I would say no to stacking other spells as well for the same reason as the armor discussion given above. If you do allow multiple spells of the same type to stack, then why can't Armor stack? The safe thing to do is write "no stacking! Unless the GM says so." :wink: Another thing to avoid...

I read it to mean that "A" caster can cast one die rank of Armor on each recipient. But that doesn't take out multiple casters (A,B,C) all casting one die of Armor on the same man. I would say instead that a recipient can have only one die of magical physical armor at a time. This doesn't...

To avoid the power armor that could occur, one magic armor die per receipent sound good to the DM me. The player now OhNO! I say go with the one per person or ecpect 3d6 + normal armor in mose sessions. Oh as a player, I had visions of the tank in front of 5 casters putting d10 armor to equal 5 d10...

Hi there, This is The Knight/Paladin :D This battle is interesting. However, the fact that I have Mantle and Heal to interfere with the success of the Captain seems to have been missed :P With the mystics bolts going straight to toughnesss, I don't tink the battle would go quite this way. The abili...

Its all good.

I do understand that standard creatures would make a huge difference over fodder. I was running through it just now and at the end of round 3, the ranger was still standing w/6 toughness left. I used your numbers as I could but even with a graph page up w/ pools I was forgetting who had gone alread...

I do like the buying action thing. Not sure how it will balance but I would like to try it out soon. I think the mechanic is 100% within the spirit of the rules. I've allowed "sacrificing" of die-ranks, and the revitalizing action (which IS like 4E healing surges before I'd heard of such ...

It should be good now. Allowing Harm spells to bypass Resilience made a big difference. I hope you see what a difference using standard creatures (rather than fodder) makes in the danger level. That captain took one of your guys down pretty fast. The encounter was "balanced" according the...

So, ignoring weapon speed (which I prefer to do for now), there's only two phases in this battle round. Also, We'll allow ranged attacks and general movement to occur before close attacks . So, assume the guards appear (in a town where you're not wanted), and out in the open road they attack to sub...

1. I don't like eliminating Arcanum from the resilience pool. It doesn't make sense to me that an individual who uses magic everyday is just as susceptible as a fighter who has never felt the forces surge through his being. I could see cutting it in half and dropping the multiplier on resistance (t...

Right off the bat, eliminate Arcanum from the Resilience Defense Pools. It's just pushes that score too high, and I've felt that way for a long while. Let's just make it so. So Mystic warrior now has 18 Resilience. The two elves both now have 14 Resilience each. Their group challenge score is 90. S...

Two notes on this party: I ruled that the buckler could still be used when wielding a 2 handed weapon. Also PC C wanted a short composite horse bow so I created one. With that said, Here is the party: PC A Mystic Warrior variant (Half-Elf) Advantages: Low light vision (2 CPs), Extra Weapon Attack lv...

3. I used 40 enhanced goblins and the PCs won with slight wounds. How would only ten with a point less HP stand a chance? Maybe if the ten had a 3d shaman as you suggested next but I don't see how the flat ten would do better than 40 enhanced. Well, let's do this. Put your character party here, in ...

Good to have most of them in one place!

2. Maybe but numerically it makes it a bit closer for non-extra weapon attack users. I'm thinking it may be an unnecessary detail to keep track of. Sometimes we right rules because they seem to have some sort of internal logic, but if there's little effect, sometimes a good argument can be made to ...

Example by rules as written: 1. All split attacks (from a single ADC) occur in a single phase. The extra attack comes at end of the round. Why do you list only PC 2 as capable of multiple attacks? It is just difficult to explain why a split attack that happens in a blink of an eye(Same battle phase...

Hello!! One question before game play began was if elves sleep less or have a waking sleep type thing like some other games going on. Rules didn't state (that I could quickly find) so I ruled that they sleep as all other character races do. 1.That's what I'd say. Although, if you want the AD&D ...

I can't say much on this because my party has not advanced to 2nd lvl yet but I would suggest that allowing mastery early on is not a great idea unless supported by character background and/or current training facilities. In other words, a character raised at a swordsman training facility would be ...

Bruised I would say. The original 8 would be a 4. 6 minus 4 equals 2 HP left, when he hits again with another 8 (Reduced to 4 because he not trying to kill the creature) he would then exceed the HP of the gob but because he wants to subdue the creature it doesn't die but is knock out or subdued(Not...

Session went very well. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Mass combat and traps were the order of the day. Questions/house rulings are in colors other than default. One question before game play began was if elves sleep less or have a waking sleep type thing like some other games going on. Rules ...

1. Oops forgot about that. I would still follow it just replace Toughness w/HP. Dividing the Po Harm by 2 allows for it to be more difficult to knock someone out than to just kill them. This leaves it up to the player to try or not. I'm not seeing how this would work. Let's say the goblin has 6 hp....
