note to self; read web page BEFORE commenting... Just been to mythosa.net; please ignore the man behind the curtain :)

tablesmith The best solution to this problem, I think, is to require that the full, normal installation of TS is there for the client program to use. Rather than "including" its funcitonality inside another program. Therefore the user would need to have downloaded the TS program, and could...

Re: Re: ... That would be fantastic :)

... I've settled to using; PCGen to do characters (after you trim out the bits you don't use, and... get used to a slightly sedate pace of computing, shall we say... it does the job quite nicely - I think there's a bug in the bonus spells, but I use it only for NPCs, so not a big problem)...

interfaces Yup, I'd like the same sorts of functionality for my initiative program (InitBrowse) the ability to do the following in fact; Call Tablesmith to get a result (treasure specifically) Call Table smith sending in a SEED so I always get the same result (not as silly as it sounds!) Get...

risk My advice is to intoduce a random element. If the designer's original intent was to allow a caster to risk their health, then you shouldn't have a totaly deterministic system - allowing you to calculate how much you can do removes all risk, and simply makes this a meta-gamer's feat...

time... Its a shame, but I just don't have time to read ALL of a batch in time to vote, and I can't really vote having only read one or two... so, poo... :(

... Mmmm. <devils-advocate> Its that removal of the PDFs that gives the impression of '3 weeks ago there was a free resource now there is the pending "opportunity" to pay for it'. And that tends to give the impression of going around taking away our toys... </devils-advocate> [demn...

>> How accurate is the notion that someone in plate would be hurt by the average sword blow? Does armor give away like tinfoil, or does it provide significant protection that is hard to overcome? How many blows did it normally take to bring someone down? If we had a good baseline, then we could...

... OK, some devils advocacy, and some random thoughts: Why not a variable amount of damage reduction? For example, maybe leather gives d2-1 damage reduction on a hit, but field plate gives 3d4 damage reduction? If you need to add armor penetration to weapons then it can be represented as a...

... I'm going to make 2 half-posts I think; first up are just some random bits of other system's thinking on armor that might be worth mulling over while thinking about this. Then I'll make my actual thoughts on this a seperate post. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay had armor reduce damage; the...

... Hi, thats a really good system (if you've seen my post on the crits thread, you'll know why I like it!) I think you'd need to clear up how evasion abilities interface with the saving throw critical. And you do kind of ass-u-me that people are using critical success and critical failure...

... Hi, Well, the rules look well put together, but I'm afraid my comments are pretty negative overall. I'll start with the good bits :) As an aside, I've put together some (alpha at this point) rules for what I term "felling blows", some of your ideas match quite closely with mine, some...

buzz-saw-girl She's 11th level, human fighter. And to be fair, she demonstrates the min-max system well; she has the lowest AC in the group :) Lets see, the PCs are; the human strimmer elven monk - spring attack and mobility fiend gnome wizard, quite normal really elf druid, normal again elf...

... Hrmmm... So; if we hit a hasted char at all, it dispells and hastes, once. If it is ALSO a critical, then it slows? I'd be inclined to back off a bit, and go for; Every hit can dispell a haste on the victim (any number of times). If you score a critical, then you are hasted for the next...

me again When you say that the effect only works once per round, do you mean: A; can only be triggered once per round, no matter how many criticals scored, or who against, or whether saves are passed. B; can only be triggered once per character hit, per round, no matter how many criticals or...

Rate of Fire; Multiple barrels, mate :) There are real examples of double-barrelled cavalry pistiols from around the time of the civil war - that's OUR civil war; the cavaliers and roundheads one ;) In a high-fantasy game, you can also go gattling-gun (I'll mention my campaign where I had...

Well, the title says it all. There's a whole boat load o'polls out there, should they really glut at the top of the general board?

time-stealing >>But if it only lasts for a round it wouldn't be overpowered.<< Oh yes it would! It may only last a round, but in that round you can hit AGAIN (and its made it easier for you...) Its a self-reciprocating haste-engine., IMO thats pretty broken. Think about it; you hit once...

names My current gnome mage is called; Fonkin Harbuckle which is quite a bad name... Previously I played a dwarf fighter called Dagus Goatbeard. In a twilight 2000 game there was a character (not mine!) called Bob Lawrence Zeebub But the king of bad names is one of our players who is...
