I agree. Very nice tweak! :) Nice enough to be considered for the next edition I'd say. ;)

Did that "Help me design a rule" thread inspire this? :) Anyway... One of the most glaring occurences of this is when two characters match ability versus ability. Usually, on a given roll, there are multiple modifiers that affect it, BAB, STR, Situation, etc.--so, when it comes down to the...

Another option might be to treat it as a skill. Upon firing, make a skill roll versus a range dependent DC, on a success add BAB to the attack roll. Siege engine fire should be rare enough that the extra die roll won't slow things down--and it should help reflect the unpredictable nature of...

I don't know why you'd want to do this either, but here goes... It seems that BAB is the value that would most likely increase to higher values, so there should be some way of limiting it. You could rule that the maximum useable BAB was equal to the sum of the other applicable modifiers. This...

I've dealt with Titan Games on several occaisions. The service has always been friendly and prompt, and the products have been exactly as advertised. Scott

I recently had this idea for my Basic D&D campaign, but I wasn't sure if it would balance well, Then, I was re-reading my old 4th edition Gamma World, and realized it did basically the same thing. I'll try and use 3e terms for describing my system... When earning an increase to BAB, rather...

I think the Sovereign Stone RPG, and the magical supplement they put out for it (Codex Mysterium, or some such) might provide some good guidelines for developing the type of Magus you're after. molahs ;)

Oh... I think there would be plenty of conflict! ;) Anyway, I've rarely used grappling, pummeling, overbearing, etc. in any of the versions--perhaps if they ever come up with an intuitive and easily remembered system...

EXPLORER BAB: +0 / +1 / +2 / +3 / +3 / +4... GOOD SAVE: +2 / +3 / +3 / +4 / +4... MIDDLE SAVE: +1 / +1 / +2 / +2/ +3... BAD SAVE: +0 / +0 / +1 / +1 / +2 / +2... SPECIAL: Bonus FEAT every level HIT DIE: d10 SKILL POINTS: 4+ / level CLASS SKILLS: Choose 8

Thanks for the info Big G :)

Here's a write-up of an encounter from Jonathan Tweet's website... http://home.attbi.com/~jontweet/jotgamesd20gamma.html

I've always wanted to try this, but never got around to it. The closest I ever came was one adventure where a group of AD&D characters were temporarily transported there. Speaking of mutants and magic... What was the name of that adventure for Paranoia that incorporated magic, orcs, etc...

"Androids look like Pure Strain Humans..." p.22 1st Edition Gamma World One thing I really like about Tweet's treatment, he seems to have re-captured the old 1e wild & wahoo feel--I can't wait to play a game of this :)

Gospog-- You're talking about "Undefined Feats" right? I agree that they are a good idea--as a matter of fact, it would work well for the Ranger's favored enemy as well. I was thinking that the reserve HPs would be the way to go for a heroic campaign though. Have you tried this particular...

Now this is a d20 game I could enjoy! :) I always thought this genre to be one that d20 would do a good job of emulating, and have been hoping they would put something out. Hopefully the response will be positive enough that they can turn it into a full-fledged game. BTW, anyone else think...

Since you brought it up... This crossed my mind the other day when glancing at the sample character sheet for the LotR RPG. Dexterity, or whatever it's called in a given system, tends to be so important that I think it would probably be a good idea to dilute it a bit by splitting it up...

Sounds like it would be great for a Conan-esque campaign. I'm off to check it out today; but, I must say, between the website and your responses, you've all but sold me. Thanks :)

I was wondering if any of you have played it and, if so, what your impressions are. Thanks in advance :) BTW, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about... theriddleofsteel.com It sounds intriguing.

Hackmaster does something very similar, and it gives an extra 20HPs to most characters and monsters by way of compensation. In the spirit of d20, you could instead use CON, CON + STR MOD, or something similar.

Hey, thanks for the heads up! :) I'll go spread the word at some of the Basic and AD&D sites...
