And this is where my uncertainty stems from. Of course, immunities work the opposite way. And neither resistance nor immunity is a bonus (though you could view resistance as a penalty). Bonuses to attack and damage rolls that apply to powers with a specific keyword would still apply it a...

Let's say I have a character with the Focused Mind feat (PHB3: +4 feat bonus to saving throws against dazing effects and stunning effects). Next let's say the character gets the following condition imposed on him: target is dazed and weakened (save ends both). Would I get to apply the +4 bonus...

I'd actually done that already, as well as search deviantART. I haven't found quite what I'm looking for. I keep hoping someone will reveal a secret internet stash of barsoomian goodness. I can dream, right? ;)

I'm trying to prepare a Savage Worlds game that's an homage to ERB's Barsoom. I've found some excellent miniatures over at Bronze Age Miniatures. So what I'm really looking for now is art. In particular I'm trying to find a picture of a riderless thoat, prefferable top down. My intent is to...

I saw a free preview screening last night. It followed the priciple thread of the book pretty closely. I thought the tone was pretty close and the acting was generally good, overall. No punches were pulled in the translation, and the R rating was well earned. It's been about four years since...

While this is true, that the League members were portrayed as monsters in the comics, it's also important to note that they were often the heroes, or at least protagonists, of their reference literature.

True, but in an actual game these would likely become two NPCs and a McGuffin. If the PCs don't have powers, there isn't a need for a supers system. And I think the power section in Savage Worlds is probably sufficient for any gadgeteering you may have going on. D20 Future (and by extention...

If you're hewing fairly closely to the Watchman vibe, where there would generally be no super powers then maybe instead of a superhero game you should look for a pulp adventure or action game. I'd probably use Savage Worlds (Explorer's Edition), since it's quick for someone used to playing d20...

I've run one Pirates of the Spanish Main game, and it was pretty fun. Character generation ended up being day of, and took less than an hour for the three player's who had never read the rules before. While not a d20 game the flow of combat reminded me a lot of my AD&D days, nice and fast...

While we haven't had pregnant players at our table, pregnancy and birth has had an effect on our game. When my wife gave birth to our first kid, I wasn't able to work gaming back in for almost a year. Unfortunately, our group was so small at the time that it put the whole game on hold for the...

Thanks for all the great responses! Now I just have to decide on which one.

I'm trying to find a mini for a mad scientist type NPC. Labcoat, goggles, maybe a deathray, that sort of thing. Does anyone no where I could find such a thing?

Looking at my PHB it appears that axes are Str and Con weapons, and and the fighter powers that call them out usually give extra damage equal to Con. So it doesn't appear that you necessarily have to change the weapon Weapon is wielding.

Not particularly, since the reserve feat is not a standard class feature of the wizard, and when his spells of one type are gone so is the reserve power. The warblade on the other hand has a full BAB and a few stances as class features, and he can still fight all day. So it seems that the...

Unlike the wizard the warblade does at least have a sustained attack, and will usually have a number of interesting melee feats to use as well. Most combats at our table seem to fall into the 5-10 round range, so I'd just end up pacing myself a little and thinking tactically about when it's...
