I'm guessing you say this because that book has a similar mechanic? If so, do you have any details on it?

Or Ride-by Attacking :]

Where's it from 'n what does it do?

I've asked one of the shops I use here in Copenhagen, and they said they were planning on getting the hard covers when they come out, but they said the box set wasn't on the list of stuff they could order from TLG. Btw, Davis, I still haven't received a reply to the mail I send you (TLG) about...

Came up with a better balanced mechanic, which makes the risk of spellcasting carrying over to your next action 50% at the most. Level check vs a DC of 10+(2Xspell level) While it looks less elegant than my first idea, it scales much better throughout the whole level range (and you don't have...

It may please you to know that you're not the first to think of this. In his 'Hamlet of Thumble' module Ed Cha put in the exact same thing as a variant rule.

Lord Vangarel, we seem to be in agreement on a lot of things. I too liked the simplicity of 1e rules and the flow of 1e combat, but I also am not just looking to go back, as 3e and d20 have brought many improvements. Naturally we may disagree on what should be kept from 3e and what should be...

I've seen a few mentions of the Paladin's Remove Disease being too weak and it's 'X times/week' mechanic being overly archaic, and I've even seen somebody say that it might as well be removed all together. But since I feel that it's one of the sacred cows that shouldn't be put out to pasture...

Did anyone here from Europe, or maybe even Scandinavia, get the Castles & Crusades box set? If so, how much was the shipping? Btw, are there any representatives here from Troll Lord Games? I wrote you a mail a couple of days ago asking about whether you have any more box sets left, but have...

Weren't they in the original Baldur's Gate as well?

Being sub-classes of the Fighter, we let the Paladin and the Ranger roll for exceptional strength as well. (But I can see now how the text could be interpreted otherwise, with it's 'Note that only fighters are permitted to roll on the exceptional strength section of STRENGT TABLE II: ABILITY...

Once again, thanks a lot! While I digest the numbers, I'll share my thoughts on the origins of the Surgical Strike feat (the one I proposed that does away with the need for a confirmation roll on a crit). Initially my thinking was that this mechanic should have been what the Improved Critical...

If you're looking for a specific thread, I can't help you. But if you're looking for a house rule on Haste that allows extra move or extra attacks but no extra spells, I'll show you my house rule: 'Haste: Target gains an extra Partial action (non Magical), +2 AC, Attack Rolls & Ref Saves. Jump...

2/1 meant two arrows per round. If you were specialized 2/1 still meant two arrows per round. (And didn't it increase to 3/1? At 7th?)

Very cool, guys; thanks a lot! How about if a 5, 10 or a 20 is needed?

Can someone name the 11 feats, 8 skills and 15 weapons?

Very cool, FireLance; thanks for taking the time to do this! Unfortunately I don't have Excel so I can't open the file, so maybe you (or someone else) can tell me how the following examples compare: Rapier 1d6, 17-20x2 Longsword 1d8, 18-20x2 Battleaxe 1d8, 19-20x3 Rapier 1d6, 16-20x2...

I agree. I don't see anything wrong with limiting the Paladin class to humans, if it fits the flavor of the campaign.

This is pretty close to my house ruled Haste and Slow as well, as I too wanted them to mechanically cancel each other out. When you say 'double movement', does it mean just that, in the way that you don't get to make any extra attacks? Here's mine: 'Haste: Target gains an extra Partial action...

It doesn't matter. Being always Chaotic Evil might be a strict standard. To be a Paladin you must be Good. I said nothing about letting evil orcs get away. My example was a robber being gunned down from the back. He might be neutral or even good, and rarely is the appropriate punisment for...
