I did not know that, so thanks for telling. If that is the case, I would still purchase the original to have in my collection, but use the free downloads for game play. Thanks again... I will look for the Gamma World crossover rule set, and see if it has the rules. I am not familiar with...

Folks: Does the old Star Frontiers game by TSR have rules for Psionics? If so, what resources should I look for, or what house rules havebeen? Thanks, JJ

Another good point about stacking Haste with Accelerate, which would be insane amount of attacks; however, Accelerate Time (I will have to look, not familiar) could have a good case as to stacking since Environment and character are modified. Thanks.

Hmmm... I didn't think about that, which is a good point. I guess the argument - the character turns into a small/light weight version is out since the weight variation is small as well. This is a tough call.

Thank you very much for detailing the two different methods of "natural weapons", and puching/wrestling attacks. This does clearify some items for us.

To tell you the truth, I am not sure if I understand the rules for Metamorphosis. I thought the character would get the number of attacks of/for the creature turned into. Since the Thri-Kreen gets 5x natural attacks, I thought the character would get the attacks as well, which would be in...

I have a Human that Metamorphs into a Thri-Kreen to get the extra attack bonuses for unarmed attacks, sorry if I made this confusing. I associated the two together, but maybe I should not have done that. I was trying to detail as much as I could to describe why I thought about nerfing...

I need some insight and suggestions as to handle Haste spell and PSI Accelerate. Currently I have a PSI using the Accelerate and Metamorphosis power to turn into a Thri-kreen which gets 5x natural attacks per round, and Accelerated 10x attacks per round. 4XClaw at 1d4 and 1x 1d4+1 bite...

I am a littlelost on the following rule. The DMG details rules - when unarmed characters attack armed characters, the defender gets a free attack, which takes place before initiative. In addition, each attack by the defender receives a +4 to hit and damage bonus. Let us reasonabilityassume...

Orius - excellent, I took the same route, since it made the most sense - due to the fact that claw/bite are different attack forms.

Water Bob Thank you for the help in the Traveller form - Also, I just picked up a copy of Star Trek "Basic RPG" rules off Ebay. Currently I am reading the rules; however, this is great timing for a Star Trek write up, which is getting me in gear to run a Star Trek themed game session. Your write...

Water Bob Thanks for such a detailed write up. I think I am going to include this in my game. Mongoose version is great; however, my group are older players, and we all felt that it lacked that "older rpg mood"; however, it could be just us old-farts and Classic.

Thank you for pointing that out. I was not forgetting STR hit/damage bonuses, but I was making it confusing since I was lumping them together when I would say "Base THAC0". Glad you pointed that out, which has made that aspect of this discussion more complete for others to follow. Thanks...

I will try to dig up my Complete Book of Humaniods from storage and see what I can find. Thank for the pointers - I was in error and blended two of my ideas together. If a Fighter has a "Wild Talent" of "Animal Affinity", would you grant specilization to the natural attack forms? If the latter...

Can someone point me to where Natural Weapons/Attacks are covered in which books? I do not have access to my game material right now, but I want to dive right in and read about these items. I am guessing that natural weapons/attacks will have a speed factor of 0, so no modifications will need...

Hi the Jester - You make a great point, and only Fighters can have specialization. I will have to read up on Natural Weapons, and how the attack methods work. I am not familiar with it, so I thank everyone who brought it to my attention.

Hi Orius - natural attack/weapon, so only THAC0 will apply? Do you suspect it would be wise to limit this and “not” to include specialization bonuses related to the natural attack? Since every character is proficient in punching and wrestling, would it make sense to handle this in a similar...

2nd Edition AD&D Complete Psionic Handbook – Animal Affinity Folks: My group and I are starting to use the Complete Psionic Handbook, but we are not sure how to use the following. A character has been created, which has the “Animal Affinity” Psychometabolic science, and rolled “Tiger” on the...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. We just wanted to try something else; however, I suspect the results would derail the system, and require additional resources to balance the game if converted to use 3d6. As for using 2d10, I am not sure how that works, but will investigate.

Folks; I have been playing AD&D 2nd ed for some time now; however, my group and I want to try something new. We want to use 3d6 rolls to change it up and give something new to our game. Has anyone attempted to convert all the modifies to run with 3d6 or offer any suggestions for a 3d6...
