Any word on when the updated book will be coming out? I don't want to buy the current one only to have to replace it.

Perhaps parrying with a shield should be an easy task or parrying with a weapon should be difficult. It seems to me that learning how to parry with a sword would be a whole lot harder than learning how to attack with it. I'm pretty sure that I (with no training) could hit someone with a sword, but I doubt I could parry anything (at least without loosing some fingers in the process).

Another shield question-
I've been reading thru the brp rules and I'm not quite sure why using a shield is worthwhile. It seems like you should just take something big like a halberd and max your skill with that. You can attack and parry in the same round with a weapon, right? Instead of spending points on shield skill, you could put those points to dodge instead. Am I missing something here?

Just remember, Classic Fantasy is NOT a stand alone game. You need Basic Roleplaying for the core rules.
Is the Basic Roleplaying book absolutely necessary or can I use this with the rules from another d100 game like Call of Cthulhu Dark Ages or Stormbringer or even the BRP Quickstart rules?

Here is another one:
Hmmm... this sound interesting. It looks like a BRP version of Traveller. That's something I've been thinking of doing myself.

As a plus, it eliminated the low SIZ and or low INT human PCs. Such characters were little more than a "gamer's challenge" anyway.
But shouldn't the same logic apply to other stats like Strength as well? Would someone with a Con of 3 even survived long enough to become a pc? Perhaps the best way is the way Elric does it by making all the stats 2d6+6. Or if you don't want above average pc's, weight the middle more heavily by rolling 5d6 (drop the lowest and the highest roll) for each stat. That will produce very average stats.

Chris Pramas of Green Ronin muses a Freeport book statted for BRP.
Go and leave a comment and persuade him that it makes sense, and maybe even recommend an author:

In my first reading of the rules, the first thing that struck me as being a bit odd was that the INT and SIZ stats are 2d6+6 instead of being done as 3d6 like everything else. Why is this? It seems weird that all pc's are meant to be smarter and bigger than average.

I just got the BRP book about a week ago and so far it seems pretty sweet. I haven't given much thought to this system since I last owned the first edition rules for CoC. I'm thinking of maybe using this for a d&d or traveller type game.
why 2d6+6 for Int and Siz?
in Basic Roleplaying

Why are those two stats on a different bell curve than the other stats? Coming from D&D, it seems kind of weird.
