I've seen it in my local game shop for over a week. Just got my copy in the mail on Tuesday. I'm in Los Angeles area. Post what area you are in AND MAYBE SOMEONE NEAR YOU COULD POINT YOU TO A SHOP THAT'S GOT IT. (sorry for the caps, I'm too tired to retype it)

I sent all I had sitting in my PayPal acct. ($10). PirateCat, It would be fun to see a running total of donations. Maybe someone could run some numbers to find out about how much the trip would cost so we have a goal to work toward. Over Christmas, my favorite forum (www.mma.tv) raised over...

I would say no. IMO a shield is truely a device to make it more difficult to be hit. I think the AC bonus is enough. It could be argued that a shield would make it harder to land a good solid blow, though. So I could see it either way. Trying to avoid too much DR though, and making some weapons...

I agree. But then again, I think attacking someone in a suit of Full Plate armor with a dagger would be a very bad tactical decision, and would be reflected in these rules. In this case, the Axe would be the much better choice, in both the game and the real world.

Also, you could just use the streamlined rules I posted above. I'd give the Balor the same DR as I'd give a character with Heavy Armor (DR3), and the Trog has natural armor comparable to Medium Armor (DR2).

I would probably have to decide a DR value to each point of Natural armor. Maybe DR1 for every 3 points on Natural Armor bonus, up to a maximum of DR3. I think in the case of a creature having a Natural armor bonus of +20, the designers should have maybe lowered the natural armor bonus a bit...

Just off the top of my head: A caster can cast spells above his current capability. Example: 3rd level wizard. Can cast 1st and 2nd level spells. Wants to cast a 3rd level spell. First and foremost, he must have the spell in his book. He must prepair the spell in advance just like all Wizards...

Also, I should add that I dont want a complicated "realistic" system. IMO this is already adding one more step to the combat resolution. Add too many variables and exceptions and die rolls, combat will become too bogged down. An extremely streamlined system could be: Light Armor provides DR1...

Ok, I still haven't found a system I like for allowing armor to provide Damage Reduction. So, I was thinking to myself that AD&D 1st & 2nd edition had tables where certain types of weapons worked better or worse against certain types of armor. The best example of this was in the 2nd edition...

"To Kill a Mockingbird" Actually, no. I had never read that book or seen the movie (believe it or not). I last heard that name used on a very short lived TV show. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it, but it came out in the summer of 1999, was only on the USA network. Was about...

Some of my recent characters: Vinicious : 4th Wizard (Diviner), Elf. Raised in the "upper-class", he hates to get his hands dirty. Is motivated only by money. Favorite spells - True Strike, Flaming Sphere, and Ray of Frost (with which he finished off the powerful cult boss after a long fought...

I was looking thru the "clearance bin" at my local WOTC Retail store, and happened upon a horde of Chainmail mini's marked at "75% Off". About 2-3 months ago, I had gone there to pick up a couple of Chainmail minis I wanted for my game, notably a "Hammerer". I remember it was priced at $5.99...

cool, thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Can someone point me to where I can get ahold of some of the SMALL round plastic slotted bases, like the ones that came with many of the smaller Chainmail minis? I'm talking about the really small bases that figures like the Abyssal skulker came with.

I would rule that casting the spell right in front of them would tip them off that they were being manipulated. I would give them a bonus to the save, and they will always retain full memory of all events. They might cooperate with you (on a failed save) but if they saw you cast on them right...

I currently use the "character dies when his negative Hp score = Con score, instead of -10 Hp." It has helped a number of times, but there have still been quite a few fatalities between the two campaigns we play in in the last few weeks. Last tuesday 3 out of 7 PC's died in the climactic...

Yup, those are the better words for it. Xylic, your entire post is exactly what I'm talking about. You go down in a fight, you are going to need some time to get back to 100%. Cure wounds spells can only do so much. Read any of the fantasy novels, they always talk about there being limitations...
