People who played along with the 6.2 rules gag.
I really like the look of 6.2!! The cover's better than the Dor Um
Avathar! I noticed some more differences in play for 6.2:
It's official, plastic knee guards are now worth 4 point armor!
You forgot to mention small shield has also been reduced to a square
foot so it's actually a buckler-class.
I noticed Stoneskins finally got reduced, now they're non-mendable and
you can only carry two max.
There's no longer any limit to the number of enchantments a person can
carry. Also, Wizards no longer need to remain still when casting
spells, so they're not so vulnerable anymore.
I noticed playtesting classes are now a part of the rulebook, so your
custom class is legal anywhere in Amtgard as long as your home group has
voted on it (except Gypsy of course); should lead to a lot of diversity.
- Oznog
Thank goodness they revamped the Barbarian class.
Barbarians can now carry enchantments after 4th level!!!!
Also, fireballs now must be 1 foot in diameter.
And Oznog didn't point out that not only are plastic knee gaurds
4 points of armor, silver spray
painted cardbord can now be worn
as 6 points of plate! Warrior is looking better all the time!
- Sable
It's bad enough when such luminaries as Oznog and Sable Cacophany play along, but the following was the
clincher:
Indeed, the 6.2 rules edition is now complete. I want to thank Oznog
and Roger in particular for all their contributions. Guys, your checks
will be in the mail as soon as we start collecting money from all of the
other kingdoms for their copies. Please note the contract expansion on
page 114 of 6.2 which specifically prohibits any kingdoms from using
any classes or monsters not specifically listed in 6.2
Also, there is an error, on page 37 it should say "8th level Paladins
may only be played by anyone who has achieved his _fifth_ white bel
{see the section on knight of the Phoenix}, thus only Tawnee, myself,
and Ivar can play eighth level
And finally, I want to personally thank Lord Kathon for his beautiful
layout of the table of contents, it is the best publication work he
has done to date... Well done!
Hope you all like it
