yeah., seemed to me "Number Appearing" did the job just fine in explaining if a monster was going to be met alone or in groups.

Wait, the splat books weren't available within a week of the release of 3e either.

once upon a time all weapons in D&D inflicted 1d6 of damage. There were at least two combat charts in use the man to man chart (from chainmail) that took into consideration differences between weapons and armors and the flat "alternative combat' (which almost everyone used). then a...

wow, that is about 20 years old by now. I recall playing it once or twice way back when. Some white wolf mags are available as pdfs so #10 may be or may be some day.

I've been hit in the head with a baseball bat durng a fight. Hurt lke hell, got my attention, didn't knock me down and certainly didn't take me out of the fight. Technically I wasn't surprised so maybe if i'd just been standing there and gotten hit in the head i'd have flopped over. Of course...

With a 3d6 a score of 18 is not such a statistical anomaly that 1 in 216 adventuring women wouldn't get a score of 18 in STR.

In the U.K., in the 21st century. Are there as many female officers in leadership as there are in the ranks (in the same ratio as men)? Is the force more then a couple percent women? Your personal observation simply shows that women that become police officers that you have observed are better...

The only problem with ability damage was the math. It would be simplified by having the penalty come off all related rolls and when the penalty equalled the stat it was relate to you suffered the consiquences, death, immoblization, whatever. -4 STR would mean -4 to STR rolls, if you had STR...

I'm saying that a +1 Cha for "social intelligence" doesn't pass muster to me. Certainly not when others mention a -1 for mens" charisma. Where's the evidence beyond...uh babes are cute.

brilliant minds think alike. (never saw the option, clearly) my option is a tad different (but only the tiniest amount) since it would also govern how many spells one can prep/cast.

" it is probable that women are genuinely smarter than men with regard to languages and probably social intelligence in general." That evidence for being more socially intelligent would be the inability to vote in the U.S. until the 20th century? The inability to get an equal wage for equal...

Why the plus in charisma? That's where I smell the sexism.

Here is my current notion(s) on how to deal with multiclassed spell casters. Give each spell casting class (and magical classes that aren't strictly spell casters) a Magical Power rating. Wizards 1 per 1 with level, Clerics 1 per 1 with level. Prestige class with +1 exsting level instead...

I didn't notice much in the way of scantily clad chicks, I saw leather fetishist hemaphrodites with all the fun bits exposed cutting themselves.

I just saw this the other night on the shelf at an area Borders Bookstore. The art certainly strays into the kinky and disturbing...folks cutting themselves doesn't strike me as erotic. I actually pointed it out to the staff and recomended they moved it or wrapepd it in plastic so minors...

It didnt drive me from the game...heroic characters don't worry about getting shot once, they have a lot of HP.

You don't need extra rules...the mooks have to be mooks 1st level warriors with rolled hp and nonheroic ability scores. Tada..insta mook: 1st level warrior 5hp, AC:13, BAB: +1, dmg- 1-8 , move: 30' (well in 3.x) .

The guard wasn't a mook. That's what that fight represented.

Did you slip thru a blackhole and travel between 1985 and 2008?

Really, then why is it so different? I'd say it is the intention behind 4e to design it to be different and virtually incopatible with previous editions, it's a logical business move. They've gone beyond "fixes". Many of the monster and multiverse re-imaginings were pointless beyond...
