I altered x-bows to try to make them a more viable alternative, and now I have 2 bow users, and 2 x-bow users in the group. All I did was raise the damage dice for all crossbows by 1 type (light to D10, heavy to D12 etc) Makes a bigger difference than it sounds, due to their better threat range...

In all cases I consider declaring yourself for one of the 4 axes of alignment to be a declaration of "dogma"; you believe in the correctness of this axiom, and will argue for it, deny arguments against it, and if need be, fight for it. By extension, not declaring (i.e. being neutral on an axis)...

"First, the room is dark. All the players are slim and handsome perhaps taken directly from the West Wing-cast. They wear black overalls of the kind mimics use. Through the blackness you only can make out the visages and hands of the participants. There is no table. In fact there are no...

Ranger REG: "Will Wizards consider changing the the two licenses with regards to "interactive games" (legal definition)?" Remember that Hasbro sold the rights to produce "interractive games" based on their IP to Infogrames (i think thats the right company). This specifically means they CANNOT...

The government has not done away with the house of lords :) The right (duty) of the hereditary peers to sit in the house has been, well, reformed away. The house remains, and life peers sit in it. This means 2 things; First, our government has shed a lot of baggage created by having...

Some thoughts; 1; houserule Iajutsu (sp?) to only be useable the first attack (while unsheathing) in an encounter, and liberally pelt any player who _ever_ asks to re-sheath their weapon to get the bonus twice! Then your first feat is fine. 2; for me, and I would think several other DMs, your...

some tidbits I've only got little tidbits of info, but some might be worth tacking on... Dragongirl mentioned: Barons Wife : Baroness Style : The Right Hon. the Baron of ________ Addressed : My Lord Children : no honorific The reason that the offspring of a Baron (or Baroness) have no...

Actually console owners who still use carts might get confused... Games on cart always state size in "megs" and are in fact using Mb, but intending you to think they are meaning MB, and hence think they've created 8 times more than they have... OK, so maybe this is now a case of "used to...

As an aside, what I originally planned to do was remove the concept of "spells" as entities that are pre-determined altogether... I remember a CRPG (forget the name though) where the magic system consisted of combining components to get the spell effect you wanted. For instance, you would find...

voadam; By your own admission then, its only of use AFTER being sure the products are of equal quality... And remember, the page count and price are both available for you in the little boxes at the end of the reviews anyway. Plus, the PPP metric assumes you pay the SRP... The ESDs are a...

Forgot to sum up; The only true metric for these products is the core of what you wnt from the review; Is this particular product, in toto, worth paying the asking price. Quality, nature and quantity of content are all, then, accounted for together, in much less absolutist terms.

This is the magic system I use IMC. No Sorcerors, reason becomes obvious below. All spellcasters learn spells in a similar way to wizards (all level 0 and 4 spells at level 1, 2 spells per level thereafter, any others you learn are a seperate issue) Clerics automatically learn their domain...

I see two immediate and pretty severe problems with the concept of "price per page" being a valid metric for these (or any RPG) books. Firstly, I've not seen account for variation in aspects such as full color vs black and white printing, high gloss vs matt paper, or even hard back vs softback...

"And a ton of people don't bother to get it, figuring they will never need it. I could name four people I personaly know off the top of my head with no car insurance and still drive." This is why, in the UK, you have to licence your car each year, and display a valid licence disc. If you don't...

"'course, if I use an entirely different language, I might just as well convert it to Java and make it cross-platform..." Gah! .. and excruciatingly slow :(

Ah yes, getting your hands on a true name. First you (the DM) need to decide who or what will have truenames. This really boils down to; does joe the farmer have a truename? or only the powerful, immortal types. This can drastically change the methods for getting truenames. For instance; joe's...

Evening :) Generally the concept of a truename is used to grant the user of that name great(er) power over the named thing. I've seen this treated as running from being a requirement for summoning, binding and controlling demons in some games, through to working similarly to a power component...

cats Back a while, when I ran Planescape, the first NPC I used was a talking cat. He was green, and recruited the PCs for their introductory adventure. A talking green cat, on a mission from Loki, certainly had the right effect on my players; "This is not your normal FRP..." I liked that cat...

Certainly; at £1.99 i'll try to pick one up just to see what it actually is, probably assassin...

colour me confused... 2 classes that already exist, a fighter and a cleric? don't understand the point of these products, I'm afraid
