Most equipment aren't as fragile as a DM might like to pretend or it wouldn't be brought along on a rough-and-tumble adventure.<br /><br />Use reason, of course. Some games have Saving Throws for items but extreme damage (such as might be dealt by an angry high level monk or an errant blow by a Vanquisher 8500) might easily destroy more than one item. A backpack could be shorn in half and a great many items therein obliterated.<br /><br />All up to game logic.Septemberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629554581190199658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-88561214708332752772013-01-15T15:53:52.265-08:002013-01-15T15:53:52.265-08:00Noble Knight has them.

(It's not particularly clear from the pdf how the covers/bookjacket come together). <br />So a couple weeks ago I claimed what was likely the last hardcover copy in Seattle :) <br />Very functional. Recommended for anyone who can find one. <br />It is densely packed and requires a serious read before use though.<br /><br />I'm left with the question: *How do you guys use PDF's at the table? <br />I can imagine how it ought to be useful, but i can't make it work without severely obstructing my mojo/pacing (slow to navigate).

It was one of very few left. I can't say I much like LotFP's push for PDF format, I do a lot of my planning over breaks from school during travel, so I prefer something more portable.<br />As far as duels, I usually just pull out a more detailed hit chart to give people a clearer metal image and throw in some effects to keep things varied. That or my players handle it themselves, dueling when they've split the party and I have to manage someone else's shenanigans.Zavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869589113810731406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-1022640817515371692013-01-03T17:57:48.858-08:002013-01-03T17:57:48.858-08:00We need more cases where M-Us get bupkis ;P

For example, fighters could get 2 or 3 hp/level while clerics get 1 and magic users get bupkis.

It could be used to add some weight to the choice of dueling to begin with, and also to give the impression that "the gloves are coming off." Plus, then you avoid two fighters with 97hp hacking away at each other for the next 30 minutes. Unless you're into that sort of grind, of course.<br /><br />Gabriel Harleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429674024580938218noreply@blogger.com
