I have looked around but haven't found any good minis or pics that fit the concept for my PC monk. He is bald, or bald with top-knot, wields a glaive (guisarme actually) and obviously wears no armor. Other than that i'm not terribly picky. Anything fairly close will do for the mini, but the...

My personal favorite fight of all time is the big gunfight in the begining of Desperado. Mixed with the narration of Steve Buscemi's character the scene is priceless. The scene, a little later when they kill the knife thrower is pretty cool as well. From there the movie sputters off. I also...

My name was originally drawn from the literary character of Phaedrus in Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance. He is the mad philosopher alter-ego of the narrator. I was so fond of this name that i tried unsuccessfully to get my wife to let me name first our son, then our...

If you think Eberron made them interesting you should check out Iron Kingdoms by Privateer Press. They eliminated gnomes and halflings and sort of replaced them with a form of goblin with much more flavor. The elves are definitely changed, much more grim and hard-edged and with good reason...

Great old show. Influenced me more than Raiders... I found it for sale here... http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/my-zshop/S9KARQ6ZVCB2N/104-4877483-6967160 - Feydras

I don't work for the company, but I know that Privateer Press is still going strong with the recent publication of their Iron Kingdom's Campaign Guide. Their next release will be the Iron Kingdom's World Guide, probably in the next few months. They have a very slow release schedule, but...

Feature, not bug. You don't get the LG cleric of the god of Justice running around healing the CN rogue. At least not without a chance of nasty consenquences. If the cleric is healing someone of the same alignment on the good/neutral/evil axis then there is usually no chance of a penalty. -...

This is pretty similar to the way the Iron Kingdom's ranger is set up. It works well and seems balanced while still maintaining the distinct flavor of the ranger class. They also added favored terrain bonuses which i think were badly needed. The IK ranger can be found in the Iron Kingdoms...

Where did you get this info? I've always been adding in the weight of clothes as well. I hope you are right. - Feydras

Try posting on the Privateer Press forums under Iron Kingdoms (d20) - General Discussion. Someone will likely help you out. http://forums.privateerpress.com/index.php?showforum=28 - Feydras

Our group has been using a hex map for a couple years now and we all love it. Movement isn't a problem at all, in fact it feels more natural than the grid movement with the funky diagonals. I like the way only 6 figures can surround one figure, it looks and feels more natural than those...

I've been doing something similar in my campaign for quite awhile and it's worked out well. I stole the idea and most of the implementation from some house rules i saw somewhere long ago, sorry to whoever that was that i can't give you credit. Here it is... CLASS FEATURE REMOVAL [Hindrance]...

This is a shameless bump as i want more feedback... What do you all think of the armor as DR suggestion as stated above used with the WP/VP? - Feydras

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. A few more thoughts... Most posters keep referring to instant death with a critical hit. You may be thinking of Star Wars or some other version. The way the rule is written in the UA (read my quote in a message above) you cannot "instant die". It...

Thanks E-B that is exactly what i was looking for. You brought up a couple issues i hadn't considered and highlighted some i had. my comments: 1. I am leery of the overdependence on Con, Fort saves, and the feats Great Fort and Toughness. Your suggestion is interesting, i'll have to consider...

Here is the relevant section of the D&D WP/VP rules... "Wound points cannot drop below 0; any damage that would cause a character's wound point total to drop below 0 simply causes the character to have 0 wound points. At 0 wound points, a character is disabled must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude...

How does any hit mean instant death, unless i read it wrong? I thought that any one hit can not bring you into negative hit points. When brought to zero or below by a hit your hit points become zero and you make a save to stabilize or begin dying. After that you keep saving every round. If...

I want to add the Wound Point / Vitality Point system into my next campaign instead of standard hit points. I've read it over and want to know what people think, if it is more or less dangerous for the PCs than default hit points. For reference i am using the version printed in the Unearthed...

If the problem is that you think the cleric would only feel like a healing battery then you could use the WP/VP hit point system. This vastly decreases the need for the cleric to cast healing out of combat. I myself find playing with clerics annoying. Mostly due to the fact, as Numion pointed...

My 2 1/2 year old loves my old 3.0 MM. A few weeks ago when i was showing him my new WOTC miniatures he pointed to the carrion crawler and said that monster is the one in my book. I was suprised and figured he was referring to some catepillar or monster in one of his story books, but he...
