    WOIN What are you doing / what hooked you about WOIN?

    Thanks again! I missed these exceptions. In the case where i was looking to apply it, they were trying to use Accelerate (Displace 5, for an extra action) and Speed Flurry (Displace 4, for 2 attacks in one action) to be able to stand still and make 4 attacks a round for 1 minute. Maybe this is...

    WOIN Defense Options

    Good question! I think my original idea was any shield, but it would make more sense to get a bigger bonus for a bigger shield. Maybe add the shield value again (yes I know it is then added 2x, but on the defense, shields are really good!) It might be too much, but that is why I am looking...

    WOIN What are you doing / what hooked you about WOIN?

    I saw it quite a few years ago and got a beta of the rules. I really liked the modular magic system and we had been playing around with Shadowrun for a while and it was similar with the stat+skill d6s. We never got a game going though until recently when I wanted to play with some buddies and...

    WOIN Defense Options

    Thanks for the quick responses! I checked out the stances and they do seem to fall in line with what I have posted above. Though I think the stances are more powerful, they also require an exploit which was something I was trying to avoid. I think a defensively focused fighter would be wise to...

    WOIN Defense Options

    I have a player who likes to have options in melee combat, particularly on the defensive side. From 3.5 and Pathfinder you have options like fighting defensively and full defense, which are intended to allow you to try and be the focus of the enemy and withstand the incoming attacks. I have...

    WOIN O.L.D Help with encounter building

    Since characters basically start at 5MDP, Skeletons and Goblins have a very short shelf life. I was trying to get away from the idea that all these very common minor pests like goblins suddenly go away once the characters hit mid level and find ways to extend their usefulness, but theses are...

    WOIN Phasing Attack Vs. Magical SOAK

    If someone casts a Displace Self on themselves to give them a Phasing Attack and then throws a Fire Orb, does it negate the SOAK from a previously cast Abjure Fire? I reread the description for Phasing Attack, and I don't think that it does, but I wanted to be sure. Also, I don't think it...

    WOIN O.L.D Help with encounter building

    Also, I have found that no matter how many creatures of -2MDP I set against the PCs, they don't seem to pose much threat. For example, my players are MDP 6 and there is 4 of them, but 8 4d6 Goblins, 3 6d6 Orcs, and 1 7d6 Ogre was little more than a speed bump, especially for my clever-clogs...

    Human Explorer Conflict

    Hi, I am looking in my PDF (Version 1.1) and for the Human's Explorer trait is says: But the website lists its as: However, I cannot find where it changed. Since characters can already replenish their LUC pool once per day (and often more with exploits) it seems pretty underwhelming. The...

    O.L.D. Armor

    I really like that there are different armors listed, but I wonder if not enough has been done to differentiate them from each other and give players reasons to pick certain armors. For example: Brigandine, SOAK 5, Cost 70, Type Light, Defense –0, Weight 25, Ineffective — Ringmail, SOAK 5...

    Defense cap for OLD?

    Just for clarity, does that mean that things like the bonus from shields apply after as well?

    WOIN Official Errata Thread

    Quick questions: Reading through the errata document I see that the Armour skill have been added to various careers (which is great since there wasn't a way to get them without ad hoc advancement), but the skill requirements for higher quality gear have been removed. What is the purpose of...

    Ghouls / Gravebound (Undead)

    I appreciate, as always any feedback on these. Just trying to bring some classic (and some not so classic) undead to the setting to give my players a little variety. Thanks!
