Anyone seen anything from this yet? I was over at
Wizard's site. It seems that there's plenty of stuff in this book that can
be applied to Wheel of Time. So far, the biggest one is official rules on
how to convert Hit Point systems to a Vitality/Wound Point system. Here's
the excerpt for Vit/Wound systems: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20040206a&page=3 -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

Is the book actually out yet. I definately plan on

yeah, it's not out yet, just curious on people's
ideas of the book so far, especially with the excerpts they put up. I know
everyone's been wanting a concrete way to convert DnD to a Vit/Wound
system. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

I'll definitely be picking this up. The excerpts
they've shown already(Vitality/wounds, totem barbarians, prestige paladin)
look very promising, and i'm looking forward to a variant spellcasting
system, and variants on the core races/classes.

I picked this up this afternoon and it definately
contains some ideas I will be adapting for my WoT campaign. It definately
looks to be a great resource for anyone who wants ideas on how to adjust
their campaign rules to meet their personal tastes. Myself, I'm looking closely at the character traits, weapon group feats, vitality, action points, contacts, reputation, taint, sanity and vitalized spell points. ![]() |

I'm with Lucius. It's a good buy for any d20 game I
think. Lots of variant rules that can be adapted to almost any setting,
especially the ones that Lucius was mentioning. I'm already busy adapting
for my campaign -------------------- Wait, if I DID evil, and you guys here
ARE evil. Then shouldn't you be showering me with rewards and
concubines, etc.? This is Hell we're big on irony here. Then I'm sure you'll appreciate what is going to occur. I'm dead, so this is some egoscopic projection of myself? Correct, but I hardly see what... So without any fleshy meats to slow me down, how long do you REALLY think it'll take for me to usurp your entire kingdom?

Oh yeah, it's totally good. They've got traits and
flaws now, instructions on how to modify classes, all sorts of stuff!

i now hold this book in my hands. and all i can say
is "bought time we start geting quality drek, Wizards!" I love it, and all
i read so far is the variant racial stuff, and that was a skimming. damn
school taking up my time........... -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

Yeah I like it a lot. I'm going to use the Slot Pool
system from UtDB along with a slightly altered version of the spell
vitality rules in the magic section for my personal campaign. I think it
will be kinda interesting. -------------------- Wait, if I DID evil, and you guys here

the thing from it that ive been using for a while is
the reserve point alternate. In the campaign I play in we have been using
Vit/ W for some time, and I wanted to try something differrent. reserve
points work great with healing balms, instead of waiting an hour for some
of the subdual damage to go away, you just wait a minute per point and
vuala, full Hp, no Sub, though you can only pull that off every so often.
(need to refill your Reserve, and that takes days if youve fully emptied
it). I think it works better for my campaign than Vit/ W would, and having
subdual damage be no different from vitality damage would force you to
change Heal and healing balms, since both work by converting real damage
to subdual damage. other option is to keep track of subdual damage
seperately, as normal for HP damage. |

the way i work with subdual damage in a
Vitality/Wound Point system is that, without certain feats, attacks that
used to deal non-lethal damage can never do wound damage unless you take a
-4 penalty or crit someone. Whenever you would do wound damage (and if you
crit with a nonlethal attack), the character must make a saving throw (10
+ total damage that round) or pass out for 1d4 hours.
