Yeah, it does seem a bit curious. I wonder how/why that came about. How is that advantageous?

How many encounters do you want to have? What sort of servants are these creatures likely to use? I'd imagine a couple of ixitxachitl, maybe a lesser fiend or two that they're feeding with their ritual. And, of course, zombie sharks. Because it's a zombie. And a shark. It's a zombie shark. As...

Honestly, I'd go ahead and convert to NTFS anyway. It's really odd to see a FAT32 Vista system, and there's no reason to keep it. NTFS is universally better. Do you have any idea how it ended up like that? Did you put the system together?

Oathkeeper The Rule of Law ____'s Justice Oathbreaker's Bane

Deadlands has wounds for the head, torso, each arm, and each leg. If you take five wound levels to any location, it's destroyed. If your head or torso is destroyed, you're dead. If you hit a location that's already been destroyed, you roll again on the hit location table.

Doubt you'll want to pay the cost for the feat, but there's a feat called Versatile in (iirc) the Oriental Adventures book and the FRCS. It adds two specific skills to your class skill list. Ride and Handle Animal should be all you really need for a horse thief.

Is this a kissing book?

What? I don't buy that - I think living with someone before you're married is a logical progression. It's an important step between a SO and a wife. There are foibles you can learn about someone by living with them that you need to know if you intend to live with someone for the rest of your...

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm going to some time in the next week or so. But you have to remember - the story was written and intended to be a FAIRY TALE. That implies a certain target audience, and an expectation about the simplicity of the tale. Personally, I really like it. It's much...

Yeah, that's how the mechanics for a touch attack work. However, generally it's going to be visible that you didn't just slap him, you spellcast at him. A touch spell creates a visible effect, and it's distinct enough that a spellcaster in the know can probably identify a spell by just that...

I give half-orcs a +2 bonus to Intimidate and Survival, Improved Toughness as a bonus feat, and a +2 AC bonus against rolls to confirm critical hits. Nobody wanted to play one, anyway. *shrugs*

Let me go grab my FS book, so I can see exactly how this goes, so I don't set it up wrong. At character creation, you pick one of each pair to be your primary stat for that pair. That score starts at a 3, the other starts at a 1. The two combined can't add up to more than 10. Most people will...

I'm biased, but I'm glad they're keeping Iroh. He's my favorite character. Considering how things are going at this point, I wouldn't be too surprised if he joined up with Aang and Company. Or, he might stay where he is and try and do some good. The split nature of the narrative has always...

Old-School Deadlands - Generated by 12 draws, discard two, from a 54-card poker deck, resulting a range from 1d4 (Deuce of Clubs) to 5d12 (both jokers in a row). A Joker is a special card, and the suit of the next card drawn indicates the number of d12s you have in that trait. Jokers in the stat...

You'll regret the things you don't do more than the things you do.

Disguise Self is only appearance, though, rather than a real change. Alter Self seems like it would work better for the intended effect. A permanent item of Alter Self, though, opens you up to other mechanical problems. An item that just changes you so that you're physically younger? I wouldn't...

I wouldn't have any problems at all with someone casting Alter Self to appear as a younger version of themselves. IMO, that's well within the normal function of the spell. It's a part of them specifying fine details of their new appearance. A dragon couldn't use Alter Self to appear as a...

I'm so looking forward to the return of this show. Season 2 was such a remarkable improvement over Season 1 in terms of storytelling, I was astonished - and the first season was quite good, too. My only concern is about the voice actor who played Uncle Iroh - he died fairly recently (about a...

My first D&D experience was one of the old Gold Box computer games, Secret of the Silver Blades. After that, I picked up a copy of the D&D Rules Cyclopedia, and started running games for my friends.

It mostly depends on the game. In D&D, I tend to have one over-arcing campaign plot, with PCs having subplots that tie into the main plot. Not all PCs have these, though - some PCs don't want to bother with having subplots of their own, I've noticed, so I don't try and force these things on...
