<t>Not to sound too non-altruistic but I was a judge for Wizkid's Heroclix, Mechwarrior line pretty much from the start and started it off in two seperate stores...it ran well until they pulled the plug on the rewards.<br/> <br/> Ultimately, the time investment wasn't worth the fun anymore.

<t>As far as that climb goes, the first question that needs to be answered is how hard do you want it to be?<br/> <br/> A level 1 character with a CR 1 (ie. +1 to difficulty) has a challenge approx equal to his character and will find it challenging. But yet suited for his level. +2 to +3 to difficu...

<t>I just try not to think about it! Mostly because cosmology is what I'm in graduate school for.

<t>To answer your poison question, it can inflict a ton of different forms of damage. I've personally used poisons that inflict 1d6 damage to every attribute so far except cha.

<t>Great analysis Melkor. And mathematically I agree with everything you said. <br/> <br/> But I think that, this is kinda giving the 3rd Ed. treatment to a game that really doesnt "fit" that kind of gameplay.<br/> <br/> The way I see it is that the seige engine is a more of a suggestion to the CK. ...

Help with a fantasy insurance company
<t>Hi everyone,<br/> <br/> I'm starting an insurance company in my campaign. Makes sense if you think about it. It is ran by a high level cleric capable of casting ressurection. Players are able to pay a monthly fee based on their level and how they answer these questions on a form,<br/> <br/> This ...
