Thank you! Yes. There is also spells that dont have attached strike roll, like call lightning. If you dont use armor on call lightning you can apply instant death with high level mage. So I at least applied saving throw and strike roll on these spells.

tmbn

I am running 1Ed rules and just wonder how you guys do it with AR when someone is hit by a 1D6 magic fireball by a mage? Do you throw strike for the Fireball? Does the fireball only damage armour since no strike? Or does it always go directly on hit points? I cant seem to find any information on how...

Say a player would buy Magic Items Fleet feet, Strength of Utgard Loki, Size of Behmoth and Invisibility. And actvate them all at ones. He would be unstopable and have way much power. If players come across much money and think they would raid the Alchemist I will always set some restrictions on wha...

Anyone knows any online stores I can buy this book with shipment to Europe? I can't find a place to buy it Edit: I tried the Palladium Fantasy Online store, but they have the lousiest shipment deal in US with $41 in shipment cost. I asked for several years if they could get a better deal for oversea...

The Capitol of Peningshir is not mapped in the booked.

A lot is missing in the books.... Raf-Chalon etc. Maps are not good for the land with missing cities. The book seems to be made in a hurry and would need a follow up. You could actually make a book on only the southern peninsula.

tmbn

Keep up the spirit Hotrod. Your maps are great! Really looking forward to a map of Eastern Territory.

tmbn

Here is the full book. If someone wants to use this setting with Raf-Chalon. Change Humans with Elfs.

We used the whole Lankhmar series to fill in the hole that Palladium Books left us in Land of the South Winds. So basically we use Lankhmar as capital of South Winds and have filled in the land around. But it is a very good series and could be use in many settings. The City is big and can be placed ...

Thank you guys! Glistam: That was also my thought. That initiativ was king. Or else there would be almost no point with initiativ. On a second hand it also feels little bit awkward that the second attacker would not be able to take advantage of they being more than one. Also that defender (A) would ...

I have a question regarding a 2 against 1 combat sequence. I wonder how you play when there are more than one opponent. Lets say you have A, B1 and B2 fighting against each other. B1 and B2 is on same team. B1 have first initiativ. A second initiativ. and B2 third initiativ. Scenario 1: B1 start wit...

Wolfens are highly intelligent and being like Romans I would belive they have no problems with supply chains building a network of roads and going crazy with watchtowers and walls. They would have a structure society with specialists having different roles dedicated to handling logistics during peac...

Old Kingdoms of course. With dwarf strongholds.
Second Eastern og Western book. A lot of more information could be added.
Adventure books.

Cocoon of stone is a very good spell against river of lava and quicksand etc.

Usually my player group have about 4-5 NPC's in their group and on important battles I do some dice roll on them. But when the player group battle 10 Orc's I usually dont want to waste time rolling on all the NPC's. So I have some % rolls to see if they win their match or not. Most of the time it se...

After getting a bunch of work done on another project, I'm back on Timiro, making and placing icons. Some of my icons are straight out of ones I've used in past maps for ruins, cities, towns, the Place of Magic, and capital cities. I'm making a new icon for walled cities and castles/forts. I'm not ...

Okay. Grange is officially on the old kingdom side. As is Raf-Chalon. Annoying but logical. What is Raf-Chalon? could I get a book and page number. This also means that I have to find a new spot for the badguys to go in a story I'm writing(the badguys have kidnapped a Wolfen Diplomatic convoy and t...

The Elven Kingdom of Raf-Chalon is mentioned settled between Wisdom and Penington family in the Eastern Territory. So there is Elven kingdom mentioned with very little information. Is there some more information about this Kingdom somewhere else in the books? Or, how do you play this kingdom? Is it...

We are playing it like the New Zeeland wilderness like the LOTR seettings. Its a perfect match with big river (Old kingdom river) high mountains to the north and plains and forest in the lowlands. In my setting we have Old dwarven cities in some of the mountains. Some still active. Also Dwarven mine...

Cities would be great. But I dont think we need all the citites on high scale. Then show only the biggest cities. Also cities dont need to be scalable with the map. Just show where the cities are.

Hotrod! Just want to say that you are doing great work!! And looking forward to see the end result on all of your maps so that we can actually download and use them. Thank you very much!!

Revised FoM - another fav. Megaverse in Flames! All books eventually. I would love to see more Fant...

Thanks all for your advice. It seems to be hard to get Palladium books overall in Europe. Even Amazon and Ebay I could not find Bizantium and the Northern Islands. So maybe I just have to buy it with the shipping cost that is more expansive than the book itself.

tmbn

I agree with answers above. In general immobilize is not used that much because you cant attack the ones in the immobilize field. Becuase everything will be immobilized. So on persons, creatures Paralyze bolt is better. Because then you can attack the poor victim just standing there. I think Immobil...

Wow! These maps are great. But what happened to the end product? Is there somewhere we can download this aswome scalable map ?

Also is there a World map somewhere with all the major cities on the map. Also including wolfen cities ?

A healer could be a very important player character or NPC and be the difference from life and death with many great powers. But somehow I feel the Healer is underpowered and also just have spells to level 3. A Healer could be so much more. He should at least have spells like heal burns, restoration...

Yes. The stores here don't run Palladium. Some years back i got them to buy palladium books but that is over now. Also as McPherson states, I dont have many people to buy with. I really want to buy the books from the official store, but with those shipping prices its too expensive. So if anybody hav...

Why is shipping price on books extremly high in the Palladium book store for shipping outside US ? The cheapest shipping price was $54 dollar. Thats twice the cost of the book!?! I see other stores that have much cheaper shipping prices. Over half that price. I want to buy books, but not with these ...

Great post Glitterboy! Back to the first question of how a Wolfen city would look like and roman influences. Romans didnt care much for Scandinavia so I think we need to look at towns in Germany (Germania) and England. Also as Glitterboy said. Also since they would build more north and with the wast...

About Spell damage and AR. So what you say is that spell damage will never go on SDC, just directly to Hit points ? Of course you could add the Strike for Wizard, but how is the rule from the book interpret 1 ed. ? How do you determine if spell damage should go to SDC or Hit points ? As written the...

tmbn

As written it wouldn't matter, an automatic hit is an automatic hit. If the GM wanted to alter it, I'd say make a straight strike roll (maybe adding the mage's spell strength bonus the roll) to see if that beats the A.R... For me an instance like Call Lightning would essentially be an area affect a...

tmbn

About one shot or instant kill or whatever you want to call it. Let say half damage from dices so a 10th level wizard with 2 spell attack would produce: 10x1-6d = 30 (60 maximum) x 2 = 60 damage (120 maximum) to hit points. That I would say is often istant kill. Anyway i totally agree that its the G...

tmbn

Yes. There is SDC in first edition. But you cant count SDC as protection when damage is above AR. If damage is above AR all the damage will hit the hitpoints. So Armor will have no effect on the lightning from a 10th level wizard if the damage roll is above AR. Also, A Wizard can throw more than on...

tmbn

I was looking over this spell the other day. Call Lightning is a Air Warlock spell you can hit persons with lightning and the person gets 1D6 in damage per level of the spell caster. But wait a minute... What?? No saving throw, no dodge, no nothing to defend yourselves with. So that means a 10th le...

This was actually posted in the wrong spot . Nevertheless it words still ring true. A year ago everyone was up in arms that there wasn't a new Palladium Fantasy book on the shelf since Mysteries of Magic (2009) which some people were not happy with, so that means LotD2 (2002) was the last book for ...

tmbn

Thanks to all for good answers! I very much like the one about giving up your position and also only use outside. Still I will add saving throw to this spell. Or its just to easy to use on poor souls.

How about rubber boots

tmbn

Also in 2nd edition, it isn't insta-death with SDC. The damage isn't direct to HP. Sure, a 1st level goblin is probably going to be fried. However, you are typically (if the GM is decent) going up against enemies of roughly similar level (or higher) depending on number of PCs and NPCs versus protag...

tmbn

Hmm, even in the Rifts Book of Magic and the original Conversion Book 1, the warlock call lightning doesn't have a saving throw. Even back in 1st edition the spell had no saving throw. The saving throw is actually a recent addition to the spell. I always put it down as the warlock version was far m...

if you want fun a 10th level fire warlock with mini fireballs was more fun, 10 shots of 10d4 damage per casting. The limiting factor to these was spells per day.

Ok! I see this thread is far off topic. Because of the attacks per melee is not incremental and it levels out the added ones, I use 5 attacks per melee on Undead hunter on 11.

Give one of the bad guys plasma sponge, he sucks all the heat out of the lava and shoots it back at them, or put a wall up in front of ROL caster for backwash effect, and of course getting fire immune monkeys to throw lava poo at them would be amusing too.
