The entire game is based around a single die, the D20. It was the damage system that made it such a fast and furious game. You make a saving throw against damage, the DC is based on the intensity of the blow (so really tough hits are harder to save against). If you fail, you take a wound...

So from those of you who have SAS, does it support gritty Clairmont-age-X-men-Alan-Moore-grimness type heroes? There have been statements that it doesn't "prohibit" grey-morality characters, but I'm not entirely convinced that Billy's first impressions were inaccurate. I played MnM at the Con...

The party tends to be pretty good about offloading extras, especially large items like armor and shields. They have an HHH (the haversack, not the wrestler). So I have almost entirely turned a blind eye. Though I get a little uppity about pole-arms. ("You have been fighting with a sword and...

I really like the idea of choosing as you level where to place the bonus. But I think allowing you to choose on the fly is far too strong an advantage, as is having the choice of both full enhancement bonus or your "special" arrow. One thing to consider: why not purchase or make special arrows...

I used an overly generous character generation method (seemed like a good idea at the time) when I started my campaign, but despite the number of 17's and 18's in the party, the Rogue had a Stamina of 8 and the poor druid was all average or lower except a big phat 17 wisdom...

What level is your campaign, Crothian?

Clerics get their entire spell list. There is no reason for him to select the spells that he got at lower level...he gets them all as soon as his wisdom and level qualify him.

The fact that jumping isn't slower than running is a slight generosity of the system. Between the launch and the recovery, overall jumping has the opposite effect than Otter is looking for. From a realworld argument, you won't see someone winning a sprint by doing a long jump. If you want...

What's his Wisdom? How many levels are you skipping ahead?

One of my players wants to take "Defensive Throw" (From Oriental Adventures) for his monk. The feat (whose prerequisites include Improved Trip and Combat Reflexes) allows the Monk, as an AoO, to make an improved trip against his dodge target if the opponent misses him. And, of course, since...

English usually follows latin rules for plurals of "us" words. So I'd say pegasi. Originally it was a proper name, not a word intended to plural.

No wizards! No sorcerers! No fireballs or hastes! (Actually, the cleric has a level of Wizard, but that hardly counts...) Human Monk 7/Fighter 2 Human Paladin 6/Fighter 2 Human Cleric (Mag/Know) 8/Wizard 1 Human Rogue 8/Fighter 1 Dwarf Fighter 8

What about a well-trained pack of Blink Dogs? Dimension door away as a free action, and the mind flayer smacks down a readied STUN attack, the blink dogs charge. Fun!

If you liked Small Gods, give Pyramids a try. One of my favorites, very fun, and has some interesting mythological elements. And, did you know that Discworld camels are mathmatical geniuses? The particularly cunning camel "You Bastard" features heavily in Pyramids. And if you haven't read...

I soak it in tea and dry it in the oven.

91. You go through this thread thinking, "Oh god, this is me."

Except that Quicken Spell is useless for sorcerors, but your point is made. I'm not certain that's bad, though...that if a sorceror wants to, he can blow all his first level spell slots on a maximized Magic Missile. Woop de do, 5 points of damage! ;) I'm also not suggesting that this...

Here's an idea for an alternative way of doing metamagic feats. I think I brought this up on the board a million years ago, but I'm starting to give it some thought again. To metamagic a spell, you allow additional slots to be used up rather than spell levels. So, for example, if you wanted...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Fencing IIRC, the Duelist can't use many of his abilities when he has something in his off-hand (Precise Attack, AC bonus). The main reason for the Ambidexteriy prerequisite is so that he can go, "Hah hah! I am NOT left handed!"

Where would I find this rule?
