Cool, thanks. This is actually reminiscent of the old Prime Directive system (before it went all GURPSy and d20-ish :) ). I like levels of success, so that's cool.

Not only should you do it, but I'm stealing the idea. But I have a question: If they're looting him, I assume he'll be dead/defeated. Might the illusion be breached at some point? Might be a bit of a giveaway.

For those of us unfamiliar with the earlier products, how can we get a sense of the system? Can you give us a quick run-down of the core resolution mechanic?

That sounds like a stealth operation. Any experts? Krikit has a +7 Hide modifier in Gnome mode and +3/+5 Move Silent. Not too stellar, but not bad for no ranks. :)

Lucas lowers the drawbridge as carefully as he can, but the mechanism makes a fair amount of noise. Once the bridge drops into place with a muffled whump of wood on stone, Lucas steps out onto it. From this lower vantage, he peers down. Lucas and a very alert bugbear some 40 feet down on...

You do not add the levels together for anything except spells per day (and spells known where appropriate). So for example, a Wizard2/Zot2 who takes another level in wizard does not get the wizard bonus feat (he's only a wizard3). Also his familiar only gets 3rd-level abilities, etc.

Well I'm here, but pretty much out of ideas. Let's make a decision about what to do in this thread so we can move things along. I suggest we take the bodyguard gig as a first step to finding our feet, then decide how to deal with Lord Mucky-Muck afterward.

Krikit nods and swallows the last of his tea. "Yes, the same one who was guarding us when the ship crashed. He didn't look much the worse for wear."

Ery and Lucas both quickly realize that the ladders on the far side of the shaft allow easy access down if you can get across. They both also see that the lower plaftorm across the way has a very tall "wall" along one side that can actually be lowered as a drawbridge. Ery finds that there is a...

That stuff happens. Hope your co-worker is ok. I'm looking forward to the game.

This is a generous idea, but I think the talent well might be tapped for this kind of project at the moment. There have been several lately. I'll try to come up with something, though.

If you are at the cavern ceiling, you can't see the bugbears down the shaft. They are more than 60 feet away (barely). You don't see any climbing up or anything. The fortified platform has two corpses on it, but is otherwise empty. All this dealing with spiders and their ilk easily brings to...

That WotC would release all their books as OGC.

Cool. I think the generic names are fine, and if I were to use this class I'd just change them to the appropriate flavor for my game. For example, I could see making this a "nature boy" class and giving them "Hawk Strike" and, for want of a better name, "Cat's Grace" instead of Spirit Attack...

I like it so far. Very cool. I agree with Stalker0 that the bonuses to attack and AC will quickly get out of hand. Let's see. The earliest you could get improved spirit attack is 6th level. Let's assume you have a good but not amazing wisdom: 14. So every single round you could have a +4 to...

We're in the middle of Blackguard's Revenge (one of the Dungeon Crawl Classics series). I'm using quite a few published adventures in this campaign, which is a major departure for me. It's working better than I expected and the players have trouble telling when we're entering and leaving the...

Or they just wanted to play craps.

Ery sees nothing while standing at the top of the slope. In order to see down the shaft proper she'd have to be at the bottom of the slope. The rogue's practiced eye tells her that while she might be able to get down without falling off the edge, the slope is too steep and slippery for most of...

Do you have a deadline for this project? I am trying to come up with something but I don't know if you're still taking ideas. Thanks.

There where will they hold Gen Con?
