Why not go here. . . SAVAGE WORLDS . . .and try their free quick start rules out. :) They also offer a free conversion for their Deadlands game, and the yahoo group has quite a few files for conversions of other popular games and genres.

I agree. Just think of it as being reflective of a PC's combat style--rather than something inherent in the weapon itself. Sometimes he might be relying more on fancy footwork and feints, while at other times he might fall back on a more traditional or brute force approach.

Re: Re: Changes you'd like to see made to 3.5/4E? Might be a bit off-topic, but I thought I'd comment on this. . . I think one of the main reasons the proficiency slot system has gotten a bad rap, is more due to an unfortunate choice of words. If they had instead been called "weapon...

INTJ Introverted (I) 57% / Extraverted (E) 43% Intuitive (N) 64% / Sensing (S) 36% Thinking (T) 70% / Feeling (F) 30% Judging (J) 64% / Perceiving (P) 36% I have to admit, I was skeptical, but it really seemed to "nail" me.

Okay. . . I'll admit it. . . 23 years ago or so, I created a class for AD&D with a d20 Hit Die! . . .Oh the shame :o

I think you're confusing Cape May with Parris Island ;) Anyway. . . Former U.S.M.C. Grunt here. Some of my best games were while on deployment. I generally used the Rules Cyclopedia--as it was easier to throw in a c-bag and haul around. Semper Fi!

Congrats Enforcer! I'm finishing up next month myself :) The three years flies by, and you'll probably spend the majority of it looking for good internships and lining up possible job opportunities. ;) I had a scholarship to Cardozo, but there was no way I could swing the cost of...

Think there's any chance they'll get 2 at 1st level? ;) (I'm only half joking--if it weren't for multi-classing, I think it might be a nice flavor element.)

Gack!!! :eek: Even leaving aside the fact that it takes two hands to load them, I don't think so. Of course, this is a fantasy game. ;)

I love slings!!! I had a whole host of bookmarks on them that got lost when my computer crashed. Anyway... The stones (or cast clay shot) could indeed weigh half a pound. As I recall, the typical weight was around 200-300 grams or thereabouts (I really need to check on this and get back...

Even better :)

Taking inspiration from the "Archmage", perhaps it would be worthwhile to re-name most PrCs? Expert Tracker Veteran Swashbuckler Senior Whatever... In this way, you could start at 1st level as a Tracker, Swashbuckler, or Whatever, and then gradually become more proficient in your chosen...

I assumed all armours were sans helmet for my system (see link above). The problem, for me, with merely penalizing AC for not wearing an included helmet, would be that there is currently no corresponding benefit to help offset the penalty--and therefore little reason (besides the catchall...

Hey, thanks :) I tried a quick run through of the house rules forum, but I don't have access to the search function. BTW, if you don't want to penalize a PC for not wearing a helmet--as some have expressed concern over--the Threat APs can be changed to suit your campaign; for example... None...

I posted rules for helm/ets providing "Threat APs" several years ago--and periodically since. Basically, it is assumed that a disproportionate number of critical threats will be against the head and, therefore, helm/ets will provide a disproportionate amount of protection at such times. They...

That's a cool idea :)

I'll second the point concerning the glut in the market. Modules, in general, used to fall into low, medium, and high level campaigns--running from 1st to 12th level, or thereabouts. Slow level progression kept all but the longest running campaigns from moving beyond this--it also meant that a...

:D OK, maybe just arcane magic then. I agree. Maybe the action die type/number would be dependent upon the value of non-divine magical gear carried on your person at the beginning of an adventure; while no action dice could be used while the subject of a beneficial arcane spell, or while...

I pretty much agree--but, just to play the devil's advocate... What about those characters who don't wish to "magic up"? Perhaps a mechanic similar to essence in Shadowrun? Magic could be viewed as the "cyberware" of the D&D world, and the presence of magic would degrade a hero's "luck". I...

My mom's allergic to doghair, so I had two small poodles growing up--they were both pretty rough and tumble, and must have thought they were actually great danes. Both lived till around 18 years; and, though they've been gone for over 10 years, I still find myself missing them terribly on...
