Re: Need advice for a level 0 group

Raven's The Arwich Grinder in issue #9 of Crawl! is also quite good. If you are up for an urban sandbox, then check out Edgar Johnson's Street Kids Of Ur-Hadad in issue #1 of Metal Gods of Ur-Hadad.

Re: Who handles the tables?

I am still not convinced buy the "tables are only suggestions" thing. The Mighty Deed thing for example is something that is praised in all the reviews. But if it is not something that players feel that theres a mechanic behind it, what is the point then? Whats the difference to making an...

Re: Spell burn to regain spells

Don't know about official, but I am also of the "1 spellburn = 1 attempt to recast" school of thought. As am I. It reinforces the severity of magic, and makes sure that if a caster is going to somehow twist fate to regain that tentative grip on the arcane forces that he had lost, then he ...

Depends on the items. Did she make them herself? How powerful are they? What are their purposes? How threatened would super-natural beings be with these items in her possession?

Re: 20's and 1's

This is probably something everyone knows, but I thought I'd bring it up "just in case." The RAW is that a natural 20 on d20 is an auto-hit (unless you are a dual-wielding halfling, then a natural 16 on d16 is an auto-hit). Natural 1 is an auto-miss. Only warriors and dwarves can spend luc...

Re: Spellburn to regain a spell - time

Do you allow a wizard to spellburn to regain a spell and cast the spell in the same round? FWIW, I let the PC treat the spellburn as a move action, so if the casting time for the spell is 1 action, then he can cast in the same round (assuming he does nothing else). If the casting time for the spell...
