...so they looked at the oWoD MET rules, which genuinely didn't suck, and said "Hey, let's cripple all the good options?"

En garde, bitches!

Anyway, if you create a character that is uber at 1 or 2 things and level 1 at 3 or 4 things out of the box, that character will likely bust OWOD. If you teach the other players to build the entire party like that the game has no challenge because you have a party of grand masters covering most of ...

Remember: even a guy who has a Greatsword and spent a feat on some as-yet unwritten THF feat still has less resources expended than the TWF guy. Because the Greatsworder has seven free magic item slots, and the Dr'zzt clone has six. -Username17 Doesn't this perhaps suggest you should be able to get...

Well, as you've noted - Deep Ones can't be vulnerable to water. It would cause a paradox wave to swallow the sun. About the best I could do as far as that goes is to swap Lycanthropes and Leviathan Alcohol for Sunlight. Do you strongly feel that's a better assignment? I don't, because I don't think...

I honestly don't care what happens at level 20. I ran a campaign that high once, busting out the ELH and it was totally batshit insane . To challenge the party there were rooms with literally forty giants in them, and most of them were Cloud Giants on up. This was an actual quote: Player1: We want ...

But it you want to jack AC high enough to root kite Giants, you can certainly do that. -Username17 Please explain how. Not the AC, I buy that. Please explain how a fighter (unless we're assuming some wacky Spiked Chain/Standstill bullshit) makes the Fire Giant fucking care he exists instead of walk...

Just walk away. Its fail is too great. If you absolutely have to play a Battletech RPG get GURPS or Savage Worlds and adapt them. Let's be honest. If you want to play a battletech RPG, you want to be using mechs, and there's already a game for that. It's called Battletech. (The balance is...questio...

The more I read, the sadder I get. I gotta rewrite this shit. Just walk away. Its fail is too great. If you absolutely have to play a Battletech RPG get GURPS or Savage Worlds and adapt them.

Honestly, anybody who is a mechwarrior grognard, what is the differeance between the factions from oldspacace? Yeah... well... the Clans are bullshit. Basically they are just space elves. Clan Smoke Jaguar are treacherous Dark Elves, Clan Ghost Bear are honorable High Elves, but what-fucking-ever. ...

Ugh. Due to foreign travel, I will have very limited internet access for the next two weeks. To keep the game moving, I would like to delegate Quantumboost (whom I know IRL) full authority to play Tammi, if that's OK with you, Kaelik. Make me proud, QB. Which means disgust your local priest or moral...

You can seriously just assume the the world *isn't* ending though and use large chunks of setting material as-is. That's the point of the wanking off to "Travel is difficult! Creation is big!" -- that you can choose an area of Creation with 0-1 world-destroying threats and pretend the res...

The Exalted game I really want to play is the one where the PCs find out about the Great Curse and try to rectify it. And yet I get the feeling from everyone in this thread that WW SWAT teams will come down on you if you try and play that game. Seriously, that game would be awesome, and I'd happily...

D&D. I've heard everyone talking about Conan and Vance and Moorcock and whatever. Those aren't the biggest influences on D&D (anymore.) Let's face it, D&D is old enough to be considered source material for an RPG, and at this point, every modification to D&D is aimed at making it lik...

...ping, Kaelik?

{ Who is being waited for on this turn? }

I'm going to say that suggestion is an attack, but it's an SLA, so they don't know you attacked. However, you still get hit, because that one guy made his save. And that's also the reason the other guys didn't. Also, the way that ability works... Well, it's really a defense not a fight stopper, sin...

{ Kaelik: understandable confusion. I'll try to be more clear in the future. Also, (while it's too late for the last round...) I entirely forgot about my Persuasive feat: Your words can stop fights before they start. Any creature that can hear you speak must make aWill save (DC 10 + 1=2 your charact...

{ Tammi is hovering in the air specifically so some chump with a sword can't reach him. How did he get stabbed? }

{Oh, Kaelik, quick question: do you play that spellcasters know if opponents passed/failed saves, or not? }

Those should synergize tolerably we...

Nethack players say "foocubi", but that's probably too nerdy.

I aim to please.

Though I always hate when DMs say that. I don't know which extreme I brought you to.

Tammi picks himself up off the ground, dusting off his clothing and adjusting his hat as he orients himself [in T12.] Looking at the blue hobgoblin, he speaks--"Aren't you mad at those other stupid, incompetent hobgoblins? Don't you want to kill them ?" before unfurling his wings and flyin...
