Yes, because a wooden stick should have better game statistics than a longsword. Right. A bokken is a training stick used by people to learn how to use a sword. It's just a stick. Give it club stats, let it be similar enough to a katana that weapon focus, specialization, etc in one apply to...

Well, yeah, especially since neither Jango nor Boba were in any way tough. Sam Jackson decapitated Jango without breaking stride, and Boba got taken out by the equivalent of a half-trained padawan. Why clone those wussies? :)

Yes, more numbers make a difference, because due to the nature of lots of D&D combat (close quarters, intermixed ranks for melee), high-level spellcasters will very rarely be able to just open up on a massed group of enemies. Sure, if you see them coming across a clear field, they're done for...

So people playing clerics (already one of the most powerful classes) won't be able to munchkin out their clerics even more by not needing to cure wounds for members of their party. The cleric was greatly powered up in 3.0 to make up for the fact that they are expected to be using a lot of their...

Well, hell, man, you can't just leave that hanging out there. Spoilerize us already! :)

Wolfgang Baur's last product listed on www.pen-paper.net is Beyond Countless Doorways, which he worked on for Malhavoc. Depending on how seriously you need to contact him (like, not just "what was your favorite product you worked on?" :) ), you could try writing to Wolfgang c/o Malhavoc and see...

We have three RPG shops, plus a couple of others in the burbs, plus local comic places that carry games. We have Origins. We have a huge gaming population, apparently. As my buddy who just moved to Kentucky put it, Columbus is gaming heaven.

You know there's already parry in the game, right? You can take a block action to roll your attack versus their attack. You can also have the deflection power, which works pretty much the same but gives you a way to reserve your action for attacking and still use deflection as your parrying.

I tend to do all rolls like this as chance rolls on a d20, where high is good for the player. So a 10% stabilize chance becomes a DC 19 chance check, and a 20% miss chance from concealment becomes a DC 5 chance check to hit. One, it fits with the rest of the mechanics a bit better. Two, I...

Was tonight's episode a rerun? Seems like there's usually a thread by this time. Minor spoilers follow. I stopped watching smallville a while ago. The early seasons were great, but then there was too much melodrama and it bugged me, so I haven't seen a complete episode in a while...

So you're saying 5*something is easy, but 10*something is too hard?

Wait, so which superhero game is the ultimate one?

If Wizards was really clever, they'd make d20SH standalone, based on the modern rules, damn the trade dress and give it a big colorful comic-book cover, and work their butts off to get it distributed to comic stores. Some of the comic stores around here carry RPGs, but not all of them, but if...

Any one or all of them could. The original gadgets didn't specify where the parts for your gadget had to come from, and neither do the new gadgets powers. Really, what you're describing ("utilizing the parts found in 4 SUVs, a construction crane, a laundromat and a satellite dish") is just a...

There's at least three ways to do this with the 2nd edition rules. The Inventing rules from p 131, the Dynamic Powers power (reverse-engineered from Shapeshift), and the alternate power array. The one most like 1e Gadgets is the device power array: 1) Buy a Device with an appropriate power...

It was an example. The point was, if you are spring attacking a target and in the middle of your spring, but before your attack, it ceases to be a valid or worthwhile target, what happens? You don't always know what will happen in the middle of your action. For instance, they enemy ogre mage...

Hasn't Sorkin been off the show for a couple of years now?

Just finished The Colour of Magic by Pratchett, which seemed really familiar all they way through, and I eventually figured out I read it 10 or 15 years ago. I've got The Light Fantastic next on my list. Currently reading Inkspell, and will probably hit the sequel (Inkheart?) soon. Before...

Both of them can attack him, because he's not spring attacking- 45 feet is farther than his speed. If he was 15' from them, that would be the situation you probably meant. He decides before he goes which one he is attacking, because spring attack is done when you are attacking. You decide...
