The Game Master Kits would be great... if only they weren't PDF only..

jade von delioch

Yes, we need a GM Screen. Maybe have that come out in a box like the D&D starter box, with a rules lite pack, some pregens, an adventure, A full color folded world Map, etc. $10-20.

There is a huge market right now for Player and GM gaming accessories, and many of them are super straight forward and easy to make. They should come out with a Deck of Cards for: *Spells *Weapons *Monsters I would buy a deck for spells, personally. I would be able to pull out the NPC spells and hav...

I am looking at running Palladium Fantasy down the road again and was wondering how to improve how I run the game so that the game remains fun but challenging. Which brings me to my Question: How Do you, as a GM, Build your Encounters. Palladium doesn't have anything like what any edition of D&D...

Adram get 3 melee attacks flat. They can't learn a O.C.C. - they are too lazy to even bother to ever learn anything it would seem.... An untrained person will get 1 additional attack at levels 6 and 12; but I wonder if that would still apply in the case of a Adram?

The problem with discussing the 2 APM for living here in the PF forum is that there are none in PF . (If this has been changed in newer printings, will you chime in if you have a newer printing that has them written in?) If you are going to add the 2APMfL they should just be added to whatever the c...

Greetings and Salutations. Scholars, Wizards, Diabolists, Summoners, Psi-Healers, and Psychic Sensitives don't get hand to hand basic without selecting it with O.C.C. Related Skills. That's just the PF2 main book (Third Printing). If I use the other books, I might find more. So no, not everyone has...

I think it is best to ignore the 2 for the living rule that they made for HU and inserted into rifts by accident. Palladium Fantasy doesn't need it. Its suggested that you need it if a character doesn't have a Hand to hand skill. However, the only character who wouldn't have any of those would be ch...

So here is what i have come up with for my house rules: 1) Wards can be placed on items that can be moved or carried. However, when the ward effects are triggered only the Diabolist who created the ward will be unaffected. The one exclusion to this rule would be area affects.(This made sense to me s...

A gm once had me and several other happened to be at a bar separately, be drugged a wake up chained and with slave collars on. This only really helps if you have someone with pick locks skill in the group.

After using wards a few time and reading this I kind of want to rewrite how wards work in Palladium.

If you were to make changes to wards in the game, what would you change?

jade von delioch

My current group meet because they were all on the same ship that sank at sea during a storm. They all washed up on shore near each other and needed to work together to survive.

jade von delioch

You would think that there would be a skill or a set of rules for bypassing wards, even if permanent. Kind of like using the knowledge skill for ward like you would if it was say you were trying to deactivate a bomb using knowledge of how a bomb is constructed.

jade von delioch

I was going to say that they could cast the Prototypical Deific Powers of their god, but according to the rules they cannot. I think a god in that case, since the prayer is for knowledge could be used to gain insight instead of spells. Plus, the way I have run it in the past, when my player has roll...

Eberron is not a steampunk setting. There is nothing steampunk about it. For some reason people think anything with airships is steampunk, which might be true if all the ships were not magically powered/created. The term your looking for is Runepunk. Also, another good source for steampunk ideas is ...

Was thinking of doing attribute checks with the following table: Attributes checks: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 3% 6% 9% 12% 15% 18% 21% 24% 27% 30% 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 32% 34% 36% 38% 40% 42% 44% 46% 48% 50% 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 52% 54% 56% 58% 60% 62% 64% 66% 68% 70% 31 32 33 34 35 36 ...

I have been thinking about using the Honor system set up in Hackmaster 5th edition, so some of this plays into that. 200-600 A critical plan or action that sacrifices the entire group or many people. (Its less because it easier. (a significant amount of Honor lost.) 100-300 Endangering another chara...

jade von delioch

Soldier of od has this correct.

Also, you can look into Rifter 48 pg 80 you'll find some more priest stuff as well.

jade von delioch

I think the idea is that ''why invent something when you have magic that can do it for you". So if you wanted a gun to exist - look back at the Guardians of the Flame series. The Magic guild created magic based guns that that basically the same thing as a flintlock except it was all magic and t...

jade von delioch

Kevin is pretty heavy handed with his No tech in Palladium. Lets put it this way. They don't even have a printing press (to the eternal happiness of scribes everywhere). So the likelihood of steam powered anything is very very unlikely. So you wont find anything in any of the books (As far as I know).

jade von delioch

I'm really digging it now that I have sat down and started to read through it. Its the direction that they should have gone with D&D. thats for sure. Not sure if or when we will be making the change to another system. I might in fact just Design a heartbreaker system of palladium like a lot of p...

jade von delioch

It was. However, I'll do a quick edit and make that change.

Demon of Weakness: They appear as a 6ft tall gaunt old man, in a hooded cloak that is as black as pitch. Their eyes are black as a starless night, their skin as pale as bone, and their mouth is full of row upon row of sharp shark like teeth. You can see their bone structure clearly defined through ...

I have always done it as Flowing over the top of the ground. It probably will not melt a stone wall. Just heat it up. Also it would act just like real lava and not like cartoon lava. So it will flow more like a river and not melt a hole through the terrain. it will probably catch thew boat on fire u...

It is amazing how useful social interaction is. Not every problem can be solved with a bigger rock after all. Try to do situations where they have to do something besides kill the foe. Mercenaries might have to clear their (or anothers) name by taking some one alive. You might have to save a hostag...

jade von delioch

I do need to do this more often. Currently, they have been stuck somewhere full of monsters, so that was not always an option.

jade von delioch

I have a single player character in my Fantasy game who has Strength at 27 and a speed of 42 (part of this is from a magic item). (he also has major psionics) Not my problem really stems from the balancing act i need to do in order to keep the other characters alive while challenging him. Most of th...

jade von delioch

I'll check it out.

jade von delioch

I'm not asking for conversion notes - which would get Kevin in a Tissy-Fit since he is unlikely to ever think he needs to improve the game system, even though hundreds of fans have said otherwise.

I'm only looking for suggestions on other systems.

jade von delioch

I have come to the conclusion that, though I enjoy the setting, that the Palladium has to many large holes in it's rules system. Particularly for my game group and its play style. So What I want to do is convert it over to a different rule set, a Non-D&D rule set. Currently I am thinking Hero Sy...

jade von delioch

Well, I know for a fact that they do have not one but two manuscripts for Land of the Southwinds. The reason I know this is that my friend, known here as Entiago, sent in his manuscript in for it over 8 years ago and received a reply back saying that they liked what he had but that they already had ...

jade von delioch

My personal feeling are that we will not see much movement on fantasy or a good readdressing of the rules until Kevin is no longer in the picture. Everyone who is a fan of palladium knows how things are done at Palladium books and why things take forever to get out and why some stuff gets passed up ...

jade von delioch

It's only played like a video game character if you choose to play it that way. I think they just want a little more crunch in the rules for combat options beyond "I shoot them" or "I stab them" like caster classes and pisonics (which, from a game design standpoint, are effectiv...

jade von delioch

The "Holistic medicine" and The "Holistic medicine and Chemistry" skills seem very similar and I was wondering what to do with them. I could merge them into a single skill or just say that "Holistic medicine and Chemistry" was just "Holistic Chemistry" I am le...

Here is my Landscape Palladium Fantasy Character sheets, front and back. Please send me any comments on the design as a PM, otherwise I might not get it. I would like to adjust this character sheet so that it can be perfect for Palladium fantasy players. Front: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54...

jade von delioch

Long time AD&D, Rifts, PFRPG, etc. here I love the Palladium game system, However the Fantasy games O.C.C.s are a little boring. Not many options for abilities, etc., if i play a Merc Warrior and you play a Merc Warrior there is no difference between us except maybe skill selections etc. While ...

jade von delioch

I would say in this case that you would use common sense. If the whole area is well lite and there is no cover then it stands to reason that you can't sneak across the area. Now if all the guards had turned way, sure why not... But thats a clever useful action or idea if you could get all those guar...

KillWatch wrote:everything except trying to find someone sneaking up on you.

That because it is already built into the prowl skill. If you noticed them sneaking up on you then they must have failed their roll.

jade von delioch

So after re-reading the skills and what they do, I have decided that perception will not come into play very often. Prowl for instance states that if the player succeeds the roll for the skill then they are not seen or heard. So that being said- I would rather keep the game simple (as it was designe...

jade von delioch

Usually what I do for unskilled rolls is, have the player roll as normal, but they only succeed if it is below 10%. On top of this, since they don't have the skill they don't get the xp for it.

jade von delioch

Its really the only stat that even comes close to relating. but yes, its not perfect

jade von delioch

I really dislike the Perception checks that they introduced with Beyond the supernatural 2nd edition. Its really simple roll a d20, but does not take into account player skills like Prowl. Kind of bothersome. So What I was thinking was basing a characters perception off of a character's Intelligence...

jade von delioch

Yes, that would be landscape.
So it would be like that, but setup for fantasy. The only ones I seem to be able to find now are beyond the supernatural, this, or rifts.

jade von delioch

A several years back someone designed a really good landscape styled character sheet for palladium fantasy based on the Beyond the Supernatural character sheet. However, now that I need it, i can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it or have a copy I can get from you?

jade von delioch

This, i believe, was in one of the original printings of the core book. It may have been left out in later printings for some unknown reason.

jade von delioch

I don't believe that steampunk works for the palladium setting. The palladium setting is a typical high fantasy setting which means that its low technology is equal to that of the middle/dark ages. In order for palladium to have a high enough tech level for steampunk there would have to be some rapi...

jade von delioch

very nice. i was thinking of somthing else myself. excellent job

jade von delioch

psychic sensitive reminds me of Chip from Paranormal state. He never solves the case, he can only provide information on what they are hunting, which is a way that those PCC should be run.

jade von delioch

The only problem with some of that is that there is no reason for players to even play their alignments or penalties for having your alignment change...... The GM is responsible for making sure PC's stick to their alignments, it's also the GM's job to reward or penalize a player who brakes from the...
