I have never really thought of IU/TWF that way. Now I am definately considering taking IU when my character reaches 6th level! That way he hack with a battleaxe in both hands and do an unarmed strike with elbow/knee as his TWF action. thanks to everyone that pointed that out.

Note: I hit upon this idea without looking at the weapons chart. So I am assuming all finessable weapons can crit on a 19. One way to keep it even for both types of attackers is by having a crit bypass all DR. This way melee, finesse, and ranged fighters can benefit from this rule.

I agree. While they help in terms of layout and AoO's adjudication, they do cause a breakdown in other areas. For some reason, most games I have played in recently rarely have AoO's occur. Mainly because people are too focused on "tactical decision making". Heck, it even borders on being...

Yeah, double thanks. Now, when I do acquire a copy I have no one to blame but myself for being disappointed due to misconceptions.

While I am a bit disappointed that I didn't get Kovag for free, I understand the legal hassles involved in doing so now. With that said, I really do like your idea of getting RPGNow to halve the price to $4. It makes it much easier for me to justify the expense. Now that that's out of the way...

It makes more rules-sense for iniatitive to be:Dex + total reflex +misc. Otherwise, why would Lightning Reflexes modify it? On the other hand, I do agree that better errata should be provided for those that aren't buying the A.E. soon.

I am curious about that as well.

A quick aside: how do you pronounce his last name? I have been saying it for years without knowing of I did so correctly. It doesn't help that I become to self-conscious when I do so :roll:

24 panels... Must (hopefully) contain a lot rules info so that book referencing is minimized. I may purchase one.

I award experience in an arbitrary fashion. Basically, I treat it as a story award similar to how games such the "old" Wheel of Time game did. However, I don't inform the as to the amount of xp they've earned only when, and if, they gain a level. Pretty much a 180 compared to how I handled xp...

I wanted to receive Kovag via SoC as well. In fact, I had Kovag "plotted" as a future adventure in my campaign. I guess that won't be the case after all unless other circumstances change.

Thanks, that helps answer my question. Guess I'll have to monitor my inbox then.

My thought process worked along a similar vein when I originally signed up for Sons of Cimmeria. Eventually, I'll get a copy of the Atlantean Edition but only so that I am rules-compatible with others at the gaming table. However, I'll echo an earlier sentiment. What about those of us, that...

Yeah, I would like another new goodie too. If not, access to previously released material would be nice too. I believe only those that cut out a tiny portion of a page get those. My propensity for books in good condition prevented from pursuing that option. Unfortunately, my book now has...
