<t>Wow. Brutal. I guess this just seems alien to me, falling being deadly. Ironically, the player who ran the knight who fell here was a friend as a young child. To see if he was spiderman or not (we were four, okay?), we invented an ingenious scientific method, where he would hang on to the fourth ...

<t>Yeah. Definitely more roleplay-intensive. The great thing that my player hasn't taken into consideration is the possibility that his squire may still be alive. I'll post more soon.

Fall damage
<t>So I recently ran a session of Assault on Blacktooth Ridge (you can check out the adventure log in the Crusades section). In one area, the floor breaks and the unlucky player tumbles down a thirty foot drop, sustaining...6D6 damage!? Usually fall damage has been along the lines of 1D6 per 10ft of...

C&C one on one campaign
<t>So it's been a busy couple of weeks in college land. Two of my friends have moved to California, one never wants to roleplay, and the other is always busy with school. So I have one player left. The campaign I was playing in fizzled out, so I was getting pretty desperate for some C&C. So I pi...

<t>What would be interested in this more "big-monster slaying" oriented rules set of yours would be to include some rules for siege weapons, such as catapults, trebuchetes, and ballistas.

<t>Interesting propositions. Probably the most inviting prospect is the one that seems to be the simplest: Monsters have max HP. The idea of dealing max damage is also interesting.

<t>Also, can you use illusions to disguise things like fire or water as something else? For instance, if you were to disguise a fire, as, say, a fountain?

<t>I like the idea of avoiding the rolls, but it just seems strange. Like, I could understand an illusion of a dragon giving heart-attacks, but as far as psycho-somatically self-inflicting wounds, it just seems a bit contrived.

<t>illusionists have always suffered in a standard dungeon-crawl setting, especially in smaller parties.
