For the kick of it I calculated (and well searched the net) for the expected value of both, and it's true you come to the same one. If you want to see the maths: (not me that did the site thought) http://www.rhetoricalsegfault.org/wordpress/2010/01/calculating-average-damage-in-dd/ My theory is that...

I would remove half the penalty for different age category since the size is a big part of that.

Wow, as usual, you find way to impression me with resources. To answer DeepShadow question, my PC are currently adventuring in southern Barovia at the border with Forlorn (in a watchtower village) and not that far from Kartakass and Indivia. As for the lvl, The fighter and cleric are 5 and the rogue...

I try to keep it in mind!

And thanks for the suggestion, i'll see with my players too.
Any suggestion about a place where a lot of people come and go that could serve as a good focal point for adventures.

The best place for PC to have their stronghold?

My PC have expressed the desire to get a stronghold as the game progress. When the current plot will end, I will probably try to bring in the next plot a stronghold for the PC. (which will lead to the question as to how to bring interesting plots in the game if the PC must stay at home.) For the mom...

e20, a Sarli project for a genre-neutral d20 system

Just thought you would like to know. Gary Sarly from SW SAGA is currently raising fund to build a grassroot gamedesign system aim at emulating every type of game with the d20 system as a basis. It's interesting because you can actually help him with the game design. And after seing what he did for S...

Indeed. Well Dementlieu was given a sort of reworking as 'the Mad Lands' , but I'm not convinced that it sounds good in French. Of course, my French is pretty terrible. Like a cave-man! We should ask a fluent speaker, preferably a native. I think my french is pretty good (since it's my first langua...

Why not just turn that big hunk of eastern Darkon no one uses into "Arak" and say its a dwarf colony or kingdom full of prospectors and would be nobles fighting against the horrors of the Underdark? The Darklord could be a dwarf who abandoned his or her friends in the deep in exchange for...

IMC, Rafael is playing a dwarf paladin from beneath Mt Baratok- from a 'local underdark' it would seem. So, his people are not Darkonese. Only in relatively recent times have the 're-discovered' the legendary surface world. Raf has described these dwarves as deathly -pale, not earth-tone. Lol origi...

In particular, I am wondering whether the Lamordian Dwarves came with Lamordia, or emigrated there after it hooked up with Darkon. And yes, I am following Mangrum's timeline and dismissing the idea that Lamordia appeared before Darkon. From page 31 in the RLCS, the dwarf outside Darkon are dwarves ...

As to my own curiosity on the subject, I found myself wondering recently if dwarves in Ravenloft are essentially all from Darkon (the occasional outlander excluded) or whether they appear also with certain other domains. Well for wha't it's worth I have seen they are some in the balinoks and some i...

The dwarves of Ravenloft?

I'm just curious if anyone has more information on the dwarves beyond the two pages of the RLCS and the few lines in the Gaz2.

After seing the dwarves of dragon age, I got the idea of using them in Ravenloft.

While I know that, I find it odd that nobody has found in his interest to work those difficulties. Given the exotism of Hazlani goods, people are probably ready to pay a good price. And when something has a good price, there is always a warlord ready to pacify the region in exchange for his commissi...

Bluetspur was never really a problem for me since it is far. Some PrC from hero of light or Champion of darkness are really average. In general, I feel that the gazetteer made a good job of bringing all those hodge-podge domains together in a coherent setting. (Heck the dales of FR seem so artificia...
