    Constitution variant: fast healing instead of extra HP?

    I was, of course, being sarcastic. However, the point stands that high-level 3.x characters and monsters have a ridiculous amount of hit points when compared to their previous edition counterparts, which makes the power curve that much steeper; one of my system redesign goals is to flatten the...

    Constitution variant: fast healing instead of extra HP?

    A normal combat encounter usually doesn't last more than 6 rounds. Under normal rules, a 10th level monster with Con +10 effectively starts the encounter with +100 HP. Having Fast Healing 10 will reduce this to about +60 HP in a normal combat encounter. I will obviously have to tone those...

    Constitution variant: fast healing instead of extra HP?

    I agree that it will be theoretically easier to one-shot PCs. I have, on the other hand, tried very hard to scale down monster damage as well, so hopefully that will balance it out. As for Fast Healing while in negatives, let's say (for the sake of balance) that it doesn't work, or works at a...

    Constitution variant: fast healing instead of extra HP?

    To preface this post, I do not have a problem with the concept of HP (such as it is). I am not interested in various wounds/vitality systems. I want to keep HP. However, I am not a fan of huge piles of HP. From my perspective, one of the main reasons for those huge piles of HP in D&D 3.x games...

    Seconded. Especially the part about Janet Montgomery.

    This season's cancellations

    Human Target season 2 was weak. Indira Varma ruined the show.

    Harry Potter d20

    JKR hates role-playing games with a passion and thinks they are satanic... or something. Don't be too terribly surprised if you get a C&D. The site is neat and I like some of the mechanics (as written). I'm just not a big enough HP fan to try it out.

    How many EN Worlders are within 100 miles of you?

    1. Which is more than I expected, considering that out of the hundreds of people I have gamed with I have yet to meet one who also uses ENW.

    Oots 0761

    Not only can he fight, he can fend off Elan (likely a level 12-13 bard) with a dagger. A simple weapon for which Tarquin probably doesn't have focus or specialization. And he just used it to disarm Elan, despite the penalties for weapon size difference and such. He's a damn good fighter.

    Green Lantern Trailer

    This seems more obnoxious than what I've seen of HJ, but I'll admit I'm no GL expert.

    Green Lantern Trailer

    The CGI is pretty horrible, but that may be fixed before release. What cannot be fixed is the fact that Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan is obnoxious. Give me JL Animated John Stewart as Green Lantern over this version of Hal Jordan any day.

    247 sessions, 15 years!

    Congrats! My longest game ran for 5 years/168 sessions, and I was running out of steam by the end, so I can't really imagine running a game that long... it must be awesome!
