Problem: Reaching an upper story balcony Strength: Toss the gnome paladin up to the balcony and have him lower a rope. Failure: the gnome makes a SoD, half damage or death. Dexterity: The gnome paladin has his two rapiers twisted into a grappling hook and it is thrown to catch on the balcony...

Sorry, I am working on that. There are still things I would like to work out. However, Talislanta is a free download from their site and there is the chummer 5 free download software that is a Shadowrun character builder. If you look at these you will have a fair idea of what I am working...

In my game I expanded the backgrounds so that they follow a life path. Choosing various backgrounds creates your character. We end up with four basic classes, Divine, Arcane, Mundane, Nonpareil (combinations of the previous three). This is similar to Talislanta and the alternative life path...

In my game the frequency of dragons is dictated by how hard the players search for them. I have also house ruled that only one in twenty dragon eggs will produce a "true dragon" all the rest range in size from ferrets (the majority) to suitable sizes for steeds, (the minority). My players chose...

On occasion, depending on situation and the characters involved.

A question for you lovely experts: if a player wielding a vorpal weapon declares he is using subduing damage would that mean the target is still dead with a broken neck instead of decapitation?

77IM ArKay is a knight, a knighthood that he purchased from a poor noble so he is at the lower rung. It is not the same as if it were given to him because of his birth or having earned it in battle. What it grants him if caught is a trial by nobles rather than commoners and he has the choice of...

77IM Of the shares 388 go to the men and the other 112 go to ArKay. The entire company of adventures, being primary and alternate characters cannot afford this. They have asked me if ArKay might forgo his share in exchange for something else. Do you think it would be too much to ask to be...
