There is no "+1 to AC for higher ground". You declare you are attacking the mounted foe, and roll to hit. No penalties, no bonuses, no different than attacking any other foe. However, if YOU are mounted and are attacking a foe standing on the ground, you DO get a +1 to hit for "Attacker on...

I have the City Market map, where the reverse is just cobblestone street. Brilliant! Combine that with other Map Packs and that Streets of Shadow map tiles set from WotC and I can set up nearly any city encounter you like. Unfortunately, the only map with a generic green side is OOP, the closest...

They can do well just selling the adventures, campaign setting fluff books, cards and maps. They don't need to get on a "Core Rulebook Treadmill" like 3.X and 4th ed. I agree, at some point you wring every last drop out of a setting, but a new campaign setting or an advancing of the timeline for...

All this talk of Paizo creating a new RPG system completely different from d20/OGL is just silly. They only made PRPG to keep in print a rules system to support their AP/adventures line. Why would they want a different system? What would they have to gain? Next to nothing, with everything to lose.

Except that they have already stated in various public forums that the PRPG is succeeding beyond their wildest imaginings and they have already hired more staff to expand this year.... I'm not saying they will have a corporate compound or anything, but they are growing.

Might I suggest The Ram?

I own every copy every released of Gamma World, so I should be the target audience for this release. But I don't think I'm getting it. About 25% of this is due to the force-feeding CCG-aspects onto a tabletop RPG (really?), but the other 75% is the notion that Gamma World is supposed to be...

I can't believe I read the whole thing..... After having done so, I am frankly appalled at some of the responses posted here. A small company is getting it's #1 product essentially ripped off, and when they try to defend their rights, they are called ..."doucebags"??? Really? It seems to me...

I have not played 4th ed, but I have been running a Pathfinder game since it came out (and playing in Pathfinder Society Organized Play), and I can add a little insight to some of the unintended consequences of some PF tweaks. Namely at will cantrips/orisons. Briefly, casters have a low number...

The Stat Classes were a major turn off for me. They were bland, uninspiring, boring, and even the designers didn't think you would want to take one past level 3 or so. I'd rather have 24 different flavors of "generic" core classes to mix and match than to have that wet cardboard forced on me again.

Glad to see I'm not the only fossil around that remembers the days of rec.games.frp.dnd

Boy, was this thread's title ever misleading. I'm feeling somewhat let down!

The Death Star had "TurboLasers" I'm your Turbo LASER!!

I was quite disappointed by the number of ruins on the backs of the tiles as well. They aren't very versitile (they can make one, maybe two layouts), and they just don't look good. I'd have MUCH preferred empty grass spaces, so that you could make tree-lined clearings or more open spaces with...

Never get on the boat? Hell most groups I know won't even go down to the docks! Apparently, no matter what game you are playing, the docks are ONLY used as a place to ambush the party and dump their bodies.

The changes to clerics alone are worht it. They went back to bonus spells for domains, their domain powers changed, they lost automatic proficiency in heavy armor, etc. Many of the combat feats changed (no more "combos" needed, at least not directly), I think the final Paladin and Monk are...

It's a rock to the DM's scissors. It not only stops grapplers (like the dreaded Evard's Black Tentacles) but it stops Web, Entangle, Hold Person/Monster, hindering terrain, even lets you swing that mace underwater with no penalties. It's one of those spells that saves your bacon so many times...

Deadlines you say? You mean like, say, the launch of 4th ed?

Most clerics dowhatnow?? Every cleric I've ever played or seen had Freedom of Movement memorized, and most had it on a scroll/in a wand/in a ring of spell storing ASAP. I'd tend to agree about Sorcerors and Water Breathing, but that's what scrolls and potions are for!

Amazon is the Devil. The Devil is the Prince of Lies. Ergo, Amazon Lies.
