Book 3, but you need to find a silver key first

The biggest thing that your players seem to be forgeting is that they have to give the perps a chance to surrender before they can open fire. Also, they have to take every available opportunity to bring perps in alive - too many dead perps is cause for SJS involvement (after all Rico Dredd was...

Add me to the list. I have also ran a group through all the gamebooks using the old system.

What I did for the Grey Crystal Ring & Psychic Ring was to give them some Willpower & access to MindShield/Mindblast and Psishield/Psiblast. It reproduces the fact that they were both psychic amplifiers and, since Mindblast gave +2CS in the books, it more accurately reproduces the effect. If...

We have a house rule for massive damage - Fort save = Damage taken. As for damage, we have used an extra die as well, and it worked well for the d20 games.

Ranged combat uses the basic combat skill, and adds DEX mod instead of STR mod. I'm away from my rulebooks at the moment, but in the section on psychic combat, there is a formula for the combat skill - I think it's class level (all classes that grant psychic combat) + CHA mod.

I think that the Vordaks and the like are immune to the standard powers of Mindblast, but are still vulnerable to pyschic combat. ie. They are immune to Distraction, Force of personality, Psychic Lash, Dagger of the Mind and Spiritshreik.

The good means that the damage reduction can be bypassed by a magic weapon or a good-aligned weapon. And magic resistance doesn't do anything against psychic combat.

The concentration skill probably should refer to someone readying an attack in case of spellcasting - it was probably taken straight from the SRD. As for touch attacks, I think that incorporeal creatures still have touch attacks.

The way I am using this in my game is that it takes your move action every round to keep the distraction up - it means that the ability is less useful at the higher levels, but with the other psi powers being able to be used with a full attack, that won't really matter to the PC's.

I am about halfway through running the Awakening, and there is more player choice in the senario, but I may have to railroad them slightly to get them onto the next Prog - they missed out on looking up some information at the end of Prog 5. All in all, if you have a psi in the party, you...

There was a Special Item in Dawn of the Drawgons called the Sunstone - this was made to destroy active Shadow Gates. I think that there is also an item called the Sunstone in Southern Magnamund, created by Shasarak - have to check my books on that.

The Magnakai disciplines do not state that they provide an increase to the saves. Since the text doesn't, I can safely assume that it means that they don't provide any bonuses. Think about it - the Kai has all saves at +9 at level 20, without the +5 bonuses (which takes them to +13 - more than...

EtenalKnight - you should receive the maps today. Somehow, even though I was online, my emails didn't get sent :shock:
