I'd rather they went full LotFP and made it a cleric spell. Then they can save the alternate rules (Classic D&D chart-based Turning, 3E "channeling", Mearls' new natural-or-not Turns) as freebies for the new version of D&D Insider.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737025559858978163.post-10128603703153406332012-03-14T21:46:18.161-04:002012-03-14T21:46:18.161-04:00Yep, just like Mearl's tweaking of Save or Die...Yep, just like Mearl's tweaking of Save or Die from last week - just added complications.<br /><br />I'm rereading the OD&D booklets and i'm still amazed at how much game was squeezed into so little spaceTenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.com
