Strongly agree with Weaknesses having a Role Playing effect rather than a negative stat effect and would further say that Weaknesses can actually be used to advantage with clever roleplaying. Alternatively agree with the positive and negative idea for all stats. For example a Charismatic...

Bumping this - we have lost a couple of players and could do with more. No experience/rulebooks necessary just a willingness to post (can be short) a few times a week - more if you want. Twiler will help with everything, us too. It is great fun - we have fought a Dark Agent and Spy in Soren...

Additional thoughts: A hero may add a +1 bonus per point of Willpower spent to any test requiring intense mental concentration, for example Mind Over Matter to move an object or trying to recall an obscure piece of knowledge/identify a rare heraldic symbol or text they saw once, etc. Curing =...

Guilty. (Just wrote this and lost it so here goes again). Spellcaster Classes (Primarily) = Brotherhood Wizard*, Bautarian Herbwarden*, Dessi Magician* & Vakeros Warrior-mage** ALL have combined stats of 41+(3x Random Number). *5+RN CS, 16+RN EP, 20+RN WP. **10+RN CS, 16+RN EP, 15+RN WP...

Okay, I love tinkering with the rules and I've come up with a way of putting Grand Master Lone Wolf on a par with any other Grand Master, especially if he is without the Sommerswerd. I wanted a way for Original Stats Lone Wolf, after completing Books 1-12, to be able leave Sommerswerd in Safe...

Yes, that's why it was so easy for the First Order of the Kai to be massacred at Fehmarn MS5050 because they were all in the one place at that one time. However, just to confuse things, in MS 5102(?) Lone Wolf has now built a second monastery on the Isle of Lorn after the Shianti leave (a...

...Or of course, in a similar vein to your combat-avoiding instant resolutions; if you had a Stone Effigy you also didn't need to fight the Aeek-, Arak-... 'That-Undead-Tentacled-Monster' (Akraa-Neeonar?).

The thing is in the Books '0' is Wild like an Ace - sometimes it is very beneficial sometimes not. For instance I rule that when you fire an Arrow you imediately pick a Second Random Number, if the Second is HIGHER than the Arrow is retrievable - so a '0' on the Combat results would indicate a...

That's the other thing. You multiply the damage done only by the number of ADDITIONAL Willpower spent. The Spell initially costs 1 Willpower, to get the benefit of extra damage you have to spend extra Willpower; so there is no point spending just 1 extra because it multiplies damage by one - to...

Forgot to mention when Lone Wolf first meets the Wizard Banedon at the ruins of Raumas, Banedon is using multiple Lightning Hand spells on a Giak war-party twenty five to thirty strong. Many Giaks lie dead in the ruins but Banedon is grateful for Lone Wolf's appearance because he freely admits...

Get the bad guys to bring a friend if it is too easy. Plus ensure the adventure has plenty of other Willpower costing opportunities - if fighting is pretty much all the Brother can do then he'll save all his Willpower for that. Pay attention to the other four spells or more that they have and...

Most players, and Project Aon, go by the ruling that as the character is not dead removing Armour will take the character down to a minimum of 1EP in these circumstances.

Here's my two penneth. 1. You could argue Magic Mistrust affects all magic affecting the Ice Barbarian, whether they want it to or not. So the difficulty test of say a Healing Spell, which normally does not require a test, would purely be the Rank as difficulty. A combat spell like Lightning...

Yay looks great.

Do you mean the Mongoose vs. original equipment thread http://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=42027 - it's a sticky about two threads above this one. (I didn't start the thread so I couldn't change the name when they turned it into a Sticky, tried to PM the creator to change...
