Basic Fantasy RPG Core Rules 4th Edition

[Solomoriah]

Monsters given with variable hit dice and variable saves, where the saves are not consistent with the hit dice, are probably wrong though. Fixed that once already lately. Don't stop checking them.

[ThorinSchmidt]

Okay. I'll stick to that and vocabulary. Punctuation is obviously NOT in my wheelhouse!

[ThorinSchmidt]

Djinni:

This is more of a question. Since the description says that a djinni in whirlwind form fights as an air elemental, would it be useful to include a page reference to that elem,ental? I know that not everything is getting page references, but I thought I'd ask.

[Solomoriah]

Maybe. I'll look at it to see what it does to the flow.

[ThorinSchmidt]

I have a question aboutr the dragon entries. Are the XP values the same regardless of the Age Category of the dragon? If XP is supposed to be based on Hit Dice, wouldn't that mean that an Age 1 Dragon is worth less XP than an Age 8?

If so, shouldn't that be included in the Age Category table for each dragon?

Of course, they are dragons after all. No need for them to "follow the rules"!

[Dimirag]

The xp value is due to each dragon having a "base value", they show only 1 of their possible HD range, the one used to determine the actual HD of an encountered one.

Showing the xp for every HD would mess the age category table...

a note to that in the generic Dragon text at the top may be helpful for newbie GM's?

Hmm. Possibly, but I'll have to shrink an artwork to do it. Gah. I knew this would crop up eventually. I may not try to fix it before the first 4thed printing.

How about a simple parenthetical note on the XP line of the description for each type like (varies by Age Class)

[Solomoriah]

Possibly. The real issue is, those that can cast spells should get an additional star, so they need twice as many XP entries as you'd think.
