D&D 4E 4e and Lava Rules! Fire and Brimstone

[barsoomcore]

We can only hope that 4E will achieve this kind of rule-fluidity where environmental hazards are concerned.

SammichCon Creations is available for consulting on any and all rules issues, should the 4e designers wish to take advantage of our enormous brains. Our rates are really quite reasonable, when you think about it.

These rules represent a huge step forward in innovative game design. Not only has it explained an often controversial game problem in a concise, easy-to-understand manner, but I have also been unable to stop laughing for fifteen mintes.

Highly recommended.

I have never seen something of this nature having people with tongues planted so firmly in cheek. Guys, those rules were amazing, and will see much use in my game

cheers,

The most balanced mechanic EVER! And a truly refreshing approach to game design.

Now I want a hot bath...

A little complex for my tastes...

Yet another way George Lucas ruined Star Wars.

I have it from a very reliable source* that George Lucas has said that the substance Anakin Skywaker falls into and crawls out of alive (obviously making his save) at the end of episode 3 is in fact plasma. Therefore, these lava rules will indeed still work in SAGA because plasma is not lava. Or magma. Or superheated rock.

Plasma is for wussies and girly men and I'm sure the RAW for plasma reflect this, so save it for your Star Wars and Dragonlance games.

*My friend knows a guy whose uncle met George Lucas's mailman at a wedding once.

Actually, if you watch very closely, Darth Vader didn't fall in the lava, he fell very close to the lava. If he'd actually fallen into the lava itself, he'd have died. No save.

I think there's a whole line of products here the Sammichcon guys can push. "If you get swallowed by a T. rex you die. No save." "If you fly your spaceship into the sun, you die. No save." "If Chuck Norris punches your head off, you die. No save."

The possibilities are limitless.

Dude, I'm not going to spoiler protect Star Wars. That's just assinine.

By the way, Vader is Luke's father.
