    Massive Damage Threshold models

    Yuan-Ti, you forgot the Black Company Campaign Setting MDT Rules. Most of the MDT sytems presented so far a rather static. Either there is a static MDT or a static save. Both don´t take into account that, as the PC advance in levels they get better saves and deal more damage (and in tun get...

    How would you design the Malazan Campaign Setting?

    I am currently reading the Malazan Books of the Fallen by Steven Erikson (Gardens of the Moon, Deadhouse Gates, Memories of Ice, House of Chains, Midnight Tides). While reading I am thinking about how to design the Mechanics for this Setting (not that I have the time to actually do this -just...

    Help! Ranger with no spells?

    The Black Company Campaign Setting Ranger has no spells. Likewise does the Iron Kindoms Character Guide Ranger not use Spells.

    The New Argonauts

    The name of the Company is Fiery Dragon. Check out the link. Scroll down to:Greek Counters of Doom! Fiery Dragon I have had no time so far to play a short campaign or even a single adventure. My campaign, playtesting and RL takes all the time. But I love the setting...

    [Black Company] How do individuals and squads fight?

    There is no Mass Combat System in Book of Iron Might. Did you mean another Malhavoc Product?

    [Black Company] How do individuals and squads fight?

    Have a look at Cry Havoc by Malhavoc Press. This Mass Combat System was done by Skip Williams. Here you fight as an Individual vs. a group (Squat or others) and vice versa. Cry Havoc is more complicated and needs more work beforehand to stat up the participants of the battle, but it is also much...

    Green Ronin's Advanced Players Manual?

    This is a compact version (or at least 100% comaptible) of the Mass Combat System "Cry Havoc" from Malhavoc Press (both the APG and CH are from Skip Williams). You can download the Spellmaster as a preview from GR GR Spellmaster preview Hmm, I wonder how this overlaps with the Advanced...

    Manyshot & True Strike

    Exactly! One of my players has a love for maximising combat effectiveness (nothing wrong with that, mind you) but this combination or the ones mentioned by vodoo are on the other side.

    Manyshot & True Strike

    So, if I have cast True Strike and use the Manyshot Feat, does the +20 bonus apply to ALL arrows or only to the FIRST? As it is only ONE attack roll, it could well be applied to all arrows. As these are more than one ATTACKS (but with only one roll for them), it could also only be for ONE...

    [Black Company also Conan] Should I buy the Black Company Book?

    Well, the BCCS mass combat system is good if you want a) an easy scaleable system (from PCs vs. enemies to Company scale -small groups up to a few hundred -to army scale b) an easy calculatable and manageable data-wise. c) a fast combat solution. If you are looking for a very detailed mass...

    [Black Company] I have the book...any questions?

    1) Low AC due to the silver standard and expensive and seldom available armor. 2) Almost no healing magic 3) New rules for massive damage, grieveous injuries and critical Hits. I found that a mid level party 5-8th level makes a good starting group (if you Players know the Core Rules that...

    [Black Company] I have the book...any questions?

    Well, if players try the old D&D method of charging straight into the fray they get hacked to pieces. But if you know the novels, the Black Company avoided open battles if possible. They never played "fair" if they didn´t have to. They tricked, deceived or bluffed their enemies. Even better...

    Sharn?

    I do not own the book, but your comments so far remind me of New Crobuzon from China Mievilles superb Novel "Perdido Street Station". If Sharn is like this City I am definitely buying it.
