Re: unbalanced races
Don't listen to people like macd21 - they have comprehensively shown themselves entirely blind to any flaws in C7s game, which there are too many to list. In a game such as 2E WFRP, ten percentage units more or less does indeed not play a significant role. If you hit 10% more often, and your foes pa...

Rather suggests there is something wrong with C7... Of course, with a botch-job like WFRP4, I must honestly confess I won't be shedding any tears if they go under. Obviously my condolences to those hoping for a speedy TOR 2e!

Re: Cubicle 7 dropping the Lord of the Rings
Where does Sophisticated Games fit into this hierarchy of Tolkien rights? As a complete stranger doing a random guess: Because Saul Zaentz can't be bothered to micromanage every little deal in every sector? It's much more convenient to strike deals with just one entity per sector, and Sophisticated...

Re: Cubicle 7 dropping the Lord of the Rings
Did anyone else know that this game was a licenced game? I realised that the Tolkien estate may have property rights but i didn't know until this announcement to cease publishing was made that another company owned the game rights. I had thought that The One Ring was entirely the creation of Cubicl...

Cubicle 7 dropping the Lord of the Rings
This means we will cease publishing The One Ring and Adventures in Middle-earth™ in the first half of 2020. Unfortunately, this doesn’t give us enough time to release the much-anticipated The One Ring – The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game second edition. https://www.cubicle7games.com/unexpected-...

Re: High mage question
That completely undermines the Witch class though. One of possibly only two benefits to playing that class was that they can use the Witch! talent to pick arcane spells from multiple colors. Give an equivalent benefit to Wizards, and there's almost no reason at all to consider the Witch class as be...

Re: High mage question
I think GW's restriction on non-elf mages blows from a player fun perspective. That is, you only need a single wind to become effective. It's just boring to be so restricted. Essentially you have blue wizards (all much alike) and green wizards (all much alike) and so on. But how many wizard characte...

Re: WHFR 4e - Are Wizards playable?
As I said in my earlier post, if the other combat spells are written in such a way that there's no reason to take them, that would say to me that they're poorly designed and should be re-written. But it doesn't give me any urge to add magic points or otherwise revise how the spell system works. A f...

Re: WHFR 4e - Are Wizards playable?
I’ve been running a 4th edition game for the last 12 months, and one of my players is a Wizard. We certainly haven’t found the class unplayable, or even underpowered. Dart is his go-to spell in combat, and we’ve found it exceptionally effective in combat. The damage output is (usually) minimal, but...

Re: WHFR 4e - Are Wizards playable?
I respect your desire to have a game where wizards are more combat effective, but as I said above, I don't personally think 'not spectacular at combat at low Exp' ganks the career(s), because of all the other non-combat things they can do. Your complaints are all about combat and the lack of any ne...

Re: Errata Update
Not in this instance. I know how that rule is intended to work, and it works in an illogical manner. A bigger target should not suffer additional damage because it is easier to hit. Testing out that rule is not going to change that fact. Sorry, but that consequence is built into the system. Anythin...

Re: WHFR 4e - Are Wizards playable?
This has confirmed that my own houserule, to give out Magic Points (name is a deliberate call-back to 1E) to Wizards much like everyone gets Wounds, is a sound and fair rule that resolves many of the issues with 4E magic. You have (Will Power Bonus x 2) + Toughness Bonus + Intelligence Bonus = Magic...

Re: WHFR 4e - Are Wizards playable?
After having tested out the v4 rules in practice, I can establish that the rules simply don't work. Specifically, the way Advantage and wizard spells interact. Put simply, I can confirm the earlier fears: 1) you never need another attack spell than Bolt or Blast. 2) you never use Channelling (in tim...

Re: Large Targets and Damage
Has someone compiled a document of all the issues WFRP4 has or is there a website that discusses them? I'd like to go through them to decide if I want to start house ruling things or just move to another rpg. I would say "this very website". I mean, there's the issues that Cubicle 7 has a...

Re: Errata Update
It isn't a question of using the system to see if I like it. ... The question for me now - is whether or not I can be bothered to house rule things. With all respect, could it be that you're missing the point of the advice given? The advice is: Don't houserule a system before you have given it a go...

Re: Large Targets and Damage
Honestly, I would rather give larger creatures more Wounds in that case, and not make damage calculation more complicated. Specifically, you're trying to uncouple the fundamental property of the "single-roll" combat mechanism of 4th Edition, that +10% to hit automatically translates to +1 ...

Re: Errata Update
My advice to you is to simply play the game first, before worrying about Elephants.
That, and asking rules questions in a new thread... Let this thread be about errata
