Re: TLG 81311 Codex Nordica

Do we have a release date? I talked to Tim a few weeks ago and he said the PDF should be ready sometime around the 5/14 with the book to come shortly after that. Now, how hard those dates are is anyone's guess. But I would think the PDF should drop soon-ish. R- Last word I remember reading, was Wal...

Re: Defense Score from CKG

Thank you, Fizz!

Do you think the DR numbers as listed in the CKG are too high?

BTW - I like your 'limited hit points' idea to make for a grittier game. I have some other tweaks of my own in mind but for now they are on the drawing board have not been playtested.

Has anyone here substituted the Defense Score for Armor Class with armor used as damage reduction as per the CKG p. 258?

If yes, how has it played out in your games?
