You're just like your mother! I want out. :lol: Oh, I definitely don't disagree that it doesn't fit. No argument there. I guess all folks vary in how much they're willing to work with that not-fitting to fix the problem. I like Monks, so I'll go pretty far. :) Hmm, your right. What I...

A guy who spends as much time piddling over details like these as most game designers do putting everything into their products. I'm being entirely serious here. I don't think most people have seriously worked on a dedicated study of it like I have. One of these days I'll get organized and...

Bumped for a question. I think I'm gonna tell the FLGS owner about this, and was wondering if this is something they can preorder at least one copy of for me? Anyone know?

Bumped, because I was recently thinking of this again.

:o:(

Heroes of Battle is really worth the cash investment, IMHO. It has rules for having the PCs go after specific goals to advance the army, and how well they do can affect the course of the battle by them gaining Victory Points. It's a really well-written product that really makes PCs have a...

That's exactly what I do (Ref save to get to roll initiative and act in the "surprise round").

Understood, Master Sniper! If anyone posts anything that makes me that mad again, I'll just put them on my ignore list and not respond at all, in order to avoid bad blood.

I don't think that happened very often in Japan, since swords were so rare to begin with. But, I can certainly see it happening in a world where a katana smith might travel (teleport) over to yon European kingdom and find out about good-quality base metal. He might start to get lazy with his...

All right, I'm starting to understand that with monks, a big part of it is that it's the only class in the PH with overtly non-Euro-centric flavour. Sort of the black sheep of the core classes, I guess. I still don't get why you can't just allow a katana as a more-expensive masterwork bastard...

:heh::eek::(

That's the point; creatures don't have 7-foot reach... But if you allow melee attacks across a diagonally adjacent square, that's a greater-than-7-foot distance.

The automatic masterwork is due to the fact that when a sword was made in Japan, it was a big deal, and swordsmiths worked very hard to make sure everything about the weapon was perfect. They didn't have as good of metal to work with nor as many swords to make, so that just sort of caused the...

Thanks for that post. I've been waiting for someone to say something like this. :)

Welcome, tx7321! An exciting time indeed, and a great time to jump into any of the many wacky threads we have on the forums from last week. :)

We've already covered this above. 4 of those 8 people are attacking at over 7 feet instead of 5 feet. Surrounding someone on a hex grid seems more natural and realistic regarding fighting spaces and not getting in each others' way.

The blade alone of the katana used by a samurai in the feudal era is around 65 cm, a little under a foot shorter than the entire length of a D&D longsword (real-world name: arming sword). The katana was intended for two-handed use, but some sword arts of Japan involve one-handed techniques...

Are you trying to tell me I should report your post for being offensive? :]

Think again–Multishot does not add an additional attack. It simply reduces the penalty for a weapon on multifire or autofire setting. Multifire and autofire exist for the same reason Double Tap and autofire exist in d20 Modern. For firing a bow, standard iterative attack rules and Rapid Shot...

Tee hee! A Small Bard or a Medium Bard?
