And the Merits. And what skill specialties are appropriate. And what the skills do, specifically. And what their common bonuses and penalties for their tools kits are. And how much gear they can have. And .... WoD is as inherently crunchy as D&D 3.5. It just has different billing.

I can't help but think of the number of times I've seen a small child (four or less) topple a fit adult man. Usually by accidentally hitting one of the nerve clusters in the leg / knee, but sometimes with ankles or by simply sitting on something that the man was expecting to slide with his...

Having played the game, I can tell you that it is a fun and solid little game. Input: 1) Mechanically, doesn't matter much. Have fun. 2) Quirky but fun. Your version makes it more difficult to determine who won opposed rolls (A got a 6 on his dragon die but only beat the TN by 2; B got a 2...

Right. Smite adds damage. If the damage doesn't exceed or bypass the DR then the foe is unharmed. Good luck.

Yes. You'd be amazed.

And you're still fatigued if sleeping in heavy armor. Endurance only helps with Medium armors. Edit: There are no listed penalties for lack of sleep. There are many benefits for a night's rest, but no listed penalties for skipping it. This is an oft-cited oversight. Many DMs house rule a...

Well, you can start with the Quickstart rules. The wikipedia article isn't bad. One way to think of it is low-level D&D heroes (humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, & trolls) with guns and cyberparts, in a world with dragons, megacorps, and rampant soul-crushing crime. The PCs are "Runners", a class...

Which conversation was then ignored for a page. Somewhere? Sure. In any of the core 3.5 books? No. It's in 4e, and it's an understood part of the 3.x rules (included in a couple of errata documents to help with adjudication, maybe in the DMG 2 somewhere), but it's not actually written into...

You misunderstood. The fact that PCs are wasting actions using Coup de Grace on monsters makes it easier for the other monsters (NPCs, whatever) to kill the PCs. Monsters don't waste time on CdG (barring personal grudges or sacrificial rituals) because they need all their actions to have a...

Overall, a thorough post. Slight expansion: The patient's number of wounds (cannot exceed 3) always applies a penalty on the Healing roll. No matter how much Nerves o' Steel the patient has, or other ways to avoid wound penalties, the severity of the wounds hinders the Healing roll. So a...

You've got it.

Unless the attacker has a specific reason to make sure that particular foe does not survive. Generally, though, CdG is unneeded for fallen foes. They'll probably bleed out, and you can always finish them off after the fight. If the PCs want to waste a turn killing the critter then let them...

No, it is a flaw in the FAQ answer provided. Lumi have heads. Lumi are immune to Vorpal decapitation. Therefore, the FAQ answer is blatantly wrong. Not in a major way, but in a way that is clear and obvious to those who know all the facts. Since the FAQ claims to be one of those that knows...

See my previous post.

It's cool. I actually agree with you on just about every front (ignoring a few piddly details). But I did think it was important (for conceptual space) to mention that there is only one system and that the ships are not FTL. As for game system ... most systems will work. Whether they'll...

I'm going to raise a point that you didn't. I hope you'll see why in a second. I also hope that it helps you improve the game to make it very successful. Something you need to decide right away is how "strict" are you planning to be. Will player choices and actions matter? Can the PCs kill...

DM call. Just because it's an auto-crit doesn't mean that it was a "natural 20". Also, CDG is survivable (barely), where Vorpal is not. Of course, if the target fails .... Their head comes off. How much of a problem that is ... ask someone who knows about Warshapers. Eh, I always saw it as...

It (understandably) neglects the possibility of a head that is already disconnected from the body. Which is the Lumi situation. Not a major flaw, and certainly not one I would trouble them with, except that WotC published the damn race and put Vorpal Immune into their racial features...

And it still isn't completely correct. Silly FAQ, rules are for DMs.
