There is no such sweet spot. PR gave a nice scaling system, and the idea of factoring in degrees of success is an excellent idea.

Just do that, and make sure your ass is well-lubricated.

yeah now you can ignore my 2 posts per year or whatever. Your argument is completely retarded so i don't care about getting a serious reply. Seriously the only reason I bothered to sign in and post here today was that in your particular case K i was so disappointed with your seemingly complete lack...

I think of Eureka for the leaps of logic, but that's not quite as entertaining as the others.

All right, K has backed himself into a corner and has started playing the passive-aggressive game by ignoring people he can't logically defeat while spouting nonsense.

Thank you for your time, everyone, but I think we really don't have anything more to say here.

Yes, I do believe shadzar accused your idea of being bad and then restated your idea as his replacement.

Alternatively, Erik the Yellow Raider doesn't just pop out of a wall like some sort of high-speed fungal growth, but instead the PCs find a prisoner in the dungeon they are crawling through who happens to have high BAB and some tanking abilities, and would love a useful weapon so he can fight his w...

So your character Erik the Blue Raider gets killed by a hungry ogre, so you immediately bring in Erik the Yellow Raider except he's priced as a new PC and so loses a little XP and maybe a level, and has to live with minimal treasure for a character of his level (but hey, Erik the Blue Raider's trea...

Agreed. If you want to make a sword that shoots fireballs, you can either know fireball and enchant it or perform a well-known ritual among crafters while sprinkling ruby dust on the steel.

Can we agree loss can equal death IF by death we don't mean "play smash bros" the rest of the night? Because from my point of view, it doesn't make sense to always be captured and escape from all kinds of traps. I have been trying to advocate for "you die, but you can bring in a new ...

Oh hai K, the rest of the RPG world would like to have a word with you. Guess what? Most people don't play in your magic people-die-and-don't-get-to-have-fun universe. When a character dies, the MC gets another character to replace the dead one . Now, I could make up bullshit and say something about...

What makes Devil Ghost Body so powerful that it requires minimum level 20?

Well it's nice, but it stops scaling after you hit double digits, unlike the other scaling feats. What do then?

Demanding a teacher effectively teach their studends for free is unreasonable. That's crap. I teach sunday school for free, and I am expected to do it at least partially effectively. I even attend conferences and evaluations on my voluntary job. Why? Because whether I'm paid or not, I accepted a re...

Dude that's awesome.

Oh, thank you thank you darkmaster. All right, anyways. I was bouncing around the idea that VoP could be a prestige class, with "Vow of X" as a feat pre-req perhaps. It would be nice to see level 1 granting up to 3 abilities that you could get bonuses on, and then level 2 would introduce 3...

Shadzar, remember posted once saying that the DM owes the players "nothing". That's right, nothing. They should entertain him. And so you are trying to argue with someone without a legitimate design philosophy--a person who no roleplaying game is or will ever be designed for. So why are yo...

It might seem good, but it will only work when there are no "get infinite moneys" shenanigans. And unfortunately, D&D is full of those types of shenanigans.

Shadzar, your poor attempt at trying to divert your failures to another thread is not going to help you. Everyone who disagrees with you there will disagree with you here, and you'll get called an idiot in one more thread than you're being called an idiot in now. But let me help you a bit: Approxima...

I think this is more of an example of agonism and the human desire to not back down from a point. Shad can't admit he's wrong, so he keeps trying to back his point up. When those points turn out to be unfounded bullshit, he backs them up. And it turns into this endless cycle of stupidity. I'm sure s...

Well, at low levels, a 3d6 greatsword (that's the damage, right?) plus 1.5*Str is quite a bit of damage. For TGD players it's not too much, especially compared to color spray which can shut down encounters on its own, but that's still pretty good for an attack without any class abilities or feats mo...

SHADZAR ARGUMENT: You don't have to buy items with your money, so you can be balanced without it! FEATLESS ARGUMENT: You don't have to use your feats, so you could just get a bunch of ones that don't apply to your character concept and be balanced! NO CLASS ABILITIES ARGUMENT: You don't have to play...

Josh, you are the amazingest.

Oh dear, really? I've been using his classes and feats a lot...

I can't speak for anything else, but Aikido is generally considered quite different from the four you mentioned. Of course, it (and its relative, HapKiDo) both come from Daitoryu Aikijijutsu (apologies for butchering that spelling).

I like IE....
