regional feat ...
GOOD POINT :
the encounter creation,
the PNJ creations
the calcul of XP,
We will play with this characters Saturday, June 7th or 14th.
I ask my friends to choice among the traditionnal npc. I don't want to have a unique hero. So, all of them will start in the Irenicus's Donjon, and all of them could be the son of Bhaal.
The quest will be to discover wich of them is the Son of Bhaal...
Cool! Enjoy the adventure! I never got through the entire game, but I enjoyed it immensely. I got stuck in the underdark, though.
I do have one question, though: Is Lanceur de sort polyvalent actually the French translation of Practiced Spellcaster, or did you just call it that?
Je suis curieux!
Yes it is ! It's this official traduction... I didn't know the original version...
And it's not so easy to translate English to french or french to english ... Sometimes there is strange thinks ...Mobility is Souplesse du serpent = flexibility of the snake
and so on ...
Yes !
There is strange traduction, but in general, it's very good. It's hard to translate with a word an idea. There isn't always an equivalent.
You can have lot of traduction from the DRS here :

I thought it was interesting that le nain had the feat Weapon Focus (Dwarf Axe). Voyons -- c'est une hache de nain, n'est-ce pas?
Oups !
i think i miss to translate some term...
Nain = Dwarf ;)
Of course Dawrven axe is " hache de guerre naine"
Oups !
i think i miss to translate some term...
...
We call Franglais (or Frenglish) the D&D language aroud here (Québec), I'm sure you have many phases that fit that description in your games.
I'll check out that link, sometimes I need a translation and I can't get anything that doesn't sound to corny.
Bon jeu!
CHAUSSETTE!
:D
We have some good word... But we don't use "couteau de brèche". "Couteau de brèche" is a good word for "Coutille" / Glaive ... i think ...
I think the translator want a small word for each term. All the polearms ("armes d'hast") have the same stat (range, 1d10 or 2d4+trip or 2d4+disarm ... ). It's difficult two find the correct term : there is so much !
In wikipedia, there is no link between french terms and english term. In fact, we use the english terms and the french ones. We can use Glaive to talk about the romans sword, the gladius, but it can desgin the spear. We use Morningstar or Etoile du Matin to define the same weapons. But i think it's two weapons different : l'Etoile du matin have a chain, and the Morningstar doesn't.
In english you use Misericorde for la Miséricorde (fr). Miséricorde = Forgivness.
Here is some translation in D&D:
English / French
Glaive = Coutille
Gladius = Glaive
Lance = Lance d'arçon
Spear = Lance
Longlance = Pique
Shortspear = épieu
Ranseur = Corsèque
Falchion = Cimeterre à deux mains, but the translation of Falchion is "Fauchon"
Scimitar = Cimeterre
The terms of the armor are good. Chainmail = cotte de maille.
We use "harnois" for "full plate", but "armure de plaque complète" is also use.
Tower shield is pavois
Shield heavy is Ecu
Shield light is Rondache
Buckler is Targe.
chouette, un autre français :-)
ça fais plaisir de lire un peu la langue de moliere sur ce site quand on est comme moi pas tres doué pour celle de shakespierre ;)
Un petit coucou de Toulouse!
Fait un tour sur le scriptorium : il y a une version francaise de l'alpha 3.
On devrait monter un fanclub francais sur ce forum ! C'est cool de voir qu'on est pas seuls !

In english : Go on Le Scriptorium, there is an traduction of Alpha3.
It's nice to see we aren't alone ...
We should create a French Fanclub on this forum !
This sounds like a cool idea! It also sounds like a boatload of stat blocks to make.

Interesting. It looks like a lot of the French terms are actually the more "accurate" terms for weapons/armour. For example: Rondache, Lance (spear), Corseque (ranseur).
I have always disliked calling things "heavy [item]" or "great[item]". There are so many interesting names for things in multiple languages.
Oh, if anyone is interested, Couteau de breche translates roughly into "breach-knife" (ie. an elongated knife for reaching far).
