Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

[Barak]

I didn't figure Normand would be overly disgusted by the torture, so I didn't make a big point of it in my posts.. I figured he'd seen worse in his "old" life, and for lesser reasons. Of course that's a big part of why he -left- his "old" life, but still. He's slightly blasé, sadly.

знаток, Vidal was able to rule out one use for the beads - if you want to determine if they have religious or decorative significance, please try a Knowledge (theology and philosophy) and/or Knowledge (art) check. Showing them around might perhaps get you a +2 Aid Another bonus if someone has the appropriate skills in the unit, if you're interested.

Vidal's satisfied, in part because Sergeant Duval didn't see any significance in them, so he'll leave it at that.

"They are trying to ban alcohol, drugs, prostitution. You know, all the things that make Algeria French.", he said with a smile.

Okay, if we were playing around a tabletop, I would've had to call a break to clean up the soda I spewed! Laughing my cul off...

(Hope the kids aren't peeking over your shoulder, Barak!)

I don't know if it is worse to spew all over expensive game books or a keyboard.

Sorry to go off topic, here, Shaman, but I think I am going to put up a thread looking for players for a Western D20 game using the Sidewinder rules this weekend. знаток is going to play, and I wanted to know if you are interested. It will not be a historical campagin, so I'm looking for people who are OK with a bit of fantasy mixed in with their rotgut and campfire coffee. The adventure will be closely based on the free WOTC adventure Bad Moon Waning, so if you have read that, we'll wait until next time.

Funny, I was reading the first Tex Arcana book a couple of days ago and thinking about a good fantasy West game. Count me in - I haven't read the adventure you're talking about.

I'm glad you like Sidewinder: Recoiled!

I don't think I would have ponied up the bucks if you hadn't have endorsed it, but I'm really pleased after a couple quick thumb (scroll?) throughs.

Here's an admin question. I think we've made a pretty harmless mistake in character generation. For saving throws, defense, reputation, etc. we've made the bonuses for multi-class characters cumulative. They shouldn't be, should they? Shouldn't we be using only the highest of the two?

 

[The Shaman]

Shouldn't we be using only the highest of the two?

No, they're cumulative - the highest bonus of each class is added together.

For example, BAB for a Strong 4 is +4 - BAB for a Strong 2/Tough 2 is +3 (+2 plus +1).

I'll double-check the character sheets but I didn't notice any problems on my first read-thru.

I can't remember at all why I thought it wasn't. My synapses were misfiring I think. It's like when you see the light turn green, and for a second you can't remember what that means.

No worries - the bad news is it gets worse as you get older...



@All: Sorry for the delay in posting an update - I have a tactical map to upload but it's caught in e-mail limbo from work to home. (Yes, I was playing with edits at lunch...bad employee, no donut...) I should be able to recover it later today, so expect to see the next installment in our chronicle this evening.

Hope you're all enjoying our game so far - thank you for your patience.
