Or should we leave it as spell-like ability, maybe "rebuke/command undead as an x-level cleric? They also have this orginization that takes over the flying city- "the Grey Front"? Is that something that can be worked into a prestiege class? Ohad (Morphail) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.

Your method seems new and full of advantages. Is it possible for you to make a "How to" guide for this method of yours. Another good way is to use a prog like robodemo (macromedia) to make the interactive guide. Anyway, i am willing to be converted as long as: - the hex maps look like TSR's one - changes are possible and easy to make (borders, hexes symbols, etc..) - the map produced are not two big and would require a super powerful computer (which I don't have) And thanks for the kind words about my work. thib --- Thorfinn Tait wrote: > Havard wrote: > > Very nice Thorf! > > Thanks. :) > > > I have sort of moved away from hex maps lately > > (heresy, I know), but maps with tiles like these > might > > convince me to get back on the hex-wagon :) > > > > Looking forward to seeing more of this! > > I think that there are great things about both types > of maps, hex and > normal.

They probably wanted to keep monsters with spell resisstance extraplanar. But in Mystara they are certainly local guys.
