[QUOTE="greywulf, post: 3311339, member: 4285"] Lots of good stuff, and me too busy to reply! Meh! Ok, I'm here now, so............ Kensanata, thanks for the Core Rules Revised .pdf. Good work :) I'm still ploughing on with Big Shiny, should have something to post by the weekend. I hope. Slow going. It'll be worth it though. No, really. TWF adds +1 to AC. I like. I'd suggest that the second weapon doesn't get an additional attack if it's being used for defence, though it can be switched from round-to-round. At low levels, that would mean defence usually is the better option, but at higher ones that extra attack might be worth sacrificing a point of AC. Tactics. Tactics are good. Again, I'd say only for Fighters and Rogues, and only with light weapons. Hmmmm. Not sure. My players like to roll, and a lone Rogue can do a lot of damage from the shadows even when outnumbered. I'd say this is more of a case-by-case thing. There have been times when I've not bothered asking the Rogue to make a skill roll because it's clear the poor victim doesn't know he's there. For example: - Rogue [I]spider climbed[/I] on the ceiling above, with a crossbow. My player's favourite tactic :) - Guard is being distracted by the Fighter, who's arguinig with him. Rogue in the shadows some way off. With a crossbow. Again. - Rogue is disguised as a prostitute, Guard is stoopid. Rogue has punch dagger behind oriental fan. Nasty. I could have asked the player to roll with a hefty bonus, but it's a lot easier and more rewarding to the player it say the stunt has succeeded. It's more cinematic and player-centric that way. Always good things in a game. Good roleplaying + tactics = reward in my game. A few more things (heck, I'm still here, but should be coding. Ah well)............. - When [S]Big Shiny[/S] the Macropedia is done, I'm going to stick it on lulu.com as a print on demand publication. So if you want your own printed, bound copy of Microlite20 all the House Rules, adventures, campaign settings and more, it'll be there! If you've contributed stuff, your name will be in print! Cool eh? - I'm going to trawl through this thread and add the best of the House Rules to [URL=http://home.greywulf.net/m20]the Macropedia site[/URL] and Big Shiny itself. That's going to take a while, so any volutneer assistance would be gratefully received! - I'm also going to grab a copy of this thread and post it someplace just in case a Great Server Crash at ENWorld takes down all your valuable input. That'll never do - I need more [URL=http://wiki.greywulf.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Macropedia/Critters]Critters[/URL]! Please run the Monster Generator, make up descriptions and append them to that page. Thanks! Phew. I'm done. [/QUOTE]
