Lance doesn't look like a Tour-de-France winner this year. Both Indurain and Riis predict that he won't regain his title. Ullrich looks good and is a firm favourite to win the second time trial. Question is: how much damage will Zubielda, Mayo and Vinokourov inflict on Tourmalet and Luz-Ardiden...

Re: Re: Re: Variant Rules Yeah - that's exactly why I included it. My player's liked it instantly as they felt it also gave them a chance to actively avoid being hit (go figure). It can slow combat down a bit, admittedly, but using the "roll all dice at once" suggestion from the 3.0 DMG (or is...

I use Instant Kill, Clobbered and Defense Rolls IMC... -Zarrock

Heh - I should know - I'm Danish ;). It's just that Denmark has one of the lowest average life expectancies for men in the world (think it's 73). When I remember my teens and how unrestrained we treated a lot of things, I can understand that :p. I heard that drinking (regular heavy drinking...

Hmm. I think those rules need to be revised for Scandinavian countries. The drinking intake that takes place here would probably place average con between 24-26 while the average life expectancy puts it closer to 8..... -Zarrock

Heh. I used to be "Zarrock, Primordial Evil" (if you ever visited my sites you'd know why I have this nick ;) ) on Eric's old boards. But when I had to transfer (during one of the board transitions), the nickname stayed "taken" even though I couldn't log in through it. So I thought: "What the...

Well, haven't been doing as much gaming for the last three year as I'd have wanted but this is what it sums up to: One campaign from 1st to 6th level (7 characters average) One campaign from 6th to 6th level (7 characters - one session - I moved and the campaign terminated) One campaign from...

Some posts here are just brilliant :p . Three points for eloquence! -Zarrock

I only disagree with this partly (for the reasons that have been stated by others more than once above). I think the 3.5 is a wonderful improvement over the 3.0 paladin but I'm also extremely fond of Monte Cook's "Book of Hallowed Might" paladin. I guess, I'll probably fuse the two.... -Zarrock

One man, I WOULD have loved to see on the design team is Sean K Reynolds (of course I know that would have been impossible). IMO, he has the coolest head in the business when it comes to analyzing rules (especially on a mathematical basis). AND he writes some good stuff. -Zarrock

Re: Re: re The comment about sorcerers underlines what I'm trying to say here. If you posted a poll on this board (a minor representation of the DnD community as it may be), you'd probably find that at least half think sorcerer's are just fine - or even overpowered. Try to think of it - the...

Re: Re: Re: Re: 3.5 books are a rip-off! You heard it here first! Those are not necessarily bad changes Iron_Chef and I don't doubt your ability to come up with acceptable or even desirable rules changes. But as you should probably know by now, tons of work, discussion and testing has gone...

Woohoo! First Danish victory on an etape since the Golden year of 1996 (with Danish etapé winners as well as the overall victory to Bjarne Riis). Good work Piil and it places Team CSC at number 1 in the Team Competition. -Zarrock

Re: Re: 3.5 books are a rip-off! You heard it here first! You're pointing out my main MAJOR gripe with criticism such as this. WotC (and in other cases other companies) has done nothing to mislead you as to what the 3,5 revisions where. As a matter of fact, they've been quite communicative...

No. It just deals 1d6 damage per caster level up to a max of 5d6 (as listed above). -Zarrock

Yeah, it's pretty graphical, I like violence - really do :p. Even introduced a severity point system so we can splinter those bones and chop of those pesky hands... Seriously, though, it's mostly a matter of time. If we're in a hurry to finish a session I cut back on superfluous descriptions...

Personally, I'm very happy about this development and it would be quite refreshing to see low-level wizards and sorcerers using these kind of attack strategies instead of the proven magic missile/burning hands barrages... :) -Zarrock

Monte has updated his review for the reasons he mentions here: http://www.montecook.com/arch_review26_add.html The change is mainly an expansion of the positive comments Monte made. I pasted them here for ease of reference: The Good Things I'll start with the things I really liked. Some of...

Could be better - but some of the pictures are quite "distinctive" in their feel and I like them... -Zarrock

Vinokourov is not that bad on time trials actually. He's had an astounding year with a strew of amazing victories (Amstel Gold Race, Tour de Swiss to name a few) and looks like a genuine contender. Now I just wonder how well Tyler can do on the time trial with his injury... -Zarrock
