Thanks Gregor! If I actually manage to find players (pleads with the gods of the internet), and get my maptool campaign file tested, I'll make the campaign file publically avalable. I think it's pretty sweet, but then I would :) Most of the good stuff is on the GM's side which isn't visible in...

Who is interested in playing getting in their battle armour, and saving earth from the alien hordes? I'd like to run a game of 3:16 Carnage Amongst The Stars in Maptool - chat only, no voice. The game is inspired by movies such as Aliens and Starship Troopers, as well as gritty, morally...

What do you mean? I was entirely complimentary! <crawls away to hide in shame> Darren

Wouldn't the rods have to overcome the Dragon's SR (if it had any)? Also, "an immovable rod can support up to 8000lbs before falling to the ground." Many dragons will overload the rods - or at least have a chance of making the STR checks (DC30) to get some movement. They could also figure out...

I don't know the proper answer, but I lean towards a 4th option: 4: Any non NE creature is targeted by Dispel Magic whenever it enters the Unhallow site (once per entering). Whenever a non NE creature casts a spell within the Unhallow effect, a dispel magic is triggered to counter the spell. If...

While I would ordinarily bow to your superior intellect and debating skills, honed as I'm sure they have been in the most challenging of testing grounds (perhaps in front of the mirror - for who but a copy of Anubis could be a suitable challenge for the wit and wisdom of Anubis), the post above...

Of course I can. In fact, it's not a question of having it both ways. I'm saying that, for the purpose of initiative and action sequence, the dragon might as well be frozen in time. Of course it isn't literally frozen, but within the abstract combat system of D&D, it appears to be. But, during...

Forgive me for getting the bit stuck between my teeth, but I wasn't asking how you interpret the texts. I am simply asking which method you prefer to use in play. So which is it? Darren

Will you go green and rip your shirt? Darren

To me, that seemed ambiguous. Here's what I think you meant. If I misunderstand, please correct me. If a dragon breathes at initiative 20 in round 1, and rolls a 1 on the recharge roll, it does get to breathe at initiative 20 in round 2. Darren

To me, what the text in MMII means, is that if the dragon rolls a 1 on its recharge roll, it acts the very next round, because it has indeed waited one round. Hypersmurf's example of haste gives one example of why the "wait till next round" limit is needed. The recent discussion of DnD...

So, putting aside semantic discussion of terminology, and disagreements between official sources, how do you, kreynolds, think it should work? When a dragon breaths in round 1, and rolls a 1, do you believe it should be able to breath in round 2 or round 3? Darren

I really don't want to offend you, especially given that we see eye to eye on most issues with UKs system, but I do think you could have been a little less bombastic in your discussions with Anubis and Eldarion. I'm not saying there wasn't provocation (far from it!), and I did chuckle at the...

You take you action. You wait till your next action, one round later, and act again. Simple, is it not? ;) The word "wait" can be used in two ways in this context: either it's a metagame reference to the person controlling the creature (the player or GM acts, then waits until he is allowed to...

Three types? I'm familiar with the "take double damage if save fails, half if succeeds," and "suffer -10 to save, or double damage if no save applies" methods. What's the third? Darren

What if you roll 2? You must wait 2 rounds. Does this mean you don't get to act at all the round after you breath - if you act, you are not waiting. To me, "must wait 1 round" is identical to "must wait until next round." "Must wait 1 round" does not mean "breathe again in 2 rounds," and "must...

I haven't seen the MMII. Does it spell it out explicitly as you have, with an example, or does it simply say "must wait 1 round". If the latter, I believe you are interpreting it incorrectly. If not, then well I'm wrong :) Can you print exactly (and in full) what the MMII has to say ? Darren

I don't see a conflict. Before I take my next action, I must wait till my next turn. Darren

The MM says "Once a dragon breathes, it can't breathe again until 1d4 rounds later." If it rolls 1, the next action is 1 round later, so it can breathe. There's a feat that allows a dragon to breathe in 1d4-1 rounds, with a specificed minimum of 1 because it cannot breath twice in the same turn...
