Only the fiirst time :D

Sorry for the slash-job on the posts above, but this isn't the place for political commentary. I did however want to keep the thread open if possible, so a quick clean-up seemed like the best solution. For me, I'll always associate Sept 11 with the message boards. I spend most of the day...

Wyrm: Yeah... I'm not sure how complicated that would make things. I might just add a section the the rules assume you are using a large number of relatively low hit-point creatures, and startes to break down otherwise. For cleave, it might be eough to give each force a cleave factor that...

Heh... it's not like anyone can stop me from changing their advancement to by class. Besides, I need something to use those cool prestige classes on :) The class toolkit sounds neat. I really liked how you handled the mechanics stuff in JboE: You not only made good suggestions, but...

Ah, okay, it all makes sense. I'm not a fan of the limited spells-per-day, but I can see how using that instead of a mess of spell-like abilities is much better. I'm still a bit surprised with the fey, since given the nature of the book I was expecting them to advance by class and have...

Converting a spell to a power is pretty trivial, so I had little problem imagining the new spells as powers. Any extra stuff for psonics would certainly be nice, but for the most part switch a magic item to a psionic item is quite simple. I couldn't tell you how popular telepaths are, though...

I bought it last night, and I love it! I think it will be an invaluable resource for my telepath character, and is a must-buy for a DM looking for ideas or a player with an enchanter or a telepath.

Thanks for the info, mearls, that was really informative!

A simple way to reduce randomness, in a d20 roll for example, would be instead of rolling one d20, roll three d20 and take the middle value. As long as you've got 3 d20s around, you can roll them all at once, and you don't have to mess around with rolling dice with different side in order to...

Thanks Shalewind, glad you like it so far. The Mixed Forces section was originally supposed to include mixing ranged and melee forces, but I think I kinda forgot it when I was moving stuff around. The mechanic is pretty simple, you just need to have two attack tables for such a force, one for...

Let's keep the tone away from the nasty side, please.

For anyone interested, the original link now poing to a newer file. Version 2 of the sneak-peek fixes the damage calculation problem, and has a few more sections filled in. I'm about halfway thorugh the magic section now.

Not even close to appropriate, Forrester.

Hmm... I just realised I'd been over-calulating the hit-points (I was taking the max for level-1 classes instead of the average for my examples)... and the lower hitpoints makes combat more lethal. I think I'll increasr the damage divisor from 5 to 6, or maybe to 7. I also think that the...

Thanks, KD. I'll probably include a little Excel spreadsheet so it's easy to punch in the numbers an get the combat table. I might also generate a series of combat tables with fill-in-the-blanks for the ACs so you can just copy one that has the right damage. I hate having to make it so...

I've been working on this: http://members.rogers.com/wilson0246/DnD/Battlefield_d20_sneak_peek.pdf It's not quite done yet (nor is it polished, so I apologise for the rough spelling, typos, and grammar), but it's at a stage where those looking for such rules might find it interesting. My plan...

Corwin, Jeremy: please take your arguments somewhere else. This board is not the spot for them. Thank you.

Better if it's not posted... we like to avoid that type of thing, for a number of reaons (see the thread in the Meta forum about posting stuff from the Epic Level book). -A

Storm Raven, I asked everyone to stop the personal attacks, and you haven't. You will not get another warning.

... which is why I expect civility from everyone :)
