@ Sadrik: I guess this could work. Uncanny defense is a 1st level feature, as is Fighting Style. If you do however, I'd say that you need to offer an optional variant to replace the ability for the barbarian. Something that works for an armored barbarian concept (like a dwarven berserker)...

I don't actually have the original draft. However, it would be easy enough to make something that works for yourself and within the bounds of the Fighter (STR & CON), but it will lack in certain areas. Referring to the Class Design article from the Unearthed Arcana line, you have to think of...

I did consider it. In fact it was my first draft. However, I felt it didn't work thematically or mechanically. Thematically, light fighting is rather different than that of a heavy fighter. For lack of time to better explain, if you've ever seen the Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins version...

I don't want to get into a huge argument. Personally I couldn't care less if anyone uses or doesn't use the variant. I'm sure just as many people feel as you do as there are people who use it and like it for filling a need in their style of game. It simply fills a need for certain genres. /shrug...

@ Sadrik: YMMV, but I just had to state that I disagree with the summary that Rogue and Light Fighter fit the same design space. The skill sets of the two are still quite different. Rogues still have a niche for exploration and being a burst damage dealer that the light fighter does not, and...

What is it about the Mariner fighting style you don't like? I can see it being especially useful for the Corsair. I'm curious. What is being said about the Swashbuckler Rogue path? I think its a fairly decent way to make a more CHA based rogue viable. Tough I have to say I'm not keen on the...

Thanks for that add-on. The mechanics in the new UA are very well suited to the Light Fighter, including the Minotaur if you use them in your game.

EONS stands for?? Not seeing the direct relationship other than it has periods between the letters.

My first thought was simply "ENsider" but would it be too confused with "en5ider"? Another option might be "ONNsider" for Old Now New. Some variants: WONNsider WOiNNsider WOiNsider ENzine ONNzine WONNzine WOiNzine EN Gamer ONN Gamer WONN Gamer WOiN Gamer EN Universal Or going off Morrus's...

@ Celebrim How would you go about trivializing size? Just curious what you mean on how to do the manipulation. On a side note, I actually prefer race to play a fairly decent role in characterization. I am not a huge fan of dwarves just being short humans and elves humans with pointy ears. I...

Bluenose When you say "whatever differences their stats and skills provide them" - this is what I'm kind of looking for. What would the differences be? Effectively the PC version being some Lesser Giant? @ JeffB OpenQuest? Is that the RQ SRD? As for what version, I guess I'd say any. I don't...

Hey, is anyone on here a BRP / RuneQuest player? Can anyone tell me how compatible the RuneQuest line is with its spin off BRP? I am thinking of using BRP and would like to know how much material I can use from RuneQuest. One other question for anyone familiar with BRP. How well does the...

Can you expound? I'm not that familiar with 13th Age.

Cortex Plus is only found in Smallville and Leverage correct? What are the "factors" that make up the dice pool? How different is it from Marvel Heroic Roleplaying (MHR)? OOC - Any experience with Cortex Classic (or Earthdawn since its effectively the same concept but with exploding dice)...

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. I am currently first looking at Core Mechanics, but am interested in other system aspects as well; any favorite mechanic really, though Combat systems and Magic systems are pretty high on the priority list. I am doing research because my group...

Hey all. I know there have been threads about favorite RPGs in the past, but most of what I see are suggestions based on the Game Setting rather than on Core Game Mechanics (for instance I see a lot of "L5R is best, except for its mechanics"). I'd like to get a feel for what what You feel is...

JIMHO, I'd Like to see an option where dragons Can use certain magical equipment. I see no reason a dragon can't use some of the items its managed to acquire over the years.

3 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook Firstly, let me say that I think the edition is well done and may just be able to bridge most editions. The writing is solid and pretty consistent. However, my beef is with the actual production quality of the book. I haven't had ANY game...

Yeah, the bard isn't real "Inspirational". I've seen 1 so far: 1) Bard College of the Akashic Record 2) I'm planning on using the College from HERE. 3) Bard College of the Pied Pipers

OOC have you looked at my Light Fighter variant? It might give you some ideas to work with.
