Allow me to hijack this thread just a bit. :) In a recent game, a Glaive-wielding dwarf barbarian got turned into a werewolf. I wasn't aware of the rules for lycanthropes using weapons, so I said he could keep using it until he dropped it, at which point I ruled that he was too concerned with...

This is a false dilemma. There are more than two answers here, as either could be neutral. In this case, A is good and B is neutral. Why is A good? It is an altruistic approach, helping others with no expectation of personal gain. B is not evil, however, for it does not intend to hurt...

Here you go A modern anti-D&D article. Read and enjoy. http://www.chick.com/articles/frpg.asp

1.) How common is a level of education for the NPCs (and PCs) in your game world? In most countries, the majority is entirely uneducated. There are two countries which are exceptions to this rule. One is a vast, centrally located empire that needs competent administrators and managers, and...

Uh, what? Those are tremendous stats! How would a wizard with those have trouble surviving?

Well, I promised I post more, but everyone else already has. Not a lot more to add. So I'll tell you the combat incident that really sealed the fate of the system for my players. The runners had infiltrated a small corporate compound. Things were going well until the dwarf shot an orc with...

It's really early in the morning for me, so I don't have the clarity of thought necessary to evaluate a game system for you (I own the book). I'll give you my first impression: could be a lot of fun, but my group is die-hard d20 and didn't like the system enough to try it past the first...

Encyclopedia Magica Volume 1, 2e Algarth's Embattlement. Store 6 spells in a box, release 2 per round as a free action anytime later. :P

If your monarch is lawful good, might I suggest the King's Guard? It isn't usually dangerous, pays well, and allows you to serve your country.

Grandmaster Krakos suggests to Max Kaladin that he should get some more field experience. Preferably in the clerical wing of the organization Why? Spell choices are excellent. Currently, the standard issue spell choices are: Bane (Disrupt enemy morale) Cure light wounds (Hextorites convert...

Elder Basilisk: The other duty you have in the area is winning the good will of the people. For the moment, the head boss' (you don't know exactly who he is) way of achieving that is passing out discount healing and ordering Fists to hunt bandits. You have a few Fists of Hextor at your...

Pretend you're Raghla Gyaria. You've recieved this letter from your superior; what would you do next? Figured it could be fun to have a mind other than my own working on this for once. For reference: A Fist of Hextor is composed of 1 3rd level mounted priest, 2 2nd level mounted fighters...

Eh, you want free rules on this stuff? By tomorrow? Ha ha, yeah right. The best I can do for you is to come up with some fast and light d20 rules for you. Pretty much all you can do is assign HP, Hardness, Maneuverability, AC and Speed to each kind of ship, then give them weapons with range...

Ok, this might be stupid, but I'm going to take a crack at this. Let's make this algebraic: A two weapon fighter gets two attacks, attack A and attack B. Further, for the base, we'll assume that this person lacks profiency in both Two Weapon Fighting and the pair of short swords he's wielding...

I wouldn't mind playing in such a game, but lack the books to DM it. The time periods there sound fun.

The barbarians are

Whee! I'm unique! This isn't really much like me though. I am a A Electrum Dragon! Hey, I took the http://dragonhame.com online Inner Dragon quiz and found out I am a Electrum Dragon on the inside. In the war between good and evil, Electrum Dragons take the side of the noble and good...

I understand these rules. I'll post what should be a clear and concise version below: edit: Read it if you want, but Pbartender's link is better. Medium sized creatures use Medium sized weaponry. Humans, being Medium, wield Medium daggers, Medium longswords, and Medium greatswords. The...

Err... has anyone proved that Andy Collins wrought this change all by himself yet? Or are you still pumping (bullets, fireballs, bazooka rockets) into that poor messenger boy? Yeeesh, I'm glad I don't have *that* job. :o I still wouldn't mind an explanation from the design team as to why...

Musashi? Are you sure you're talking about Musashi? This character sounds more like Sasaki Kojiro. :p Kojiro had the giant two handed sword; Musashi pioneered two weapon fighting. And Musashi was sneaky. If you want a non-sneaky, two-handed wielding Musashi, you don't want Musashi, you want...
