The Gaming Den

I always like to choose a Mephit for my Improved Familiar. Simply because I think they're cool.

Then I feel like I wasted a feat. Especially when they die. This feat is a lot nicer.

I once played a monk and told it to attack a prismatic dragon. I wandered off to get something to drink, and when I came back they were still failing to hit each other at all.[br][br]It's probably bad to play the PC games before playing and running D&D normally - they'll give you crazy ideas lik...

[br]And while I don't see any realistic link between pedophilia and 4chan, I'm the new guy so don't need to go around pissing people off - especially when neither of the above (excluding halfling sex, which I feel is less welcome than dragon sex) has anything to do with roleplaying. So fine, no more...

*mildly amused*[br][br]Back on topic: I'm using the template on a monster in a game I'm running. I'll report how decent it was when I see the results. Having said that, I just bet the players will figure out a way to avoid it simply because they can psychically detect when I want them to do somethin...

No.

You have answered correctly, thus winning one (1) internets!

I'll agree with Leress but answer properly (this is Jeopardy, right?):[br][br]What is an elephant? Now, I'll take D&D Monsters for 800.[br][br]Okay, seriously, that's a valid point. I really should have considered that, given I often change the description of monsters, sometimes quite dramatical...

Really? I'd love to raze a city over something that was my fault to begin with.

1187149910[/unixtime]][br]Ever heard of 4chan? Those guys would bang anything that moves. [br][br]Not always the case - I am a /b/-tard, after all. And you just broke the first two rules :tongue:[br][br]I suppose it would be all over /d/, yeah. Whereas half-dragons would be found in /h/, sometimes ...

I loved the titles. Whether for "cheating" (applying Failure title to high level dungeons for rapid leveling (then getting your ass kicked by the boss at the end)), or just for making people stronger - "My Hero" and "Shiny" spring to mind.[br][br]Though having the "...

You can not only wield rocks, trees, grass, warning signs, shopping trolleys (well, minecarts), crates and starfish, they also give you spe...

That's actually my lifetime goal. For him to use those specific words, too.

Wow, the whole thing really is so excessively dumb that it exceeds the amount of dumbness required to qualify for excessively dumb. That's bad .[br][br]In that second case you mentioned, I'd probably just resign all-up, sending the relevant authorities a photograph of my middle finger. Or goatse, la...

I also seriously hope that doesn't explain why people want half-oozes.

1187072003[/unixtime]][br]But the bigger problem is that 'damage' is useless when the wizard is slinging area effect save or die spells.[br] [br][br]Or summoning other creatures to sling area effect SoDs for him, because he really is that lazy.[br][br]Yeah, the fighter could vorpalize his sword, sh...

1187072171[/unixtime]][br]Unless you do twist the system on wealth generation, most LG characters are behind the standard wealth by level guidelines thanks to thinks like fluff items, upkeep costs, and expendable items.

1187067119[/unixtime]][br]Mythologically speaking, there are at least as many dragons which breathe poison, or are just poisonous, which the Wyvern already does. [br][br]Good point, and likewise some claimed that they breathed lightning (as in, all lightning came from dragons breathing), and I imag...

I'm a fan of dragons, I'll say that from the word go. Probably had something to do with my dad teaching me, at a young age, that dragons are real, they're just good at hiding.[br][br]He also told me lights were just "dark suckers". So I know not to believe everything he says. I know that n...

I'm not sure, as I don't play Living and just looked over the rules once, but don't they have the right to force you to retire if you go out of your way to keep your level down (via crafting, intentional death etc.)?[br][br]It sounds incredibly retarded if you ask me. The whole thing, that is.[br][b...

Nice one. Also, I like the "Just don't go into too much detail, I probably don't even want to know." part.[br][br]Let's say a player goes out of their way to be annoying, which you know they will, because we are all players (presumably - of some game or another, even if it's not D&D), ...

Yes, they seriously did just spend a hundred odd posts arguing that. This makes baby Raptor Jesus cry.

That's true, and Ceilingcat used to be (but left), and if it's not too arrogant, I'd like to say I'm at least reasonably intelligent, and float around there on occasion. I also see random others here who have names I recognize from there, so in general, I imagine there are the few, the proud.

Oh, valid point.

Why, to make them even less value for money and more chance-based? [br][br]Now I read the thread, and this one I find incredible:[br][br] [br]or find a clear and understandable answer from the kind and intelligent folk on this board .[br] [br][br]We're talking about the WotC boards here. WHAT intell...

Some friends of mine found more entertainment just by playing infuriating concepts, ones that sorted the easily irritate DMs out from the ones who could run with a joke.[br][br]On one occasion, the whole group put dresses on (all are male), and played post-op Half-Orc Bards. Strippers, no less. They...

Dude, fighters gain a +1 to hit ! That's clearly worth all the 9th level spells you can name! *trying to keep a straight face, but failing*[br][br]That is one way of handling it. I prefer the "Build everyone else up to spellcaster level and just bury the abuses" approach, although a world ...
