I love the anime themed ones but then I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.

That pretty much rocks. Status cards would go a long way to not forgetting stuff.

You are taking into account the fact that this is a 20-30 ton mech vs a 80-100 ton mech, right? I mean, I can imagine having your ace pilot in a heavy mech being virtually immune to stuff and it being right up there with the stuff that happens in the battletech books. And you don't have to render th...

Well, if I called them abilities or talents would that make you feel better :tongue: I know it wouldn't make sense to have ace pilots in light mechs but that's how the system would be theoretically balanced. I don't think the skills do enough even making them like that. Anyway, it was just something...

Mechwarrior

I always admired Mechwarrior... not the rules so much but the idea that the pilot of your mech actually mattered beyond providing a Gunnery and Pilot skill. And with all this talk about Shadowrun and Battletech and FFG I was thinking what I would do if I could change it to make the pilot a little mo...

I think my most memorable experience was finding a dead bronze dragon suspended from a ceiling by hooks and chains, freeing the dead body and then bringing it back to life with a Rod of Resurrection.

The Second most memorable was being eaten by said dragon...

Well... I just want to play a monk. I was going to be a full on 8 swordsage but we need a rogue, excuse me trap finder, and the DM is iffy on allowing ToB stuff now since my 1 level of warblade in the last game was totally overwhelming. I can only spend upwards of 7k on any one item and it's really ...

Optimized equipment for Monk 2/Rogue 6

I'm playing in a game and I'm trying to come up with the right set of gear for a Monk2 /Rogue 6. I'm pretty sure I'm going to use the savage species necklace that gives bonuses to natural attacks and that I'll be wearing a +2 chain shirt (I'm not going to using flurry). If you have better suggestion...

There was a game called Warhammer quest. It's players vs environment where everything is rolled randomly on charts or with cards drawn. It's a basic dungoen crawl engine though with very little thought to anything outside (other than going to visit a town to resupply). Monster actions have strict ru...

Redoing monster feats doesn't seem too bad. I might just make a few types of monsters and reuse the same feats by type and number. Like a fighter type monster should pickup X feats in Y order for Z CR.

How to create balanced monsters

I'm starting a campaign using the Tome feats and some of the other features and I was wondering what other people do to fix the challenge level a little. Specifically how would they change/fix the 3.5 monsters that either seem over the top or bring up some of the weaker monsters or if most through o...

I've never posted before but I felt like I wanted to chime in so here goes - Could the players upon gaining a level and changing class change previous abilities out for new ones? And instead of allowing them to change everything they only get to change a couple? For instance, the character is 3rd le...
