Agreed. I would be very surprised if there was a different puzzle that advice was supposed to apply to.
With the 4gp we earned do we have to deduct for Higgly, or does that only apply to loot after a fight?

Re: Can Prestige Classes Be Salvaged?

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 71 – Shadow of the Giants
I'm torn on this. Sticking your hands into random holes is generally not sensible. But it just seems too weird a question - like something must have been lost in it. In the Audrey Hepburn/Gregory Peck movie Roman Holiday "They tour the Colosseum. Joe then takes Ann to the Mouth of Truth and tel...

It's strange to start with what seems like so much money relatively speaking. Yes, pay her.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 71 – Shadow of the Giants
So treasure can be a multiple of 2 or 3, but not both unless it is at least 6. So far all the treasure we've seen has been a multiple of 2. That means that Gibbly won't get full pieces of gold, which means he wasn't planning to get paid. Increasing my vote to a full vote for Higgly.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 71 – Shadow of the Giants
Someone who is fearless and untrustworthy might take our gold and split. So I think hiring someone trustworthy is probably worth it, but we only have Higgly's word that he can be trusted. Well, traveling with a fiery red-head sounds more cinematic so let's call it a half-vote for Higgly (the more ex...

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 71 – Shadow of the Giants
From the little I've seen Fire is important. It seems that the 15gp fire sword would be the better choice. I may have doomed our last character with my name choice. If anyone else has suggestions I'll defer to them; I'll make a suggestion tomorrow if nobody else suggests one. Looking forward to it!

Re: Alternative Item Bonus Progression (Kaelik)
This was a subject of discussion this week on the Discord Server. With some ongoing website issues some people can't navigate to threads that don't have a recent post and some people may not know about the discord. Two birds, one post.

Thanks for running it.
Where would we have found beeswax? Dealing with the Slime and Swine Guttery?
I'm reminded of This Comic
Hopefully our misadventure will make the next successful one all the sweeter!

Re: Can Prestige Classes Be Salvaged?
In context, saying that every class in your game can be used to play a soul knife, and then saying that the classes in your game are tightly controlled, is pretty funny. PL is arguing that if you have a class system you need to have a small number of classes that rigidly adhere to a specific and un...

Re: Can Prestige Classes Be Salvaged?
Infinite or even more than a tiny number of gradations of hybrid themes are things classless systems can generate fairly well. They are NOT something class systems handle well. Class systems do not do that well and so should not do that and should focus instead on reinforcing their actual strengths...

Re: Can Prestige Classes Be Salvaged?
You contend that any good class system must have fewer than 20 classes. A good class system could have fewer than 20 (ours has 6) but it also could have more than 300. Rigidly defining a unique role (as you advocate) is an option, but many people (myself inclided) like the idea of playing various de...

I probably shouldn't post from my phone - it does lead me to make minor errors when throwing out example numbers but pointing out a calculation error isn't a refutation of the argument. I am not arguing that a Soul Knife is a 20-level class as conceived. I am arguing that people like the idea of som...

Re: Can Prestige Classes Be Salvaged?
A class based system with 20 classes is only better than a class based system with 100 classes if it provides the options expected in the play space. Soulknife (as printed in the Psionic Handbook) is a bad class, but it's an interesting concept. It's one that people want to play, and in some setting...
