Indeed. It's gratifying that others appreciate my foresight. Also, it is a simple, direct system that compares the level of a PC with the level of a target. Since I am going to use a simple d6 + stat mod for skill rolls, I wanted to use the 2d6 + mod for more complex situations where a bell...

Okay, so that means: 3+: 97% 5+: 87% 7+: 58% 9+: 28% 11+: 8% One of the things that I'm messing with is making a bard class for B/X using the AD&D one as a starting point. Rather than have a charm % skill I was thinking of using a variant of the clerical turning subsystem as a charm subsystem...

What are the odds of rolling 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 or higher on 2d6?

It is the eschaton, indeed.

Really? It is certainly interesting; the world has layers of complexity, magic and technology overlap, the characterizations are good. But, it seems that Gene deliberatly made the story difficult to understand.

"Power alone isn't enough."

I agree with you. However, isn't there a chapter in the 3.5 MM or DMG which addresses this very issue? There are very specific rules for adjusting or modifying monsters. The necromancer in question can make 1 HD skeletons or 4 HD skeletons. They can have a cloak of shadows that grants them some...

Thanks guys. This is just what I needed.

I need a mansion for my players to trash this weekend. After the BBEG escaped from my players as I was running Sellswords of Punjar, they have tracked it down to a strange Shar-esque cult in the poor quarter. The cult leader (a certain warlock they had a run-in with earlier) has holed up in an...

That's cute. I was just thinking, "gee, I wonder if..."

Yes, but not really through magic items. There are two axes as I see it, power and commonality. Glorantha, and the RuneQuest system, are very definatly high magic. But, the magic is weak. You have to be a high priest before you get a spell that affects more than one person at a time. Every...

How did you run this? Mostly some description, as a skill challenge, a little of both?

Lists have their uses. 1964 American coinage 90% silver, 10% copper Half-dollar 12.5 g 36 coins / pound Quarter 6.25 g 73 coins / pound Dime 2.5 g 182 coins / pound Your coins are going to be a little smaller than dimes. A little something I derived a while back when I had thoughts of...

Cashier's check. You can refuse payment on a credit card, if you even had one that could handle that kind of purchase. The store I was in had 8 pieces that I could see. But, yes, I think I am agreeing with you in principle. I have them in my campaign, but they are well hidden, only available to...

And, keep in mind that there are stores where you can walk in, select some jewelry, lay down $1-2,000,000 and walk out with that single item. These stores do not have a storefront. Their doors are simple single door glass affairs with a name frosted on it, like "Winslow's on 32nd". Now, these...

It is an advantage but how much of one I'm not sure yet. Given how feat intensive mult-classing is, it's probably a wash. You are only expected to pay for one implement at a time and you are spending a feat for each warlock power. As long as the synergy isn't too much I would expect it is fine...

I used to run exotic components either as consumables or components for enchantment. Having a piece of earthbone (magic coal) allowed you to do +1 per die of damage with a fireball or other fire spell, for example. Or, you could use it to fuel the forge fire for your shiney new flametongue.

Which is the perfect slot for an Unearthed Arcana title.

Dralasites for the win!

I was thinking of something similar where all skills are 1d6 + Attribute bonus, target number 6. This maps fairly well to the open doors roll in AD&D with strength, for example. Elves would get +1 for searching for secret doors, &c. I've been working on an AD&D campaign myself, and I have been...
