Unless you're charging the Warlock action points to recover his at will or per day abilities-- as is the case with the spellcasters, if you're using the full TB rules-- then the Warlock should come out ahead on APs compared to the spellcasters. Spellcasters have an AP cost involved if they...

I haven't talked to Adam (Capellan) in a while, but I'm confident he can handle the "basic math" and then some. Personally, I'd start with IH's founding work addressing the economy of actions (via the token system, IIRC). That's a good start to a big problem in tabletop RPGs generally (the...

Ryan, I would be happy to send you a free copy-- drop me an email. Your name is on the inside cover, under Credits, on the basis of your statistical analysis of the SRD-- which work inspired me to carry forward. I am much obliged. I don't know if you would find it to your liking with respect...

How's the campaign going? Still in the planning stages? Would love to hear about it.

You're counting it twice and/or not reading the table correctly (which, admittedly, might be my fault.) Take 300 gp per encounter at level 1. Multiple by 40/3 encounters (the number of encounters it takes to level up). That gets you to 4000 gp. (Treasure Per Encounter) x 40/3 = (Total GP...

No complete list quite yet-- but very close. Again, off the top of my head, custom monsters/NPCs include: A gnoll bounty hunter A race of mushroom folk An intelligent construct A thought-devouring spider A half-orc "Crippler" A race of frog-men A doppelganger bartender An ogre-mage emperor...

Yep, placed the first art order with the illustrator yesterday. Off the top of my head: Succubus, Ettin, Gnoll, Marilith, Lich, Roper, Dryad, Hydra... I'm forgetting a couple-- but there's some good stuff in that list that I am eagerly anticipating from Mr. Purdy.

You forgot Combat Reactions!

You didn't miss it-- I forgot it! Not the end of the world-- folks who know how to reach me thru ben@badaxegames.com will do so; otherwise you can just use the message functionality at Kickstarter.

Of course you realize (and I know you do...) that we're working on a Trailblazer "monster manual." You'll be able to use it "As Is" or use the tips and tricks therein to improve any one of the excellent suggestions above. I'll add my vote for Monsternomicon, Denizens of Avadnu, and Advanced...

If the tanks "should" be able to block, then there "should" be some category of attackers who can get past that. (Layers of counter-strategies.) I'd say overall that the job of "harassing" the enemy caster belongs first to your own casters, then your ranged attackers, and then to highly mobile...

I'll be brief-- I think you are on the right track. What's good for the goose and all... be prepared with opponents who will hold the line against the PCs trying to rush past to enemy wizards. Also look at the Jump skill in TB. You can use a skill exploit to cross threatened squares-- this...

Tanking, huh? By which I assume you mean, "Taking and holding aggro." Bleh. I am not a big fan of 4e's various ways of forcing the DM's hand. It's one thing to say, "If you do this, then I get to do this." Most AoO's fall into that category. But it at least preserves DM choice. On the...

Hey, wow, thanks P-Cat. Just now seeing this thread. We've reached the funding goal-- but we can still accept pledges up to the deadline. Which means if you want in, at any level, now's the time to do it! I've been touting the virtues of the $50 and $75 levels as cool gfits for your gamer...

Looks great! Just watching the demo, it seems to me your "Right Click to Rotate" would be much easier if a right click was just fixed at a 90' clockwise turn, rather than a pull down menu. I can certainly click the right mouse button, three times, faster than I can access a pull down menu to...

I want to expand on that a little bit. We are definitely treating the PDF as a different product entirely from the printed book. For the PDF, because "page count" is not an issue, every single monster will have its own page. One statblock per page. We'll put in extra pages with the monsters...

There's no question we'll make it. So definitely don't sweat that. Do it if you want to move up to the $50 package and sponsor a specific monster. I am not sure how Kickstarter works with regards to increasing your pledge. For legal reasons (seriously, Amazon collects the payments, and they...

Bad Axe Games is trying a little something different with the next release for our Trailblazer RPG. For our "monster manual" book, we've decided to put the fate of the art budget directly into the hands of the customers. Through the Kickstarter patronage site, we set out to raise $2000 for our...
