The Gaming Den

He is not an Aboleth, he has no actual ability to create terrain advantage and minions. Creating a Wall of Fire is arguably a method of establishing Zones of Control. It is also terrain advantage due to the fiend's natural immunity. A small point, for clarity sake, but I don't disagree with you. Th...

It does essentially tell you that a company of archers can kill virtually anything in the game in like two rounds, tops. For the genre that is D&D and epic fantasy fiction, that's quite disappointing. This goes double for the natural consequence that most monsters need to hide in shadows/dungeo...

The Pit Fiend is smart. It should use his walls of fire to screen the archers, then use its mobility to maximize the number of opponents in it's fear aura & reach, while using at-will fireballs for environmental damage or cluster-bombing grouped opponents. Granted, your example is using skeleton...

There is one set of each die, because that's redbox retro. It fulfills the minimum needs of running the game, at minimum cost to both the manufacturer and the consumer. All entry level products, across every market, since the dawn of marketing, have been designed to satisfy the needs of the curious ...

Can't remember, been lurking for a...

The points presented previously referenced earlier editions of RQ and BRP games in general. As for your second point, yes, it seems you can game the system to get free +1's. Haven't had this edition for long enough to perceive this as a lucrative exploit. Fumble grenade throwing to get better at thr...

My question was, is the DC going to be 100 all the time. If yes, then the hack works with almost zero changes (weapon jams and critical failures occur 1-10 instead of 91-100 and crits happen on 95-100 instead of 1-5.). Mathematically, yes. The Standard check would be 100, and to extend the example ...

Also, if you only get "experience rolls" when the GM says you do anyway, it's easy to replace the entire concept with a more honest and straightforward rule: telling the GM to just hand out free skill points whenever he feels they're appropriate. More or less how RQ6 works and the mechani...
