Re: non-combat abilities?

Sometimes I really dig having the laundry list of special combat abilities. (I own a robust collection of games like Anima, Rifts, and Chart, err, I mean Role Master and enjoy them all!) But just not for every game. And as long as the system lets you afford to have those 10 different things with poi...

Re: First character (for practice), did I miss anything?

I'm currently running a game based kinda/sorta off of "Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon" (AKA Danjon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka), Ruin Explorers among others, and the Fighter and Mage team are sick. I have just started to watch "Pick up Girls in a Dungeon...

Re: non-combat abilities?

The abstraction of combat usually requires a good chunk of pages because it needs clearer rules. most of us know how to argue with someone. Most of us can figure out how a confidence scheme, heated debate, seduction, or spirited speech should go. But how the blast from your time displaced telekineti...

Re: non-combat abilities?

I always find that combat almost always needs more rules because it's a lot harder to just role play through a fight for a lot of tables. Rules keep the flow of a fight moving, let you know how everyone is doing, and what they can do. That said, I appreciate the wealth of non-combat abilities in OVA...

Re: First character (for practice), did I miss anything?

Unlike PFRPG, evocation/attack magic is very potent in OVA. Unlike in Pathfinder? Come on now, arcane magic is pretty darn potent in any d20 game as well. Actually, of all the schools, Evocation (as I stated above) is considered the weakest, because it does direct damage, as opposed to the more pow...

Re: Quick Reference Page

Technically speaking, not making money doesn’t change whether something is copyright infringement or not. (If that were the case, no one would have a problem with internet piracy, which...um...they do.) Only because they made it into an issue. Because what one corporations 'piracy' is another city'...
