    OotS #656 Is Up

    Yeah, V is on a one-way ticket to PTSD-land if he wasn't already there. There's a quote I found interesting, "if the elf dies here it's all been a waste of time." The three fiends need him alive.

    When you're the only one who likes what you like

    Yeah. I imagine that I liked it better than HERO because I am such a RQ fan. Everyone else wanted to play HERO, however. V&V was popular, but we got too many silly heroes and villians.

    Dice and Odds

    That's funny. I would always have chosen two dice over one die with a bonus. However, that's not the same as a re-roll is it? I get the sense that the halfling racial power in 4e is a bit better still.

    Yeah, I really miss running SuperWorld.

    What do you use as the "ultimate" evil?

    There's never just one, otherwise evil would win. The mind flayers are pretty much at the topo of the heap, however. I love my lil' squid-heads.

    Dice and Odds

    I've started a thread with my thoughts for bardic charm in a new thread. Regarding the choice between 1d6+1 vs 2d6 t.h., I presume that scales with the die. If the former is close, then 1d12+2 is close to 2d12 t.h., and 1d20+4 is close to 2d20 t.h.?

    B/X Bard charm

    Here’s the bardic charm skill for my B/X game. Much of the text is adapted from the 1st ed PHB. The singing and playing of a bard has a chance of charming most creatures. Creatures within 40 feet of a bard have a chance of being charmed and entranced by his song. The bard plays for one round...

    B/X Campaign Development

    Are you going to keep the same weapon restrictions for the clerics? Given the feel that you seem to be going for a simple mace and sling may be beneath a proper member of the clergy.

    Dice and Odds

    Drat. That's what I thought but I wan't sure if the break point would be +1 or +2. It forces me towards a simpler solution, which since I'm running b/x is the point I guess. Thanks for the timely response.

    But wait, there's more... Next question. Is the following statement true? Each step in the following progression will give me consistently higher results. 1d6 1d6+1 2d6, take the single higher roll. 2d6, take the total. 6 + 1d6, take the total. The real question likes in the difference...

    OoTS 655

    If it got broken would Xykon kill Redcloak as a penalty for his carelessness?

    OoTS 655

    I think V is going to forcibly join team evil and O-Chuul will make it out of the Cloister where he will meet up with the rest of the team. Xykon might feel O-Chuul bashing the phylactery and erase him right after it gets broken, however.

    B/X Campaign Development

    I've been digging around for a while for where I first found the idea but I can't find it. It might be Grognardia, but I'm not sure. The idea is that you measure encumberance by stones rather than coin weight or pounds. Each significant sized thing has one stone encumberance. Small things are a...

    MM2 art gallery- AWESOME!

    Good picture. After looking at that I decided that I if I have gnomes in my world they aren't going to blink. Ever. Their eyes are open while awake, closed while asleep. Sandstorms or bright flashes might do it, but they just have that constant stare while you talk to them at the inn.

    Inconsistant/Arbitrary rules...

    If I remember correctly, the racial picture in the PHB has half-orcs being the tallest of the lot.

    +X Items: Sacred Cow or Holy Burger?

    I can appreciate the point of view, but having +X is just too convienient a means to convey exceptional sharpness or balance of a weapon. One of the weapons with the most backstory in a past 3.X campaign was a sword that was simply an +5 adamantine bastard sword. It could cut anything. It was...

    I'm also working on an alternate monk / mystic. My theme is "les Yue Fei, more Bannor". After I'm done I hope to have six solid classes that showcase each attribute. Strength : Fighter Intelligence : Magic-User Wisdom : Cleric Dexterity : Thief Constitution : Mystic Charisma : Bard
