Have we seen the most advanced dwarven cities from before the Elf-Dwarf war... or merely the more distant outposts? Just because we haven't seen advanced magi-tech items of dwarven manufacture doesn't mean that they didn't exist. The Elf-Dwarf War raged for thousands of years and ended some seven t...

Does anyone remember that old point and click adventure game "Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis"?
Maybe more like that?

RavenStarver

Stating out a ruined dwarves hold and I'm wondering just how advanced they were 10,000 years ago. Were they using full Magi-Tech stuff like floating platforms as elevators and trams? We know the elves had flying ships.

RavenStarver

Just a quick question that came up in my group. How long would it take a female Wolfen to have kids? Like how long is the pregnancy?

Thank you so much, this has been a thorn in my side for a while now.

Do you know roughly where in the book?

RavenStarver

So I've looked through all the books I have and I can't seem to find a price for silvered weapons anywhere, only that magical classes start with them sometimes.
Am I just blind and keep missing them?
Any help is appreciated.

Going off what people have already said, your average peasant is not going to be trying to fight back against an Ogre. The average Ogre will not only have an 18 or so strength, they'll also have about 30 SDC whereas a peasant only has about 3 (non Men-At-Arms classes only getting 1d6). So the Ogre h...

RavenStarver

So after some checking around it appears that none of my players frequent these forums at all, so spoilers can abound! Essentially I've repurposed the Tri-Fang adventure to take place in the Eastern Territory. So far they have recovered the artifacts and delivered them to the villains without realiz...

RavenStarver

I would have the last bandit force attack them first, as part of the 'consolidating' their territory as you say. UNLESS this mysterious force from the south might be able to make a deal with these bandits and join forces or manipulate them into doing some of their dirty work. Just as the heroes thi...

RavenStarver

Oh I forgot to mention, the Knight has spent a fair portion of the game either press ganging bandits into his mercenary army, or recruiting for his mercenary army, and currently has about 120 fighting men and women.

RavenStarver

So my party recently finished off the last campaign arc, killed the bandit lord, took his keep for themselves, and passed fourth level. I'm trying to decide on what to do for the next session, we've already discussed that they'll have about a month or two of downtime in-game as they consolidate thei...

RavenStarver

I wouldn't think it would, as a lot of their spells specify that they don't work on magical weapons. Really that's the only balancing factor given the Blade Mage, those guys are scary as all heck. I mean, armed with a dwarves claymore and this guy can do almost as much damage as a greater rune weapon.

RavenStarver

Kind of a silly question really, but has it been mentioned anywhere what the styles of these ancient empires where? Are Elven ruins these grandiose, soaring, gothic style structures? Where the Dwarves super blocky and geometric in their designs? Also what level of magi tech did they have? It's menti...

so that's probably killed and skinned and they are just about to start trimming. (Its hanging up on hooks)

That sounds a lot more reasonable, and makes peasants able to afford them.

RavenStarver

Found this on-line. So, in other words, you start with a 1200 pound steer, which has a dressing percent of 63%, so that you have a 750 pound carcass. From that you will get about 65% of the carcass weight, or roughly 490 pounds, as boneless, trimmed beef. The prices for meat are listed in 2 lb. inc...

RavenStarver

I can't find stats or cost for cattle anywhere, cows, bulls, nothing. Any idea what book these might be in?

RavenStarver

depends on how harsh the terrain is. If food is plentiful and winters mild you would have ~200 women and ~200 men and ~50 kids (from baby to teen) With mild conditions there would be more old and young so there would be less fighters. So maybe 120-170 hunter/fighters maybe 10-30 craftsmen about the...

RavenStarver

Writing up an area and I'd like to have a tribe of nomads of mixed races in the plains the party is passing through. The area is about two hundred and fifty square miles that they hold, all plains and rolling hills with only scattered copses of trees. About five hundred of them in the tribe, but her...

RavenStarver

A pretty quick question, would you class a Coyle as a medium, or Large? Wolfen would be large, but they range from 7-10 feet, and a Coyle ranges from 6-8 feet, so they are almost identical in size.... Greetings and Salutations. For the purposes of the spell, I'd say "large." My reason...

RavenStarver

One of my players in the Palladium Fantasy game I am funning just took control of a tribe of Coyle barbarians after defeating their leader in single combat, so I've started adapting some of my plot points to revolve around larger engagements. I'm curious if anyone has used these rules before? If the...

I love the Northern Wilderness as a location and this looks fantastic and I can't wait to see the outcome!

RavenStarver

AFAIK isn't the flaming sword/knife just a hilt with flame for the blade hence the special impervious to fire sheath to contain the flame? Basically... But the idea that you can turn the flame on/off like the popular "energy sword" of fiction doesn't seem far fetched and since many other ...

RavenStarver

As I see it your villagers have numbers on their side, but you better determine how many are non-combatant woman and children not likely to have any combat prowess, and assuming the attackers will not strike from the sea, these people are likely to take to the boats for safety during the attack. Al...

RavenStarver

Has nobody used these in a game? I find that surprising

RavenStarver

It's best answered by you but here are some helpful questions 1. How many of the Villagers can/will fight 2. How good are they 3. How well equipped are they 4. How many are humans/coyles/kobolds etc 5. Does the village have a wall/defences 6. Does the village have potential reinforcements and do th...

Just to mess with them, you should have troll tracks when they go to check it out.....make them think either its trolls and wolfen or the miss read what they saw.......trolls are scarier what the rapey orcs under there command I know you meant "crappy" I've done that several times already...

RavenStarver

If the town builds a wall that is at least 18 ft tall id give them alot more of an edge. The town is bound to have 3 or 4 possible more rangers maybe lv 5 or higher for hunting and such, they will be a great boon when it comes to bows alone. The town should have at least a few with boxing and hth b...

Is fish oil very flammable? If so they could have a lot of molotov cocktails on hand

RavenStarver

With 20 fighters and maybe 100 others (out of the total population of about 300, the "others" represent those physically capable of fighting, but lack training), against 200 coyles, you're looking at a pretty nasty fight, likely to be very heavily slanted against the villagers. But, avera...

RavenStarver

They have the terrain advantage, they can use it if they have to. Granted, they also have an attacking army that has very little advantage. The only advantage they have is, the size of their army. And heck, size is not always an advantage. Not to those who can think outside the box. I wish I was pl...

RavenStarver

First off, what are the characters? Secondly, I would give the a visual to work with...I suggest using minis for the battle...be they cardstock or what ever...that away you can allow them to have control of their men. See the website drivethrurpg.com for some minis. Characters, we've got a Wolfen k...

ok, fun...critical planning time. how long do you have? how are the raiders coming? on land, by boats, etc? do the raiders have horses? any archers? how about using the terrain (digging pits, causing rock slides, setting up a log roll, and thngs like that)? is there a wall around said village? if a...

Working on the next development in my campaign, an army of Coyle barbarians are going to assault the village the players are using as a base, and I need an idea of what the average villagers stats would be. It's a fishing village for context, about 200-250 people, mix of humans, orcs, coyles, wolfen...

Where is this "Knight Ladder" that people speak of?

RavenStarver

I didn't see anyone mention this so I'll jump in! Pool party! Surprisingly enough there is actually a canon rule for using oversized weapons in the Fantasy books. It's probably in the stupidest spot ever but it is there. In the Eastern Territory book, top left of page 224 its talking about Stone Gol...

This came up because I'm converting the Catacombs of Dragonwright from the Yin-Sloth book, and there's a rune dagger in there. But it's kind of just off to the side in the Magot arena, not actually part of a treasure trove and easily missed if they dodge the creature and don't search. So I was wonde...

RavenStarver

So, do they only talk to their wielder?
I seem to remember in the Pirate Cave adventure in Northern Wilderness the rune weapons talk to the players like "pick me up", "I can help" stuff like that.

Use the Nightbane versions of Fireball and Call Lightning then, and just convert those damages 1:1 from S.D.C. to M.D.C..

Wow. Night bane magic is much beefier than the Fantasy spells.

RavenStarver

Yeah, fire ball is significantly underpowered for its level. To house-rule? Or not to house-rule? That is the question? Probably not too big of a deal, there's no casters in the party, I was just writing up some enemies. A secret society who train their soldiers with various spell and psionic abili...

RavenStarver

Okay, reading through the Fantasy 2nd ed book and it looks like Call is lightyears better than Fireball. Better range, harder to dodge, why would you pick fireball other than it's fire and players always love fire? Am I missing something? It says "Creates a large fire ball". Would that imp...
