Mind you this is based on my experience with Star Wars OCR/RCR, but I wouldn't go much further than increasing the CR's they can "handle" by +1. As the party level gets higher and higher, those frakkin' awesome starting stats won't mean quite as much, although it probably means they won't be as...

Only fought a mind flayer three times in my years of playing D&D, and none of them have been "best"-type encounters, because in a lot of cases it's an either/or type of fight (at least from what I've seen). Either you get the drop on them and wipe the floor with their slimy behinds in the...

Man, this sucks. I may not have seen everything he's been in, but I liked what I saw, particularly Knight's Tale, and was definitely looking forward to his take on the Joker in Dark Knight. You're not the only one. I'm hoping it's accidental death and not suicide. From what I've read on...

Thumbs up. I like the little bits and pieces that we're seeing, as well as the pre-4e material that's been released like Bo9S (my favorite 3.5e supplement by a mile) and SW Saga Edition (which could be seen as 4e beta). Only reason my initial purchasing of 4e material will be limited to the...

Keeping things as simple as possible, I'd suggest either a Fighter or a Rogue, with a mild preference for the Fighter. Neither have spells or too many wierd mechanics to deal with, although Warlock and Warmage are both good suggestions if the new guy's more interested in playing a...

Well, not so much of an issue for me since I only plan on buying the PHB when it comes out. And speaking of future releases, in related news... The Force Unleashed game appears to have been pushed back to August according to Amazon.com. Last time the game got delayed (from Nov '07 to March...

Well, it probably doesn't hurt that the author of the DoD adventures released so far is just as being a Star Wars geek as most of the players. Wouldn't surprise me if Rodney had that site bookmarked and routinely checks it when detailing background fluff, just to keep things consistent :)

Courtesy of Charles Ryan in the thread for the exact same question you posted in General... Looks like it's going to be a trying month for my wallet with all the Star Wars RPG goodness coming out so far this year.

Agreed. One of the stupider things in 3.x was that fact that outside of clerical magic, nobody could do first aid beyond stabilizing a person. That was one thing that pre-SE Star Wars and d20 Modern got right that 3.5e should have incorporated. And if Heal as a skill is now more viable, then...

I fell really sorry for Roy, given the current state of his corpse. But yes, Belkar did deliver the funny. And as for Mr. Scruffy, I'm inclined to paraphrase from MP&THG... "That cat is dynamite!" (especially with being able to keep a high-level caster from doing anything constructive for a...

No problem on the not having played/run the game as of yet. Reason I say Medium on the Katarn armor is that it's consistently described as being larger and bulkier than standard Clone Troooper armor, which is top-of-the-line in the Light category for SECR armor. And that the only other two...

Makes a nice switch from the halfing being tossed into battle.

This is probably the best idea, giving them a small insight bonus relating to the current adventure as they "recall" past exploits that tie into current events, much like Arrgh! Mark! suggested; once the current adventure is over, the bonus fades unless you spend XP (if using a non-level-based...

The Katarn-armor I would peg as being Medium, especially with the Defense bonus it grants (equivalent to ceremonial armor, which is Medium). Might also consider dropping the Shield Rating to 5; good enough to keep a killing shot from being just that, but it won't last forever. Don't forgot...

I think as far as "true power," Belkar was setting up Her Gothiness for the surprise attack. I can't imagine him passing up such a great opportunity to make a joke like that, especially if the "fact" that Shojo took advice from a cat was common knowledge. Other than (hopefully) being Belkar's...

Well, I doubt a ball of fluffy feline fury is going to do much to improve her sunny disposition.

If yesterday's was a builder/set-up, then this was the delivery. I loved how Belkar called Mr. Scruffy the "true power" of Azure City. I wonder if the cat was considered Shojo's co-hort, and thus has more than a few hit dice advancements. Or if it would now be considered Belkar's animal...

For my answers, I used the guideline of "did I play this class more than one session?" Most of 'em don't qualify in that regard. Played a cleric twice, hated it both times, mostly becuase I got shoehorned into being the walking first aid kit. Ended up quitting one campaign after the other...

Nice to see I'm not the only Highlander fan that liked that game. I ran a semester-long campaign back in college with the serial numbers reapplied. Didn't fret too much about the flashback sequences, as none of the PCs were that old. Was quite a bit of fun, and surprisingly more social-based...

I rather like SW Saga's approach of no confirmation roll and double damage (then again, in that system you pretty much only crit on a nat 20). It makes rolling a crit worth something, either to be cheered for by the players when they roll one or feared when the Big Bad rolls one. While the 4e...
