Hmm. /Wanders over to the bookshelf to find the monstrous 4th edition Talislanta rules. Checks page count. 500 pages. Surprised it was thinner than I remembered. Though I guess each of these books will be of similar size (depending on paper quality and thickness). /Checks college physics...

This chart reminds me of the speculation I did on magic items. I should go take another look at that. And yes, the Medium armor section needs its dividing line and darker background set. If requests are still open, I definitely want to see the materials tables. It looks like there's a lot of...

Just remembered something else I intended to comment on. The grade 4 Farm trait makes it so that when healing with hit dice, any roll below a 4 becomes a 4. How (if at all) does this interact with the Durable feat, which makes it so that any roll below 2x Con modifier is raised to 2x Con...

Agreed. Forbidden Forest was actually one I really wasn't sure what to do with, but eventually put in its spot so as not to add extra waffling in my post. (Clearly that didn't help.) It's sort of a cross between encampment and religious site, but not actually religious. It would probably fit...

Are you referring to the Encampment feature where you can spend an hour to build one anywhere? You get that at grade 5, which means 12,501 gold on frugal, or 25,001 gold on average quality. It's not available for just 100 gold. I understand what you mean there, and part of that is that this is...

Note: Edited So, I want to look at the stronghold types separately from the example groupings. We don't have the full write-up, but we can guesstimate based on the example lists. Dwelling — Hut, apartment, house, manor, mansion, palace Encampment — Campsite, bandit camp, army camp Farm —...

In a fairly generous campaign, I think we hit a peak of about 40,000 gold for 5-6 players around level 14. However a number of items were magic items dropped as loot, so never really became part of the gold currency valuation. In a much less generous campaign, we peaked around 6000 gold for 6...

Yeah, kinda figured that was the case, but since you didn't provide the whole thing, that's the best we can do. So, buying by the square foot is more minutia than we really need. My inclination would be to divorce the price from the explicit size. Get rid of the square feet entirely, and base...

OK, taking a fresh look at things, I think I see how they approached the mathematical part of things. Basically, they start with cost and effect, and work up to fitting that to a size, whereas we are looking at things from the opposite direction, looking at the stronghold as its own thing...

Looks like my estimate was right in the middle of that chart, around France-Denmark range. Also, the overall range coincidentally matches what I suggested as the spread for grade 2 — 500 to 2500. And yeah, the infographics at the bottom are laughably inaccurate, but I'm still willing to accept...

Attempted sample combination strongholds. This triggered my question in Edit5. Shop 500 sq ft, with 500 sq ft external loft area. 100 sq ft of internal space is allocated to a Workshop. 500 sq ft external area is allocated to a House (Hut) living area. Quality: Average Cost: 500 + 250 + 100 +...

I should add, I really like the general concept, even without the full info. However the external grounds stuff confuses me. In particular, the Farm has a minimum size of 10,000 sq ft. Most of that is likely to be fields/pastures/etc. Is that purchased at 1 GP/2 sq ft, or 1 GP per 1 sq ft? Or...

I like the scaling much better than the original list (x10 every level), but I agree that the bottom end of the scaling could use some extra wiggle room. Currently the top end size for a house is 1000 sq ft. That's really rather small for a house. The average size of newly built 2-bedroom...

You might want to look up the more common usage for that acronym before jumping on it, because it tends to suggest things very different than Cthulhu and buddies. -- Also, while not having read the entire thread, my take on 'evil' gods (and gods in general) is that their domain is more a...

Not sure about iOS, but the process I had to go through was: Click the link in the OP to the LevelUp site (but not the Kickstarter site) Click one of the images to bring it to primary focus (black background) (This seems to be where you're stuck?) Use the context menu to open the image in a...

Paperback or hardback? Or choice of either? Since you show both.

Depends on if you want to allow the player group to escape from an encounter, take a break, and try again. If the creature recovers on a short rest, there's no gain from doing so. If it's limited to a long rest, the players have a chance to wear the creature down (even if HP is reset to full).

If I was trying to grapple with categorization, I'd go something like: Simple: Can be used without explicit training. A club, a club with a heavy end (mace or hammer), a dagger or knife, a hand axe, a big stick (quarterstaff or greatclub), a shortbow (doesn't take much strength), etc...

In the Jackalwere stat block, it has: It just reads really awkwardly. It's not a complete sentence, and it doesn't have a separator (like a colon) to mark the description (which isn't capitalized) as separate from the title. Similar for the Senses entry. Other entries seem to use a period at...

Well, it's going by size, and it looks like the example for "small" is a prosthetic limb, which is hardly less complex than a pocket watch. I'm not sure what sort of cabinet is being suggested for the medium size, but my initial impression is that the "Engineering" table is for things which are...
