I couldn't decide so I just voted for myself :P. I liked Delly's, Ryu's and Anheg's personally though. :P

Thing is, I have my revised version that is probably almost twice as long as the currently submitted one but..
1. For no good reason, the windows bar with the START key (the one that opens up all your programs) is gone, and I have no idea how to get it back. Therefor i cant get into word.
2.I dont know if this has to do with the above reason, but my virus scan has turned itself off, and i am VERY slow, so i cant log onto Godspire until i get it fixed (That means i cant submit my new book,  misspelled words or not)

I will hopefully have my newer one in within a day or two, whether it is used or not I dont care but i need to submit because I took more time on it than i ever have my homework

Mav                                      
Shadow

Post by: 420 on April 13, 2005, 04:34:23 PM

I voted for Ryu's guide because it seemed the most complete and had an easy to read format. I read everyone's guide and I thought they were all good. Delly and Ryu did a amazingly detailed outlines of D&D/NWN PvP, great work. Anheg's was also quite extensive but was much more general. Brior did the best job of making a introductory/beginners guide I thought, but it was one long paragraph which I think would make players not read it.

I listed some comments/suggestions below.

Ryu:
At the top under Glossary of Terms you don't say that APR can be found in 3.6. Like with the other terms.

2d4 can be any number 2-8, not just 2, 4, 6, 8. For instance, I could roll 2 4-sided die and get a 1 and a 2.

You mention 50% conceal in a couple places but not the 10/20/30/40/50% from the Self Concealment feats.

As Mo mentioned earlier, just rolling an 18 or higher on a 18-20/x2 won't get a critical. You must roll a second time to see if the critical actually hits.

Delly
You listed and numbered the sections at the top but none of the actual sections are numbered. Hard to tell where sections begin or end.

Forgot to mention that Wisdom increases Will in the attributes section.

Anheg
Great information without a lot of math, needs a table of contents like Ryu's and Delly's.

Brio
Friendly introduction to the world of PvP, needs a lot of formating though to make it easier to read.

You can't possibly base it all on the votes though... I mean seriously, someone could make multiple accnts, or use multiple accnts (like zen) to vote for a person a few times... I mean I doubt I would see Anheg, Ryu, Delly or Brior doing that but somebody else could... Just a point =)

Ryu great book.

Couple of issue off the top of my head.  Explanation of Critical Hits is off.  Read my explanation in this thread for a fix.  Also as 420 pointed out 2d4 has possible values of 2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Anheg: Ranger favored Enemies does not add AB.  It only add's +1 dmg and +1 to taunt.  Bane of Enemies epic feat however adds +2 ab.

Thank you for the feedback Mo and 420.

The Critical Hits section currently states "If player A successfully hits player B with a weapon, player A makes 1d20 threat roll."  It implies player A already succeeded in the Attack Roll and is now proceeding with a Threat Roll.  That sentence needs rewording (not to mention grammar correction), I think.

I fully agree with the other errors and will correct them in the next edition, if my book is still needed.
