    I also have the books [merged] (info on upcomming Power sources and more)

    I agree that downloading illegal copies of the books is disrespectful to the "artists". But I also kinda think it is disrespectful to release D&D 4th edition on June 6...

    Van Helsing stole my idea

    The magic and Voice system from Dark Legacies would work with d20 Modern or possibly Spycraft... I've already made a d20 Modern version of the Arcanist and Priest (from Dark Legacies) which can be found in the House Rules section of www.redspirepress.com

    Other races -Iron Heros

    1 trait and standard abilities for demihumans. Full number of skill points. 1 feat a first level (instead of two) 2 traits, 2 feats and standard number of skill points for humans. That I think balance them out. Reasoning: Humnas are more versatile, while dwarves, elves, etc. symbolise...

    [PbP] Dark Legacies

    I'm looking for a few players interested in a PbP game of Dark Legacies. It'll be low-level, investigation/trouble shooting, closed sheets (DL screams character secrets! :)). I'll be running it on the DL forum at www.redspirepress.com Anyone interested can either post here or on the actual forum.

    Am I breaking any rules with this tactic?

    Hussah: If you want them to be able to do this, make it a teamwork benefit with some fairly annoying requirements...if they really want to be able to do as you want, they'll make sure to meet the requirements. Off the top of my hat: Improved Initiative and Combat Reflexes for the leader. Combat...

    How do you feel about raising longbow damage?

    I can't speak for Nim, but I think this was included to make "true" archers that much more dangerous than mere fighters who were to pick up a bow occasionally. Of course, even 16-20 is good for an x3 ranged weapon...:)

    [WoW RPG] Help needed

    I need to create a Horde character for a game commencing in 2½ hours, but my friend, who is running the game and has the book, is not home. To avoid spending precious gaming time creating the character, I was hoping someone could help me with a few stats, and such. I need the racial abilities...

    Other races -Iron Heros

    How would giving +1 to one or two masteries, instead of aotu proficiency sound? For instance all elves have +1 to Projectile and Finesse Mastery, while dwarves have +1 tp Power, for instance. It's not as powerful as it may sound as you still need to use one or more feats to get the benefits. It...

    Other races -Iron Heros

    I'd give them the standard racial benefits, 1 trait and 1 feat at first level...2 traits seems too powerful...whterher I'd limit which traits they could choose from I don't know...I'd probably say no to an Elf taking Agile for instance...

    Unmodified Skill Points

    Also it would nerf the half-orc completely. As it is half-orcs take -2 on a dump stat and -2 on an "important" stat, while gaining +2 to a very important stat...drop int bonus to skill points and all half-orcs will be running around with Int 3 and Cha 1...

    What do you NEED in a starting town?

    From a meta-game point of view you need the following: 1) Shop...either a traveling merchant as suggested above or a "general store"...they need to be able to get some equipment. Perhaps combine the two so they can buy stuff costing up to, say 10 gp all the time, but for more expensive items...

    15 Second House Rule: Charging Lances

    It doesn't break the game, so go ahead and use it...I might use it as well, but people almost never charge with lances in my games, so...

    Removed

    We've used different systems, from 1 day/per target level to 1 week to a very advanced system where each skill point spent, feat taken, and spell or special ability gained took a variable amount of time...I'd say go with something fairly easy...if it doesn't matter much just say 1 or 2...

    When did "Medireview" = Medieval???

    Not seen as an attack :) The explanation is: Middle English Belfrey, alteration (one sound replacing another) of Berfrey, from Middle French Berfrei, meaning "bell tower" or "siege tower". There's more to be said about the origin of the word, but this is the important part. Anyways...at some...

    Can a dozen orcs challenge a 17th level party?

    There aren't bells and whistles big enough to turn a dozen standard orcs into anything that won't be over in 2 rounds, tops, against 17th level characters... No risk fights are not funny to play, it wastes time. Now, if the players want to try how it would be to kill a bunch of orcs with their...

    When did "Medireview" = Medieval???

    Because Bush uses "nucular" with "bombs" more often than with "reactors"...

    What to buy... Help!

    Posting a little while we wait for JVisgaitis :) The magic system in Dark Legacies is simply fantastic. It looks a little, on paper, like standard D&D magic, but is notthing like it in actual play. Now I know that's not enough to make it fantastic. But the fantastic IMO is that it feels so much...
