Re: Familiar

I like a lot of that (summoning a spirit to possess an existing creature is a nice, dark touch), but permanent WP sacrifice seems like a steep cost given that you could lose it forever if it gets into a fight..! that's pretty standard for BRP/RQ derivatives. If not a bit low. RQ3 (1984 - AH edition...

Re: T-shirts

I'd not mind one... but there are several other equally good works inside...

Re: Shift Rest and Baths

Very valid points! Thanks you both for your insight! You're welcome! One other thought... Weaknesses. Noting that they need not be restricted to the table... Vain characters would probably want a bath so they can get compliments. Other, non-table, weaknesses could very strongly encourage bathing. R...

Re: Why is Golem associated with Demons?

Medieval and early Renaissance Christian theology tended to consider the Jews in quite a negative light... and esoteric Judaism even worse. Likewise, it was considered that the ultimate sin was to try to do "what only god can do: create life." Creating golems was explained in some Christia...

Re: Shift Rest and Baths

As per pg. 80 of the current version of the Rules, one can buy " Bath at an inn " as a service, healing a Condition of their choice during a stretch. At the same time, a Shift rest heals all Conditions, and a Stretch rest heals one Condition. Would you consider an inn to be a safe enough ...

Re: 1e D&D conversion guidelines?

I've been thinking to do the same. From what I remember AD&D loosely ranked its monsters by Hit Dice which roughly matched their levels, though beasties with extra powers would be bumped up a level or two. I have yet to play DB, but from what I'm reading it has more in common with RuneQuest tha...

Re: MONSTERS STANDEE SET LIST

There are 63 monsters in the book and 64 standees so I’m guessing it’s likely one per or close to it. I could of course be wrong, but it’s a guess in lieu of official word. Then again; considering the overlap with the core set maybe some are duplicates, and others are skipped? This is actually part...

Re: Thoughts on Free Attacks

I am curious if anyone else is house ruling these free attacks. I never liked these in 5e, and to me, they really don't fit into the Dragonbane mechanics. The general principle in Dragonbane is *one combat action per initiative card*. Free attacks break that, and for no good reason as far as I can ...
