    Too many Armor Feats?

    Yes it is... I have never had a character with enough feat slots for what I want to do. I Modern, I also do not see it as being realistic. The differences between light and medium armor are very small. The diffeences between light or mdium and heavy are a little more significant. The last...

    [d20 Future/Star Wars] Starships?

    But that is consistant with the general treatment of hit points... there is no loss of effectiveness until the big burly fighter reaches 0, then he drops unconscious to the ground. One Cure Light Wounds later, and he is back in the battle, swinging for full effect again. I haven't had a chance...

    Throat Slit?

    I would definately call this a CDG scenario. Whether or not the razor goes deep enough to open a vein is as much luck at that point as anything else, so the luck of a saving throw is the best way to model it. AS far as the PC's using this against their enemies, they would need to succeed at a...

    Too many Armor Feats?

    Am I alone in the feeling that there are too many armor feats required in d20 Modern? Light, Medium, Heavy, and now d20 Future adds Powered to the mix, each a prerequisite to the rest. I do not recall anything in Heinlein's Starship Troopers that would indicate that the Moble Infantry learned...

    [d20 Future/Star Wars] Starships?

    I disagree. It is easy to have a party in a cruiser and not have the game be even vaguely munchkinesque. Picture a party sent out in a cruiser on a piracy suppression mission... a long way from home and resupply, no allies to call on, local authorities that are likely aiding the pirates, and...

    1 year of 3.5e...How has the conversion gone?

    I have a few grips with some of the changes, and at least one thing that should have been changed and wasn't, but over all I think the change was definately for the better.

    Aberrant and Adventure! D20 books, how are they?

    I like it a lot, and I am about to start running a Pulp game later this month. Regretably, they made a rather serious design flaw and used D&D 3.5 as the base for the rules and not d20 Modern. They used most of the d20M feats, the wealth system, and even incorporated action points into the...

    [d20 Future/Star Wars] Starships?

    I've only read a bit in the store for now, but I looked up this point. A cruiser has a fusion gun battery and a missile battery. If both hit in a round, they will average 24 points of damage, after hardness, versus 4,000 hit points. However, crits are possible. I did not have time to read...

    Dungeon/Dragon magazine subscription?

    Well, I used to have a subscription to Dungeon mag. With the disappearance of the Polyhedron stuff I doubt if I will be buying another issue at any time in the near future. As has been mentioned, the poly section contained stuff for games other than just D&D, this included some complete...

    The Pantheon & Pagan Faiths is out and rocking the reviews!

    My biggest question is about how much work would I need to do to use my own Deities? I homebrew, and I have an extensive pantheon.

    Glassteel for those who miss it.

    I think I missed something... why the XP cost for this spell? As far as the caster of the spell, I see no reason for them to be required to have any sort of craft proficiencies at all. As far as the spell itself is concerned, either the glass is thee or it is not. If it is, the spell can be...

    Blood and Brains: The Zombie Hunter's Guide

    Sounds neat. Is this PDF only or is there a dead tree version available? "Dead tree"... somehow, that seems the most appropriate way for this topic.

    Blood and Fists news

    Regarding the chinese hook swords, I would say they only get a +4, like a sai. However, the hook sword is a medium weapon, versus the small of a sai. (Okay, that's one handed and light, in 3.5 terms :p )

    ATTN Piazo: Dungeon mag and Dragon mag CD-roms & the Tasini v NY Times decision

    To the best of my knowledge, the reason that Dragon or Dungeon bought all the rights to any work submitted was more an issue of copyright of the D&D material that was used to create the submission in the first place. To write anything, you had to use material already copyrighted by TSR. Of...

    Help finding mini store in LA/Bakersfield area

    I know of a store that sells both, but it is Long Beach. It would be easier and quicker to send you to two different stores that I know of in the San Fernando Valley. Just how far are you willing to travel to support your habit?

    Divine power and ghaeles

    Of course, if you want to borrow a concept from Savage Species, you could say that the ghaele has taken 20 levels in the ghaele class...

    Let the speculation begin!

    Strictly speaking, there is a real life Necronomicon. Somewhere around here I have a paperback edition. Don't expect much to happen if you try any of the rituals, I'm not sure if the author had any experience with occult literature.
