04-28-05, 06:51 PM Why make them aberrations with construct traits rather than just constructs? They don't seem bad as monsters, but aside from the names and organization, I really don't get the Chess feeling. Also, aside from the queen's spells, they all look exactly the same to me.

04-28-05, 06:54 PM That's... strange.

I'm just waiting for the Black pieces...

Oops.

I originally had them as constructs, until I decided I wanted them to be sort of Alice in Wonderland card-like things. Intelligence.

I'll edit out the traits, though.

Thank you!

05-02-05, 06:42 AM Why don't you make them bigger, just like in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ?

05-02-05, 06:57 AM Isn't it sorcerer's stone

and

Why does the bishop not cast as a cleric, with at least 1st level spells.?

05-02-05, 01:22 PM They look the same but, then again, I'm a novice at this
Seems to me you could differentiate them a little better by, say, making the queen the most powerful, give her some special ability (what exactly I'm not sure). Make their life functions tied to the survival of the king.
Maybe the Black Knight stays at bay :D

05-02-05, 01:29 PM Mail Carrier: When did you guys get a pool?
Lois: Oh. It's not a pool. It's a moat. My husband thinks we need extra protection now that we're rich.
Postal Carrier: Does it work?
Lois: Well. It does keep the black knight at bay.

From a mail carrier to a postal carrier?

:P

I didnt even notice that until you said it there. Thanks, Pixie
In my defense, I got if off a website. But I should have checked

05-02-05, 03:51 PM Actually, I had been considering making chess pieces into monsters. What I had meant to do was to make each one powerful, yes, but set it up so that if two armies, black and white, met on a 40ft X 40ft (8 squares X 8 squares) board, they would arrange themselves and fight by the chess rules. Instead of dealing usual damage, they would each gain autohits and autokills. Check and checkmate would apply. And just to note, it is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in Britain and other true-English speaking places.
