Nope, sorry. Gauntlets are weapons. That puppy is doing lethal damage there buddy. Hope you have a cleric handy. Or, on the topic of equipment, a few potions of extra healing laying about. ;)

The whole GSL deal reminds me of a certain line from a certain somewhat famous movie... "The more you tighten your grip, the more systems will sip through your fingers." (/paraphrase) It's a shame really, because the OGL was a wonderful thing and spurred on a huge wave of creativity in the RPG field overall. I too agree with the hopeful wishes for those who are able to put out good product without the ban-hammer of the GSL coming down on them. Yorrik
Hi there. I've recently found this place and downloaded the alpha 3 rules and can only say that I am extremely happy to see what is being done here. The noble effort to keep D&D 3.5 alive is just about the most worthy thing I've seen done in the RPG industry as of late. Even more worthy than helping some masked man find his true love and a Spaniard get revenge for the death of his dad... and that says a lot. What is most important about it to me is that I have seen that Paizo has been keeping the name alive. The name Dungeons and Dragons. That is the heart of the matter to me. My friends and I have gotten our hands on 4E and read the rules and looked it over and yadda yadda. We are going to try and play it. We are going to give it a chance. However, we have all come to agree that the game is truly not D&D any more. It lost something. A lot of something. It lost enough of the something that was D&D that we are no longer even calling it by that lofty old name. To me it has become... Fred. Yup, Fred. We are calling it Fred the RPG system. I just feel wrong calling it D&D. It makes me feel like I'm kicking Gygax's headstone or something. So that's what's in a name to me. All my fond memories of the past. All the ones yet to come. Though I may try out Fred, I will always play D&D 3.5 for the fun it has given me and continues to give me all the time. It is a familiar and friendly name. So, thank you Paizo. Thank you very much for what you are doing here in keeping the spirit of the name of D&D alive. At least alive in my eyes. I wish you all the luck in the world with this and will gladly support you when it is released. Also, just so no one thinks I'm being mean to WotC, I do wish them all the luck in the world with Fred. It just isn't the game I grew up with any more. 'Nuff said. Yorrik |
