Because you added your speed factor to your initiative roll. It was quite critical if you were facing an enemy spellcaster. You could cast cone of cold for heavy AOE damage, but which penalized your initiative roll by 5 or you could cast magic missile and have a high change of interrupting...

One of the great things in 1e/2e was weapon speed/factor which was added to the initiative roll. In those days you would decide what to do each round first, resolve initiative adding the weapon speed or spell casting time to the init roll and then do it on your turn. This made for both a...

Good catch, added thanks!

Alright, I got this, slimmed down and chain < brig. You can't add a breastplate/helm to heavy armor. TR=

Ok great, I'll do some more research, thanks!

Good points in your post, appreciate it. I haven't decided on what benefits one armor may give over the other beyond some obvious ones for very light or very heavy armor. I'm guessing cost will be the main thing. Helmet and breastplate probably are good single items, I think I will add. I do...

I don't think I need bronze, it doesn't fit into my high fantasy setting as much. I might add partial items later, like a single breast plate or helm but I'm on the fence as to whether I want that complexity.

Does this look decent, as a generic list of armor sorted by effectiveness (not D&D specific) (weakest) LEATHER STUDDED LEATHER SCALE RING MAIL LAMELLAR BRIGANDINE CHAIN MAIL PLATE MAIL SPLINT FULL PLATE Does anything stand out as being out of order? thanks! Updated 4/21

A copy left license, yes that looks really good, thanks for the idea, I'll make note for later, great.

Oh I think Peri is Peri looks perfect, and the lore matches what I plan on, awesome thanks !

Hillfey is pretty cool, I like that as another option. Red caps too evil, pech maybe too much like gnome.

Seelie seems decent, I'll have to think about it, I don't want my faeries to be silly of course, these are serious fey :-)

Thats a blast from the past, forgot about them. Its a really good choice but I can't use a D&D one due to copyright. Doing a little googling though it does give me a related option (Korrigan - Wikipedia) that is maybe where it came from.

I mean to say I already have elf, dwarf, gnome. Kobold is too D&D for me, looking for a less obvious choice.

So I'm a little over hobbits and halflings, so I would like find a race like "faerie" but I don't want one with wings. There are leprechauns and brownies but I think they are too small, I would like a species that is at least 4' tall? I think faun is a possibility. But what other alternatives...

Sounds right. Art I had to search world wide to find costs I can afford, but not sure where to find freelance writers yet.

So ignoring the cost of the artwork, how much do you think contract writers were paid back in the old days to write a basic 30 page basic/1e module? Now if one were want to find a writer to write you a custom module, where would you find someone and how much would in cost nowadays? While...

I see, so a SRD is the way to go. That makes sense, thanks!

Right, but thats pretty restrictive if you write an adventure, forcing you to share profits, I would prefer to let anyone keep all their profits in order to encourage them to make content. Obviously you wouldn't want to use a creative commons license since then you are giving up the rights to...
