Adam of the Old Kingdom

I promised to buy any new Palladium Fantasy release that was published.

That was 2003.

Adam of the Old Kingdom

well as far as all that goes, the PF world is not that far advanced yet. The peoples still rely on magic more then technology to get the job done, and IMHO, thats how I prefer it. When you get right down to it, there is a very simple reason why people prefer magic to technology: magic had one Hel o...

My wish list: Wolfen Wars (Longest promised) Old Kingdom (Both books) Land of the Damned 3 Yin-Sloth Jungle (reprint in 2nd edition) I thought Old Kingdoms was longest Promised.

oh yes, just as Goliath said, full stats for Bosses, and significant NPCs.

Adam of the Old Kingdom

I see. PB distributes it's Feats and class abilities differently. BAB is now part of HtH and WPs as well as a couple of other skills, like boxing. some Feats are part of WPs and others are OCC abilities. that is how I see the structure of special abilities in the 2 rule sets. so making a table of Ht...

Adam of the Old Kingdom

generic stats.

except for leaders and special guys, bosses or such, mooks will likely only be as good as there WP and HtH type and level.

if you table ise it, you can throw in the PP dice so you can roll or decide if a bonus is apt at the time.

Arrrgh... this is making me want to write an article on Elves in Palladium, now, or try pitching a "Races of Palladium" book to Kevin. I would definitely purchase a series of "Races of Palladium" supplements! (incase the marketing department is listen) It wouldn't be a series; I...

I'd love to get a "Rift Dimention book: Fantasy Races" by Mr Nexx, it would rawk.

that was a joke, my real prediction is No books, but that may have to be revised to no new books if Yin Sloth 2nd ed makes it past the editors desk.

Adam of the Old Kingdom

It's been said before and I'll say it again. PF will follow the Path of Robotech. in 2008 we will get 3 books, then in 2011 PB will drop the licence. PF isn't a license. that's part of the joke. it was 1st raised a couple of years ago, (2005?) that PB would abandon PF officialy, like it did to Robo...

taken at book value only, the various fighter classes are only different by virtue of the OCC spicific skills. the Attributes can apply to any Class, the Attribute requirements are never in the bonus area and thus have no mechanical effect, only by GM Fiat. and may classes, through skill point spend...

1) When someone parries does his weapon take the damage dealt? No, but if they block with a shield then the shield takes 10% of the damage. where does it say this? WP Shield. It is an optional rule that I use, but it is in the book. The book also talks about shields just getting roughed up and only...

Adam of the Old Kingdom

i just looked at the rules, they are too rigid, so lets cut and paste. the time to draw a circle is 15 minutes, (simple circles of protection take 5) thats 60 combat rounds (or 20 for simple). the GM may want to cut that back based on the fact that a skill will be used to deturmin quality of wark an...

I've just started to get into the PFRPG. I'm almost finished reading the 2nd edition corebook. Here are some questions I have so far: 1) When someone parries does his weapon take the damage dealt? 2) If an enemy rolls under the AR and hits the damage goes into the armour right? 3) Ogres rape and ma...

Ihave found that untill the players can offord, weightless and noiseless, the plate armour does not become a factor except in times of great battle.

once a psycic always a psycic to me. i have allowed characters/ players to change to another occ but in doing so their psycic powers were forever frozen for duration and damage type stuff. sounds reasonable.

Citizen Lazlo wrote:What no Bearmen!?!?!?!?!?!

As far as I am concerned they are one of the most overlooked races.

when I saw Eandroth I thought, hell yeah.
but then I thought, maybe it's just the core book.
bearmen and Kankoran are noteworthy omitions from that list.

or the knowledge was lost, for what to apply it's name to.

or maybe, being powerful, civilised people bay have avoided to horror that word could bring.

I hypothysise more, all of which are seeds for adventure, lost magics, evil sects, lots of bad stuff.

Adam of the Old Kingdom

I realize it might not have a bearing on Palladium fantasy... but Rifts Ultimate Edition gives a 10%+2% per level chance for any literate mage to be able to learn a spell from a scroll; unless a particualr OCC lists different chances. it's sort of valid. GM/house rules, applied with care, are what ...

wizards are magic scollars, they study magic energy to understand it and manipulate it. Diabolists are also scallars but their branch is the magic of symbols and languages vile. warlocks are elemental hippies. they do not rely on their superior knowledge but on this link they have to a primal force ...

the Chrinicles are a plot device.
there are only bits as hooks for adventures or to give history to things, like the older races.

there is no one book of the cronicles, just snippets through all the books, 1st and 2nd ed.

Adam of the Old Kingdom

I thought it was earlier than that. yes, Island at the edge of the world has part of it's adventure set in the old kingdom mountains. does not say much but can give you some hints at what the area is like. western empire has good infor about the western old kindom (lowlands) and what the western emp...

Adam of the Old Kingdom

No RTUE, thank you.

RT had a special feel with it's cut down rules. I'd like it kept that way.

if Erik (sp) is doing the flavour it should be good but we need to be mindful of how the rules are used.

Sorry, heard it all before.

I will not get my hopes up untill I see the magic words "it's back from the printers"

at least we are on schedule for 3 to 4 books in 2008 and then we are ready to hit our 2011 target.

no, really I do hope we gt some books.

if you want to be a stickler for it, the maximum damage for the weapon shouldn't be changed, but i can see where the probable damage or average damage could stay the same and the changing of the rolling of the dice to determine damage wouldn't matter. i think from the examples adam of the kingdom s...

Adam of the Old Kingdom

Three reasons why I prefer Palladium to D&D : 1 = No level limits to species other than human, and restrictions to character class are done only if there is a legitimate reason (ie: dragons can't be CS grunts, because the CS kills dragons, & dwarves from the Palladium world refuse to learn ...

yeah, i'm unsure if you could soul drink a god or not. i think i said this on a different string but i don't think that souldrinking should be an automatic kill & doing double damage is a better alternative but still a bit excessive if you rolled a critical strike on top of it. i prefer using s...

Adam of the Old Kingdom

my understanding of the rules is. Shields are classified as weapons they only take damage if targeted. Shields are viable recipients of master working (dwarven etc) and magic properties. Shields need to be replaced every 6 months or so as they deteriate from use. (no mechanic for this, just GMs disc...

yes, while the mechanics don't cover seige weapons specificly, it is (un)common sense to not be easy to parry a ballista. ("You're going to backstab him, with a balista?")

I liked the CWAC stuff, in principle. I did not agree with the damages and such but I did use it as a reference when porting rules and stuff to get a PB standard.
