Nope, I already do this. It's the only way to go. Just make sure you're OK with a perpetual work in progress. :) ciaran

Use Autorealm (free) for land-shapes and terrain and Fractal Mapper for placement/embellishment. You can't go wrong :) ciaran

Why don't you roleplay home turf advantage? Ie, the dragon knows of a particularly nasty rock spike it can drop on its attackers, etc. etc. ciaran

That's crap. Morality cannot wholly be DEFINED by the DM, especially when there is a substantial argument against his reasoning. (A) The situation does seem a bit contrived against the paladin. (B) There is no single template for a paladin's behaviour. A "convert or die" action could be...

Ahh. Tom Baxa. He used to do art for Dark Sun. Rock on. ciaran

Only if you don't allow the PCs the capability to own an economy beyond their basic equipment just like you allow your villains to. GP per level can't (and shouldn't) account for non-liquid assets such as kingdoms, crops, etc. If your players haven't invested in a kingdom (or whatever...

... also, that's a pretty cool site. Had to bookmark it. ciaran

Hi. Thanks for doing this; this is very cool. Was there a way to organise them by class and level, say... Wiz 1/2 etc or Brd2/3 or whatever? ciaran

Yeah. When is the next game day? I want to come pimp my game. Aaron never returned my e-mail, so what can I do? :eek: ciaran

I hope you don't have a piss test at your job tomorrow :p cause you'll fail. ciaran

Actually I've been using U_K's system quite effectively for mass combat... It's the ENTIRE reason why I have been looking forward to his releases. And you can't delegate mass combat to "story" when both a player and a DM has sound tactics and a considerable force to pitch against each other. ciaran

I see that you haven't read "Sword and Fist". ;) ciaran

2e Fighter's Handbook, DMG, and PO: Combat & Tactics had excellent rules for this. This is the House Rules forum, after all. ciaran

So say the players DO find a trap. How much of its function can they decipher? Do you guys have any thoughts on this? ciaran

That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Good work! ciaran

Some thoughts: Goblins would not only have ranged weapons (any realistic hunting party does for hunting/defensive purposes). They would, no doubt, have a shaman or two that keep them in touch with their primitive gods. They would have scouting groups behind and around the PCs' location They...

Also, I have noticed that 2e house-rules were mainly done as additions to a system that failed to cover things (like punching and wrestling, for example). 3e house-rules are often changes to something existent in the system as opposed to adding a totally new mechanic. ciaran

My particular observations 3e balance and 2e balance are two different beasts. Neither is completely broken, though 2e IS more problem-prone than 3e. PrCs contribute in a major way to 3e unbalancing issues. 2e's major issue is consistency of rules. Spells are half-explained and rules are...

nevermind me :D ciaran

The defiler dragon. But hey, I've fixed all that :D ciaran
