(I forgot to update the front page, didn't I?) 4th level. Max starting wealth (5400 from what everyone else is doing. I, personally, have no idea what max starting wealth is.), max of half wealth on one item. Your BAB related numbers will need to be altered for the level change, but otherwise it looks good.Re: Flat footed. I assume Ken didn't deal with it in the House Rules thread ... Nope.Some thoughts. Common sense would suggest that if can't see it comming, you can't defend yourself against it. Hence the popularity of armour. Uncanny Dodge strikes me as being a bit like 'spider senses' - they allows characters to react to things they can't see coming. Its uncanny. The problem is that so many things get rolled up into one. Being attacked by an invisible opponent. Missile weapons on the battlefield. Being surprised.From the Immobised Characters get an automatic 1 on thier defence roll, I suspect that you lose everything. Ken's is a harsh world. I think that I'll start with a more middle ground approach - being caught flat footed results in you losing you reflex/dex bonus to your defence. ie. Your BAB bonus refects more than just your ability to dogde, but also an inate, unconcious ability to minimise your exposure to danger. Like the old vets in the Vietman war movies who somehow stay standing while others fall. OK. Its a bit thin. But we'll play it this way and see how it goes. It has the added benefit of being the most simple, requiring no rewrites of Uncanny Dodge and Feint.</blockquote>
