Here is the critical miss table we use in my games: Melee - roll 1d10 1-2 : You have overextended yourself. Lose 1 attack at your highest bonus next round. 3-4 : You have left an opening in your defense. Opponent gets a free AoO against you instantly. This does not...

Whohoo! Always happy to see this story hour still in operation. I was hoping to see some Formian action, but some soul stealing lizards are just as good! ;)

One of the helpful mods here will no doubt move this over once they notice it. Personally, I like your system. I'd suggest that Magical Armor and Shields aren't Immune ... but they can't be degraded except by Weapons/Attacks of equal or greater plus. In addition, I'd say each plus would give...

Currently, my group's last two games have ended up in TPKs. As another poster put it, our alignment tends towards Chaotic Suicidal. The first TPK was at the hands of Beholders. A nest of Beholders had taken over an alien ship, and was using the advanced tech to slowly begin taking over the...

It was just to avoid having to type out "rolls a 20 and then confirms the critical." Yes, I am that lazy. :p Thanks for the quick replies!

Maybe its just me but it seems that a 30d6 attack is ROUGH. Sure, Protection from Elements would keep you safe, but thats assuming you have it prepped and ready. Even then, with 30d6 doing an average of 105 if you fail the save or 52.5 if you make it, the breath weapon of a 10-header will chew...

I remember some time ago reading about critical hits on energy and ability drains, but I do not remember if it was possible or not. So if a Wraith rolls two 20s in a row, does it drain 2d6 Con?

Earlier on, someone said the d6 system was different from Shadowrun. But since it sounds like d6 has more in common with Shadowrun than with d20, anyone want to do a comparison of them (Shadowrun and d6)? :heh:

Did anyone else catch Sci-Fi's "The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan"? I wasn't paying full attention, but everytime I looked it was pretty engrossing ... as well as pretty weird/creepy. If the documenters were to be believed, Shymalan went through a lot of strange experiences as a child...

Simple question ... you have a +1 AC (Morale) and a spell is cast on you giving you a -4 AC (Morale). Do you now have a -3 AC (Morale), +1 AC (Morale), or -4 AC (Morale)? In other words, do bonuses and penalties of the same type add together, or does one overwrite the other (as is usually the...

Ok, ok! You've twisted my arm! :p I'd like to take you up on your offer to make the character from my description, but it looks like you have two or three people already taking that option. If you'd like I could instead make a 3e DnD character for you to port, or I could try to use my 4th...

I haven't been able to keep up with how many each DM now has, but I'll go with doghead if he isn't filled up yet. I'll be making a Human Medic, probably tonight, but I might have to put it off 'till tomorrow. Should I post him to the Yahoo! group?

Hmm. I'm interested, but its been a LONG time since I've done anything in Hero. Let me look over it and I'll post again this weekend on whether or not I'm in or not. Either way though, very cool idea! :)

I'm unbiased as to who DMs me. I don't know any of the free WotC modules (I have some downloaded ... and sitting on my stack of "to read someday" :heh: ) I will probably end up making a Cleric-like character. Perhaps more melee oriented, though (Paladin maybe?)

I'll give this a chance, and offer myself in as a player. Dunno if I got in too late though. I've played in a few PbP games before, and tried to run one once that fell apart :heh: . I've never tested a book, but I think I have a good feel for what works and what doesn't.

Simple question really ... does the "mental control" prevented by such spells as Protection from Evil prevent Hold Monster? Since Hold Monster is listed as Mind-Affecting, it certainly seems reasonable to assume it does. But then that would seem to suggest it protects against ALL Mind-Affecting...

Question 1 - The two Sorcerors in my party enjoy using the Sculpt Spell Metamagic from Tome and Blood pretty often. Almost always, they use the four 10 foot cube arrangement. Can they really put the cubes anywhere within range, or does each cube have to be within so many feet of the other cubes...

Wands, being Spell-Trigger items, are unusable by people without spell casting capability. I think I read somewhere that you could make a Staff with only one spell in it ... essentially Staves are upgraded Wands with the ability to have multiple spells. That leaves potions ... isn't there a...

Me too. I've never read the book, but I've seen the movie. Giant evil pac-men with rotating-circular-saw-teeth. Nasty things.
