Re: Monster Attacks and Obstruction

Giving a boon to the player is a good idea. I would probably try to move the monster so it can avoid the cover of possible or attack an other combatant of course or do the next attack instead if that doesn't work either. My thoughts are similar. If the character hasn't used their action, a boon see...

Re: Encumbrance of excess weapons? Unworn Armor?

I'll be honest, I dislike that Plate and Chain count the same as a 4th sword, too, @VorpalMace.
But I'm not one to house-rule mid campaign. And I don't house rule lightly; if I were, I'd simply have used the RQ3 encumbrance rules.

Re: Familiar

It should be a relatively normal enchantment... Magic Seal, Permanence, and Transfer as prerequisites, General. I'd say the animal must be calm to begin with - via either RP or use of Animism.

It should allow sharing WP and sharing sight. Range equals WP of the caster...

Re: Tone: Dragonbane vs older DoD editions

I've been reading 1st ed Dragonbane (making use of scans and Google Translate)... it's not quite a direct translation of BRP1 & Magic World, but it's really close. The formulae are tweaked a bit. Oh, and first ed has no Ducks in the core. Not even the mundane form. Unfortunately Worlds of Wonder...

Re: Can you pin Xenomorphs?

It's worth noting that not all Xenomorphs are big enough/bad enough to charge down the hail of sentry-gun ammo. Especially Early in the infection. While the mechanics don't provide for pinning, for the smaller forms (facehuggers, chestbursters, starfish), a hail of fire would have me at least consid...

Re: What parts do you tell the players?

I'm looking at the "Adventures" booklet, mostly pages 6-8 which describes the history of the region and present events. Do you start the adventure by giving the players pretty much all of that information? Or do you start with a blank slate and let them figure out details as they wander t...

Re: Simple(ish) initiative homebrew

I'm in the "10 ain't enough slots for a 6p table" crowd. but in no way do I want to add any more teeth to the cards than they already have, and I prefer to shuffle less often, especially with how fast rounds snap by... So I'm using a standard French suited bridge/poker deck, with jokers. w...

Re: Encumbrance of excess weapons? Unworn Armor?

I note from the rules that the first 3 don't count... but I've two players with 4-6 weapons (and placed in ways I can legitimately see as reasonable for drawing from). The simplest case being the bandolier of 6 knives. Another has sword, shield, dagger, and spear... Likewise, what's the enc of unwo...

Re: Encumbrance of excess weapons? Unworn Armor?

I think, then, it's going to be Armor: Enc = AV unless worn - to prevent people hoarding it. (which they already are, given the not-quite TPK last session.) excess Weapons: Long =2, most others 1, daggers only 1 for a brace of up to 6; slings none. I made a call tonight that the backpack itself hold...
