Well... I haven't played one, but from a friend's character... I would strongly recommend the Trigger Power (Lesser Body Adjustment) + Inner Strength + Talented option. You can also add Body Fuel, and with a high enough Str (remember those Enlarge and Animal Affinity!) you can constantly have...

A project is also underway to translate the three core books into Hebrew (and publish them, of course) within this year. Though I doubt that will help you much... :-)

On the merits of Ars Magica And if you want a quick perview of the kind of setting, the Dragon and the Bear (a fine Ars Magica book describing the area of eastern europe et al, as described above) is available as a PDF from RPGNow at a low price. Did I mention this is my favorite game system?

Come on guys? No insights here? Oh well. At least I can *bump*

errrggg... Bump!

Yes, but... Alas, I don't have the money to spend on books right now. Maybe in the future, but I need to decide on the rules within a few weeks...

The following is my attempt to convert the Ars Magica magus into a wizard character in D&D 3E. I would very much like any input on how do you think this character will fit into a D&D 3E campaign (the campaign has large areas controlled by Magi, btw). This will probably make little sense to...

Strength I agree that long years of study come at the expense of other pursuits. In particular - physical pursuits. Have you considered making Strength/Dexterity a skill? A character could have a basic Str/Dex score, and use skill points to improve it. I have been thinking of making characters...

1.) Where do you live? (Country, community, etc. at whatever level of disclosure you feel comfortable.) Jerusalem, Israel 2.) What is the primary language in your area? (...and is it a notably different dialect than its original?) Hebrew. There are also some English speaking people in the...

What about (N)PCs affecting PCs? I am curious how you handle this. How do you introduce Cha into interactions with the PCs (asside from what the article says)? This is especially annoying with things like Intimidate - the local brute, that would intimidate the PCs (most often rightly so!) has...

The problem with potions is that... Potions need to be drunk, and carried... so it's quite hard for a person to enjoy their blessing when the law cuffs him, and interrogates him in the next morning... I am hoping to find a more permament solution. But this is a great idea I hadn't thought of...

I want my campaign to have plenty of thieves, or at least thief guilds. But I have found thief guilds to be rather difficult ot maintain with Discern Lies and Zone of Truths at every corner. So I am looking for ideas on how to circumvent them. Anyone? So far I have thought of creating a magic...

Ars I could use some maps for Ars Magica It is a great game, but personally I find it more "intensive": D&D for me is more "light", with Ars Magica I just feel I need to make everything more historically true, more realistic, so it requires more time. Maybe it's just my D&D childhood games...

Ascention According to Die Vecna Die (in the blurb in the brggining), Vecna died quite normally (i.e. violently), but he became so legendary that a cult developed around him. His spirit, floating in the world, slowly gained power and consciousness from his worshippers, until he became a demigod...

yes but As a mathematics pedantic (:D ) I must insist that the chance of anyone throwing three 20's in a row in any three (aprticular) rolls is still (1/20)^3 x 100 = 0.0125 % (Notice he does have the same chance to roll three 1's, or to roll the said 20's in any SPECIFIC, but not consequetive...

I'm confused How does that fit into 3E? I consider 3E to be the simplest D&D version, for example the BAB and the "roll d20 and add modifiers to beat a DC of X" are simple concepts, lacking in the 2nd edition. What part of the system will be 2nd edition based? More to the point, I fail to see...

Horses? It might not fit with your Germanic theme, but other groups of barbarians have greatly benefited from large mobility due to a greater reliance on, familiarity with and abundance of light cavalry. It sure helps to make quick hit and run attacks, although magic would somewhat lessen the...

String Theorys Dimensions As far as I know (and again, I am only beginning to learn string theory) the dimensions exist much like any other dimension. The particle can "move" in the dimension, just like it can move in 3 dimensions + time, so in that sense they are physical. However, they cannot...

IMC I hvae not ecountered that problem in 3E yet, as my players are not of high level. But I intend to have the raise-dead spells take up a whole day to cast, and have very high XP penalties to the CASTER (as well as a high gp price). That way, the cleric isn't likely to go around raising all...

What edition of Ars Magica are you using? It seems you are using the 3rd edition of Ars Magica as your inspiration. If you are, you may want to know that in its 4th edition the magic system got more complicated - but more predictable too. "Accurate" ways to assign DCs (i.e. spell levels) and...
