Re: Making Change?
Some merchantsand moneychangers figured out they could subtly shift their scales to hang crooked, and so allow them to cheat their customers. I believe (read it years ago) that merchants who used these crooked scales gave rise to the term "crooked merchants" and later, "crooks". ...

Re: Basic Fantasy RPG Core Rules 4th Edition
I found something in the Blink dog entry on page 69. In the first paragraph the sentence: "Teleportation is so easy for them that they can sometimes teleport away before being attacked; specifically, when a flicker beast know of the attacker’ presence." I think it should read: Teleportatio...

Re: Monsters as Player Characters
I can personally attest that a kick from a horse, hind legs at least, would definitely hurt someone in armor. At the very least it would send them flying. I can personally attest to that as well. Fun fact: horses kick to the rear. Donkeys and burros, however, kick just as hard front, back and sidewa...

Allowing characters to Attack then Move would give them more flexibility in combat, but it could also have some balance implications. It would allow ranged attackers to move out of melee range after attacking, making it more difficult for melee fighters to engage them. It could also make it easier ...
