    D&D Mass Combat rules question...

    Heroes of Battle does not rely on the Minitures Handbook at all. The system in the Heroes of Battle is not a mass combat system, however it does allow PCs to interact with the battlefield. Some like it, some don't.

    Psionics DC: based on d20 or on flat 10

    D20+mods was the Psionics Handbook (3.0) method. 10+mods is the Expanded Psionics Handbook (3.5) method. Thus the poll is flawed, no vote for me. I use the XPH.

    Jump skill as movement rather than a d20 roll

    Um, Genshou, you do know that that quote is from the 3.0 SRD (I think), don't you? THe copy of the SRD that I have (taken from WotC's site) does not say that. In fact, other than were it says that distance covered counts as movement, the only mention of distance is in the charts showing the DCs.

    Deepwood sniper conversion?

    Peerless Archer from Silver Marches, but that might be 3.0. Otherwise, none I can think of.

    How to speak Orcish.

    So what would Hockey be?

    Faerunian Warforged?

    That would be Triobrand the Metal Mage, apprentice to Halaster the Mad. See the new Waterdeep book for stats.

    Why no DMG2 at Amazon?

    I heard that WotC doesn't release the books to Amazon (and maybe others) as soon as they release to the LGS so that Amazon won't completely undercut the LGS system.

    City Creation Help

    I think WotC may have used that book as a reference during the writing of the DMG II. There is a section that breaks down the population of a city of 10,000 people into very similar occupations. Hmmmmmmm.:lol:

    Do double reach weapons exist?

    The article is called "The Point of Pole Arms" by Ari Marmell (the undead mouse RULES!) It adds more polearms to the rules and discusses the ones in the core rules. The Awl Pike is listed as Exotic, 1d8 damage, x3 critical, 10 lb weight 15 ft reach. The article lists 31 polearms (including...

    The Lance

    This may be a hijack, but . . . I have never had a player use a lance in 3e (hell, they use horses to get to the fight, then jump off), so I'm going to ask a question that may seem stupid. Lance deals 1d8 damage, x2 during a charge, x3 with Spirited Charge. Lance deals x3 on a critical...

    Favorite 'Advanced' Book

    I haven't even looked at any of them so I can't vote at all.

    Do you Read all the books?

    At least once, yes. Hard to know what is in a book if I don't read said book. Some of them can be a bit dry, but . . . every time I didn't read a book all the way through immediately, and came back to it later, wow, how did I miss that!?!

    DMG II -- In my hands . . .

    I seem to remember hearing that they don't get the books until they have been in stores for a week or so. Not sure if that is true or not.

    DMG II -- In my hands . . .

    Yes, mobs can grapple and they may (but not always) be able to maintain a grapple without penalty while still being able to hurt others. Mobs do 5d6 damage to every creature that is within the same space as the mob, ignoring concealment and cover. Some mobs can trample for 2d6 damage, and all...

    PC Wealth Table formula - help me!

    Thanks folks, I knew that it was something. I know that it can't be calculated exactly, I'm just trying to get something close. Quadratic expressions, hmmm, don't know anything about those. Look out search engines, here I come again! Thanks again, I'll let you know what I come up with.
