Go to ANY used bookstore and ask for their chess section. It might be in with their board games.
There have been THOUSANDS of books written that will do exactly what you want.

>>47450639
I suppose I should have mentioned, I live in a place where I don't speak the language right now. I'm moving but that takes time.

>>47450687
Many of the books will have diagrams. And most used bookstores have books in all kinds of languages. I used to work at one.
Other then that, cheap Amazon books.

can you explain this?
>1. To strongly consider giving out at least one free "tax feat," like Expertise and pre-errata Melee Training.

the PCs seem to never really get into trouble
I have yet to drop a PC

Handing out free tax feats is less related to difficulty, and more of a matter of giving the players the feats the system's math expects them to have. These feats are necessary to match up PCs' attack bonuses with monster' defenses, PCs' non-AC defenses with monsters' attack bonuses, and PCs' melee basic attack and damage bonuses with those of Strength-based PCs (because frontliners like battleminds, monks, and swordmages having to spend a feat to have a viable melee basic attack is exceedingly stupid).

Such feats are so effective that nearly every character will want to pick them up sooner or later, and indeed, the game assumes you will have them. With that in mind, why not hand them out for free and give players room for customization?

For some unfathomable reason, WotC never saw it fit to integrate these into PCs' math via errata, despite the game's March 2012 errata document being 136 pages long. This is presumably because they were attempting to sweep the fiasco under the metaphorical rug.

However, throughout 4e's run, there was a certain designer and editor for the game named Greg Bilsland. He was in charge of combing over books, resolving balance issues, and writing up errata. Greg Bilsland used house rules to patch up the game's math with tax feats:

Think about that. If 4e's official errata-writer thought it was a good idea to hand out free tax feats, then it is probably a good idea.

>my group us level 7, and doing the H3 module
Also, modules H1-3, P1-3, and E1 are all written under Monster Manual 1 math, which means enemies inflict laughable amounts of damage yet have the aggravating tendency to have high defenses, inflict brutal conditions, and, in the case of solo monsters, have far too much HP. Overall, such monsters are significantly weaker than their Monster Manual 3 math counterparts, which would explain why the party is having little trouble.

>Thread starter question: Do you disapprove of item- and damage type-dependent builds like "frostcheese," the "radiant mafia," the Mark of Storm, and the Firewind Blade?

I dislike it because damage types are the biggest limit to refluffing, and all those rely on cheesing out elements/vulnerabilities/etc.

You can't just tell your blackguard "sure, replace all necrotic with radiant", cause then suddenly that's a huge buff, because damage types were not created equal.

Land rights. All the land rights.

Split it with the party.

a couple.
two off the top of my head are A Song of Blades and Heros and it's varients, which just needs 8 reaper minis for both side to play.
Or Angry miniatures, one that only need 3 dude to play for both side, but requires poker dice.

Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack.

Uses Legos.

Me and my friends use W40k rules and army men.

A long what?

Of course, this is pretty much why I became thrallherd in the first place.

>>47449332
Why? Your party is already full.
Your balance is shit though.
Maybe ask a rogue?

I am now imagining land before time table top...
it is a good thought.

Because dinosaurs make good monsters, not so much protagonists. They're big dumb scalie things, the dragon to be slain, not the hero of the story

>>47449263
I mean I guess you could just do like Ironclaw and have anthro/furry dinosaur people. Different species giving different stats, maybe do a "herbivores good, carnivores bad" thing depending on how corny you want it to be.

Will she agree to giving us a quiver of her magic arrows as reward?
Do the arrows work on her?

>The Ranger gets far too into it, runs out of magical love arrows, starts using his own, and gets the Angel suspended for how her own negligence lead to several deaths and many more serious woundings. She falls from grace out of rage, and becomes an enemy of the party.

If I struggle to understand GURPS is there another system that can be adapted or is ideal for modern gaming?

I actually got talked into DMing a system which boils down to

>FURRIES
>IN
>SPAAAACE

So I guess there's your answer.

Luckily these players are borderline internet illiterate, so furshit will be all but impossible for them. One guy just wanted the opportunity to play a properly statted naga with a railgun.
