True, but only by radically changing the design and materials. No-one builds skyscrapers from bricks and breezeblocks. A 12' giant puts twice as much force per unit area through it's legs and knees as a 6' human if it retains human proportions, an 18' giant three times the force.

It may not impress anyone, but it's certainly ruffled some feathers on the forums

What I don't get is why so many people assume that, in a world where magic is real and pervasive, martial characters will behave and have access to the same skill-set as their counterparts in medieval Europe. For me, the feather-falling rogue is tapping into the same magic 'weave' or 'mana' or...

In all seriousness, I'd be delighted if they took a long hard look at the way monsters ran in 4E.

May be worth pointing out for anyone who doesn't know, there is currently a Kickstarter for a Traveller box set - Element Class Cruisers. Even if you're not interested in this, you can back at the £1.00 level then add the core books to your pledge for £30 each, post free. There's also an all in...

One of the subtle things that GURPS does with the 3D6 bell curve is to allow highly skilled attackers to trade 2 points from their attack to reduce an opponents defence (block/parry/dodge) by 1 point. Take for example an attacker with a skill of 20 fighting a defender with a block score of 14...

Don't think we'll be seeing him anytime soon.

The rules compendium is pretty clear (p257) that an unconscious creature can be bloodied. "...a minion....is bloodied only if an attacker reduces the minion to 0 hit points but knocks it unconscious instead of killing it" While this rule refers specifically to minions, it does imply that an...

Here's a link to a map of Nerith. I think it was originally published as part of the Conquest of Nerath boardgame. http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/232585/modules/forum/attachments/Nerath_Map_HighRes_1370075879_1370109981.jpg

This is fantastic. I'll get signed up on my desktop and lend what help I can.

I was reading this article by The Angry DM earlier today (boy, is he angry!....and fair warning, he likes to use the f word a lot, albeit disguised with lots of #$£*'s) which addresses similar issues. He suggests a variation on the Endurance/Fatigue system that's been around since at least the...

It's now at 350k with 25 hours to go, so looks like you'll get that sourcebook.

I've not seen this anywhere on EN World. Hopefully this is the right place to post. Goodman games are producing a deluxe collection of three classic JG modules that may be of interest to OSGamers. They're still a little way short of their target, but there's still 28 days to go. Here's a...

On a meta-point, I'm really liking how modable 5E is proving to be.

Off the top of my head, Undermountain? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ruins_of_Undermountain

A word of caution to anyone based in the UK (or anywhere outside the US I think) thinking of paying $25 for the physical Basic Set. The P&P is over $50! Ouch! The deal on the pdf's is absolutely awesome though!

I don't have the rules to hand, but I'm pretty sure that, in the years following this thread, WotC added feats allowing stats other than strength to be used for MBA's. You still had to use strength the damage bonus from RAW, although many DM's relaxed this in practice.

Apologies if this has been answered down-thread (I haven't got to the end of it yet!). The person who made the comment about paladin/sorcerers not being allowed was referring specifically to a table where multiclassing is banned.
