Unfortunately the little +1 bonus does not exactly confer the true power of a well forged, well balanced blade. A friend of mine had a beautifully balanced sabre... I mean, no recovery recoil, I could fight from the wrist with it... The weapon would deserve something like +1 attack/round and...

I would think that 'Best.Swordmaker.Ever!' counts as expert, not commoner.

The Revised book changed that? Wow, I should like, look at it... I still do all my Star Wars gaming in d6 :-)

The issue you presented is not the only one, by any means. Without access to see invisible (ie, not having prepared it in one form or another), what is a rogue, cleric, fighter and ranger going to do against a flying mage with improved invisibility? I have actually witnessed 12th level parties...

Looking at Monte's stash here: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30110 I felt kind of envious. I have quite a collection of books myself, but most of them are science, fiction, or computer books. This is about the books, not magazines, disks, videos, or scrolls, just...

Fortunes and Winds? Legend of the Five Rings Player's Guide, and the GM's Guide, and all the 'Way of the x' books, to give you a feel for what Black Omega and I talk about on occasion :-p Bearer's of Jade and Way of the Shadowlands are two beautiful (in writing, anyway) books on their own...

How to put this: in order to have a 50:50 chance of defeating superior numbers, one must be x^2 times as 'good' where x is the ratio involved. This 'law of war' was observed by a British captain in World War II, and backed up in future conflicts and verified in computer simulations. (War...

What are you talking about? CR is supposed to give a relative idea of a character's power. If CRs are equal, the characters should be, all things considered, relatively equal in power. If you decide that this isn't applicable, then what is the point of CR? Okay, you acknowledge this. Two...

Keep in mind that, at least for humans, the same part of the brain is used for spatial recognition - it's just that sight is the normal input for it. If someone has been deprived of vision, their 'vision center' gets its input from touch and sound. Obviously not as good, but still an...

I think what Upper Krust is trying to do is flesh out just what the various 'monster classes' mean, without changing them the same way that the ELH changed the BAB progression for core classes. These can provide an ECL template based directly off of HD, and make the ECL judgment much easier on...

For the BAB/EAB progression, it's simple: It adds another unneccessary rule. As for Upper Krust's system, I do think he's going too far, I just add one CR point at 2nd level, and start +2 levels = 1 CR after 18th level. (It's logical, at 2nd level, all classes double hit points, add +5% to...

In order to convert you should have some definition of 'good' and 'evil' I use selflessness and selfishness as my reference - this of course makes a lot of humans rather neutral in this respect, while generally venerating good.

I know my dog dreams. He sometimes goes through periods when he whimpers in his sleep. He also sleeps with his eyes open on occasion. Dreams often have a sort of subliminal kind of symbolism. The subconcious often tries to send us messages using the language it understands. For example, a...

Re: Re: Re: A few salient points... Add to this, many of us whacked the ELH BAB progression deal anyway, right after it came out. I know I'm not the only one who did it, anyway.

((One bump for the original poster's sake))

For what kind of armor? Think about it, this little razor-thin piece of steel is flying at ~180 kph towards it's destination, say about 60 newtons of force for an average blade swung by an average person. This all gets concentrated on a few square millimeters of area at the most, and if the...

One symbol is different from all the others each time.

James Burk demonstrated this in Connections where he (an aged old man) using one hand put a broadsword a full eight inches (20 cm) into a side of meat (with bones). These things were made to kill...

It starts getting interesting, then you activate the teleporter and that's the end of it. Grrr.

I don't think I've played a character with a negative charisma modifier in years... The female character I'm currently playing is a telepath. Kind of forced, there.
