So it seems converting creatures from other BRP games will be a bit more challenging than expected.

Pepp pepp hurrah

If you dual wield the ducks they can each dual wield in turn. 4 attacks per turn.

Is there like a law the UN passed that fantasy worlds must be "Insert real world country but they have pointy ears now woo, magic" ? Nothing makes me close a rulebook faster than turning the page and finding out what they call the Romans and vikings this time around.

I definitely didn't read Nidländske Reningen and imagine the people all looking like Norwegians, but the new game isnt set in Ereb Altor right?

Its probably worth recalling how DoD has handled weapons over the years. The original box and the black boxes have each weapon as its own skill and no carry over. Expert added a related weapons rule where related weapons receive 1/3rd of your best skill in the group. 1991 changed this to be...

Tiny brain: 40 separate weapon skills. 200 non weapon skills. Big brain: 1 combat skill. 20 non weapon skills. Galaxy brain: 1 skill.

Eon also had Stridsvana and Harnmaster has Initiative as a skill that improves with experience. Its handy for reflecting the difference between a character with formal training who hasnt seen battle versus a seasoned veteran. Not suitable for every game (and probably not DoD) but in a more...

for comparison, 87 box had 30 skills (not counting weapons), Expert about 70 skills and 91 with all the expansions roughly 73763883872 skills

KH (and HT) was what won me over to “special abilities” in BRP (and I think KH basically nails the implementation)

Thank you so much for your time and patience :)

Some more questions since the barbarians are at the gates now :) A: Opposed rolls? How do they work? (or do they?) B: After a character is created, is the player free to try to develop any skills they like or are they limited by their profession? C: How much support is there for playing or...

Yes, we're all excited about the new game but the talk about special abilities got me thinking: For the 1991 rules, which of the Yrke in the main book needed tweaking? (Lets ignore all the splat books). From my (somewhat limited) experience with it (and this is assuming the scenario /...

Looks like we are definitely more in neo/post BRP territory. Pretty excited about what appears to be HT style character abilities and a bit more player "stuff" to do. Not really a fan of D&D style rest mechanics in play, but I understand why they are there. A couple questions if Tomas is...

Spending magic points / PSY for bonuses has precedent in the 91 rules (the thief and knight).

The KP option is pretty close to things I've house ruled before. Must say I prefer the old "die at minus FYS" rule to rolling.

For a war-game I did, I tried introducing special notations for things like rolling and keeping the highest, lowest etc. and the feedback was that people found it confusing.

Campaign sub-title "you are tiny and I will eat you" :)

In the Danish version, they were straight up called hobbits. We had one or two but they were not especially popular.

Why play a half giant when you can play the full giant? :) The distinction between "player" and "monster races is something I hope FL doesn't emphasize. The black box and Expert rules had it 100% correct in that regard.
