    Why is bigger always better?

    This thought process is boiled down into all manners of things, including velocity, mass, force, design, reach, speed of use, strength of the weapon, the type of damage being dealt, etc etc. This creates a large amount of aspects and variables to consider while designing a system. Therefore, to...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Okay, so I think I've done this correctly. My bonuses with skills after world additions: Weapon Skill: 17 + 20 = __37 Strength: 16 + 25 = _____41 Toughness: 16 + 25 =____41 Agility: 16 + 20 = _______36 Willpower: 13 + 15 = _____28 Intelligence: 11 + 20 = ___31 Fellowship: 10 + 15 = ____25...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Okay, that makes sense. I think for now I'd rather him go alone, develop any relationships on the way. I'll be looking forward to seeing the class info, and getting started.

    Inside the mind of a necromancer

    As an aside, it is very interesting to me how many people wished to respond with in character thoughts or dialogue. Most peculiar; I'm assuming those of you who did have either thought of playing or have played as a necromancer. I have spent far too long during the design process of my campaign...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Okay, that makes sense. As opposed to a "rite of manhood" could it be that he graduated from his military academy? That would make sense and be fairly comparable I would surmise. It's not that my expectations are impossibly high, its just that I'm dissatisfied with most of my pen and paper...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Okay, that seems reasonable enough. I think that for the God-Emperor to be incorporated into the religion, it would be seen as being closely related if not necessarily in blood but in spirit to him as to follow the internal path of perfection. For example, being an excellent and capable...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Okay, well I'm thinking that his culture of origin would be a nation that lives on a small mountain near a desert, and are capable and sturdy people. They are a small nation, and therefore do not possess a large warrior base, but train fastidiously and only promote those who show excellent...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Much much better! Obviously, I will drop the 6. Okay, so here we go again: WS: 17 Str: 16 Tough: 16 Agility: 16 Willpower: 13 Intelligence: 11 Perception: 10 Fellowship: 10 BS: 10

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Ok, I will do that. I'm surprised there aren't more players willing to give this game a shot, I'm really stoked about it!

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Okay, well I will roll right in here. Here goes: So after the rolls, I think I will drop the 2. Far less impressive than I was hoping, but I'll deal with it. Arranging the remaining nine will go something like this: Weapon Skill: 18 Strength: 15 Toughness: 12 Agility: 11 Willpower: 11...

    Raging Heroes?

    Well, the logo is also one of those words that looks the same forwards as backwards. Like the Illuminati logo. I forget exactly what they're called... Anyways, the miniatures look pretty cool! If only more companies made more "realistic" miniatures, like for Song of Fire and Ice. I'd love to...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    I understand about the BS applying to all ranged attacks, I suppose that I would want a handful of points so that I'm not completely incapable of chucking a rock or something. So, if I understand this correctly, we get a couple of Advances and then use those advances to specialize in something...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    I picked up a copy of Dark Heresy, and it is very nice indeed. I think that I will go with Feral background, Warrior (guardsman) class. Is there any way that I can simply remove the points from Ballistic Skill and put it into something else? I still haven't looked over everything, but I'm...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Oh alright Doc, I get what you're getting at now. I love the concept of a mega-metro-melting pot for a medieval medley (alliteration only slightly intended.) So as a concept goes, I'm particularly fond of playing a Warrior, focusing on melee attacks. I tend to steer toward more realistic...

    What is YOUR Core?

    Double post. Sorry.

    What is YOUR Core?

    I think the real issue as delericho has said is that the d20 system has evolved multiple subsystems as its evolved, and therefore grown in complexity. Let's think of all of the subsystems within 4e: Attributes: The six fundamental and latent abilities of a character. An easy way to categorize...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Ok, so you would rather us all play the higher level "knights", not the mercs or people underneath them? That is quite alright with me, it is fun coming from some kind of significance before the campaign even starts. What classes are going to be available, or that you would prefer us to have...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Absolutely! That sounds pretty darn cool, if I say so myself. So if that is the case, I think that we should all collaborate to help design the principle culture, nation, planet, and clans/houses we're from. This aspect I love gaming more than most people, so I'd love to invest a good chunk of...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Dr. Z can you explain more about the universe? I've been doing research, and all of the Dark Heresy stuff I can find is 40k. Is this correct? The mixture between science and magic and guns and all of that? Based on your description, it sounded more medieval or archaic, but either way, I'm still...
