I've used Stupor Mundi (RQ2) and Val du Loup (BRP) to enlargen my medieval setting which uses Deus Vult too. They both have some supernatural elements which tie in nicely with Deus Vult if you want your monks chasing some local cults, nephlim etc. Never got around getting the source book on...

Resurrecting this thread a bit, as I have two questions I hope people here can asnwer: Firstly, what is the bonus a ship officer gives to a crew, it seems the PoL rulebook gives conflicting info? Is 10% or one fifth of a given skill? Secondly, the ammunition consumption of cannon in ship to...

Thanks, auyl! That's very handy as I am about to start a Legend / Classic Fantasy campaign based on large pile Pathfinder/d20 books. They use a lot of critters from those tomes, so I am going to order the lot. Will make my GMing a lot easier. :twisted:

Just a question about Tome of Horrors mentioned above, is that the d20/pathfinder book it refers to?

Good stuff, thanks for the trouble you've taken to sort this out Soltakss! I haven't been able to get much GMing done lately due to work pressures, but I will take gander as soon as I can. Currently my pirate wannebees are marooned on a deserted island, so the need for speed is not acute...

Haven't had time to really hunker down and get my head around the Arms of Legend tables due to excessive workload, but one thing caught my eye, can anyone answer this one: How long in seconds is one combat action? The speed of ships in Arms of Legend gives two values: meters per combat action...

Alright, thanks. I tried converting the feet per round (30 sec) figures into miles per 12 hours, and didn't get anywhere near the suggested figures. This system seems badly broken to me, I wonder how it's possible to print two editions of this book without fixing these? I can't help wondering...

I just can't seem to get myself understood, or I really don't get it myself.... :shock: So you are subtracting the knots figure from the miles / 12 hours figure, and don't see this as a problem?

Sorry, I dont think that is the case. I am not reading the slash as divide. The table clearly states 3 ft / 6 miles (for calm), it doesn't even use knots or hours anywhere? The ft is for combat round, and the miles is per 12 hour period (as it states above the table on the previous page)...

Yeah, one assumes we're talking about nautical miles here? But if the table for wind speed says that in calm conditions a standard ship moves 6 miles / 12 hours, then this would be 6/12 = 1/2 knots, right? Since knots are miles/hour? So given the penalty of -3 knots for galleon, we get -2,5...

Sorry I havent been able to respond earlier, haven't had my books handy to check the details... But that's a good point about speed, that the distance it's for 12 hour period, didn't notice that before. You'd assume that ships can sail during the night too, especially on open seas? Is there a...

Yes, it would be nice to have the main enemies evolve too as the campaign progresses. But I'd probably prefer to wing it and have things happen according to the story needs, rather than apply strict rules to simulate progress. That would keep paper work for the NPC at minimum, and I can adjust...

Great, thanks for clearing this up, soltakss! I will make a note of that page about harbor entry. I didn't specify that Baron Mendoza would in fact be a dasdardly Spaniard, and not a pirate or privateer... maybe a pirate-hunter? I understand fully that buccaneers & pirates wouldn't stand for...

Hi Guys, been skimming the book for a time now, and it seems a couple of things could be clearer in the pirate rules. I wonder if anyone's got a better handle how these things go? Firstly, the rules on reputation are pretty clear all the way to the application of reputation. It mentions taking...

I guess the PDF version works well enough until then, I do like my books in print. Any plans to expand the Troyes & Paris information in Ex Cathedra into similar source book(s)? They'd be right along the same road it seems...
