Does the full book have more than 2 prestige classes for magical beasts or is that it?

Anyone seen or heard of prestige classes for magical beasts?

WEG SW is a breeze, 'sides, it also means that its more of a game of "you tell me what you'd like the character to do" than "oh, I know this rule allows me to do this" if a lot of folks haven't played WEG SW. :) To a GM, the former is a godsend! yay! Not to mention, the WEG rules are even...

How about WEG StarWars? Its simplier, you don't need all the books and its easier to put together characters quick ['sides I hate classes in SW]. I've got both 1st and 2nd Editions laying around.. but my thought would be a WEG SW set back in the Rebellion timeframe; would be a trip through...

Rolling for random body location per standard attack is probably more work than its worth as you'd need to come up with body location "maps" and the chance to hit each area. A pain, no? Rather, if you simply relegate attempts to hit certain areas to a "called shot" mechanic, then the player...

Re: Re: M&M house rules and campaign ideas? Well they present both of them, but as seperate entities, not together. I choose one over the other simply to not have to roll double the dice per attack. Otherwise, I would too use this. Like? I took all the mounted stuff from D&D obviously...

Here are the house rules I'm going to use.. although I do like the one about the Attack Bonus you mentioned. Starting Skills Ranks A character gets a starting number of Skill Ranks equal to his Intelligence modifier. Option: Critical Success or Failure If a natural 20 is rolled, the player...

Well, thankfully its just an opinionated rant. While I generally tend to side with most of his rants, this one is the exception. There can be fairly simple abstract Called Shot rules, I've been working on such and hope to debut it soon in the group, that keep in line with the "D&D combat...

Depends on the system. If you bought a Dell or Gateway you should be able to do it with no problem. If you bought like an HP or Compaq or such as say Circuit City or Best Buy, etc. you may have some problems. The later use proprietary cases with custom made motherboards. This is especially...

Thats not the only bottle neck Merton. There is quite a bit of spaghetti code in the software too that doesn't help. The Swing GUI toolkit that Sun's Java uses doesn't help matters tremendously either. Otherwise, Java is surprisingly fast especially when doing nothing with GUIs. Speed...

Pretty much agree with what Drakmar said. I have the original MSH somewhere, and have played HERO a couple of times. But M&M, even though I'm not a fan of the D20 rules, does a great job where it feels as if I gets everything right without too many rules. Only cons are mostly easily...

Anyone put together house rules for called shots in M&M? Thanks! P.S. No suggestions that the Power Attack is useful for this.

True, it has a great 'SPLAT' when it gets dropped from 11 stories! Splats as well as Macs and Trash-80s! :) But man, all this M&M talk has me excited to go pick up my copy from the post office tomorrow! Me too... although I will kinda miss rolling all the different dice, was always the fun...

I want to implement something like this, but my version basically has a Reflex save vs DC 20 or you subjected to AoO. It does go on to say if you fail the check by 5 or more, you have lost ahold of your weapon.

MS, only when through the special abilities really... This might be a bit too powerful.. after all "trackless track" is supposed to be just that. Perhaps if you gave a -5 or -10 to the DC. That way a ranger with this ability has a chance at tracking even those who are adept at leaving no...

That depends. As a DM I make people roll spot and listen checks for different things, and its dependent on the character's race too. To me spot and listen are not interchangeable. They represent two different methods of identifying your surroundings. Not to mention, not all classes get both...

So give everyone +2 to their skill points. That way its fair across the board more or less.

Cool, let me know if you have any questions or constructive critisms and comments!

Seems to me one of the easiest ways of zapping the problem with magic is NOT to run a Epic Campaign. You can have "epic" campaigns at low-levels too, say around 5 through 12th.
