Crunch. For me fluff is the easy part.

Leather/Studded Leather - For the low level sneaky types Chain Shirt - Almost everyone ends up here eventually. Especially when mithral becomes available. Breastsplate - Early level plate mail before you can purchase the real thing and for those few classes that are allowed Medium Armor...

I realise that 5 is kind of an arbitrary number for this discussion. Being off by five is much more of a problem for a 1st level encounter than it is for a 20th level encounter so I will look at this as being off X in BAB; where X is a "large enough number to be a problem but small enough that...

I've seen a lot of characters start out with a longsword, and then a good portion of them stop using a long sword some where along the line. Many of them stop using the longsword because something better comes along before too many feats get put into longsword or because "they want to be...

Would I prefer the stats be accurate? Of course I would prefer that. But the vast majority of the errors I have seen talked about I probobly couldn't care less about. If a skill is off by 1 or 2 I for one won't be worrying about it. Now, I'm not saying that I haven't seen stat blacks talked...

Bah! You're thinking rationally and logically. This is the internet and thinking rationally and logically is not allowed. I'm fairly certain there is a law against it written down somewhere...

One thing that has always (at least almost always) is to figure out how my character got to the location (map-wise) where the campaign starts. Hopefully the DM has at least given you this much. If not you might want to ask your DM where your character will be first appears to try and get your...

Our group uses them all the time. They give fun new abilities that base classes don't get. They help set the PCs apart from the rest of the world (beyond the fact that they are the PCs). From a player stand point they help me build who the PC is before the first session starts. I admit I am...

I like feats. What does that have to do with my focus when we sit down to game? I might focus on a book or number-crunch on nights I'm not gaming. I'll admit to that. But the number crunching I do on a Monday night has nothing to do with my Bard wooing a princess on Saturday afternoon. Not...

I like roleplaying and I like video games. I like Final Fantasy. I like Neverwinter Nights and I like Elder Scrolls. I'm playing Enchanted Arms right now and when I need a break from that I'm playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I like Feats and PrCs and new classes. I'm also the one in our...

While I don't agree with the statement my real question is this is: so? Yeah. It was. I love that setting and would love to see more of it. And here is where you lose me. What made Ravenloft so different in this aspect? Why can't we have Deep Imersion in any other settings? How close to...

*raises hand* I take issue with this one! I like PrCs. I like feats. I like classes. I like taking on a different persona and I like talking to my DM as I try to work my way past guards or not a have a king throw me in prison for the week. How, exactly, does the newest book having feats...

It's not "bad" at all. Some groups may prefer to play without them. The group I play with loves them.

Star Wars Saga Edition Complete Champion Hmmm... That looks to be it for right now.

Another vote for the "What do you like most/least" questions. But also, don't be afraid to ask follow up questions. Was the session they liked most/least too combat heavy? Not combat heavy enough? Did they like it because the featured critter was different? Did they love/hate the featured...

Angry? Sure. It's okay to be angry. But be civil about it. I like Strawberry Rhubarb pie. I don't like Chocolate Cake. (Blasphamy, I know. If anyone wants my piece of the Chocolate Cake - first come, first serve!) I may be angry that my only option is Chocolate Cake. I may even let the...

Add another huge Thank You to everyone involved in getting this together. I'm not that worried (yet) about the lack of specifics. I'm a computer programmer myself so I fully understand how if a program is 99% complete and working perfectly how that final 1% can cause the entire project to...

Then what would the difference be? If "An Adventure for 500 to 700 point characters" is just "An adventure for 5th to 7th level characters" what's the point of trashing the current system?

Interested? Yes. Will pay for it? Too early to tell.

I like the reduced skills and the auto bonus to the skills. Maybe not THAT condensed of a skill set, but I like the idea. I like the idea of 3xhp at first level. The d4 hp wizards now have a chance to survive being hit. There are a few other changes I am interested in (the "Defense Saves"...
