If you can walk an AT-AT through it, why can't you fly a ship through it? I still think there have to be two types.

Begs the question as to how the AT-AT's got through the shield. Unless the rebels were silly enough to leave the shield generator outside the shield, in which case why not blow it up from orbit?

Actually, the players are really constantly on the move, at least recently, which precipitated the complaint. However, I am beginning to think that this matches the "wizard way", so I am going to keep it the way it is... Thanks!

My wizard players are complaining a bit about the length of time and expense it takes to copy a spell from a scroll or borrowed/looted spellbook into their own. I have made the point about play balance and relative value of corresponding magic items, but it feels a bit weak as a justification...

Let's also not forget that when WEG had Star Wars, it was in that slow time period between RotJ and TPM. The franchise was not worth a tenth of what it was immediately before and subsequent to Episode 1. WEG was able to crank out tons of licensed Star Wars stuff because the license was...

I am reading the Zahn trilogy now, and just got past the part that you refer to. There is a lot of hoo-hah about the ability to take a planet and leave it's planetary defenses intact. You have to land planetary forces to take out the shield generator(s), so that the ISD's can take out the...

Oooh. Good point. I had forgotten that.

The party rogue is sneaking up for an attack on a mage, who is hiding in the midst of a darkness spell. The rogue has detect magic up, and is intending to spot the mage by the difference in aura strength between the magic items the mage is carrying and the darkness spell. This will be no more...

In my campaign there are celestial spheres orbiting the world that impart the magical capabilities upon it. The colors I chose: Evocation: Red Illusion: Yellow Divination: White Necromancy: Black Conjuration: Orange Abjuration: Blue Enchantment: Green Transmutation: Purple Of these, I felt...

I have two problems with metric: 1) I can't visualize distances in metric. This is not because I don't like it - I think it is idiocy that we are still using imperial units in the US. But all practical applications of measurement in the US are in feet and constantly doing conversions in my...

Don't mean to be the lone devil's advocate here, but one thing is worrying me about this decision. Gencon, and cons in general, don't make a ton of money. Folks who know folks who organize smaller cons know that they have to struggle just to break even. Cons the size of Origins and Gencon...

He's going to be very popular...

Thanks Christian. I searched all through the WotC web site for that. They sure don't make it easy to find...

Hmmm? The rule (pg 134 PHB) says "do nothing for an entire round". Can't move, not even a 5 foot step, per the Sage. An attack of opportunity is not nothing, but similar wording has been placed around Total Defense and the official word in that case is that you can still take AoO's (albeit at...

Hola, I hear tell that the latest printing of the PHB has an appendix expanding on Attacks of Opportunity in the back (instead of the 2000 Survival Kit in my copy which is quite useless at this point). Does anyone know if this is available for download somewhere? Are there any other changes...

Well, the game situation is that one of the PC's is an apprentice of the cranky ArchMage. Lots of stuff he isn't supposed to see, so the ArchMage locks it and delivers stern warnings. Creating and maintaining all those protection spells would seem like a lot of work for a wizard with a lot on...

This is just one of the major problems I have with Arcane Lock. I also have a big problem with the fact that an 18th level ArchMage can Arcane Lock a chest, and a third level wizard can come along with a Knock spell and open it. There should be an opposed check, or a limit to the difference in...

I had the same impulse, and started converting squares to hexes for Star Wars d20. If you think it makes sense for DnD, it makes even more sense for Star Wars. You don't have as many game rules tied to squares (magical area effects, etc...), so the conversion is easier. SW has no attacks of...

I will definitely be buying the RCR for Star Wars. Not really because I want Episode II stuff, though. I have been underwhelmed by the trailers, and I await AotC with trepidation. Anyone else cringe at the lack of chemistry/talent displayed by Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman in the...

Ah, Heighten Spell is just what the doctor ordered. Not sure why I missed that... Thanks! -B-
