    VP/WP in D&D?

    I wouldn't say that it was worse, just different. Critical hits are a lot more dangerous. My group and I switched over a little more than two months ago, and it is working fine for us. Though when I announce that I rolled a threat, it makes them pay attention. They have also been burning...

    Now Recruiting for WWDA: Weak Willed DMs Anonymous!

    Yeah, I belong here. The party cleric (3rd level, mind you) has a artifact-class greatsword that has a reputation as a godslayer. Do I get a nifty little button or bumper sticker or something?

    Which Class do you hate/dislike ?

    Hmmm. It seems that an overwhelming percentage hate the monk. I think I agree. Monks suck.

    D20 Wrestling

    That sounds pretty good. I think I might decide that moves cost a certain amount of VP, depending on how powerful it is. For example, a powerbomd could cost 8 VP, while a simple chop or standing side kick could cost 1 or 2 VP. How does that sound? Really simple moves like a punch or kick...

    D20 Wrestling

    Classes Note- the sytem goes with two bas attack bonuses- base striking bonus and base base grapple bonus, explained by the fact that certain wrestlers are better at striking than grappling and vice versa. I'm going to use the VP/WP, Defense bonus, and Reputation similar to the SWD20 system...

    Combat in the Woods

    My game actually has a lot of encounters in the woods. Considering that my group has 2 rangers and a druid, I made some house rules. In thick undergrowth, movement is slowed to 1/2, but druids and rangers are only reduced to 3/4. Attacks suffer the concealment penalty that I decide, depending...

    D20 Wrestling

    I think I agree. It doesn't really capture the feeling right. Well, I have some bare bones stuff I can post if anyone is interested. Unfortunately, the only way I could see it was by a class- and level-based system. The Brawler- Fists and boots are his specialty. The Grappler- Dangerous locks...

    D20 Wrestling

    OK, I admit it. I like wrestling. Call it a male soap opera if you want, or fake. I don't care. It keeps me entertained. Would anybody on these boards be interested in helping with a D20 wrestling game? Call me sick, but I kinda wanna see this happen. I have some basic ideas, but if...

    [OT] Do you believe in ghosts?

    I think they're real... Yea, I believe, and yea, I've had some experiences. I live in Fredericksburg, Virginia, home to some twenty Civil War graveyards, and before that I lived in King George county, right next to an old Indian burial ground. My window faced the field that the burial gound...

    NWN minimum system requirements

    The readme.txt file of NWN says that the game requires a 16 MB TNT2-class OpenGL 1.2 compliant video card. I'm just curious, but what video cards do you guys use, and how much did you pay for them? Also, from the fact that I am almost completely computer illiterate, is there a way to download...

    Spell Criticals?

    Thanx Thanx for the quick responses and help. And Kraedin is right: From Tome & Blood pg. 79- I just could never find that stuff in the PHB, and I completely forgaot about T&B.

    Spell Criticals?

    In the PHB, I remember reading something about the fact that spell to-hit rolls can crit. Am I wrong or can this happen? If it can, what happens when it does crit?
