Umm, your quote says nothing about having to use the weapon, just that the bonus of the weapon going to AC has to be decided before any attack is made.

Why not just swap and use the masculine versions? Nicholas Aaron, etc. But I'm one for that kind of symmetry :-) You may not be.

Clayah (LE) virgin goddess of the hunt Shouldn't she be CG or something? The 'Wild and Pure' feeling, anyway. Fremnor (CG) god of revelry Should perhaps have a god of patience, or reflection - contemplation. Almac (LN) god of wizardry What opposes or complements magic in your world? Nature...

I've had sessions where I roleplayed my familiar more than my character. Great fun. "Follow the talking bird!" -Neverwind ...hehehe

Ugh, 10,000 XP is a terrible chunk even at 41st level, and it requires knowledge: Arcana which is not a class skill for druids, psions, rangers or paladins (the last two are actually important...) Regardless, this gets house ruled a lot anyway.

Spycraft is more 'James Bond' than Rainbow Six... Rainbow Six is grittier, you want something like Shadowrun (very smoov) or GURPS: Special Ops. Someone suggested keeping just WP, that may work too, but you remove part of the benefit of more combat-oriented characters, keep in mind.

I don't play games where death is a ten-minute break in the action anymore. When death becomes a joke, there's no more suspense. I don't think it is optional, because undead and constructs are destroyed at 0 HP, unlike everyone else. Seven feats, two of them epic, other classes provide...

Of course, it would be more appropriate to look at compound statistics, in which case 99.9999% of all things that have ever lived are dead. :-p Women in Greece had no rights whatsoever. Very, very few made it anywhere. They never got to vote in Athens, anyway.

We have the Greek & Norse legends, and the Etruscans themselves.

Hmmm... L5R really grabbed my imagination like no other setting did, before or since. 7th Sea and Orkworld were neat, but they lacked the internal variety that L5R had, oddly. The d20 conversion seemed a little funny to me (What's L5R without the Five Rings!?!?!) Runequest, Earthdawn, Ars...

It also looks perfectly circular at this angle... Something making a crater that big takes around a teraton (as in a million megatons) blast. Meteors that slam into the Earth at a perfectly perpendicular angle will supposedly create 'little' disturbance. Emphasizing perfect, IIRC the rock...

The book is beautiful, the rules are well thought-out, and fairly simple if you can find them. The organization is terrible, however :-( You can't just sit down and make a character, because many rules are hidden in the details :-( No one table tells you where to get all of your skills from...

I usually have a theme of some sort. I've noticed that charisma tends to be my 3rd or 4th highest stat, normally (when not playing something that would claim it). Strength was my dump stat for all of my current 'spellcasters' - a telepath, a sorcerer, and a wizard. Dex is the dump stat for...

Re: Re: Challenging Challenge Ratings...again

Rome was a republic before Ceaser came to power. Note about kamikaze - there is no 'heaven' in it. kami = spirit/divinity, kaze = wind. Kublai Khan's fleets got sunk twice, IIRC. They stopped trying to invade Japan after that. They certainly wouldn't have called themselves amazons, but...

I just set toughness as granting +1 HP per level. Can only be taken once. dwarf's toughness requires toughness and gives another +1 hp/level Giants toughness -> Dragon's toughness > epic toughness.

The Welsh longbow could fire 700 yards, even. Would be like a composite longbow with the distance ability... I know driving down I-90 I could pick out cars at 2 & 1/2 miles away on a clear day. My sight is pretty terrible, too. The horizon, for those who wanna know (hehe) on a flat plain is...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Teaching French to Upper Krust ;) Well, considering the support rate is going to be 75% farmers in most reasonable campaigns, 10% PC classes certainly isn't out of the question. The 90% farmers statistic would be for a 1200's era or other dark ages campaign. It's not just...

Barbarian 1 / Sorcerer 5 Feats: Run, Endurannce, Extend Spell Charisma: 14 Can cast it enough to last an hour at 10 minutes per shot. That's a run speed of 400... 45 miles an hour. Hustle at 20 miles an hour. Not shabby. Combine with Spider Climb and Jump, he only needs to worry about...

The thing about your system S'Mon is that you need to assign the real powerful people of an area somewhere. Ie, you total up some cities, come up with some values, but the nation as a whole has more than the sum of its parts. Not that it's a big deal :-) For population distribution, my...
