Re: Combat Options Supplement
In my opinion, Combat Options should keep the current, "basic" weapon specialization rules. The Weapons Specialization supplement would include the "advanced" system with all the optional bits.

Re: Combat Options Supplement
Alright, having consulted my brother I've decided to go with cleave variant 2 for the next release candidate. Here it is. I've left Armor and Shield specialization in for now, but if we branch out and do the specialization supplement, I can take them out to make room for them in that if you prefer.

Re: Combat Options Supplement
How about adding this?

Unarmored Combat
Characters who, for whatever reason, engage in combat while wearing no armor whatsoever have a base Armor Class of 11, plus Dexterity bonus, plus the character's normal Attack Bonus. Use of a shield is allowed (to those characters who may use shields normally), as are magical protection items which are not otherwise properly armor (such as rings or cloaks of protection). This improved base Armor Class only applies to opponents the character is aware of and whose location is at least approximately known, as it is not possible to defend effectively against attackers you do not know about. This is sometimes called the "Swashbuckler Option."

Re: Combat Options Supplement
Actually, I was thinking about this just last night.
Quite possibly will be in the next release.

Re: Combat Options Supplement
A quick question to clear up something in this supplement. When a new weapon specialization is chosen it always starts at Rank 1, independent of the fighter's level? Is that right?
So a fighter at level 10 could have Rank 3 Longsword and Rank 1 Great Axe, or any combination of ranks with 4 different weapons?

Re: Combat Options Supplement
That's how I see it. As ranks are acquired, the player has choice to apply towards single weapon or to spread to additional weapons.Hellbrandt wrote:A quick question to clear up something in this supplement.

In addition, I would like mention in next release that specialization ranks can be applied towards "unarmed attacks or grappling". I could even see it possibly applied towards siege weapon attacks, or if some non-standard races are utilized towards innate natural attacks (for instance bite attack of Chelonian or Gore attack of Bisren).
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?

Re: Combat Options Supplement
Sounds reasonable; I'll consider revising it.

Thanks for clarifying, when I can I like to have these things straight in my head before they come up at the table...SmootRK wrote:That's how I see it.
