On Paladins: Guest, you are the guy who suggested Terry Pratchett, neh? Cool thread but they need to read the rules a bit.

Leress: How come you didn't post?

Btw, I loved this signature

Damn you Fwib, I was going to post that! :bash:[br][br][br]Oh, well. Take this thread on Eberron Artificers and watch me trying to convince people that Artificers can indeed do what the book says they can do. The more time I spend arguing over there, the more I start to hate RPG.net. WTF is wrong wi...

1183295145[/unixtime]]By the way, back when D&D was new and we were all idiots, was I the only one going OMGOMGOMGOMG SPELL RESISTAAAAAAANCE FAPFAPFAPFAPFAAAAAAAP in regards to the monk? [br][br]If anything, I did worse. The one thing I loved about 3rd was the Strength Domain. I had visions of ...

1183254605[/unixtime]]I always find myself surprised that the supreme court doesn't suffer a series of lethal accidents and diseases every time someone new comes to power. They are old and they are lawyers so they probably do not take care of themselves. It would not be that suspicious if four of t...

That was the reason we got a year of fillers! :disgusted:[br][br] 1183210835[/unixtime]]As for the social structure thing...[br][br]I realize that it's very hard to depict feudalism in the grip of pre-Industria...

A) Great story, keep it coming!

B) Shouldn't this be In The Trenches?

C) Your link to the Monk analysis isn't there.

1183087329[/unixtime]]Well I'm trying to avoid the who wish economy nonsense because I think that is too much BS for me to handle and I will just get bitchslapped by the DM for trying it. I'd like to make all the other players wish they were clerics in combat (which considering most are playing the...

Lago, i think you are overthinking Naruto. Not that I disagree, mind, but the whole point of the social structure is to have OMG TEH AWESOME FIGHTS!!!!!11[br][br]Was the stuff about Akatsuki mentioned, I haven't seen the last 3 or 4 episodes but I thought their motives were all mysterious.[br][br][b...

Dear Lago,[br]I am officially withdrawing from this discussion because I cannot defend my position. You are asking me to defend Exalted as a whole against D&D as a whole and I cannot do that until Whitewolf decides to publish Dreams of the First Age and we can finally see what the game is suppos...

1183140905[/unixtime]]At its core, it's not a bad idea. If you want to play at a specific power level, just stop advancement . Seriously, if you like 6th level characters, just play a 6th level game and don't advance things to 7th level.[br][br]Anyone who has ever played a WoD game knows with certa...

The E6 System! No leveleling after 6! Replace all advancing with feats! Fight the same monsters! What a fucking idiot!

1183064927[/unixtime]]Dragonblood charms are explicitly designed to be weaker than Solars and they have about half the size of their essence pool. A Dragonblood can and will burn through their essence pool lickety-split in a way that would make a cleric's head spin. The fact that they can use refle...

1183057537[/unixtime]]After you get strength to AC, you're effectively untouchable from mundane attacks. While reflex stuff does screw you, how often are you fighting enemies who use tanglefoot bags anyway? I mean obviously the DM can be a metagaming bitch, but I don't' consider it all that big a d...

1183038040[/unixtime]]The idea of Exalted heroes attaining better superpowers than D&D ones is, of course, an outright fabrication.[br][br]This is somewhat true at lower levels, but not really. To actually create a playable character, your charmset is probably going to be focused on a set of 'b...

1182974158[/unixtime]]Sh'mae? [br][br]"Oro" as a question is a habit I picked up from Rurouni Kenshin. It doesn't actually mean anything, it's just a generic question, usually implying I didn't get what you said. So, what did you say?[br][br] 1182974158[/unixtime]]Learning to maximise one...

1182945796[/unixtime]]Kid now, is it? I wish! [br][br]Oro?[br][br] 1182945796[/unixtime]]I didn't realise we were writing for an iconic party, I thought we were writing for a "likely" party... silly me. [br][br]Sorry? Isn't that what iconic party means? The party usually played by people?...

1182935132[/unixtime]]Some of these TPK's require too much cooperation on the DM's part, like the black dragon. If a dumb DM just lets the creature swim up to the PC's and melee it they will win easily. That's the beauty of the Giant Crab, it wins no matter what. [br][br]Read my scene directions ag...

I was, however, really really bored and I was on watch. Since we're not allowed to move, look around us, or do...

1182931411[/unixtime]]Whutwhut? Red whosis of the what'sthatnow?[br][br]The thing is, a Giant Crab works . The wyrmling Black Dragon doesn't; not for what they're after. Its breath weapon is a 30ft line that does 2d4 damage, it can't do enough physical damage to hurt the boat, it isn't big enough t...

1182865475[/unixtime]]snip [br][br]Er, I think you misunderstood me. The second dimension, the X-axis, represents how removed from the current Now point, (0,0), another point is.
