Rule suggestions, etc.

Post by Todd »

I know some people dont like to speak out in a public forum, and some people just dont like to be rude. In an attempt to make sure all voices are heard, and to make sure nothing gets overlooked, I am trying to make our communication system more fluid and in the end more productive.

We all know that the GM's are hard at work and have to deal with Rules discussions, Game & site logistics, Props, Finances, and above all else Plots. This can keep them all very busy, and while they are doing there best to make sure the game runs smoothly for you, it can get a bit overwhelming. I am volunteering myself as your personal FH GM intermediary. A Player Ombudsman if you will. Basically that means that if you have any issues with the 'Mechanics' of the Game at large, but dont want to over burden the GM Staffs already busy schedule, that you can bring it to me, and I will pass it along to the proper authority. Its all just part of an effort to make things run more smoothly.

I cant promise your suggestions will cause changes in the rules, but I can guarantee that it will be made clear to the other GMs that these are changes that the 'Players' would like to see made.

I can be pretty hard to ignore some times.


You can continue to post here in the 'Rules Suggestions' or you can feel free to contact me via PM or E-mail if you prefer anonymity.


Thanks for your dedication to making the Final Haven System great!

Offering your self up as a sacrificial lamb for the rest of us is much appreciated Todd. Not that I have much of a problem with speaking my mind. ;)

In fact ..your gesture is of such selflessness i think ill arrange for special attire for you to use when operating in this capacity. Im thinking a blue uniward with a red cape and a big yellow target on the chest and cape...

Hey hows it going. I had an Idea for a skill like rage. pretty much the most you can do is 3. my idea was you double your attack but take twice as much. so instead of doing 2 to that doom worm you can do 4, but if it hits you you take a bunch of damage. Or something. I was chatin with some people and we were talking about theres no way to like do hero crap like kill something in a hit and break through the enemy lines, even if it was a once an event. your in that big battle and its not going well, you run up to the boss, drop him in a hit everybody rallys and the battle is wone. Just think it over

Interesting idea, but that is what hero points are for. They are to repersent the heroic actions of people.

You actually can do exactly what you described, it just takes two people and a little charging time.

1st person presses a hole and acts as a human shield in the line after the second has charged a 3 vorpal knockout or a 9 vorpal. And thats without even hero points spent.

I just thought hero points reduce the charge time, do they allow you to do more damage? If not maybe they should? As for the 9 vorpal, I belive you HAVE to be master rogue, master assassin,right? And most people aint.

hero points allow you to increase damage by 1. We are also working on character advancement rules that may allow a little bit more.

Thats cool but hero points are still hard to come by, and spending one to do one mor point of damage seems a little...wasteful. And whats character advancement?
