"Trained by XXXX" feat?

Bertha is level +7 now, meaning 3+7=10th level, with +4 save, so +14 on a normal (non-morale) save. +3 would just protext a little better against some of the hard to save effects like LSD/LRD breath, Hexblade curse, etc.

As for the "Power Attack choose option", to simplify it could be chosen per creature turn instead of per activation (meaning you only have to remember it for any one creature's turn, then it resets to "choose" mode - so you can use power attack on an AoO, then next phase another AoO comes up you choose again, perhaps this time turn it off for a higher AC target).

A final comment on Lieutenants: I think having a non-cmdr Lt. become a warlord is a tough option for a few reasons:
1) Low Command rating - stuck with this and cannot bring in most 2nd commanders because their command rating would be too high.
2) No command Effect
How about a one-time boon when a creature moves from Lt. to Warlord? Or give the bonus only if original warlord is retiring? Perhaps +1CR or a choice of minor command effects (+1 melee attack, +1 ranged attack, or +1 AC)?

cool.



So the difficult thing will be to come up with a list of balanced commander effects.

Anyone want to give it a shot? =)

AesophDarkfable,

I had the same idea and just posted it. Hope we did not duplicate work. If we both end up with the topic, I will delete mine as you will probably have a better chance of keeping it updated.

I saw Zippy has an Amulet of Displacement (Conceal 6). I thought Blur was 6 and Displacement was 11? I am not disputing his claim, i am just confused ... did they rename it or something?

So I should rename the item:

"Amulet of Concealment"

and post this nomenclature update in errata section?

I distinctly remember having a received a Ring of Leadership 20 weeks ago or so. I thought it was silly to have a major item that grants Commander 0. Galneweinhaw agreed and said Commander 0 or +2 to command. It was pointed out to me that there is a Charisma power that already grants +2 to command. We should probably get these combined or something.

I'm not real impressed by a major item of Spell Storing that grants 3 Magic Missiles. (Maybe, because they keep being Shields and I'm playing CG.) Could we get this bumped up to something a little more powerful or am I in left field?

Currently collars are listed as animals only. Could/Should this also include Magical Beasts? It seems that all references in spells and commander effects always list both.

The medium items powers table has two entries listed as 70-72

70-72 Swift Flight, As swift fly [] (gain Flight this turn, speed F8)

70-72 the Shadow Hide

Sorry if these have already been pointed out.

Augment Summoning adds +2 attack for summoned creatures. If this is mimicking RPG, should it not be +2 attack and +5 hp? (if i missed the initial decision, ignore me).

Also, the rules state that if you are destroyed and are carrying an item, it gets dropped, but the rules for eternal battle state you get everything back. That means no item is dropped vs. spawning magic items correct?

Not quite sure what you mean by spawning magic items.

If you are destroyed and drop an item, you only lose it if your enemy picks it up before the match ends (and your enemy is capable of stealing or destorying it)

This section of the rules needs a wording overhaul. I had a real difficult time trying to make it brief but concise... and ended up with a jumble of crap IMHO.... any volunteers? [:D]

I'd like to propose that when rolling for magic items, if you roll too high for a table, you get to pick an item from the table instead of rolling again.

I agree on the charisma/command thing. I think 3 MM is pretty nice and sits about right (I think its just your shield luck)

List of powers I think are odd/weak/too powerful:

Blasting: should be medium
blast flesh: should be medium
arachinda: should die.. or be medium


Major Powers needed:
Pounce
Arrow Catching

By spawning items, i meant in reference to this week's scenario. It is stated that in this scenario (Eternal Battle) when a creature is destroyed, it returns next round with all starting abilities and equipment. Well, say my Tordek dies and my opponent grabs his +1 Shield. Next round, Tordek reappears with his +1 Shield, thus spawning a +1 shield from nowhere. If he kept dying, the shields would multiply like rabbits!!!

Allies sound fun. Can we add another rule that says you can never ally with your opposite faction? For example, LG can ally with LG, LE or CG but NEVER CE. That way we always have sworn enemies.

I like the Spell Storing Magic Missle item. Every faction has a 3 point unit with a shield. That means for 3 points you get 15 damage at range sight from a 3 point unit.

Now I can't remember what we agreed upon. After a battle you can exchange a Major for a Major istead of rolling a new one? I think it should be, if you lose the match, Major for Major, if you win, Major for Major plus you get a new Minor..... whatcha all think?

I have an idea for a completely new rule:

Alliances

Each warlord may choose another warlord (who is not played by the same player) with a similar (both good, both evil, both chaotic, or both lawful) alignment to become Allies with.

Once a pair of Allies have been declared, the allies may, once a week, trade an equivalent magic item of any strength (less artefacts).

Allies never battle each other, and each warlord may only have one ally.

To declare an ally, both players must post their intention to become allies in the main thread of a week they are not paired to fight. To break an Alliance, one player must post that the Alliance has been broken

Ok, then Let's make it so.

Zippy, Can you add this to the rules addendum?

"if you lose a match, you may trade a Major item for a new random Major item, instead of gaining a Minor item.

If you win a match, you may trade a Major Item for a new random Major item and a new random Minor Item, instead of gaining a new Medium Item."
