I have both GURPS Discworld, and GURPS Discworld Also. Being written by Pratchett, I have to assume that they are pretty close to how he sees the world. However, while I like the books pretty well themselves, I've never tried using them because I dislike the GURPS system. Using the books as a...

Tordek. It's all about the axe, particularly the Epic axe. --Seule

Spoilers: Madness in Freeport Case 3266 Part 2 Case of the Jade Statue After Constable Endrin banished the undead creature I took the cutlass from the sand. It appeared quite valuable and I did not want anyone to steal it so I took it into protective custody until its owner could be found...

Spoilers: Madness in Freeport Case 3266 The Case of the Jade Snake Statue, part 1 It all started when the team was invited to a pre-lighthouse party to receive the Medal of Drac for our role in rooting out Ex-Councilor Verlaine and his Temple of the Yellow Sign. A few hours into the party...

Yes, my GM also allows me to buy ExWeakness for other schools, but I resent having to buy 4 or 5 ranks of Exploit Weakness (Gaulle) for my Vodacce character. It's an obscure school from another region, and the odds of me fighting another practitioner are pretty slim. On the other hand, nobody...

Yes, it only applies to the school that you got it in. I wouldn't miss it, I'm cursing that I have to buy ranks in it in 7thSea in order to go up in rank as a Swordsman. I'd just ignore it, really. --Seule

I'm also surprised nobody has made one. My wife's superpower is finding things, and yes, I am very happy to be married, to another gamer no less. We met at a gaming con. --Seule

Although 7th Sea is a point-buy system rather than a levelled system, Exploit Weakness (school) is limited to those who are in said school. Giving it as a class ability is perfectly reasonable. It also gives bonuses against people using that school, I'd probably give +1/hit and +1/AC (or...

In 7th Sea, Exploit Weakness adds unkept dice to Attack and Active Defense against someone who is currently using the listed school. Note that it doesn't apply to Passive Defense, so it doesn't make you harder to hit, it makes you better at parrying, should you sacrifice an action to try. I'd...

Congratulations. Getting married can be the best thing you'll ever do. Don't let anyone get bent up about the Best Man / Maid of Honour thing, I had a 'normal' heterosexual wedding, where my sister was my best man, dress and all. She was the one I wanted, and nobody complained. May your entire...

Spoilers: Deus Ex Machina The player who was writing session reports as letter to her dad has gotten a fulltime job, and has stopped. More recently, another player (Constable Benton Fraser) has started writing reports to the Captain, and I'll post them here. Not posted: The end of Terror in...

I have checked rpgsheets, yes. But then my wife found my actual copy of the sheet last night, something like 2 years after I lost it. Talk about timing! --Seule

I bought the WotC character sheets when they came out, and the only part I liked much was the Companion Animal sheet. I've since long lost the original, and the only copy I have left is much used and written on, as well as a bad copy. I don't want to buy a new entire set of sheets, and I don't...

Stand Still (Psionic feat) is your best friend here. --Seule

Ghost Touch is not bad, but I don't believe it allows you to attack Prime targets from the Ethereal, it just can become incorporeal at will, basically. Screaming from Magic of Faerun is fun. Seeking negates miss chances from concealment, also from MoF. Keen is always good. Speed is only good if...

Basically, for your purposes, your hit points are converted into Vitality Points, which represent near misses and suchlike that cause you to tire. You also have Wound Points which represent actual damage, and are equal to your Constitution. Once you take Wound damage, you are Fatigued (as in...

I think you might want to try the Wound Point/Vitality Point system from Starwars d20. It models this very well, most of the time you have merely taken Vitality damage, and can thus heal very quickly. You could even have criticals not bypass vitality, but work to multiply damage as in D&D...

Well, the campaign in question is Living Greyhawk, and with the current rulings, it's not possible to take the PrC, unless I'm mistaken about the prereqs. If I'm not, and I'm still hoping someone with a T&B handy can check, I'll be posting to the main LG email list asking what I should do...

My memory (don't have my books at work) says that the Elemental Savant PrC requires 5 spells to be known with the element's descriptor, among other requirements. I did a search for officially approved spells with the Acid descriptor, and these are the ones I found: Level 1 Lesser Acid Orb -...

I used the Razing of Redshore as the introduction to Epic levels. It's a module in Dungeon magazine from when the ELH first came out, specifically tailored for that. With a little fixing up to fit my world, it was great. The game I'm in didn't have a specific division before Epic levels, but...
