The Gaming Den

I know this might seem like a stupid question but is there no major issue with this guy getting multiple 9th level spells uses at 10th? I know you guys never heal in combat so all it really does is save on wands of cure whatever; but that is no small thing when everyone just got blasted by some seri...

It is amazing how quickly these theads can degenerate from incredibly thoughtful to dick and fart jokes

Well I suppose giving fighters cool strikes like slow and other status effects could work (frightning presence and the like) as long as it seems to be part of the fighter theme. I don't see how throwing up stone walls falls into that category. If that becomes essential to do than we're not playing f...

I guess I've got the problem of having a vision of what I want D&d to be rather than what it can become. I want the fighter to pull more cool tricks out of his ass than he has now but how do you balance that against the ball bustingness of wizrds. Flavour is as important as mechanics and dimensi...

Really I just looked through the spell lists using EMA's spell lists and looked at the summary not the fine print so some could be gash. Not really considered a prefered mechanic though I suppose the 9swords approach could work as well as any other. [br][br]Problem I found in 9swords was none of the...

Since the suggestion, and ignoring the slagging, there are tons of pimping spells for warrior; especially from the extended void of complete who cares and the spell compendium. many of the low level ones are swift or immediate[br][br]1st[br]Arrow Mind[br]Blades of fire[br]Distract Assailant[br]Incit...

Spells are basically special abilities. Have lists of special abilities preferrably several; that characters can choose can which balanced abilities they want to follow

Not seen the new gurps but I found 3rd-ed worked well for fantasy but was a bit too brutal in modern and crazy in Future. Gurps fantasy setting was kind of fun.[br][br]d6 was great for star wars but, as Rob pointed out, without feats and other swag for anyone but jedis to get some characters might g...

In Prak's defense, it's amazing how many people aren't playing that way despite how blatantly obvious it can be. The guys I'm playing with are mainly throwing fireballs around and stabbing people rather than save or sucking/dieing. even at 18th level, and our fighters have been keeping up; in part b...

As for having swim on the list - I just left the bard skill selection alone. Also, the class is supposed to represent people like Giacamo from The Court Jester - and I'm pretty sure he could swim if he wants to. And lastly of course, the class eventually learns Sirine's Grace if it wants, so having...

i enjoy the game despite its flaws but only because no one I play with have taken it quite to the level of stupidity which people here have found possible. But it has been blatantly obvoius that it is truly damaged and needs to be fixed. While impressed by Frank and K's work (which drew me to this b...

Well a bit too late unless I can convince the DM to let me reshuffle my feats; which, considering I would be doing it to min-max on him, would likely not fly. That's ok, its a bit too extreme though I wish I could just throw up all my bloody buffs at once. It would cost a fortune in cash and time to...

You do know the whole point of scarface is that Tony and his crew are not cool but the logical extention of 1980s greed right? You're not actually supposed to like him. They're scum of the highest order whose own greed and hedonism cause their own downfall.[br][br]Seriously why romantacize stupid vi...

for divine metamagic you also need to buy the metamagic feat itself don't you so you burn 3 for persistant divine metamagic; right?

1189577147[/unixtime]][br]I challenge you to a duel, knave. But seriously, why do people like OOTS? Ignoring the purposefully bad art, the humor is mediocre, the story is boring and purposefully childish, the characters are *cough* two dimensional, and the action isn't exactly action-packed. In add...

"Or ya know you can just go and visit there if all you want to do is bang a couple girls. Probably a better can than signing up for the army of a country that has been at war for the past 58 years. Heck just go to Goa in India its packed with Israelis just out of the army.

They take an awesome swipe at salvatore fanboys near the beginning of this one and swipes at so much else. Not as good as order of the stick but...

not sure how candle of invocation bead of karma or ioun stones will help, just increses caster level which won't up DC. and Phylactery of faithfulness just tells me if I'm going to be a bad boy which I don't need a magic item to inform me[br][br]What is that feat divine persistance taht has been men...

I believe you send money to Madonna and put a piece of string on your wrist to get uber buffs of +3000 to all stats and abilities on the buff is an illusion with a DC 1 for all opponents to disbelieve

The problem to using DnD races to emulate real world history is your choice in race is directly going to be attributed to a defacto commentary on real life cultures. So if your going that root, gnomes are your bankers (gnomes of zurich anyone?) squat with big noses and globally hated by everyone who...

1189344368[/unixtime]]How about an 18th century technoloigy "new world" where native elves have to adapt to an advancing horde of "old world" humans who are divided on the concept of bringing along some orc slaves with them to do all the manual labor?[br] [br][br]I know it might...

An ESL teacher in Saigon Vietnam. Some of my group want to found a Vietnamese Live Action Vampire game so they can be national directors and cheese their characters to the hilt and then go home and trottle all the munchkins who ruined their game in England. Ah the power of abusing the system.

I imagine this might be covered somewhere else but what are all the good tricks to pimping out my spell DCs. I'm tired of having to guess what spell to cast in our campaign where we're level 18 and most monsters have stupid high saves. My cleric has a Wis of 31 from a periapt of wisdom +6 and a book...

Right I was hoping for a clearly defined ability like "sneak and run at the same time" so we could make a list that people could use to thump out feats/spells/abilities/whatevers that fit the bill. This would sort of give us a checklist of things to try to make work so we don't need to dep...

Of course with most modern fantasy it is hard to say what came first, healers in fantasy which inspires RPGs or writers who were inspired by RPGs. R Jordan makes it pretty clear that the Wheel of Time is the chronicles of his RP sessions. And I imagine Feist and Eddings are much the same. Both read ...
