I dont think skill points are at all an issue. The fact you have 10 less skills to pick from, but the same skill points base means you are more likley to excel at what you do. The 5th level scout in our party is a tumble and jumping monster. Makes him highly mobile and he loves it when the...

I much rather prefer to DM. I think its cos i am a bit of a b*gger to GM too! maybe im a control freak. I thinks its a reason why i can no longer finish any fantasy novel i start....cos i rapidly start thinking 'no the plot should do this' etc. Dunno if their is a shortgae of DM's but where i...

I like alignments. Its just too little words to set as a starting block set in stone (or adamantium in the case of paladins as its very strong). when people wander of about epic in-character discussions about ethics and such makes me wonder why they play D&D and not some more high...

I like to keep necromancey most of all, not overly an enchanter or evoker type. If i fancied blowing things up i be a warmage, and go bard if i fancied enchantment i think. wouldnt drop transmuter either. quite like illusions and divinations. conjurations are goodish and abjurations are ok. JohnD

i kinda like the idea. the higher the party are above 32 points, the more 'action points' ala eberron the DM has too assist his BBEG and even so NSBBMG, maybe even the odd orc gets a +d6 to his saving throw as 'the gods/fate' rebalance things would be interesting to say to the party 'assign...

it is all very campaign specific. if the orc had been brought up to understand that the pink skins are out to destroy all orc kind and surrender is never an option. I think the issue is the orc surrendering in the first place. If he expected to be treat like a prisoner (cos that the way the...

good luck to him. dont think i own any of his malhavoc products, but the boy done well Ptolus from all the freebie bits ive downloaded does look pretty groovey so who knows i may invest. John

Ok we continue with this wed 20th, so i will try and get more feedback from the players. From the GM standpoint when i started printing it out from the pdf there seemed to be a lot of white (space not drug!) and lots of paper for not so much content. This was probably wholley out of your hands...

Hey all, just a few questions for those in the know about the Lord of the Rings RPG from Decipher. I am considering picking it up so figured I may get some info first. First off, how does it play? -really captures the feel. the magic system is very good. charcater creation is very hardwork...

i have a stack of old plastic sci fi minis from blue bird toys (HAVOK). i like to hack bits of them and stick the weapons on more common DDM minis (lizard folk and others who look like sci fi ish). one of the races in out game our sci fi is called 'tyrannolok'. To empathise thier difference i...

in the midle of GMing gangs of freeport. I think its awful but as i have started i i feel committed to finish it for the sake of continuance. cant quite gather way it so bad....but when one player asks 'who, and why, did someone write this thing' does make you worry only ever played the first...

Ill echo whomever mentioned not ending on an overlong session biggest camapign i played in was a monstrous D&D (basic to masters to about 27th level) epic playing 2 or 3 times a week. Final session was very ragnorok/armageddon ish and went on way too long iirc. i think any action bit should be...

Hi Just to chip in. If i were a soldier in forts guarding by a fairly efficient killing machnine like thi sentry gun i bit a bit wary of something with an INT of 3. Id be much happier if it had INT 0 (and i guess for all intents and purposes a Trap)? Making something sentient without the...

agree on the no rogue, scout can do that the front man should be both a damage soak and have very good saves. Id say a favoured soul (maybe a wood elf) with no wisdom but ok cha and physical. could go paldin i guess. on the flanks id have a scout and a warmage as u r sixth level you have a...

Seems to me the GM should have the dwarf live. Party are supposed to be heroes and it looks a poor way to die. would be most miffed if it was me, it dont seem very DnD like. N seems about right if having dredged out the dwarf you did your best to save him. JohnD if the only healer in the...

i think gnomes are very powerful race too, make excellent warmages i find with 20+ core classes from WOTC books the whole concept opf favoured class has gone somewhat. As folk have sort of mentioned an elf (in OD&D) for example was a fighter-wizard type so wizard no longer fits them. the...

The more i use MMIV the more i like it. the stat blocks, enconuter ideas and description based on knowledge allw it too be used very much on the fly. hagve used maybe 10 or so creatures from it in the last 2 months. So much betta than MM 3, which i have very rarely used in all the time ive...

yeah it was rubbish. Was too hyped as the bees knees in brit horror. Thought it was silly and dull and not original at all. Not an entertaining patch on dog soldiers, wilderness or the one set in the WWI trench i can never remember the name of... The original wicker man is ok in its...

in last camapign we played in order to progress the party had to win duels (they were all wizards). used the rules for duelling in complete arcane . probably had 10 or so duels over the course of the campaign. Tended to find they finished within 3 to 6 rounds or so.....can get interesting for...
