Check out GURPS: Russia for lots of general info that can be used in any real world based campaign. You can probably find it cheap on ebay (around $7.00). I think I have one for sale as well (but not positive, I'll have to dig thru a box or two). ThomasBJJ@Hotmail.com

I thought MM II was just fine. There was enough usefull stuff in there to satisfy me. A few favorites were missing, and a few things i did not like were in there, but that how things work out.

Not a guaranteed buy for me, but I would be interested enough to check it out and read some reviews. If it looked like it was good, and had stuff I might want to use, then I'd buy it.

I have a used (but in great shape) copy for sale for pretty cheap, check the market place boards, or email me at ThomasBJJ@hotmail.com

Can you Aid another while fighting defensively, just taking the -4 to your hit roll to make the assist?

I would propose a FEAT that changes the DC... From - DC 10 + Spell level + Ability modifier To - DC 10 + Caster level + Ability modifier Now, this should have to be applied seperately for each Spell school. The feat could be taken several times, once for each school.

How about a cap of wounds healed by magic equal characters CON score + character level.

I was thinking that it was strange to have characters getting 7 or 8 healing spells cast on them per day, almost everyday. How about making only one healing spell work per character per day. Reguardless of spell level, just ONE spell &/or 1 potion. Clerics wouldn't have to worry about...

Shield spell seems a bit too good for a 1st lvl spell. Has anyone toned it down at all for thier game. I'd like it to still be 1st level, but what should I do with the effect?

Here is what I do: At 4th level, instead of increasing an ability score by 1 point, a PC can instead gain a Feat. I would probably not allow this two times in a row. If you took a Feat at 4th instead of the ability increase, you cannot do it again at 8th, but could do it again at 12th.

Well, burning a feat on something like this seems expensive unless you plan on using all kinds of touch spells at range. I was more trying to gage the spell level of a ranged healing spell. The DotF feat is a good start in figuring out the spell level, but I bet it's +2 due to the possible...

What do you think of this spell? 1st level cleric/druid spell Cures 1 hp of damage Range: Short (effectively a ranged cure minor wounds so that the cleric can stabalize a dying PC from range)) Does 1st level seem right? How about a ranged Cure Light Wounds (1d8+lvl healing)? Would that one...

I don't think the military's martial arts/hand to hand training is anything special. I've seen way too many military trained guys get thier butts handed to them by relative rookies. In all fairness though, military training has way too many aspects to really excel in hand to hand fighting...

mmu1, for a second there I thought maybe have amnesia and wrote that post, because your situation is identical to mine (except there are only 8 of us, not 9.) They are also mostly 4th level, include the same classes you wrote, and one players name is Josh. None the less, I'm also interested...

Most people train in martial arts for a number of reasons. If you had to narrow it down to the ONE most important reason that you are training, what would it be? Me: To defend myself, family and friends.

I have liked most of the FR 3E stuff so far. I do not yet have City of the Spider Queen, or Silver Marches. And AVOID Pool of Radiance Attack on Myth Drannor & Into the Dragon's Lair. FR Campaign Setting had pleanty of great stuff. Spells, feats, PrCs, ... Monsters of Fearun is nice too.

I used an old dull hacksaw blade. Edges were a little messy, but did the job.

I disagree. You cannot get to the level of the best fighter without testing yourself against the best. Experiance is also key. Martial arts is the study of combat. There are alot of people who say they are are martial artists and act like actual fighting and combat is soooo distasteful and...

I have really enjoyed all the issues of Dragon since they switched to 3rd Edition. The last two were no exception. A few suggestions: I'm glad to see there was no fiction in the last issue. Dragon is (IMO) a "Dungeons & Dragons Game" magazine. Stay focused on the GAME. Fantasy fiction is...

Jeremy, I LOVE San Soo, but after all my years of training, came to the conclusion that San Soo was VERY effective against unskilled opponents, but very hard to use against someone with basic boxing or kickboxing skills, or basic grappling skills.
