Continual Light Rock. We used these all the time. They are the size of a large marble and basically never went out. Keep it in a leather bag to keep from giving away your position when you wanted to be stealthy. Some players attached them to sticks, rods, pieces of armor, etc....One of the...

I offer my players one of three methods of rolling stat numbers: 1. Roll 3d6 seven times and keep the best six. 2. Roll 4d6 six times and keep the best three in each roll. And for those who like to mix and match there numbers from a total, 3. Roll 17d6 and spread the total around your six...

Over all your HR's aren't game killers, BUT the battle grid being 5' even on diaginals will get nasty. A smart PC will use the angles on 'Area of Effect' attack to GREAT advantage. Ranged weapons will be more powerful as will the AoE weapons. You might want to re-think this one or use a hex...

I'm hosting a game on Oct. 2nd. If you are interested send me an email. Drakon66@hotmail.com Jeff

Coredump, Mouseferatu, Looks like I'll be joining you in the flames of persicusion. It seems many people play these rules like a table top war game rather than a roleplaying game. I still hold to the same philosophy I used in 1st/2nd ed in that a DM can make reasonable changes to allow...

I guess I need to keep testing the waters, as it were, to get a better feel for this rule edition. I also need to find a group that is patient with a veteran who is holding onto the past! Jeff

Argo, After some reading and your posts, I know understand how the term "off hand" is being used in the rules. I agree that the use of the spikes in this case is an off hand attack by the way the rules are written. BTW thanks for the heads up on the 6 sec. combat round. I have been using it...

Thanks for posting the rules of "Armor Spikes" and "Two Weapon Fighting", but my question still stands. What fell outside of these two rules? In the action described in my first post, both my hands are on my two handed sword, so I'm not making an "off handed" attack. Second, I'm not...

Ok....I guess I'm not following here. How would anything I just did not fall into the rules. Keep in mind I've not played much of the 3.x but have 15 years playing 1st and 2nd. And I don't have a book handy to check these things right now. Please clarify because I'd like to learn more...

It could be done without being considered two handed fighting and you would have to have the intitive to do this. While holding your two handed sword in both hands you drop your shoulder into your opponent, body check stlye. At the same time thrusting the sword into him. Assuming your spiked...

Green Slime, I have some questions before I comment on what you are doing or intend to do. 1. What class of charactor are you running? 2. What level is your charactor? 3. What is your total AC for this situation? 4. How many HP's do you have? 5. How many NPC's are you facing and how are...

I'm in Hello All, I'm a long time (since 1st. Ed.) D&D player/DM, looking for a local game to play or DM. I use the 2nd Ed. rules in an open architecture format, which means you can play beyond you charactor sheet. It also means do something stupid and there will be consiquenses. I live in...
