    Starting Ages

    Are there going to be traits tor pre-adolescence or should you just bump the age up into adolescent? If you roll exceptionally low you can end up with a 12 year old PC.

    a few questions

    I've been reading the playtest and I have some questions. So here we go. Does age affect attributes? It's mentioned in the advancement section, but I didn't see rules for it. A table in the advancement section lists a +1 to reputation and luck for the starting tier. Do PCs get that to begin...

    Starting Ages

    I'm pretty sure it's just the total from your traditions.

    Do You Read This News?

    I read the news here most days, and when I miss some I go back and catch up. I consider this to be the go to spot for all my RPG info. I don't have time to find all of this stuff separately.

    What Campaign Settings will you purchase?

    I'm buying the Realms books. If they ever release a Birthright CS again I would definitely get that. I'm not holding my breath, though.

    Rapier is Superior?

    I didn't really think about the implications with multiclassing. That does make a bit more sense. I'm still on the fence as to whether it really needs to be superior, but I see some reason to it now. Thanks for the input.

    Rapier is Superior?

    What exactly makes the rapier a superior weapon? It has the attack bonus and damage of a long sword, but with no special properties. The rapier is a light blade rather than heavy, but that doesn't seem important unless you're a rogue. It wouldn't matter to a rogue if it were just military...

    Magical items

    The quantity in dungeons compared to difficulty in making items led to a lot of side treks in my games. If the PCs can find a monster with what they want, they'll hunt it down and get the item. If they actually needed an item to complete a quest they were on they stop and search for another...

    Burst / blast?

    I'd say they're roundish. They become fire hexes instead of fire cubes, but it is closer to circular. I happen to prefer hexes, anyway. :)

    Mage Hand cantrip

    Unless they throw in rules like the deflect arrows and snatch arrows feats.

    Mage Hand cantrip

    The description is not clear at all on limitations beyond weight and distance. Perhaps this is one of those things they are clarifying in the final stages of the rules. If not it will definitely need clarification, or errata, shortly after release. As for the ability to catch arrows, I don't...

    Points of Light - Help me make sense ?

    Perhaps the village scribe found a tome of lost knowledge. I'm sure there are other explanations for learning without a teacher.

    D&D 4E Any Chance of a 4E Birthright redo?

    I certainly hope for an update. I ran a Birthright campaign til the end of 2e, then another in 3.0, and two in 3.5. If nothing else I hope someone can come up with a good fan conversion.

    Books for ruling nations/organizations?

    I need rules for ruling a domain, any suggestions? I'm looking for a book with rules for PCs running governments or organizations. Maybe something like the old Birthright setting had, but without the whole blood of the gods thing. Fantasy or modern would work. Any suggestions are welcome.

    IH in Birthright

    I haven't completely resolved it. I'm going to use the EoM conversion to IH. Along with the guidelines in Lyceian Arcana for arcane and divine magic, and the cleric class in that. I haven't decided what to do for domain spells. Maybe, base it on ritual magic with holdings counted as a number...

    IH in Birthright

    What is the best way to put Iron Heroes into a D&D setting. I'm going to use Birthright, specifically. The magic is the tricky part. I've seen a conversion of Elements of Magic that I might be able to use, but I don't know if there might be an easier way. Birthright also places a lot of emphasis...

    How many have considered buying EoMR in print?

    I bought EoMR and LA in POD from RPGNow a long time ago. Are the new ones the same quality, or better? BTW, I would definitely buy a combined hardback of the two, if that becomes an option.

    En-Guilds, En-Armory status?

    Very disappointing.
