Ahhh Star Frontiers... fighting Sathar, saving Volturnus... oh yeah. As a Yazirian it was cool to wear goggles... before Riddick. Too bad the combat was such that you couldn't hit the broadside of a battleship...

Boardgames my group plays: Boggle Shuffle a box of lettered dice; make words. A great filler while waiting for players. Keeps your brain sharp. Civilization/Advanced Civilization Grow a culture from the roots. Long, but entertaining. The Western Extension Map adds some interesting options...

What's that smell? Ugh... another case of ridiculous comparisons: Macs are better than PCs! PCs are better than Macs! Apples are better than oranges! Oranges are better than apples! Dodge Vipers are better than AMC Gremlins! AMC Gremlins are... uhm... nevermind. Anyway... What are you...

Greatest Villian of All Time: Thulsa Doom (Conan The Barbarian) Runners Up: Darth Vader (Star Wars) Hans Grüber (Die Hard) Bridget Gregory/Wendy Kroy (The Last Seduction) Dargent Peytraud (Serpent and the Rainbow) Agent Smith (The Matrix)

Strategic Review Ranger This is a repost from WotC boards. I put it together from the Dragon Archive CD. The Strategic Review No. 2, Summer 1975. I thinks it's kinda ironic that they can get giant followers. Oh, and two hobbits for one other is just too funny. :D

But what about pointed sticks?

Track allows anyone with the feat to detect/follow tracks with a high DC much like the Rogue's ability to detect/disable high DC traps. It'd probably have been less clunky if they'd kept to one type of mechanic. Remove the Track feat and allow only the Ranger to track using WL above a set DC...

Ahh, but agriculture is a two-edged sword. It's a great invention and a miserable curse of civilization. By growing food, processing it, and distributing it, we create more labor than it would have taken to merely hunt or grow your own. Also we deceive ourselves into thinking that we can...

Pointed sticks.

Re: A few more ideas How in the wide, wide world of carpal-tunnel-syndrome do you roll 11,200 10-sided dice!?

Exactly... They don't get an animal companion that's already been bonded. They'll have to find one in play.

Another way to control multi-classing, a little like the Spycraft method is to make one basic ability unavailable if you class into it later. This is off the top of my head, so be gentle... BBN: No Fast Movement BRD: No Bardic Knowledge CLR: Only one Domain DRD: No Nature Sense (and obviously...

Judas, IIRC Chaosium's Pendragon RPG had check boxes by all the skills. If you used it you checked it. After the adventure, you'd roll vs your current skill to increase it. Thus, as you got better at a skill, there's less to know about it, ultimately capping its upper end. It actually makes a...

I have a barrage of questions: Is comeliness a randomly determined stat or do you have to spend out of the precious few 25 points you start with? There is no high BAB? Just the low and medium used in Coc? I guess no really skilled fighter types in Harn huh? Can one choose exclusive skills for...
