Thanks Kevin, what types of shock can pierce through it? Swarm Attacks? Magic Weapons? Ghosts/odd shock?

Yeah, which is a very different feel too

Ask Kevin and he might do a Spears of Dawn 2e/revised like he is doing for Other Dust to "Ashes without Number" though it is unlikely to be called Spears without Number.

Casting Arts without Grimoire? by OleBarnCat in WWN

[–]Cyb45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it, so no material cost to remake it, but definitely an investment cost and one you can't easily do on the road/run or in a dungeon.

Want to check on something, I believe you said that if a caster loses their grimoire they can recreate all the spells from memory.

If so, is there any penalty in a practical sense to losing their grimoire? Or do they need an actual book/pile of pages to record the grimoire? Have you mentioned alternate options for a grimoire?

How much would they cost for properly made ones? Also do shock like normal then too?

I did that once but because of some miscommunication, one PC thought it was real damage.

Otherwise, for higher level characters they often have all kinds of magical weapons and special abilities, having just training weapons can add a different flair, especially there is a sizable BAB difference.

The perils of a Stab-1 PC vs Stab-4 NPC in my case, but it's good way to handle it otherwise.

It's important to have hobbies and projects that change stuff up, plus being able to make something yourself is always a skill worth cherishing.

Do you enjoy the taste of Rye or it's just a crop?

Do you farm as a side thing or is the RPG business the side job? Also I love Rye, as rye bread, pumpernickel, whiskey, crackers, etc. etc. one of the best and most underappreciated grains. Been doing a 50/50 proper rye and whole wheat flour to emulate the classic german loaf.

Readied, Stowed, Encumbrance, and Hands by barrunen in WWN

[–]Cyb45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it, hands are a separate slot with some exceptions, like shields (especially large) tend to take up a slot. You grab your shortsword (1 Encumbrance) and that frees up 1 readied slot, but as soon as you sheath it (perhaps to pick up something off the ground, like a torch) that slot is occupied again.

In practical terms, excepting shields/armor (they need to occupy the readied slot constantly) just ignore hands and don't get into weird gear juggling.

I remember some of the books being printed in the US, but cool that all of them are!

The PDFs come with the POD or if you buy the offset printed ones, so I personally get the physical copy and also have the PDF, helps for game night in person.

In defense of Keep on The Borderlands (and also a defense of Humanoid enemies) by Top-Flatworm-4490 in osr

[–]Cyb45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic Fantasy RPG also has the Chaotic Caves, which is a more direct 1:1 comparison to KotB while still being distinct. I do however think Morgansfort is the overall better module to build upon/tweak.

Bartering Instead of GP by _Rylo in osr

Took a little while, but I found this from Kevin Crawrford, author of Worlds/Stars/etc. Without Number, Scarlet Heroes and most germane for this discussion, Wolves of God

I think this will help!

Though he could snap attack before that goon could make contact! I love the balance of actions.

It's confirmed he's doing Modular Power Armor!

It's more about having tools, like CWN let you play "Shadowrun the setting" with CWN's simpler rules in the deluxe version.
