you could set the campaign before the books; there's the confllict between the red hearders and the grass giants that could involve the PCs, and the vampires could easily be a recurring encounter type also, there are a number of off-world species available in the great ocean(s) on the planetary maps...

well, i like to figure it like this: a hit from a siege weapon on a high level character does less damage(as a percent of max) in part because they are tougher, but mainly because they are both better trained, and luckier; when a level 1 character gets hit with a catapult rock, it hits squarly and t...

reflex save
5 + 1 + 3 = 9 (failed of a certain, the DC will probably be atleast 22)

Seeing as how the gunners stations are all occupied or inoperative, Namfoodle takes a moment to act in an utterly pathetic manner in response to the pain of his suddenly aquired wounds.

consider it a price to pay for wielding larger weapons and gaining up to 20 points of DR notice, also, that the emcha rmor is only utilized by two factions: the primitive orcs the honor-bound iron-tooth clans both of these are soscieties that put an emphasis on personal prowes in combat, and mech ar...

hmm... that reminds me of the D&D 2.0 Gorgon's description; uses stone to flesh to make food for itself when there aren't any adventurer's around to kill so, assumably, the meat is edible, if dead i would rule that different types of stone make for different types of meat (say, likestone or chal...

Namfoodle surveys the mess (or, what he can see of it) that's been made of his station. "Oh... Clinkers!" Namfoodle disregaurds Hammer's suggestion; it's not like he'd make much, if any, difference manning a steam gun, especially after his earlier display of martial ineptitude. He begins c...

In that case...

I still make an attack a round like I rolled for.

I should note, however, that under normal combat conditions I prefer to declare my actions on a round by round basis (and at my initiative count, though i'm amenable to declaring my actions at the start of each round).

([+2 BAB/2] +16 mech dex, +2 controls, +3 dex, -4 non proficiency = +18 )

24 (6+18)
33 (15+18)
25 (7+18)

Namfoodle whoops as he begins connecting with some solid blows... though he can't tell if he actually did any damage.

Seeing as how Namfoodle arrived at the party late, he is now sitting at whichever seat was unoccupied at the time, most probably the steam breather, but one of the huge steam cannons, if he's lucky. ([+2 BAB/2] -3 mech dex, +2 controls, +3 dex, -4 non proficiency = -1 ) 12 (13-1) 9 (10-1) 2 (3-1) 12...

hmm... I need to fix one point, master's touch is one minute per level, not one round casting time: 1 swift action*; Components: V,F; Range: personal; Durration: 1minute/level gain proficiency with a single weapon or shield you hold in your hands focus: the weapon or shield you become proficient wit...

(Assuming that the bounty announcement was audible throughout the city mech via a PA sysytem of some sort...) Namfoodle sits up and thinks for a second... 200 gold? that's a few meals, sure enough Namfoodle jumps off the bunk, leaving his pack where it is, and heads for the lower levels, and the mec...

just checking if you looked into that prestige class i mentioned... also, i just watched a nature special on ravens, and i decided i'm not particularly interested in getting somehting mechanical or different from what's noramlly available, so i wrote up stats for a raven familiar i figured i'd post ...

just came up with a random idea, i was going to do something creative for the begining of this, but i chickened out... and, yes, i do realize that there are no mechs below large size Lunar engine costs 1500gp weight 500lb PU: 4 this odd looking engine occupies a 5 foot by 10 foot area and is 10 feet...

i wouldn't suggest the trick with the symbol; there's nothing limiting what it can effect when activated other than hitdice, so the only way to tune it to the party would be to get all of the party to have more than X HD

no comment on "Dragonmech Monstrous Mechs (Paperback)"?

i would hazzard they are about as common as regular dragons (chromatic and metalic) and have a similar aversion to defensible and settled places defensible and settled meaning city mech patrol routes and the few cities that have survived the coming of the lunar rain, of course i imagine that the dra...

december come quickly, too :twisted: found This while poking around on amazon a bit ago entered Dragonmech as my search criteria and that was the 4th result i also did a search by author for joseph goodman, and half the books listed are books outside the realm of D&D you never told us you knew a...

i would suggest you use the pilots and gunners of the mech to determine the CR, and count the mech cost when you use the NPC wealth guide and equip the NPC if they've got more mech than the wealth index would indicate, then bump the CR up a level or two (depending, of course, on the mech; if it's re...

heh, i was in the bookstore yesterday, and there's a new book i saw out (DMG II) that looks like it's mostly information on saltmarsh
(atleast, that's what i gathered from the table of contents...)

out of curiosity, how do you mean 'beyond his level limit' do you mean stuff more powerful than he should have (but in line with wealth by level) or do you mean stuff that costs more than the wealth by level would indicate? though, technically speaking, there's nothing that says you can't have more ...

(OOC: true, that, i'm in the common room, and the dwarf overseerer you guys are talking with makes 3) Namfoodle Climbs up after his pack and sits on the bunk. "I may as well lay low for a while, i'm sure they'll forget about me soon enough. Travel is always so exhausting." He curls up on t...

Charke wrote:Also shadow spells have a particular history in all the campaigns I have run in the past. I'll also check out that prestige class you're after.

I'll bear that in mind. I should also, in that case, mention that the Spectral weapon spell I have is also a shadow sub-type illusion spell.

personally, i think certain rolls should be kept secret spot, search, listen, appraise, and so on it's hard to ignore the fact that you just failed a search check for a trap, you know? anything where you're going to know the results right away (attacks and so on) i couldn't care less if they're hidd...

luckily for you, i ahve nothing better to do at the moment than look up odd tidbits http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=190&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=89 As for stacking a boiler with it, yes, the intent behind the steam power rules is to do cool things like that, so ...

OK, the spells i picked (up to what i can afford) are:

1st
Tenser's Floating Disk (PHB)
2nd
Blur (PHB)*
Fox's Cunning (PHB)
3rd
Arcane Sight (PHB)
Dispel Magic (PHB)
Displacement (PHB)*
Secret Page (PHB)

This leaves me with 100g 2s left

i'll put those in my spellbook now
