That is just the point of what i am making. It states that a common meal is 3 sp. That would mean a common meal according to their culture. Even if we discard the entire modern to pre-industrial problem, it still leaves that something that is common is still 3 times the rate that a laborer makes...

my main problem I really dont care if an average everyday guy would need to spend no money in his wages for months to buy a sword. If that is the value they want to put on a sword in the game, that is fine. Where i think the whole thing breaks down is that a laborer gets 1 sp a day. The poor...

clerics do more than heal Let me explain one of my bad experiences with playing a cleric. I was in a 6th level adventure and was playing a cleric of Tempus. The dictate of a war god would be that you be in the middle of combat IMO, so that is what i did. The other players had an issue with...

I will have to agree with you on that one Samurai. It seems that the dwarfs in any D&D/fantasy type film has become nothing but comic relief. Reading LotR and other books like it, the Dwarfs were a force to be reckoned with. The were very strong, determined, and loyal. As a side bit - where did...

OK, here goes. Let me just preface this by saying i have only read the first 5 pages or. Someone else may chimed in with this. There is a lot of talk about his defeatist attitude and I for one would personally agree with it. I as a DM would look at the storyline and suggest an alternative that...

Back on track OK guys, the question is what would the two half sibling relationship be, not how it happened. Honestly, I would say that however they feel about each other, it would be very strong because of the differences involved. Either they are totally dedicated to each other, or they hate...

There was a character type called a shade, that is probrably a template. Has anyone done a conversion on it yet?

missing something You guys are forgetting that the small races have half the carrying/lifting capacity as a medium sized creature. Sure, it might have the same number value, but the strength is still there.

an idea If you can find a copy of the 1st ed dragonlance book somewhere, the had the white, black, and red robes in it. Each type of magic had a set number of schools that they can choose from. Transmutation was in all of them i think. Considering that now, not all offensive spells are of the...

I need to know the steps that i need to take to swap out a hard drive in a computer that already has stuff on it without losing anything. Is there some special program i need or something. Last time i tried to just swap them, all i got was errors and i could not get windows to boot even in safe...

The most effective combination I have seen was in 1e and was used against the party. It was a 10th level mage who had cast Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Enlarge and then Tensers Transformation from a scroll. 2 attacks per round and 4d4 damage per hit.

I have a slight problem with a pc being told "you can't do that" It is my opinion that anyone can TRY to use most of the feats that are available, even if the haven't taken it. The ones that I refer to of course are the combat feats for the most part and the majority of the skills. Here is my...

I really like GURPS and if given the choice I would play it before any other game. It has a lot more flexibility than any other system that I have ever seen. My only real problem with it is that is was designed for mental character. It is really easy to make a smart character with a lot of high...

spellcasting prodigy can only be taken at 1st level

I am currently playing a preist of Tempus in a game. He uses a battle axe of course. He has power attack, cleave, and combat reflexes for feats. I am looking for a good prestige class, preferable one that will allow him to continue raising his spellcasting level. The prestige class should be...

been there, done that I have actually had a cleric like that. His god required a sacrifice of gold, so he said that one share of gold will go directly to his god or he would not even go with them. He also would refuse to heal others that did not follow his creed or at least something similiar.

Might you be mis-remembering? 1st edition wizards were utterly prohibited from using a sword. They couldn't even use one at a minus; they couldn't use one at all. Correction, a wizard could use a longsword with a -5 non proficiency penalty. The could not take a proficiency in the sword.

wasn't too bad, but could have been better If I had to grade this, I would give it a C+. I have always liked the Hulk as a "superhero". The action scenes were absolutely fantanstic, although a little too late in the movie for my taste. The change in the origin (shrug). It did kinda make the...

the sorcerer is a dud I voted for the sorcerer for 3e. The only class i dislike more is the Psion, but it is not from the core book. I have a number of reasons for this 1) there is nothing particularly unique about the class. The cast the same spells as wizards and even have the same familiar...

palladium need some work I have played a few palladium games such as the FRP, Rifts, and Nightspawn (the previous name for Nightbane). I personally don't care for the front loading of the characters. A wizard can start off with almost 200 PPE (or mana) at first level and then he will recieve...
