This just confirms my fears. Especially, as I don't see a samurai wearing full plate. As far as range when was the last time you saw a bow deal 16 points of damage with one arrow?

It seems we have a difference of opinion. If I understand correctly, you feel that what the gng system sets out to do is a bad thing. I feel its a good thing. I have no interest in attempting to convince you to change your mind on the matter. I very much doubt that you will convince me to give up my interest in giving the gng system a try to check it out better.

Hi, head of dog. The feared, wise-assed, and slightly mad DrZombie has discovered your attempt to start a game without him. Oh woe unto your bones. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Old grandmothers will steal the gameboys of their grandchildren. Chickens will attack foxes and do unnatural acts of passion unto them. Poachers will be shot by angry bears, and their testicles will be inserted into bear traps. The world is doomed unless the great DrZombie allows you to ask him if he would please join your game. Hereby you have permission.

This sounds interesting, but I've got a lot on my plate. Too much really. Too bad. Maybe I should... No, I'll be strong. Really. Honestly. Aaaah dangit, see how much interest you get. I'd be more than happy to fill out any missing spots, but I'll let some new blood get into PbM.

Hey DrZ,
At the moment its just a toe in the water. All the interest so far seems to be in how I am going to set it up. Not sure if that will translate into an interest in playing.
I will be staring this game if enough people are interested. I really want to put the new gng system though its paces. 2-4 people would be enough. But nothing will be happening til May at the earliest. I've got alot of work on my hands at the moment (as well as a splitting headache
). And then I am off for 2 weeks. I'm hoping be able to squeeze in some work on the setting between getting a tan, snorkling around the reefs and chilling out with a cold beer.

A lot of the problem comes from it being easier to create a samurai as a rogue than a fighter in this system. Do you really see samurai running around in full plate, the main advantage of the fighter in this system?

Yeah, I don't really see anyone having access to the full plate armour.
I am hoping that it is not the case that the rogue class will make a more effective "samurai" character than the fighter class would. But I am going to have to look at it more closely. I'm not all that familier with the ins and outs of 3.x. I'll probably have to rough out some characters and have a look.
From what's been discussed so far, the majority of the problem seems to lie with the Sneak Attack ability of the rogue. I've always been slightly dubious about the ability to use this ability on open combat. I am hoping to change as little as possible for a number of reasons. Not the least being simplicity. So perhaps just restricting when and where it can be used would be an adequet solution.

This is the best I have been able to do with a fighter.
Oops, just noticed, the second weapon focus should be weapon specialization, take at fighter 4.

Kore | Races
Initial jottings on how the different races fit into the picture. Its all pretty rough at the moment, but I thought I'd put it up to see what people think. There is some material I need to collect/incorporate from the original game. While there are a number of basic similarities, the new version will probaly incorporate a wide range of races.
