As with all othe collectible games, that depends a lot. a big part of the game can be to build a warband and find interesting combinations. If you just want to play between yourselves, you could just get 1 starter and two boosters each (~$50 at normal retail) and maybe ignore the fraction rules...

If you combine that with a low number of magic items for the non-spellcasters, you might not weaken the spellcasters too much, especially for the next few levels. Of course you could also go the brute force route and ban/weaken the most anoying spells. One thing that you did not mention that...

Like it I think it is a good new direction for monster manuals to go. You can look through it and have half finnished adventures jump out at you, while still getting most of the utility of a classic MM. I like most of the "classic" monsters with added class levels. It is probably done best for...

I think we all agree that upping its power would have been an other option to update the OM, but to keep it at its CR it would also have required a much higher number of HP better AC and more effective melee attacks, or it would still have been a paper tiger. I think it works better at the...

I hope you would agree that the new Ogre Mage and the new Rust Monster still are roughly the same creature as before, so keeping the name has some merrit (compatability to older editions, and you don't have to invent new flavour). If you for example compare how dragons were changed between...

Honestly, i see no problem with the mystic theurge ot the yrthak. In my campaing mystic theurges are archpriests of boccob, and I think they fir that role very well. And the Yrthak is not more or less dumb than 90% of the critters in the book. I have no problem with the Pokemount, but I can see...

Yes, but you have to prove that this creates more lame monster than the old "finger in the wind" method. Because the new "monsters by mechanic" method has the advantage that actually there is always a monster that roughly does what you need at about the right CR in the MM, and that is an...

The flair of a critter is all in your head. Ever try showing a beholder to a non-gamer and ask him how moch flair the critter has. Nevertheless we have so many associations that foe us it has flair. And not every new creation can be great. I fully expect a larger number of new monsters to be...

I disagree with the letter and the associated statements. What I find particularily striking about this discussion is the vocal minority that considers everything that has been before as automatically better than a new intelligent design of a monster, even though most monsters in AD&D where...

patience Grasshopper Hi Folks, Thanks for your replies. As I tried to describe in my earlier post, I'm not quite ready to run my own group here, as I have just moved to AA and I am still settling in. I am working on converting Iron Heroes to Dark Sun and my gaming style though, so i expect...

Having recently moved to AA, I am now looking for a gaming group to join, or ppl to start a group with. I am old (33 years) and have gamed well over 20 years, recently mostly d20, but I'm certainly not married to any one system. Right now, I am dreaming of a superhero game (M&M, Hero or maybe...

Not to forget the spell that detected fire. Range : Touch.....
