I agree that Fire Sorcerer is the way to go on the magic side, and I also agree that something like Man-At-Arms is a better fit than Soldier. ...

DEF 18 sure is challenging, but I prefer to stack both DEF and ARM buffs, and for that you need to stay in faction. Fenns with Iron Flesh and...

Care to share a link to what you are talking about for those who don't already know?

Off the top of my head... Cygnar --CRS - Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service - the special forces/spies Khador --Greylords Covenant - wizard...

Batman is tough to translate into an RPG because he basically does everything very well, and in an RPG a core feature is that nobody does everything...

IT'S A TRAP!!! Heh.... yeah, I couldn't help myself. Interesting basics for traps, and a good framework for designing your own. I wish there...

Clearly these are for players not GMs, so there's no need to say they fall short for a GM's purposes. They very obviously do, but just as much as a...

As a rock climber myself, I'd like to weigh in on this. Firstly overland speed has nothing to do with vertical speed. So I don't think the SPD...

My advice is less about what to buy specifically and more related to how to buy. You say that nobody plays near you. So, who are you planning on...

TL : DR - 3 paragraphs on why character motivation is super important, then one paragraph on how that could apply to your ideas Whatever direction...

I think a party made up of Widowmakers is a great theme within a campaign! Widowmakers are great, thematic and iconic Khadoran symbols of war. ...

Alchemist/Thief honestly isn't a combat powerhouse. Yes grenades can be powerful, but they are expensive as attacks go, so you really don't want to...

None that I've seen. There is a pretty wide range of power. Some of the dedicated combat careers are crazy deadly, and some of the more social...

I'm not really sure what you mean by "standard fantasy." Are you referring to Tolkien's world? D&D dungeon crawls? Exploring ancient sites has...

Well, to be honest, nearly any career could be a part of a smuggling operation. I suppose you could make the argument that Priests probably aren't...

The RPG is set at 608 AR as a baseline - however it's very easy to slide that timeframe by.. probably a decade either way.. with little or no work at...

Great question! It's one that has been asked a few times around here, often with the "hint hint PP, I'd pay money for this" preface. Short answer...

Thanks guys! Sosthenes - yeah, I'm not going to use Burning Wheel combat. If I go that far I may as well just tell the players we're switching...

Add a shield? Light 'jacks with shields can reach ARM 18 which is pretty impressive. Toss on Aura of Protection and you're sitting pretty at ARM 20!

You've got to keep in mind that all game rules are an abstraction to some degree. Maybe it would be a little more realistic if the reach weapons...

I agree with the above posts, the rules do not place any limit upon the cost of the spells that you learn through normal advancement. Figure you...

I can't think of any reason not to have mechanika in a 'jack size using the exact same rules. It still has the housing, capacitor and runeplate. ...

I like the non-uber weapons. Reminds me of the NQ article that listed a bunch of weapons that were really tools for various jobs (hammers and such)....

My big challenge for duration of a battle is managing the high damage characters as compared to the low damage characters. I've got two characters...

Currently there are no rules for what you're describing, but Cryx stuff is probably pretty alien to most folk in the Iron Kingdom. So... do you...

Here's my thought: Initially, attaching a bayonet to a pistol gets this done with no extra work. In fact, the bayonet already has rules for being...

Are you looking for a cosmetic monkey, or a helpful monkey? By that I mean, do you want this monkey to provide a bonus to Mechanikal Engineering...

I think they get a pretty poor rap because of the comparison to Aiyana & Holt. The funny thing to me is that in some ways they are pretty similar. ...

I'm sure Ord will be covered in detail in the next book. However, from what I remember from the World Guide, Ord's military isn't really "bad." It...
