Re: Critical Hits are PC Death Sentences

I like the house rule that only Fighters can land critical hits. So other classes, and most monsters, won't be doing this extra damage. But beware of engaging in combat with NPC Fighters, who can really ruin your day with some lucky rolls.

Re: Coming back to Basic Fantasy!

Welcome back. I always enjoyed your YouTube videos talking about Basic Fantasy. Do you plan on making more Basic Fantasy videos as well?

As a DM I just love it when my Thief players improvise, that Thief Bonus (what I'm using instead of percentiles) really motivates them into doing crazy stuff.
Can you tell us about this Thief Bonus you are using instead of percentiles?

Re: The Glain Companion

Looking through this document today, I noticed that the Classes section does not list what races Druids and Illusionists can be. Whereas the other "new" classes do mention what races are available. It also seems that the "new" Races section only lists the core rulebook classes wh...

Re: Croaker (Frog-men)

I don't like monsters as PCs. But I love Bullywugs. They are probably my favorite D&D monster.

Basic Fantasy already has the Wug in the Basic Fantasy Field Guide, but the more frog men, the better! And I love the name "Croaker". :mrgreen:

GP as XP - does it change the way the game is played?

D&D Basic was my first RPG. I like the D&D Basic rule that gives players 1 XP for every 1 GP earned. You still get a little XP for killing monsters, but gaining gold is the main way for PCs to level in D&D Basic. Basic Fantasy does not give XP for GP by default, though it is mentioned as...

Re: Feedback for small addition to Fighters

I completely overlooked the possibilty to make the Specialization exclusive to the Fighter. Check out The Glain Companion free download on the Showcase page: https://www.basicfantasy.org/showcase.cgi It is a document of Chris Gonnerman's house rules, and having Specialization available only to the ...

Re: Feedback for small addition to Fighters

You can make it so Fighters, and only Fighters, get Weapon Specialization, Shield Specialization, and Armor Specialization as per the Combat Options supplement. I think this gives the Fighter a very nice boost, even when compared to Paladins and Rangers, if you are using such optional classes in you...

Re: The Glain Companion

I love this supplement. It can nicely function as a general "Basic Fantasy Companion" to expand upon the core rules. Its a clean and simple all-in-one document that almost turns Basic Fantasy into "Advanced Basic Fantasy", in a way. :) I've been a BFRPG fan for years, but somehow...
