    So, how did the acquisition of metal work in medieval times?

    You need to burn an entire mature oak tree for every 50 lb. of iron. Aaron

    New D20 combat system

    With this rule, it would be better to lose the initiative than to win it. If you go second, you can use your AP to react to your opponent if you wish but when it is your turn, your opponent has no AP left to react to you. The normal d20 system isn't much different; each player gets 2 action...

    Sidewinder: Recoiled vs OGL Wild West

    Does OGL Wild West use the d20 Modern rules? If not then that could be a big determiner as to which one would work best for your game. I like Sidewinder but can't use it as it requires d20 Modern. Aaron

    Shadowdancer's Hide in plain Sight

    Normally that would be the case, but Hiding after a sniping attack is specifically listed as a move action. I wouldn't allow the character to Attack, move and then Hide again on a Snipe attack. Just Attack and Hide in the same spot. Aaron

    X/day mechanic; what's the problem? (Mercule, looking your way...)

    For Rage, I'd suggest that it would be better to have a die roll to determine the after-effect rather than if the Rage works. The character Rages as normal but then must roll a Fort save to see if he becomes fatigued for the rest of the day (rather than just for a few rounds). Adjust the DC for...

    What would be your D&D ability scores? Peer assignment!

    The only stat I know for sure is Strength. I can clean and press 100 pounds (4 reps). I haven't tried 115 which would qualify me for 11, nor can I deadlift 230 lbs. So, I'm stuck at 10. By this time next year I hope to be up to 12. Aaron

    A Textbook Of Unnecessary Setting Design (sorta)

    I kinda take a third view. My gods are very real personal being but they derive their power and influence from their worshipers* The gods are essentially mirrors of the desires of their congregation. For example, the egyptian pharoah Ramses IV (iirc) was killed by a snake. After his death he...

    Ethereal / Readied actions

    This is from the AbilitiesandConditions.rtf file of the SRD: "An ethereal creature can see and hear into the Material Plane in a 60-foot radius, though material objects still block sight and sound. (An ethereal creature can’t see through a material wall, for instance.) An ethereal creature...

    Ethereal / Readied actions

    I wouldn't cause a new suprise round unless the lions were ethereal for a long period of time (10+ minutes). You don't get a new suprise round when your invisible. If the players are smart, they'll run. Ethereal creatues can only see 60 feet away. If everyone double moves, the lions will be...

    Info/opinions on Rune RPG by Atlas Games

    Her'e a link with some links to reviews. I remember reading one of these and it explained the game well. http://www.atlas-games.com/rune_reviews.html I see that there is one on eBay for $5. The game wasn't a big hit so I'd expect copies to be fairly cheap...

    Any adventures feature a cloud giant's cloud castle?

    I noticed that this adventure is also at RPGNow for $5.00. Anyone know if said map is in the PDF? I guess for $5 it's worth taking the chance. Aaron

    Any adventures feature a cloud giant's cloud castle?

    Thanks. I actually have that Dungeon but all I remember where Frost Giants riding mastadons. I'll look again at home. Aaron

    Need an honest opinion about game theme

    "over half"? Man, your way more optomistic than I am. I tried a game with a similar theme but I set it so far in the future that the game broke up before the players figured out what happened. If you just do the typical "cars without drivers" thing, you players will pick up on it and it will...

    Any adventures feature a cloud giant's cloud castle?

    Talking about the old JG module Under the Storm Giant's Castle has got me thinking. Does anyone know of any other modules that feature a floating cloud castle? Preferably one that was ruled over by a good cloud giant. It would be nice if it were 3.5 and currently for sale but OOP stuff is at...

    [i]This[/i] is my problem with alignment

    Since when do barbarians have a strict and rigid code of conduct or a collectivist view? I always thought they were "I better take care of myself because nobody else, not even Crom, will." Aaron

    New class: the athlete. Please comment!

    I guess his role would be like Pamela Anderson's in VIP. There should probably be an AC boosting Exploit. Aaron

    Would you allow this feat?

    Try limiting them to only normal attacks that deal damage, no trips, disarms or stuff like that. This helped me and it eliminated the AoO that draws another AoO. Aaron

    Improved Charge Feat Chain

    I hadn't considered that. I admit that the feat is poorly written. That's the problem with posting house rules. I know what I meant but that doesn't always match what I wrote. One thing I should have put in the description is that continuing the charge takes place instead of your normal cleave...

    Improved Charge Feat Chain

    Supreme Cleave lets you take a 5' step in any direction and then Cleave in any direction (possibly afterwards cleaving multiple creatures). Cleaving Charge only lets you move in one direction and only lets you attack creatures that lie along that direct path and only works after a charge (which...

    Improved Charge Feat Chain

    I wouldn't call this free attack an "attack of opportunity". Just call it a free bonus attack. CLEAVING CHARGE (General, Fighter) Your charge can cut a whole into the enemy. Prerequisites: Base attack +10, Great Cleave Benefit: Whenever you charge an opponent and deal enough damage to make it...
