On that note, without adding back in critical ranges, what makes one weapon different from another? Why use a Scimitar when a Longsword (same cost, same class of weapon, but better damage) is better? Should criticals be put back in? Does it matter at all? This "Class" based damage (in a...

My guess was Heavy Weapons = Two-handed? Also, being a purist, keep the swords out of the Clerics hands, please! :D

Another great idea!

OK, I seriously like this idea!! Removing the critical ranges on the weapons list made many of them obsolete. This system really sums 'em up nicely and leaves the weapon choices a matter of visualization over what has the biggest dice for damage. The summary of armor is excellent as well...

Ideally, I would too. However in this case, I like the idea of it acting as a spell more. Giving the Cleric another ability (on top of access to decent armor & weapons + unlimited spellcasting) could potentially throw out the Class Balance as it stands currently. IMO, of course. :)

You just blew my mind... ;)

That's excellent!!! I did read your post earlier (and was jealous) but I had no idea she was so young. That is just amazing! My oldest is 3, but I've already got him ID'ing monsters for me out of the Monster Manual. So I'm lying down the groundwork for a future roleplayer, I hope ;)

I've been toying with the idea of making it work like a spell, with the "level cost" for HP's being the HD of the undead critter. Namely because I didn't want to give the Cleric another (free) ability. But that's as far as I've gotten. :)

I'd love to give one, but honestly, I'm too big of a fan of the way the system sits now. To many things were shaken up in your version for me to comment objectively. :heh:

I'll bite. I think the way you did races was nothing short of brilliant. Honestly! That was one of my pet peeves of D&D, keeping up with all the race abilities on top of the skill/feat/class abilities. You've created a system that is not only more simple than Basic D&D, but really boils it...

Oh yes, and before I forget, congratulations!

Good call! I've got a TSR bag (can't remember where it came from) that really isn't my favorite dice bag that would work perfect size-wise. Agreed. I'm a big, big fan of old school D&D. I don't mind playing 3.X D&D, just don't want to have anything to do with running it. Believe me, I've...

Very interested. If you are interested, here are the houserules I've been using: 1) Fighters get an additional +1 to hit/damage for each 5 levels 2) Rogues get to add their Subterfuge bonus to successful Sneak Attacks 3) Spell casters are limited to the spells on Darrell's sheet. New spells...

Definitely cool, Greyharp! I was thinking of something similar to that as well, but not a slipcase, but rather something to keep all the documents tidy. Nice work!

That's why it remains in the book no more and I have a free PDF for The Mysterious Tower! Totally worth it.

:lol: That seems to be one of the major themes of this thread!

I agree. A cool gimmick, but I just can't part with me dice!! :lol:

I was thinking about this too. Remember this gem from yesteryear? Good stuff for on-the-spot games!

YES! That's exactly what I was thinking of, right down to the personalized touches on the cover! These are superb, thank you so much, Bytor!! Now I am ready to roll!!! :D
