[QUOTE="DungeonMaster, post: 1995949, member: 27431"] So it's ok to reprint, I don't know TONS of material from other books like PrC, feats and the complete rehash but in a book on battlefields it's not ok to reprint mass combat rules? Seems kinda odd to buck the trend but if you're happy then all's well. I guess. Until you use it. Ever had a maximized empowered clinging blah blah blah breath weapon hit your PCs? Ever have your PCs lower the SR on your monster to um, nothing? Sorry. Manual of the Planes = no Andy. And it shows. Clr3/Necro3/TrueNecro10 Feats: Necromantic Presence, Necromantic Might, Practiced Spellcaster: Cleric, Corpsecrafter, Graveborn Expert (Dragon, mindless undead gain 1 feat), Spell Focus: Necromancy, Destruction Retribution, Nimble Bones, Mother Cyst. Rod of Undead Mastery + bead of karma. caster level with regards to necromancy is: 11+4PracSpellcaster+3TrueNecroAbility+4K armaBead=22. So with the karma bead active it can control 220 HD of heavily beefed up undead I think the current record on the hulking hurler is 3.5 trillion damage in one blow. It doesn't matter. Just stick it on anything with a pile of strength and voila, thousands of damage. Whirlwind dervishes, karmic strikes etc... I guess it's not quite as broken as divine metamagic and practiced spellcaster mystic theurges. Maybe. Gestahlts, level adjustment buy offs, oh sure. Nothing to complain about here and nothing poorly thought out or poorly designed. Unearthed Crunch and Munch not at all. Anyhow. I don't play star wars but I'll take your word on it that it's reasonable. You have your name on the cover, you take both the adulation and the flak. It's been like that since time memorial and I doubt your annoyance is going to change that. There's a pronounced trend in books with that name on their covers to be bad. Do you buy novels from an author you think is bad? Do you go to movies from a director you think is incompetent? I'm just stating my opinon. Andy collins on lead design = historic flop. Anyhow, I'm sorry for the aggressive tone but this has me really irritated at this moment. I've honestly got nothing against you Ankh-Morpork Guard and I don't even hate Andy Collins, he's a pretty nice guy from what I gather. I just seem to hate everything he "designs" for it's utter lack of insight. [/QUOTE]
