Iron Lore: Malhavoc's Surprise?

[A'koss]

(Regarding Armor Damage Reduction) Yes, but probably not exactly in the way you think.

I'm curious about how this is handled as well as straight DR tends to not play very nicely at higher levels. My guess is it is either like Alternity (a die roll subracted from damage) or something like I use in my homebrew (damage die reduction: 1d8 -> 1d6 -> 1d4...).

Mike, are the classes in IL more traditional (knights, wizards, rogues, priests...) or are they AU influenced (Akashic, Runethanes, etc...). Can you tell us how many classes there will be in IL?

Are there any changes in the way Spell Resistance and Spell Save DCs are handled? I imagine all monsters now have "Damage Resistance"... true?

Cheers!

I want the feel of a D&D campaign without it turning into walmart.

Full of old people in blue smocks?

For budget purposes, how much should I expect to spend on this astonishingly enticing product?

$37.99 US, according to the White Wolf Insider/Swords & Sorcery Quarterly.

The book sounds awfully appealing to me. Freeform magic? Streamlined prep work? To scale with D&D without massive arrays of magical items? Definitely worth checking out.

Dare I hope for an abstracted wealth and/or equipment system as well? Picking out equipment has always been my least favorite part of D&D character creation, regardless of edition.

Ouch... pricey for a B&W book...

So that's probably around $49.99 CDN... better start saving my pennies now.

Heh... I'm actually the opposite here, I've always liked buying the equipment. As a DM, I usually turn it into a mini-adventure with haggling, unscrupulous sellers, stumbling across a few cool/unique items, etc.

Cheers!

Ok I only read the first page so someone in the next 2 pages may have already asked this, but you only mention converting it to D&D and vice versa. What about conversion between IL and AE/AU? Some of these rules sound like something that could be a very interesting tweak to the AE/AU setting.

Yup, I just read on Monte's site that info on converting between IL to AE will be in there.

Magical items - the DM's guidebook has rules for these. They work a little like items from Call of Cthulhu.

I didn't think it was possible for me to be more sold on this book than I was by your first post. I was wrong.

Could someone hand me a moist towelette?

Damn you, Mearls, and your "making me want to buy things." My GenCon budget just keeps growing.

This sounds just too cool, and like exactly what I want from a d20 game.

Malhavoc's just made their first sale to me.

August at Gencon

I meant wide release. I won't be there.
