    Saga skills?

    I'd been thinking about picking up the Saga book to look at the mechanics for awhile now, and with the 4e announcement I grabbed it at B&N this weekend. I've only glanced at the skills chapter but I can give you a bit of an overview (though IDHMBIFOM). The 5 classes each have a number of...

    IMPORTANT! Is your new Community Supporter Account not working?

    Just checked back after another week or two of absence and my Search menu is back, too. Thanks, PC!

    IMPORTANT! Is your new Community Supporter Account not working?

    My bad... I didn't see this stickied thread when I started my own here. I did find my PayPal receipts and emailed that info to Morrus yesterday, so perhaps he's already working on it, but I thought I'd post here as well since this is the designated thread. Thanks for the help. :)

    Is search disabled? AKA What am I doing wrong?

    First off, I will be the first to admit I've never had a real strong grasp of time passing, so your first guess could easily be correct. Secondly, I'm feeling quite well, thank you. Hopefully you are as well. ;) At the top of my page under Active Subscriptions it says the following: Full...

    Is search disabled? AKA What am I doing wrong?

    I haven't really been on the forums much recently, but check the front page essentially daily. I renewed my already active Community Supporter status for another year a few months ago when Morrus started the $19.99 deal. I was just reading through the Rules forum and came across Nifft's latest...

    Grappling For Beginners: How To Strike, Hold & Throw

    Fair enough, and I certainly don't mind hand-waving some abstract stuff with these rules. As you say, the Core rules do that all over the place in other ways. That said, my mind always tries to visualize the action (hence my cinematic concern ;) ) and I can easily see a Strike being no...

    Grappling For Beginners: How To Strike, Hold & Throw

    Alright, just got back from a couple days of vacation and downloaded the updated version. Morrus, these are very streamlined and easy to use! Thank you! (I sincerely hope my players will approve of them so we can ditch the Core rules for all of the special maneuvers.) A few questions though...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    Thankfully not much to the underlying system now that we've tinkered with Defense. ;) We're still pounding out a few options for the players, but that's always going to be a work in progress. One martial artist has been looking at Hong's IH Dodge & Mobility trees. He & our Dwarven Warmace...

    Ptolus Preorders - Did anyone get their free Player's Guides?

    I got mine a few months ago as well, and my Ptolus book arrived Saturday. Was sitting on the front steps and my wife noticed it at ~9 pm. Shame on me I was upset I didn't see it out there earlier so I could read more before bed that night! ;)

    Hey, COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS - account still not working? Read here!

    Just forwarded receipt email to Piratecat. EDIT: Wasn't sure if it was necessary to point out I'm extending this account. :) Thanks!

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    I've just done a quick & dirty version of the Ritual Warrior as a straight conversion from AE. See below for the file. It is on par with the Magister right at 12.0 Avg CPs/Lvl. I haven't seen one in play, but as soon as AE came out I did add the following feats to the Feat Cheat Sheet: Ability...

    CSA Renewal Extension

    Although I renewed a couple days ago I just read the part today that requested a post here in Meta about extending my CSA. Not sure what information is needed from me. The transaction ID from PayPal ends in YP034642Y My login has been working fine, both before & after the Great Database Crash...

    Player Defense Rolling

    Here's the file some were requesting from me. It's the handout I provided to my players about a year ago when we adopted this DMG/UA variant. Thanks! DrSpunj

    iron heroes and armiger token pool

    That's a good point, and there's obviously a balance to be found there in any given combat, but I think the Armiger would usually be better off not using a Defensive Challenge when facing such a Power Attacking opponent. As you say, -6 Defense for +3 DR just isn't worth it if they can...

    iron heroes and armiger token pool

    I think that's what seems to rub me the wrong way when I read through the classes. There are token classes that are entirely in control of when they get tokens (Archer, Hunter, Weapon Master) while the Berserker & the Armiger are builit the other way; they largely rely on their opponents to...

    iron heroes and armiger token pool

    I thought the IH Errata released shortly after the book removed that, iwatt: Or did the Errata get errata-ed and I missed it? :) ;) As to the OP's question, I too am curious how it plays out. It seems like soaking up 10 points at low levels would take a lot of hits, partly because they...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    No, should I? I've seen the name thrown around but haven't really chased down what they've done with the system. I really like a lot of the Green Ronin material, so I'll try and find the time to check it out. On the flipside, have you checked out Monte & Mearls' Iron Heroes, Z? :)

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    No problem on the updates. As far as a PDF version goes, that's a bit more difficult. I can easily print them as PDFs rather than Word or Excel files, that's not a big deal at all. The problem is the system is really based on being able to tinker with the cost of things, and for that you really...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    As you requested! I've grouped the most current files I have into it's own folder again. I've also attached the Revised CP Worksheet we're just now starting to use after incorporating the Iron Heroes changes I discussed above. I did glance at the Classless System Excel file before zipping it...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    Thank goodness for subscribed threads! :D We're still using this IMC but since discussion died off I have to admit I haven't been updating the files regularly or checking the thread. .xls files are Microsoft Excel files. I know Excel '97 can open them since I've done it at work. Hopefully that...
