    WOIN Infusion spells vs Ajuration

    Yup. Sorry for the late answer ;-) As far as I remember immunities only kick in if you are immune to all damage types you recieve. Armor SOAK ineffectivities works the other way, if your armor is ineffective vs one of multiple damage types you don´t get anything SOAKed; if the armor offers...

    WOIN What does O.L.D., N.O.W., & N.E.W. stand for?

    Ok, I give this a try... O.L.D. - Overkill-loving-dungeoneers! N.O.W. - Nice on weekends N.E.W. - Nuclear enhanced warships?

    Career Lengths

    For my running campaigns I changed the XP-rules a little bit; I´ve been also afraid to split the party - power level as I have some players that use open skill systems to flavour their char and some players that go full progression. Also I dislike the idea to offer an option to flavour a...

    WOIN Old Starship store Generator

    Unfortunately those random generators died with the old website some years ago... I miss them too :cry:

    WOIN Infuse and damage types

    Hi cat, I remember that question from here; so far there hasn't been an official answer. I use infuse/elemental touch to replace the original damage type only, but that's my own rule.

    WOIN List of WOIN size categories?

    The full list of sizes (with size adjustments for enemies) can be found in the monster creation (in OLD it´s pg. 268); a smaller list of sizes (with adjustments for player characters) is at the end of the character creation within derived statistics (OLD pg. 66). Should be at the same places but...

    Awfully Cheerful Engine Let's Look At Magic!

    I agree. It's a very old discussion through many systems (mainly point-buy systems) if "power"-user should get bonus points for being worse with non-magical things. Mainly a discussion of flavor vs math / justice. Before anyone asks - there has been no good answer yet.

    WOIN Sleeping condition - just fluff or true evil?

    Jup, I've seen them - and to be honest I dont like them. About 1/3 of the third condition parts are essentially "if this occurs in a fight you're dead". Curse got nerved (no more auto-crits) but there are several conditions leading into helplessness. It's less confusing than v1.1 conditions...

    WOIN Defense calculation (OLD v1.2)

    There are two caps; the first one - mentioned on pg66 and that pinned thread - caps your base defense, built from attribute + skill + gear. The second cap, MDP x 4, caps defenses including every modifier you can get, be it exploits, special items and so on. As far as I know flat bonuses from...

    WOIN New to O.L.D. and Magic Questions

    MP are MAG x 3 - until a character gets thatone exploit that will add some (2?)d6 mp. Starting chars get up to 8 MAG (elves start with MAG 3 + up to 5 MAG from careers); so maximum character MP should be 24. Additionally there are exploits that mimik magic spells without MP cost. You should...

    WOIN New to O.L.D. and Magic Questions

    Hi there, I don't think I'd enjoy OLD with subtle ans fatique magic; it greatly reduces the mage's capability. Magic starts very weak if you don't play an full mage elf and mp are rare if your players don't get implements at shops. For a spell failure feature I'd combine your idea with a...

    WOIN Sleeping condition - just fluff or true evil?

    Ok, that'd make sense. Both my three PDF's and two prints read "You are asleep, and cannot be woken." Then it proceeds with slowed. Sometimes I want to cry about all those little mistakes in WOIN 1.2; I'm a really big fan but it's hard to play by book. Please, one day you have to do WOIN 1.3...

    WOIN Sleeping condition - just fluff or true evil?

    Hi there, I cannot find anything related to that topic - so here we go. I wonder how much RAW the severe sleeping condition is / should be; "cannot be woken" implies you won't get any help to beat this condition, so that's a big one; monsters like pixies could easily TPK if used that way, and...

    WOIN Firearm and grenade damage in NEW

    As Morrus tried to say - in WOIN it's the character that matters. Tools (like a weapon) help characters doing something better and / or enable them doing things (like shooting people), but equipment stats show only the base. Raw weapon damage is what a child or untrained nobody could do with it...

    WOIN Firearm and grenade damage in NEW

    Most WOIN weaponry is for style and completion; many people do the mistake and read the equipment list as a single shop. If a DM says "your store sells only brand xy" and the party is in the need of fast firepower / simply playing in an era / land / wherever without internet and same day...

    WOIN Old, Now, New - which is most popular?

    WOIN already offers very broad characters; for small groups in organisations I'd recommend a special career construct like the space force character building system (EONS, NEW (spartan gambit)) which offers more skill points via curriculum exploits; additionally I'd add a third action for the...

    WOIN Old, Now, New - which is most popular?

    I dm both NEW and OLD with a touch of Chi from NOW as one of my OLD players doesn't want to read the magic rules (also he plays a martial artist so it's a great synergie anyway). In NEW my party seems to be much weaker for fighting; I think it's all about equipment. I like space fights but...
