I like that. So the attacker gets to choose which limb is removed on a failed save, but can only choose "head" if he rolls a 20 on the attack roll. Unfortunately that leads to the situation where you roll a 20, confirm the crit, and the victim still makes his save so you "only" do double...

Ah, a rat bastard GM after my own heart! :)

Hey, just because EN World is brenching a thread doesn't mean you have to at home. It's all about brenching options.

"Are you sure you won't surrender?" Avardis asks his opponent as he beats the man's blade away. "I really think you ought to consider it." Attempting to Aid Another to give Droban +2 to hit. Attack roll +1 vs. DC 10, I believe.

I like it, but I wonder if it needs to be such high level. I understand the extra severing effect (or is that a Severus effect? :) ) but 8th still seems a little steep. Unless you have rules for continuing damage from loss of a hand/arm/whatever. That would certainly make sense, but the core...

Deleting threads? We've been doing that in our homebrew messageboards for years. It's like you're reading my mind!

I think the best way to attach value to a free product is through name recognition. Given the popularity of E6, I think "new stuff by rycanada" should be all the cred you need. :) EDIT: Another way might be to associate with a known publisher who would be willing to help spread the word and...

Avardis sighs and murmurs, "Apparently we're not getting out of this without bloodshed." He draws his great blade and in the same motion steps forward and sweeps it toward his foe's head. Move action to draw, then 5-foot step and attack the nearest foe. Nothing fancy. +1 Melee (1d10+1...

:D Christian is mean. But if the party's 4th level and you have a wizard/sorcerer with Eagle's Splendor that should be a big help. If you have a bard, he has Inspire Competence at that level, too.

Avardis puts up his fists and says, "Very well, fool, if that's how you want it. I'll beat you like the dog you are." He feints a jab at his foe while ducking his blows. Ok, first of all, I don't think a roll of 12 counts as "feeble." It was a manly if unsuccessful attempt to grapple. :) Now...

I've never played WFRP, but isn't that kind of par for the course? :) Maybe your GM is cooking up a "get revenge and get healed" adventure.

As they get near the geologist, Jane says brightly, "Dr. Merryman, I'm glad we caught you. I'd like to introduce a couple of gentlemen interested in the local caves." She turns to the travelers. "This is Mr. Wesley..." she trails off hopefully, realizing that she hasn't gotten either man's...

I note that the pictures of duskblades in the book are all (I believe) using no shield. I think the model is the greatsword weilder who holds his sword in one had to cast. Personally I don't sweat it that much. There's a low-level duskblade in the game I run (actually fairly high-level...

der_kluge: Yep. I've done something very similar for my game. I use Kayuda, which is an online tool for this kind of thing. If you're interested, here's the map for my campaign (slightly out of date): http://www.kayuda.com/workspace/id/345

How about masterwork items that give bonuses to specific uses? So for example you could have a masterwork rapier that has a really funky basket hilt that gives +2 to disarm attempts, etc. There was a supplement with a bunch of these masterwork properties, but I can't remember who published it.

Well if I became a god by this method, the first thing I'd do is make sure I didn't have too much competition, by changing the rules. So the gods set up The Church to control what is recognized as wealth. Anybody whose account gets too big might get a visit from some extraordinarily tough...

Hmm... If you really wanted this to work, you'd need a game-mechanic definition of "own". No saying "All I see is mine." Your wealth has to be recognized by society in some way. Maybe rather than keeping your money out of the bank, you have to put it IN. The banks are run by The Church...

Raven, are we still alive? We're off to see the spelunkers, are we not?

"That's enough!" Avardis bellows as he charges the nearest thug and grabs him in a bear hug. "Leave him be!" Nobody's seriously hurt yet, maybe we can keep it that way. :) Move 10 feet and initiate a grapple. I know I'll provoke an AoO, but I'm willing to chance it. Grapple modifier is +1...

Yes. You don't have to breathe the fumes. ;)
