    equal or lower?!

    indeed, but at the same time it basically bails them out of a troublesome rule regarding retraining of powers that basically strips people of potential if they retrain to a lower level power at some point. so while it has nothing to do with retraining, it ends up fixing a potential problem with...

    equal or lower?!

    thing is, im not sure if that bit in the advancement table is in there to cover that sinkhole of a power retraining rule, or if its just a "happy coincidence" that they "kinda" allow a bailout of a potentially bad decision done early on. also, when i think about it, its probably better to just...

    equal or lower?!

    page 28 PHB, retraining, power. hmm, now that i look at it, they have covered their behinds in the character advancement table. as you hit specific points, you can replace 1 power from a specific category with a higher level one... bah, somehow i still feel cheated...

    equal or lower?!

    sorry if its been up before, but it seems that wotc is making the same mess that they did with the 3e warlock. basically its the ability to exchange a power for one of equal or lesser level. problem is that if you replace it by a lesser level power, you cant go back up again at a later time...

    Game rules are not the physics of the game world

    can someone say bastardized rpg theory?

    Speculating on Claw/Claw/Bite

    for some reason i always had trouble wrapping my head around those natural attack rules. maybe because i could never find somewhere that had them clearly spelled out, unlike the extra attacks that a PC gets when the attack bonus hit a specific number...

    Zombies! New Dungeoncraft article up

    so basically we are back at the 3.0 way of doing zombies?

    DnD Bard in Shadowrun.

    mental manipulation and illusions mostly at first glance. but i suspect there is a spell for language translation in the expanded magic book, no matter the edition used. or if one goes adept, at least SR4 makes one able to do a lot of social stuff as them...

    D&D 4E d20 Modern 4e

    hmm, reading up on 4e makes me think that they can deploy a generic modern day and sci-fi book inside 4e if done right. new classes maybe, and new guns and stuff, but overall keep the d&d basics. that was the problem of d20 modern for wotcs part, it duplicated d&d rather then build on it. you...

    Fringer: Ultimate Defense against the Dark Side!!

    so i take it that a fringer can take 20 on balance tests or something?

    Autofire and Burstfire - what sort of action?

    iirc, iterative attacks both. this because autofire just helps you to hit, and burst fire is just a step up from double tap... also, they eat so much ammo that you will not be using them much unless your carrying a belt feed weapon ;)

    D20 Future Tech: Mecha weapons table?

    given that it was originally intended as being part of the book, and it was missing, it would be a very obvious errata as it corrects said error ;) a web enhancement on the other hand is about adding to or extending the exiting rules iirc...

    d20 future, old guns and starting beyond level 1...

    it appears that i need to reread every line of text in d20 future. i just discovered a small box at the start of the equipment chapter that more or less nullify the small box at the start of the book. the DC is supposedly relative to the economy of the times, so any item thats normally...

    d20 future, old guns and starting beyond level 1...

    well the book says to roll the wealth on first level, then add the wealth found in table 7-2 on page 204 of d20 modern. and yes, they did all that. and now that i think about it, its mostly one person that is having an issue. and he kinda reacted to the wealth system from the moment they where...

    d20 future, old guns and starting beyond level 1...

    they started out with about +9WB. this means that any guns under DC9 are free... but as the new one starts out with something like +13WB, he can get better guns for free. free meaning that it will not impact his wealth bonus what so ever as said item is both under the DC15 limit and under his...

    d20 future, old guns and starting beyond level 1...

    if someone is reading both wizards and here, yes i have posted it over there to. basically im getting some player noise over the wealth system when looking at older guns in high PL situations, specifically now that im about to introduce a new player into the group and have him start a character...

    SW SAGA EDITION: Preview 7

    one interesting bit is that the mooks never did any "aid another" tests to help each other hit luke. didnt we talk about just that kind of jedi killing in earlier threads? as for the jedi being overpowered stuff, most have been said, expect that wiping the floor with mooks is what a high level...
