Well, you're the DM of the PC I'd be keeping, so that's probably enough right there. Now it mostly hinges on "Gren" getting out of Eye of the Tiger before Mal starts working full time for the Dragon. Edit: Or would something like this require a proposal as it's not actually covered in the...

*pokes querry with a stick*

It was mentioned to me before, I just missed it the first time. Apologies. As I said before, I don't really think a rule is necessary. If it happens, though, I'd rather it just be removing the annoying misquito bites of tracking ammo than lowering the level of an item. Doesn't look like...

Would it be worth putting up a proposal saying something along the lines of "when a feat or power names an item that could either be a weapon or a group, assume the latter?" I'm really really not fond of the overlap between weapon names and group names. There are at least 3 that I can think...

Sorry to dredge this up from a couple of weeks ago, but my curiosity was piqued while reviewing the issue. What makes "a sling" the specific weapon when "a light blade" is the group? Presumably, were there a weapon that was named "light blade" we wouldn't know if they meant the group or weapon...

marcielle; you do realize this is a five year old thread from a previous incarnation of this forum, right?

I'll take the hit for a reroll for Prime. Bringing myself down to 20. I can post some IC stuff justifying it tomorrow. Posting from my phone.

How does that reroll thing work, anyway? Do we have to announce it before? Edit: Looks like the question is actually relevant, too...

Yeah. He does that when he needs to prove a point. You get used to it.

"I'm not sure about this Sharpe... Do you know what the going rate for White Dragon scales is on the market these days? They'll pay extra if the dragon was young enough that the scales are still supple. He's just a pup, he can't be that impressive."

Can we assume that Sharpe's first roll was the first roll of the challenge then?

1. "At our table..." doesn't apply to pbp. At your table 2-3 encouters takes an afternoon. Here it takes weeks or months. 2. You haven't presented a compelling argument against the houserule other than you don't like houserules. I'm not married to the proposal. I really couldn't care...

So, KD votes NO. If anyone else feels like responding to the above, have at it. I don't think it particularly elicits a response. Running out of ammo and being unable to participate isn't fun. The point of the game is to have fun.

I'm also going to toss out there that I'm in no way married to the above counter-proposal. I play a ranged PC and have no issue dropping 2-3 gold every encounter for ammo. I just figured that, were we to adjust something, it would be better to adjust the rule instead of the item.

Agreed. The only reason I put in the counter proposal was so that a player doesn't get ambushed with ammo tracking by a new DM. I haven't seen ammo tracking since the first PHB came out, so I didn't really think it was a big deal. Have you read the Silmarillion? I think "important" for...

You're not giving an advantage, you're removing a disadvantage. Say I'm a bow ranger. I run out of ammo because I only bought 60 arrows and have used them in the last 6 encounters. We have 3 encounters until we get back to town... My options are to... I dunno twin strike punch people with...

I am cross-posting a counter proposal I put out in LEB. Even at level 2 an endless quiver isn't worth the gold. It may be worth getting rid of the frustration of book-keeping. In a normal game, you'd have to adventure for 15 or so levels to make up the cost with the average ranged weapon...

How about this? Counter-proposal: Remove the line "Ammunition is used up when you fire it from a projectile weapon." from the ammunition description. It seems generally unfair that, when presented with a long campaign/adventure, a ranged weapon user can simply run out of usefulness. I think...

It doesn't happen often, but I'm with KD on this one. Aside from the above, you need to adventure for 15 or 20 levels to even make up the cost in ammunition for a level 2 item. Even that is assuming that every shot eats a unit of ammunition, which it doesn't. Tracking ammo is a dinosaur...

I like option C a good deal. Dragon now with a possibility of Dragon later. My suggestion on later would be to use an adjusted profile for a white dragon. Reduce HP to 20%, remove APs and other solo type stats. It would require a proposal, but that's what we've got the system for, neh?
