Therefore, Strength and Telekinesis should not designate weight, but rather the size catagory of objects you can pick up, and have damage done not by feet fallen but by object size of the falling object A medium sized weapon does 2d6 damage, therefore a medium sided creature impacting earth takes 2d...

SenZar

Published in '97 by the now defunct Nova Eth, the SenZar RPG is proported to be the power gamer's mecca in print form. I have been looking for this game for close to 3 years. Apparently it still exists out there for downloading on the internet, but my Google-Fu is weak. Anyway and long story short: ...

In D&D 3.5, are targeted spells not involving an attack roll such as charm monster and spells that affect a specific number of targets within an area such as mass suggesstion subject to a miss chance when they target an opponent under the effects of blur, displacement, invisibility, or mirror im...

well, 3 sessions in to a champions game, I'm really liking my magneto rip-off, except when we fight discorporating vampires, which we fight - all - ThE - TIME. whatever. The system is rather arcane, but it is quite fun once you get into the swing of things.

Though away from my books, I believe that drawing a hidden weapon is a standard action, as indicated in the skill description, but drawing a hidden weapon as a free action carries like a -10 or -20 modifier; the specific modifier is located in a table in the sleight of hand skill description.

The Borg is on D+D warfooting with the rest of the galaxy. Seriously, they have the biggest galatic empire and occupy 1/4 of the galaxy (half the delta and half the beta quadrant). The reason why we only ever see one cube at a time reach earth is that is all the resources they can spare . That one c...

Re: ST/WH40K wanky fanboy question.

Okay, say that you were a Star Trek kind of captain during the end of the TNG/VOY/DS9 run with all of the technology and whatnot. You not only had full access to the resources of the Federation, but because you had access to some kind of technobabble you could conjure up as much material or personn...

I'd chalk that up to that transporting antimatter is dangerous in trek, and is seriously done by tanker starships . Transporting a photon torpedo into a vessel is dangerous as it risks an infintesmal leak of anit-matter on the transporter pad or inside the pattern buffer or when transmited from the ...

The problem with Trek vs. Imperium is a matter of scale ,where Treck needs to be THIS tall to even compete, and it isn't. The Federation seriously occupies one quater of a quarter of the galaxy, while the Imperium sits on the resources of 3/4ths of a galaxy. Trek has cloaking devices, and can attack...
