That's Lycanthropies Lycanthropies- n.pl.- conditions resulting in turning into an animal at the full moon or at will. Someone in my group says ronnin for ronin.

OK, lets's assume a long chase. An ogre has a base speed of 40ft. That means that at a walk, the Ogres are doing 32 miles a day. The party, at a walk, can do 24- but they can outpace the Ogres if they're on lightly loaded horses. If the party have light horses that aren't loaded down- or if...

Buy this DM a copy of the WHFRP2 corebook. It's what he should be running with that style...

The Hagunemnon (from ELH) is another Douglas Adams reference. WFRP 1e critical hit tables are brilliant: "Your opponent's head flies off 2d6 feet in a random direction". My favourite one of these, however, is the 1st edition L5R sourcebook "Way of Shinsei"- which covers monks. It had a sidebar...

Your bard-pirate needs to take Sea Shanties as his perform skill- they're the RL equivalent of bardsong. Which race you choose can also be interesting: Half-elves probably tend more towards the trading end of things, while half-orcs are useful muscle for anything from a press-gang to hauling on...

The Vanara from OA. Monkey-like and LA +0.

Disrobe probably works better with Greater Command. Miss is unbelievably cool. If trying to take someone alive, Command: Surrender would give you a round to bind them before the spell wore off and they started fighting again.

Dame only applies to female members of an order of knights, with the exception of the Order of the Garter, which uses Lady- however, the only female Knights of the Garter have also been monarchs, including the current Queen. Lady is also used for a female Lord, or for the wife of a Lord or...

I might go Barrrrrrrrd (sorry for the pun). Take Perform (Sea Shanties). Use this website: http://www.jsward.com/shanty/index.shtml Replace references to real-world events-like this-

In fact, there's an exemplar (outsider type) for every alignment: CG: Eladrin e.g. bralani NG: Guardinal e.g. Leonal LG: Archon CN: Slaad TN: Rilmani LN: Modron (possibly now Formian) CE: Demon (esp. Tanar'ri) NE: Yugoloth LE: Devil (Esp. Baatezu)

Middle Earth does though- PO-TA-TOES...

The door to the dungeon is a trapdoor in the steps, very well-hidden (but able to be found easily by the party rogue), and opening downwards when triggered by a tripwire (also able to be found) on the step above. The PCs will think that this is a trap, and step over it (which they can do without...

I think DnD has potatoes. Anyway, the labelling of my potions depends on whose they are. Militaries have a distinctive code based on marks and (for rare stuff) the shape of the bottle(for example, a sun means a cure spell, the number of them shows its strength). Individuals label their potions...

In the 101 NPCs thread, the city executioner was a Thug (Fighter who replaces bonus feats with Rogue's sneak attack progression). A beheading consisted of a coup de grace with a greataxe using Sneak Attack for extra damage to boost the save DC. And I wouldn't call a rock in a sock (AKA sap) a...

paradox42- you can tell by the fact that Sabine had to shapeshift. Hopefully grandma rule is intact.

Remember- Practised Spellcaster only gives you caster levels, not new spells...

I make all gun-type weapons, from flintlocks to lasers, simple. Their operation is similar to that of a crossbow, which is a simple weapon. Reloading may be another matter, though...

The cows-polymorphed-into-toads idea is NICE. The thing is, what happens to creatures summoned as part of a swarm when you kill them? RAW, a swarm is a single creature... Summon Snail Swarm, escargot for everyone!

I like the way the sword is just poking into the penultimate panel.

Still uses the pre-decimal British system- 12 pennies in a shilling, 20 shillings (which may have a c in WHRP) in a pound/crown. I've given my players a few of the unusual British pieces as well (guinea, half-crown, crown, ninepence, florin, half-sovereign etc. etc.). I had different cities...
