The Gaming Den

While I adore having multiple stats to add to saves, AC, attack, initiative, whatever...[br][br]They either need to break the game upwards so that it's easier for more people to get this cheese (and also add second stats to DCs, because they're way too low), or break the game downwards so that you a...

I live in Olympia, WA, and it's not really a surprise to me. We don't exactly have a high demographic of Arabic or Hebrew speaking people. Nor do we have a particularly huge religious community interested in studying languages like Hebrew and Greek - Olympia prides itself on the fact that it has one...

I'm 26 and live in Olympia, Washington. Married for 3+ years to my husband (Essence); no kids...

According to page nine of the Book of Exalted Deeds you're not allowed to instigate violence against something evil without provocation. So if those vrock aren't doing anything wrong, no - you may not randomly torture them just because they're vrock.

The alignment system sucks because it tries to force an absolute on relative concepts. And despite the fact that in the game, EVIL and GOOD are supposed to be these black and white, semi-tangible motivators of the universe, they cannot and will never be - because in the real world where this game wa...

No doubt!

Arabic huh? Why'd you choose that language Maj? Sounds interesting. I've studied a few myself. [br][br]I've been trying to get the Chinese form of calligraphy down,but it's so difficult...frustrating really :screams: [br][br]I've always had a desire to go to the Middle East, and when I moved across...

However, there exist some things in D&D which Clerics or Druids are better at than Wizards. This is, of course, horribly broken. If a Cleric is better at anything spellcasting related than is the Wizard - the Cleric is clearly overpowered in that as previously noted the Cleric is better at abso...

As the party's AC fiend (she who can never have a high enough AC), I would only ever consider taking a feat that dropped my character's AC if it increased my survivablity - like say, by giving me an extra attack, and even then, I'd like it to come with the ability to choose whether or not it's activ...

I don't know that a mere +3 bonus to armor is a good thing at 16th character level...

And level four still seems a bit weak...

And does Evasion only work in Platinum armor (because it's light), or does it work regardless of what kind of armor you're wearing?

That's 393,327,705 commoners with readied actions in the first round. In the modern world, that's about one person for every fifteen people on Earth. In the ancient world - that's significantly more people than there are. [br][br]You forgot to mention how many there were (or weren't) in the D&D...

Thanks!! Mine went awesomely!!![br][br]It turns out that while my vocabulary isn't as good as any of the other languages I've studied, using Arabic in D&D has helped me learn a lot of words my classmates didn't, my handwriting/calligraphy is so awesome that my other professor wants me to run nex...

The luck domain is there on Bahamut because of the good fortune powers on the Gold Dragon - which are in turn there because the Gold Dragon is based on the Chinese Dragon which is considered to be Lucky. [br][br]Every time I wonder about the mentality of the game designers, I find myself unhappy th...

I figured the Dragonwrack was as close as I wanted to get to smiting, largely because I just wanted something kinda different. I didn't want to take a normal class feature and focus it tighter. I wanted to add something.[br][br]The Luck bonus is there because Bahamut has the luck domain. Which means...

I looked up Bahamut in Deities and Demigods and decided to try my hand at improving the class as per Galahad Knight's request.[br][br]So here you go...[br][br] The Vassal of Bahamut [/b] [br][br] Requirements [/i][br]To qualify as a Vassal of Bahamut, a character must fulfill all the following crite...

Because he likes pretty numbers of classes?

From the pages of Final Fantasy d20. People should do this for all game design:[br][br] Characters should not become better or worse by taking the same abilities in a different order. Furthermore, nothing a character gets should ever go back and invalidate a choice made earlier. [br][br]You and I d...

Bad Design: Choose your Int Modifier in skills to gain a bonus in when you take this ability.[br]Good Design: Gain a bonus in one skill. Gain a bonus in all skills.[br][br]A character's Int Modifier will generally rise as their level increases. Thus, in the bad design system a character who put off...

Oddly enough... I'd like to point out that in discussing whether or not you are indebted to Bahamut, Galahad and I switched points of view and began arguing each other's point:[br][br]By saying that you are indebted to Bahamut, and that you will suffer loss upon collection of his platinum, you are a...

Yeah... Obviously you're rewarded for being good, so if you're not good, then you're not rewarded.[br][br]That doesn't seem like a debt, though... More like retail shopping.[br][br]I mean, if my friends pay me to make food because they think it's yummy, and then I start making bad food - they're gon...

But don't forget, there are strings attached.[br]by taking this money, the PC puts himself in debt to a dragon...not just any dragon, a dragon *gawd* who leaves the corpses of theves to rot into bones on the floor of his lair. [br][br]I disagree, actually. From what the book says, it sounds a lot l...

That's what "edit" is for on the post options menu on each of your posts.

Sorry if I'm coing off harsh or something, it's just I really don't understand the problem. [br][br]No, actually, you're not coming off harsh.

I think you're wrong here, Maj. [br][br]Wouldn't be the first time. ;)[br][br] The fact it's a class ability means that it should be exampt fromwealth by level guidelines anyhow.
