The Gaming Den

Urra. That was me in the above post, for the record.

And I changed it to "Weighs one and a half times normal"

Because armor that weighed twice as much would be fvcking heavy.

Magic is extremely limited. Warlocks, hexblades, and bards are the only classes with any access to magic at all.[br][br]And bards are too damn cheerful and don't have a dark magic feel. Plus I happen to dislike them intensely. So players will be... *ahem* strongly discouraged... from playing them. A...

PC Races:[br][br]Aradan*[br]Ashemi*[br]Dralloks*[br]Dwarves [br]Elves [br]Gnomes [br]Half-Elves [br]Halflings[br]Humans [br]Lahryk*[br]Makall*[br][br]* From AEG Mercenaries[br][br][br][br]I hate to say this, and please don't come after me with pointy sticks, but after taking a long hard look at both...

I can understand Cielingcat's point about "Why play a sorceror?"[br][br]It's about flavor, man. We want to play a caster whose blood burns [or boils or freezes or whatever] with the power of... powerful creatures. Yeah. Because we want to play full arcane casters without having the bookish...

Edited the Orc Flavor Text. It's not perfect, but it'll pass.[br][br]Added a +3 Natural Armor bonus [and a few other things, can't remember what.][br][br]Nix on the charge bit. I just don't think it fits, somehow...[br][br]What is powerful build? That bit about being nominally one size bigger than y...

Maybe we'll just give them all the Ancestral Relic feat.

Though what a god [or a sword-spirit, or whatever] would want with all that gold I have no idea...

But what's the point of having souls if a) there are no spells to power them with, b) there is no appreciable diving presence in the world [no clerics, and the paladin may or may not have spellcasting], and c) there's no way to link to the lower planes to sell them? [because there's no gate or porta...

But there's no magic strong enough to trap souls, and no rituals to use them in, for good or for evil...

It's back to that old saying, "Money can't buy happiness."[br][br]Honestly. If you have essentially unlimited money, why would you bother acquiring it?[br][br]The prime impetus for adventure would once more be simply that: the adventure.[br][br][br]So where does that leave mercenaries in a...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all of the Fire Mage's abilities are either spell like or extraordinary, and that in turns means that they suffer from no armor check penalty?[br][br]Which means I can burn people while wearing full plate?[br][br]I mean, talk about tanking. Damn![br][br]And, just for fun...

Very true.[br][br]And castles. Pay lots of peasants small amounts of gold and have them build you a castle, and the "gold is valueless" problem disappears - you're doling out large numbers of small amounts.[br][br]Become a baron! Become a duke! Hell, conquer as much as you can and call you...

What do you do in a high level adventure where wish is unavailable?[br][br][As in, mine.][br][br]Is gold still valuable across the 15k gp limit?[br][br]Of course, since there are very few magic items anyway, I don't suppose it matters much.[br][br]What would you do with gold in a high level adventur...

And how does it work?

And lastly, where can I find it?

1175288048[/unixtime]][br][br][br]Anyway, Aktarial, I think you meant "Horde" not "Hoard".[br][br]The first means a lot of people, the second means to store stuff.[br][br]Also, I think you meant "hardy" not "hearty" when describing orcs resiliance to disease....

Are people not getting this? Let me make this perfectly clear.

No one is playing an orc. Any kind of orc. Orcs are the enemy. They are scum.

Our mission is to eradicate them.



No one plays orcs.

Tempests do it with both hands.

Ninjas do it in the dark.

Rage Mages do it all.

Like the title says...[br][br]Written by and with thanks to my brother.[br][br][br][br] Notes on the Orcish people [br][br]Orcs are every bit as ugly and foul-tempered as wild boars, but only half as smart. -An old dwarf joke-[br][br]Notes on the appearance of Orcs[br][br] * Canine teeth[br][br] * S...

Nope. Sorry. No casters. Just doesn't work like that. We want to simplify, and having 300 [at least] pages of spells to choose from is not simple.[br][br]Yes, the revised warlock is on the list. We shall see if anyone plays it. At the planned campaig brutality level, we may go through characters rat...

Depending on your frame of mind...[br][br] I am going to tell you a story of our land, a great and terrible tale of possibilities that were and are and have never come to pass. [br][br] In the beginning was the First Age. This was the Age of Men, and Magic, for Sword and Sorcery reigned supreme, and...

Catharz: In this case, yes.[br][br]Brob: I have no idea. I don't have my books handy; they're halfway around the world at the moment. :ohwell:[br][br]EDIT: What's the range on Searing Light? Is it really five miles? [br][br]Speaking of qualifying, how about Fire Mage qualifying for Hellfire Warlock?...

*shrugs* Maybe I'll just go back to playing a fire mage...[br][br]I was referring to yours, Cielingcat.[br][br]What I meant was, +1 level of spellcasting class would upgrade your sphere access as if you had gained a level in the warlock class. Myabe you don't get a new sphere at that level. Oh well....

There's more than one?

I think I'm referring to yours... I found it in the same thread as the Fire Mage...

Where can I find the other one?

1175109630[/unixtime]]If you use Races of War, you likely also use the Dungeonomicon, which means you should probably use the Boneblade Reaper retooled to work with the Dungeonomicon Monk. [br][br]Yes, I wondered about that...[br][br]Thank you for the link, Endovior.[br][br]So, you can theoreticall...

1175086903[/unixtime]][br]Wizard/Monk. [br][br]Right. That still kinda suffers from MAD...[br][br]Maybe a Dread Necromancer?[br][br]Who designed this class? What did they have in mind? Any sample builds around? Even a hint would be enough to get me up and running...[br][br]There's got to be a Quint...

Where? I don't.[br][br]The fact that they're balanced to something that no longer exists in game doesn't matter all that much; they are still balanced relative to each other .[br][br]We didn't remove casters specifically becuse they were overpowered [they are] - we removed them mostly because they w...
