I can't believe how long this is dragon on...

My apologies. I've just been very busy and barely able to keep up with the game I'm running. :) I'll post IC tonight or tomorrow morning.

Good news for Cutter: I've downloaded and skimmed the thing, and the writing/editing on it is just fine. Fear not! Your English sensibilities will not be too badly offended. :)

Yes, I've written plenty of C++ that probably doesn't qualify as object oriented. :D

This approach is getting more common, which I think is good. There are class level progressions for various undead creatures in Libris Mortis, for example. Thanks.

This is something I've been wondering about as well. How do you handle it if a PC acquires a template with a LA? Say he becomes a werebear. That's a +3 LA. Do you just treat him as if he's 3 levels higher and calculate experience appropriately? The rest of the party will (kind of) catch up...

That's gotta be uncomfortable. :) Seriously, though, do you really think over 90% of existing code is still in non-OO languages like COBOL, or are you including code in languages that ostensibly support OOP but the code just isn't? I sometimes hear things like this, but I never actually see...

Close but not quite dead-on. :) A class is basically a bunch of code that combines data with operations for working on that data. In your example, the LeftHand class might have properties (data) like width, weight, location, etc. It would also have methods (operations) like grasp(), point()...

This from the GM who whacked us all in Sunless Citadel. :D Just kidding. That game was actually lots of fun. </hijack>

Readying or loosing a shield is explicitly a Move action. It's in the "Actions in combat" tables.

Clearly you people have no cow-pun-ctions about making puns.

Best. Week. Evar! :)

Ery feints the staggered bugbear out of position, then expertly skewers it through the throat. The guard falls without a sound. Attack rolls 5+15=15, miss, and a 20! Confirmation roll 18, crit! Damage rolls 7+6=13 + 2+6=8 for a total of 21 points of damage. Dead bugbear. Girble continues his...

For those who didn't read the details, this is by Howard Tayler, who does the webcomic Schlock Mercenary: http://www.schlockmercenary.com/ This drawing has nothing to do with Schlock, but it's safe to say that Howard knows what he's doing with a marker. :)

Correct. Just like if you carry/use a crossbow. You can hold it in one hand while you cast.

Nothing as far as I know. Maybe it's not an issue. I was just curious.

So in a fit of madness I just shelled out retail price for Heroes of Battle. It looks good, but I have a question about the war weaver. This class has an ability called Quiescent Weave that basically lets you pre-cast spells on yourself and several allies. The spells are held in the "weave"...

And this, of course, is exactly what I use my sig for. :) It's not for anybody else's benefit, it's just a convenient place for me to keep links in case (as happened once) all the subscriptions vanish. When that happened last time I had a heck of a time finding my game threads again, but I...

See. This is what happens when you go completel template crazy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7374733658 (Perfectly safe for work link).

Just a heads-up that I'll be out Christmas shopping all day today, so no game post. Sorry, but 'tis the season to go insane. :) I hope everyone had a good week-end. Action post tomorrow.
