This is a complicated question, but the short answer is that if you give out experience points often enough (at least once every 4 hours) then you shouldn't run into this problem. The point of using the FRCS experience method is to allow lower level characters to catch up with higher level...

You really need to talk this over with your GM since the formulas for item creation are just approximations and it REALLY depends upon what spell you use. They take some judgement to get values that work. For anyone on this board to give you a value, you would have to be way more precise on...

A different method (FR) 3 9th level characters 2 8th level characters 5 characters total = TC CR 1 is (200/TC) * 5 = 200 for the 8th level characters CR 1 is (0/TC) * 5 = 0 for the 9th. CR 5 is 800/TC * 10 = 1600 for the 8th and CR 5 is 675/TC * 10 = 1350 for the 9th. CR 6 is 1200/TC*10 =...

This is the Delay action. You drop your initiative to his and go after him from that point forward. Specified partial action: yes Conditions specified: yes But why bother since you are now giving up initiative to your opponent when you could have just acted earlier. Cannot take a 5' step...

My two cents If this read "... move and attack normally for the duration of the spell under the influence of magic ..." if would solve alot of questions. The ",even" is what cause the confusion in interpreting this spell which is almost word for word the same as Free Action from 2e. IMHO...

I was thinking about how armor works when DR is added to the mix. I noticed the following progression with weapons in a normal D&D setting. The following critical ranges are equivalent (as far as damage delivered is concerned): 20(1) 19(1) 18(1) 17(1) 16(1) 15(1)...

Blind-Fight Or the defender has the Blind-Fight feat and the attacker is using a melee attack.

Back in the day IIRC, each side rolled initiative and then added either their speed factor or their casting time to the die roll. So, if my side rolled a 2 and the other side rolled a 3 and I cast a spell with a casting time of 3, the spell would start on segment 2 and end on segment 5. If...

Re: Re: Take "10" on Defense Rolls Yep, but your value will be different. If your party if fighting mooks what is the point of slowing down combat by adding an extra roll. You are now headed towards GURPS territory here. In GURPS you Block, Dodge, or Parry an attack. Block should be...

"*" does mean to multiply as in 4 times 6 = 24 "^" means to the power of as in 3 to the power of 4 is equal to 3*3*3*3 = 81 I don't understand what you mean by "long-winded especially at higher levels". You will need a calculator with a y^x function. However, it can increase rapidly, for...

Depends upon the type Take a look at the table on MM pg. 11. All of the monsters that I have deconstructed work with from this.

A couple more comments A couple of extra points on this: To create this item works like follows: Buy scroll (25*2*3) = 150 Decipher scroll = Read Magic or Spellcraft check Learn Spell = Takes one day Spellcraft check DC 17. If you are a 3rd level wizard that has perhaps a +10 (6 ranks, +4...

I am not sure how you accomplish this since horses, while Large, only have a 5' reach. Also, a horse can only make one attack if it moves more than 5' since it is restriced by the Full-Attack option on multiple attacks. OTOH, you could hit your opponent at 10' with the lance and then Overrun...

Daylight The only effect that the spell Daylight has on vamps is allowing them to see in the dark.:) I think that 'strongly presented holy symbol' implies a turning attempt.

So perhaps the balance for heavy armor should be an increase in food costs. Ok, trail rations are compact, dry, high-energy foods that weigh 1 lb. Let's say we have 2000 cal in that 1 lb. (hard to do actually, but let's assume). So, to consume 20,000-30,000 cal that's 10-15 lbs of trail...

3E Falchion is fiction The Falchion is more of a straight bladed big knife http://store.museumreplicas.com/cgi-bin/www11650.storefront Here is a picture of one.

I think you might be off by a factor of 6 or more Fact: Carbohydrate and Protein are about 4 Kcal / gram and Fat is about 9 Kcal / gram. If a person ate 20,000 cal of pure lard that would be 2,222.2 grams of lard or 4.9 lbs. So, if we make the assumption that 1/3 fat, 1/3 protein, and 1/3...

DC for spells A first level human can have a Spell Craft check of 4+AB+SF or +6 or +7 (if you set skill focus to be +3). At 10th level this can be 13+AB+SF+MB or +20/21 (plus bonuses due to magic items like talismans). If you set DC = 10 + SL, your range is 10-19. So the question is "Do you...

Take "10" on Defense Rolls I would also suggest that for defense rolls, the defender is assumed to be taking "10". That will reduce the number of rolls to resolve a combat. Only for dramatic duels would you actually have the defender roll the d20.

Look, the only way to decide whether you like a structured class-based/level-based system like 3E vs. a system that does not use either classes or levels it to play in them. As both a player and storyteller, I have found that systems like Hero, Gurps, and Shadowrun offer more FLEXIBILITY than...
