Re: Getting Players to Buy Books/Dice
I was once the guy who had everything for every game. both 2nd ed, 3.0/3.5 pretty much cured me of that. Just when I got everything for 2nd ed, 3.0 came out, then they made 3.5 and burnt me for tons of cash. I also feel that $50 for a book is a bit much for an untested product. Once we played it a w...

Luck use and mighty deeds
Generally, is it permisible to use luck to change the deed die to a success?
We had agreed on it at home, but I was wondering what the general consensus is here.

Dwarf vs Warrior
I looked for this topic and found nothing. With the higher hit point die, deed die, and arms/armor selections which of the two classes seems to work out the best in a group? Is there a real difference other than racial abilities? Do those who rolled Dwarf randomly object to demi-humans being stuck i...

Re: Mighty Deeds and non-Warriors
What about Elves who had no choice in classes?
Nothing wrong with a D3 or D2 deed attempt with a little luck on the side.

Re: What can an elf do to avoid corruption?
I mean, can they spellburn or use luck after a 1 is rolled to adjust the die?
Most spells we have read have to fumble and roll a *1* on the misfire chart to gain a corruption. Luck bonus can raise this if it is posative, lower it if it is negative, correct?

Re: Firearms
I also think it should just be a judge call.
I also think a "shield" spell could block a lot of shots.
Open ended dice used in 2nd ed DnD was a D10 and kept rerolling 10s.
This made the possibility of huge damage and D10 is still decent damage...

Re: How often can a cleric retry lay of hands?
Some clerics are just the favored of their deity.
Loss of favor is harsh, harsher for those who only knew love.

Re: Limits to Spell Burn?
Compare that to the might deeds at each level that cost the warrior...Nothing? IMO, a spell result in the high 20's + is hardly comparable to a mighty deed. I agree! The Mighty Deeds are WAY WAY out of wack! Your next game add up all the damage(from Might Deed) and effects for the entire game and t...

Re: Tinkering with the halfling
Halflings are pretty powerful as written, so I would tread carefully.
I think they are often overlooked as both a fighter type and a rogue.

Re: Limits to Spell Burn?
I have never had to cut a pound per spell/point of burn. Just the idea of me having to slice off a pound of my own flesh to "seal the deal" I made to get my result is enough of a negative. I certainly do not take it lightly, nor do I down play the effects of the loss of flesh and my weaken...

Re: QUESTION: Warrior Crits (threat range) on second attack.
I don't think that I crunched the numbers on % of hits. If the cap on the die doesn't have a chance of a hit, why give them the attack? As far as crits, like I said last time, I would have to see how it played out. Not one of our characters has lived to level 5 over almost a year and a half. If they...

Re: Spells, Wizards & Material Components
And lots of these items can be used up in the casting. Sure you can get a +1 bonus.
But there is only enough for 5 uses.... Chose when wisely.

I think a wizard with average 3D6 scores or less, 9,9,9 or 10, 10,10 should be allowed to use the spell burn rules as written. My awesome wizard has a 9 intel and average scores.
