There's a classic we could do with revisiting, since ravenloft hasn't had much play for quite a while. So here's three options that you can add to your unholy experiments against nature, making them more scary at the cost of a fair amount of money and xp. Boosted control over them, or increased intelligence. And that great staple of mad scientists, adding extra limbs on. And then that's it, which is a real shame given we've had long and imaginative articles on customising your undead. This is not a good use of your frankenstein, monster or doctor. Double the size of this, and maybe we could actually get somewhere. Under command: The last couple of times, we've been talking about campaign play with a greater degree of character building and continuity. Now they go the opposite direction, and talk about introducing old school random elements to your warband building. While they maintain overall point buy restrictions, they relax the usual alignment ones so you can wind up with quirkier combinations of creatures that may or may not work well together statistically. As usual, there's a fair few variants, from giant monsters to hordes of smaller ones, and card shuffling to auction bidding, which means this little article can get a fair amount of use before you get bored. Good to see them supporting multiple playstyles with the same basic game. Sage advice: Can you tumble while prone.( Sskip thought so. Andy doessn't. Andy iss stricter than sskip. No pessky cinematics in Andy's game, collins collins )Can you jump as part of a charge (Yes. Quite ussefull. )How far do you fall in a single round (All the way, ussually. You have to be very high up to not hit the ground in a ssingle round. ) Can you overrun multiple opponents in a single round. (Only if you miss the firsst one. Once you hit someone, you've got to sstop.)Can a hiding character with spring attack attack, then hide again (Very tricky, collins collins. Need lots of feats and powers to make that viable. Andy does not recommend it. )</blockquote>
