    I tried the 4 player standard, what a mess...

    assume party win initiative (ogre has rubbish spot) ray of enfeeblement will have much more than 50% hit chance (touch AC 8) ogre down to 17 STR from 21. cleric cast PFE/SoF on fighter well the fighter should go full defence (AC 24-26 range then?), ogre has only +6 to hit now. If the fighter is...

    3 book models vs. 1 book models.

    the rules for grappling should do it! the red book oD&D where perfectly fine and came in a PHB and DMG In fact i like that model as D&D in all its editions stops being fun after 9th or so John

    [Nexus] Quick combat overview

    i think small damage can be ignored in d20 Blacknova 35 we use damage reduction a lot so in one battle with the parties armed shuttle, a couple of enemy light gyrocopters, a medium enemy gun emplacement and some PC's simply on the ground with heavy weapons.... some hits just do absolutely...

    Formian's Advocate: Understanding LN (merged)

    Because there is so much cost in keeping tradition and bueracracey (sp?) id say taxes are highest in a LN society. You are paying more for more visible results. Its a a pity EN rules dont allow 'real world' religious debate cos many such things would be LN (even if they thought themselves LG)...

    [Nexus] Quick combat overview

    I assume as people have hit location and specific armour at specific points, then so would vehicles? so if something is flying and hit in a certain location does it/it may have its flying ability reduced? John aka The NovaLord

    [Nexus] Quick combat overview

    Looks realistic and complete, but alway feel 'sci-fi games' should be more pacey? Cant really tell my quick read through Not sure how it will work if someone is in a vehicle, maybe someone is aerial and they are fighting 6 bad guys? A situation where maybe there is a lot of paperwork. Unless...

    Playtested a warmage? Any good?

    Basically if the answer to a problem is on the warmages spell list, then the problem is overcome very easily In our Liv Gre game the only arcane we have is a bard/warmage. John And whoever said above they cant do much at 1st level is IMO wrong (d4+4 damage with an automatic hit MagMiss cant...

    Doctor Who 2007: 42

    It was an average to good take on an unoriginal/well used plot do we need a "Mister Saxon/Master No Six" reference in every episode? Bad Wolf at least kept us guessing in new series 1. I believe the next episode is quite scarey? John

    The 14th level PCs have slain their thousands, the 18th level PCs their ten thousands

    I agree with nthese points. In our campaign when we where planning the land we worked on some of these principals. It is a dangerou sworld out there even with no rampaging beasties. Anyone who has surved to the age of 45 in a semi-hostile environment is going to be pushing 5-7th level...
