As a GM, with a roll of natural 1 and so many bonus points all for naught, the fail must be EPIC! More than the stereotypical "expert makes rookie mistake" scenario... more like reputation-shatteringly "never work in this town again" bad. The joys of the die, it can give, just a...

Brain fart late at night, LOL! As that would require the use of an ATT

I'd prefer a cybernetic dire prairie dog! Charge into battle as it shouts "Yahoo!"

SPD used to count toward dodge in TMNT and 1E PFRPG and non-revised N&S. I just still use the tables since fast twitch muscles are used for more than just running. Yeah, I still use Speed for the Initiative bonus too! As for parrying, I allow characters unarmed to try to parry an armed melee at...

I totally have them roll, but in this scenario, I'd also grant them the a +4 bonus for an incapacitated victim, as well as the +3 from the H2H, so total of +7, not factoring in the class/racial/P.P./W.P. bonuses yet even...

And then laugh on a natural 1.

I use AR as a damage buffer, don't bypass, damage to armor as normal. Bypass it, the armor absorbsl the damage first (reduce damage by A.R. rating, but no SSDC damage as normal) If you have natural AR, the damage is reduced by the AR rating first. Don't bypass natural AR, no damage as usual to the b...

Sadly only thing we got that's semi-official, for many questions, like missing bonuses and OCCs from the books.

Nightlords trying to take over would want to limit access to education, so their political minions would over the decades, reduce education funds, limit information in textbooks. Easier to take over the Earth if the populace is dumb and uneducated. While the invasion is hyped up after Dark Day, it's...

They're thousands of years old, they've got nothing to do but study, since they're relatively safe in the Nightlands, being at the top of the food chain. Them understanding common elements and compound objects that can be naturally found shouldn't be too hard, at least if it existed at their time on...

The Dhampir's greatest aspect is their Natural Armor Rating and semi-invulnerability, but that leaves magic and psionics as exploits/weaknesses. How effective they are depends on your campaign. A heavy magic/psionic-focused one, and they'll be fodder without the correct set of vampiric powers chosen...

Mimicking spells, Nightlords are equivalent to 10th Level spellcasters, so you use that to figure out the durations, like Circle of Flame and Globe of Daylight , while other spell-like power uses, like Dimensional Portal would use the Nightlords ' level as the determinate for the mimicked power, as ...

I use the Induce Pain psionic power, from the Healing category (Nightbane, pg. 83)

I'd say no, as otherwise even the weakened form is powered in some way, and kind of defeats the purpose of having the Achilles' Heel. It's similar to the Mystically Bestowed weakness of the requirement to transform. If you do give the power, like say regeneration, an alternative is maybe it works sl...

Damage broken down is +1 per 5 MPH of Speed (equivalent to a Speed of 8, which is 5.5 MPH), doesn't matter if they are a powered speedster or just naturally fast.

Largest in-person group was decades ago for AD&D: 2nd Edition ! We did 26 players and had three DMs running it. It was such a horrible experience and a round of combat was like 2-hours long!!! When I started my play-by-post game in a Facebook group a few years ago, it was for a Heroes Unlimited ...
