Basically, if the spell is a "fire" spell you save vs. fire. If it's a "water" spell you save vs. water. KISS principle at work.<br /><br />And not every spell has an element, but all have Yin, Yang, or Chi associations. Some also have elements. Certain monsters are aligned to specific elements as well, so their attacks would count as that element unless specified otherwise in the ability description.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-280095909242491282011-10-24T15:18:25.270+09:002011-10-24T15:18:25.270+09:00@Theodric, I haven't taken a really good look ...@Theodric, I haven't taken a really good look at R&R, but I was under the impression from Mike's old Sword +1 blog that it was basically OD&D with a Japanese paint-job. That's not to disparage it. The original OA was basically AD&D 1E with a Japanese paint-job, and 3E OA was 3E with a Japanese paint-job.<br /><br />Flying Swordsmen is a simulacrum of Dragon Fist, which was AD&D 2E with a Chinese paint-job. I've cut out some of the annoying (to me, I realize) AD&D aspects, so my game will be closer to a Classic D&D/AD&D hybrid with a Chinese paint-job. The biggest difference from standard D&D/AD&D is that every class gets martial arts that improve as you level.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-16579538311191543812011-10-24T12:03:28.575+09:002011-10-24T12:03:28.575+09:00So, you're going to do your own version of Rui...So, you're going to do your own version of Ruins & Ronin and incorporate the Five Motions saving throws? :DTheodric the Obscurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201793290118146978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-51818469470375565592011-10-23T02:47:49.522+09:002011-10-23T02:47:49.522+09:00This is awesome.This is awesome.Dave Cesaranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454928720043301400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-56555376398031803992011-10-23T02:45:36.948+09:002011-10-23T02:45:36.948+09:00This is a really cool idea.

I don't know how (or if) I could use it, especially since other than one class on the history of Asian scroll painting many years ago my knowledge of Asian culture is weak, weak, weak, but I like the logic and the consistency.<br />Are different spells tied to the different elements? So perhaps a spell from the 'wood' class could be overcome/prevented/nullified by a spell from the metal class and vice/versa? Just a thought.Stefan Poaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192911890556534923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-18367108532286261222011-10-22T14:57:01.327+09:002011-10-22T14:57:01.327+09:00Let it not be said that I won't be the first o...Let it not be said that I won't be the first one to disparage my own good ideas with toilet humor.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-30332481476640245832011-10-22T10:24:27.323+09:002011-10-22T10:24:27.323+09:00*golf clap**golf clap*DMWieghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682249561077936507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-57544509736420864692011-10-22T08:09:17.602+09:002011-10-22T08:09:17.602+09:00"Hey Butt-Head, he said 'save vs. metal.&..."Hey Butt-Head, he said 'save vs. metal.'
