To understand who or what Gandalf really was you shouldn't read only the three basic books or watch the movies, but read the other books like the silmarillon as well. :wink:

Hmm... you are right, but I think as you are not consciously attacking the shield or the weapon, but the defending person, he may elect with witch one he wants to parry. Or, if you are not happy with that, let the dice decide.

As far as I understand it, if the Attack Roll eaquals the Parry Value of the defender, proceed as if the attacker had tried to make a Sunder Attack aginst the defenders weapon, without the chance for an AoO. Thus the defender would not be harmed through this attack, but could possibly be left...

I have always disliked weapon speed beeing removed from the game since 3rd E, but as stated above I think its causing much calculating within the initiative order if you change your weapons etc. After a discussion of this topic with some friends I had an idea (but so far I didn't have the...

Thanks for the link Lucius! I've been looking for this too.

Hey that's great news! And yes, what about the older articles?

Yes, Higa, tell us please. I'm intrested in your solutions of level substitution. Tegman, does this Swedish RPG of yours have a name? I'd rather have a look on it too.

Hey! In the description of the whip it is said that it deals no damge to someone with a DR of 3 or higher. On the other hand it can be used as a finesse weapon. So is it possible to damage an opponent with a DR of 3+ by making and succeeding in a finesse attack? How would you rule this? Feuerbart

"C - Class skill, and you gain 2 ranks in this skill at 1st level, then 1/2 a rank in this skill each level thereafter, always before spending any of your own skill points." At first I was irritated by this statement too. But I read somewhere that it is only valid for solo adventures or some...

Hey! In our last game session I had the Problem of "naming" the year my group is playing in. So I was wondering if there is some kind of calculation of years in the Hyborian World like xxxx AD or BC or so? Do the people of the Hyborian Kingdoms use a Calendar? Greetz and Thankx!! Feuerbart

I'm 27 and I started playing with "Pool of Radiance" from SSI on my C64 and shortly thereafter with AD&D 1st and 2nd edition (I didn't realize the diffrence then). So I'm playing since 1989 or 1990. :) Feuerbart

Whatever your roll and whatever your modifiers, a result above 10 is always teated as a 10. So if you use a skill untrained you can solve only tasks from Very Easy (0) to Average (10) DC. Feuerbart
