I agree. I think the real issue lies in how VP are defined i.e. along the lines of Hit Points. I think VP are a great resource that cover much more than this limited definition. Essentially, they act as a form of drama points by managing the "screen time" of the PCs i.e. Jedi get to use only...

I note that it is True Sorcery and True 20 Bestiary. True Sorcery is not a strictly True 20 product. It provides an alternate magic system (from Black Company) for use with True 20, Iron Heroes and Thieves World. A lot of people seemed to have it confused despite it lacking the True 20 trade...

For clarity, the current True 20 magic system in based on the Psychic's Handbook. True Sorcery includes a new magic system for use in True 20 as well as Iron Heroes and Thieves World. It is essentially an expanded version of what is found in Black Company Setting NOT Psychic's Handbook.

Actually, I am going to bow out of this one so if it is OK with EK you can have my spot. I am soon off on holiday over Xmas and it would be a difficult start for me. Thanks all for the time though.

Me too, though I was close to giving up.

Yes, roughly. Some specific applications require either additional powers or feats, such as using fire shaping to attack someone requires the elemental strikepoweer and weather shaping is an additional power that requires you have wind and water shaping powers. Yes. Attack and Defence are now...

Dreams and visions also work well for the Dessi. Vague visions of impending doom provide strong and everlasting motivation for PCs until such time as the PC has bonded with the other PCs and has other motivations. Considering the future to come, the bond between the Dessi and Kai will need to be...

Awesome. Sounds like we may have a few Errol Flynn style swashbuckling fights amongst the PCs ;)

Sounds good. BTW I live in NZ and will be offline on the weekends which are Friday and Saturday for you guys in the US.

So the group is so far: Kajamba Lion - Gunner of Bor/Magican of Dessi Dusk Fox - non-magic PC Skywalker - Sage of Lyr EKnight, do you want us to come up with prior connections? I could see my PC travelling with either a Gunner of Bor or Magican of Dessi.

Cool. If it is OK with everyone then I will go with a Sage of Lyr from Magic of Magnamund. Sage's are scholar swashbucklers who travel the world seeking knowledge and challenges. I will come up with a PC concept, stats and background and post them here tomorrow.

I am not fussy for the Kai Lord either, though I wouldn't say no if we needed one. The classes I am keen on are the Shadaki Bucanneer, the Sommerlending Knight, the Magician of Dessi, the Brother of the Crystal Star and if we can go further afield the Sage of Lyriss (my personal favourite but I...

Count me in. Any guidelines on PC creation?

So the -2 penalty is not cumulative. I would have thought it was given that a -2 penalty is relatively light considering you roll a d20.

Just because there is a limit to attack bonus doesn't mean you will max out in it. That is why it would be very strange to assume everyone paid 20PP to do so. There is tweaking in M&M but as a point system it is also balanced. Skill ranks are limited to PL+5 IIRC

You might need to be a little clearer as I am not sure what you are asking. GURPS and D20 are actually quite different in terms of design and history, so any direct comparison that treats them as identical is problematic. GURPS was designed as a generic system but it is closed for use by...

I don't see how True 20 completely falls down here. The True 20 appendix contains comprehensive conversion material that allows you to change the damage system in True 20 to D20 and vice versa very simply and easily. Using the appendix makes convertin d20 monsters a breeze. It takes me no...

Well, if you are then I am in the minority too. I must admit I had my suspicions from the teasers but I found myself underwhelmed by IH for the same reasons you have stated and this feeling got worse the more I read. I found that the book had a sprinkling of good ideas (most of these were stated...

On the contrary, I think LW RPG is excellent and one of the best examples of how to use the Open Gaming Licence (as opposed to the D20 licence) to its best effect. Almost all of the rules (I would say about 80% - classes, skills, combat, stats, equipment and general rules) are D20 and will be...
