Additional session report addendum to Session Report 10: Sundered Empires Session Report 10a-The Letter M Blackburn: A Writer's Journey

Here are links to the Actual Play reports of my Adventurer Conqueror King game that I've been running for awhile now. Characters started at first and the highest anyone has made it to is 3rd so far. It's an old school sandbox style game, started with B2 and the Caves of Chaos (as you do!). I've...

no problem. I'm always interested in unarmored varients, simply because those types of fighters have always appealed to me over the more heavy tank style character. That being said... I realize that in a general campaign with both Fighters and Duelists side by side, the Duelists' role would...

Interesting take on the character archtype. Certainly better than the Swashbuckler. However, it suffers from the same flaw that the Swashbuckler does: no real defensive ability. In order to survive, especially at higher levels, without access to heavy armor (which the DnD mechanics are built...

Certainly My campaign world is a very grey one. I base plots and conflict along a Chaos versus Law axis rather than Good Versus Evil (going so far as completely removing that aspect of alignment from the game). Racism and sexism are big elements of my world. Different cultures face it in...

Because...? Generally, individual XP awards are bad for the game. Would you care to explain?

I looooooove the new XP system that does away with the lvl vs. CR chart of old. That has always been a part of 3.x that I loathed. Anyway, it got me thinking about the old 2nd ed class specific ways to earn xp. You know, wizards got bonus xp for casting spells, so did clerics, fighters got...

Considering the feat itself references magic missile and says you roll 1d4+1 and multiply the result by 1.5, I think it would be fairly obvious how it should be handled. A variable, numeric amount is not the same as being told to multiply the total from dice. Ergo, the variable numeric result...

Not when you have sacks weighing 2 pounds, no, weapons aren't the only things. I've always assumed it was the unwritten 'bulk' factor, but its still obnoxious.

Stacking I don't think I would wholesale disallow it. The Unfettered's Parry applies versus a single target, while the Duelist's advantage is all the time (like the Bladesinger). As such, I don't think it would be that problematic to allow it to work together. Also, the abilities one gets as...

Class ability. A first level sorcerer gets two bonus cantrip slots. A third level sorcerer gets two bonus 1st-level spell slots. A fifth level sorcerer gets two bonus 2nd-level spell slots. And so on. don't know if you can avoid it, but personally, I don't think 2 extra cantrips at first level...

Gez, Interesting system. I am very curious to see more. Specifically, I am interested in learning more about the complex/simple division you have decided on for divine and arcane spells. I assume you are using the 3.X spell lists rather then simply using the AU spell list. As such, I am...

Do you have a place where someone could look at that article now? And have you updated your system to 3.5?

As has probably been pointed out on the other thread, very similar idea to what Monte did with AU. And in my opinion, Mind Witchs and Magisters with the psionic template do a dandy job of representing psions.

Perhaps in your definition, but my group prefers high dex, finesse fighters. They might not deal out as much damage as a maxed strength fighter, but then they are not playing the game as a math exercise. They chose dex based fighting, and often two weapon fighting, because it fits the concepts...

Where did I miss it? Ok, I admit, I must have missed something somewhere. Back in my 3.0 days, I never came away with the idea that Metamagic feats could be applied twice. I know everybody and their cousin did it, but I couldn't find any specific reference to allowing the same metamagic feat...

In my campaign, we don't use Devanian weapons. I think they are too cheap, plus for a long time I have been granting a similar benefit to Mithril weapons (which are much more expensive... and because, frankly, making mithril weapons is pointless as written). I've also jacked up the price of...
