Troll Lord Games

hmm.. My take on that is Orc's are stupid bullies, tactics and logic is for someone else. If 4 "humans" break into the room. Two of which have swords drawn, coming at you and your buddies, then guess who needs to be dealt with in the 6 secs after the door opens. Yes the dudes with the swor...

Sometime I'm a little dense so I thought I'd check with some other folks.... The Spell reads... The flames can be used to attack. The caster can hurl them or use them to touch enemies. Successful touch attacks deal 1d4+1 point per two caster levels. The flame can be thrown up to 50 feet, igniting an...

Yes, he can kill one of the Orcs on his turn, but there's nothing he can do to stop the Orc from just casually traipsing by and killing the squishy classes. I think you trying to put to much detail into the combat system. It's 6 seconds of abstract combat. If a fighter says I'm holding back the lin...

Oh man, that sounds like it must have been fun! [Thanks for the Giant also.]

Locate object read ", 2 cleric" but should be ", 3 cleric" [Page 90] if we are picking nit's

Opps I missed this... If it was directed at me I was 14, and the youngest at the game.

guaranteed to kill roaches DEAD on contact. WHACK! Good luck getting that campaign game going again, Stephen. Once it's derailed...Well, you know. You never know :)....

LOL, I'm hoping I'll be a little younger then that by the time it is all out and ready to be run. By my calculations, at our current pace, my group will finish Castle Whiterock in the summer of 2013.

You can always throw in Advantages [or a form of Advantages] from the CKG if needed to round out anything that seems to be missing.

-Mike

Does chart 16.6 page 240 of the CKG seem in error with regards to the EV's listed? I was just looking over it and I can't figure out what was meant. The Elf Mail Shirt is listed as 10lbs and 5 EV here... Other armor is also listed oddly? Did the table get messed up or do I just not understand.

-Mike

That's an interesting idea, and I may well try it. Currently, my house rule is that all healing spells go for the full amount if they are cast in a non-threatening situation. If the caster cannot relax and concentrate on maximizing the spell (e.g., in combat), then a roll is made. oh I like that! I...

Do you know the list that your browser checks against? It would be good to have them re-check and get the site delisted. [Not to make do big a deal of it but they did have a problem along these lines. I had the site scanned by a major security scanner, and Brian worked hard to tighten everything up....

I don't know that Tim could do anything other then make phone calls. In my own way I sort of took a look into it, and I can say it looks to me like something the hosting provider needs to check. Basically when it goes down the whole website not just the forums go down. Even trying to load a non-exis...

Birthday reminder list. The digits are short hand for the birthday date.

-Mike

Ah ha! Cool. My son and I started playing it today, so far it's been a "gas" and not just because we hit room 34.

-Mike

I might be getting old and just missing it but I can not find a key entry for the "statue" markers K1 -> K5 on the first level?

-Mike

Also downloaded... Looks real nice, good maps, 100 rooms!

-Mike

Yup. Troll Lords are working on it. I think it has something to do with the amount of forum usage vs server space? :) It was a tight a fit when I moved it, so it's no surprise that it comes back to bite. Hopefully they [the hosting folks] can up the filespace limits with out charging a huge amount....

I'm so glad I've been running this correctly

Nice, a twist on Unseen Servant. [Which is a spell that has always begged to be twisted]

-Mike

I've seen the old d20 version although I do not own it. I just looked at the Pathfinder preview and it looks like it has lots of tasty info but it's not really the direction I want to go with my game. I'm very interested in seeing a C&C version of course :). Things this makes me think about. I l...

Next I'm wondering about Cleric/Druid Familiars. I was thinking of a 3rd level Druid spell to promote an Animal Friend to Familiar status.

Also should there be a limit on the Hit Point bonus received from Familiars? [Does Orcus have a Ancient Red Dragon Familiar that gives him 408 HP? ]

-Mike

I've been spending some thought cycles on Familiars for my group lately. The first thing I've come up with is an Illusionist Familiar spells. Thought I'd post it up to kick of the discussion. [Most of the text if straight off Summon Familiar but with "Shadow" added.] SUMMON SHADOW FAMILIAR...

I could add that since I don't allow multi-class at all I just pick the best single class representation of the NPC/Monster and go with that. I happily change stuff like Aristocrat to a real class that fits the NPC's position and or Alignment. [The Thane of Norborg is an Assassin in my game.] Add or...

I've been running Castle Whiterock for my group over the last year. [They are About to enter the Immense Cavern] My advice is to sit down with each level of the module are do a short write up of all the monsters you want to keep.

That's what I was leaning towards, it makes a pretty cool power like that.

--Raise Dead Thread--

How about the duration of the Totem Shape? It says as Polymorph Self which if it applies to duration would be 10min/Level... However the 3rd SRD says 1/hour per level and AD&D had no specific duration that I could find.

Any thoughts on duration?

-Mike

I probably made the question to specific, it should also ask can Monsters wear magic items as is. Can a Troll wear a Ring of Protection, how about a Giant? Rings are assumed to "auto-size" and so do other pieces of Magic.

-Mike

I was stating up an NPC who had a Worg companion and it got me thinking about magic items and animals. In the old days I [we] generally allowed items to be crafted specifically for animals, or for high level casters combos of shapechange or polymorph any object could be used to get items to fit corr...

Wow! Is all I can say. Thank you for sharing these with us.
