I think Whatever's point was the difference between classes, not between saves.

So while at level 1 the sum of all saves is 79 for warriors and 65 for wizards (-14), at level 21 it is 22/27 (+5).
(But, as the table is full of crazy, for warriors<->rogues that goes from -9 to +13, so yeah ...)

There's a difference between "not politically correct" (which here you seem to use to mean "not sugar coating shit") and "utterly reprehensible" (FATAL). Well, it was mostly the former, with a few moments of the later. (Describing necrophilia in a romantic way ? Discut...

Funnily enough, there is an RPG where you play Angels, I believe it was called "In Nomine". Apparently it had some GURPS? adaption, and the original games French version was apparently higher quality (took out jokes and like in current version?). Yes, I don't really know the international...

Noone's going to flip out about a CR3 Dragon, or a CR9 Dragon. So why are you flipping out about a CR3 vrock vs a CR9 Vrock? Because a CR3 Black Dragon is a size T wyrmling and a CR9 Black Dragon is a size L young adult, and that characters that know about Dragons know the differences between them....

Why an Alien Fighter and not an Alien Expert (Journalist), an Alien Gadgeteer or even an Alien with only racial HD ?
What skills/abilities does Superman have that are not granted by his Alien race ?

As an example you can look at Cyanide Bloodbowl which has a turn based mode and a real time mode.

There were horses in Daggerfall, back in 1996.

Frank, you just told us he specifically went on a sidequest to get a magic shortbow from some goblins, and that before that he was using a less-good shortbow. How is that not the same as having a magic shortbow on his wishlist? Are you using some bizarre definition of "wishlist" that no o...

I'm still rooting for a project to use a giant solar array in space that sends the energy to earth using a giant laser (which won't be used as a doomsday weapon. Promised.)
But maybe I watched too many James Bond/James Bond parody.

Katana user is not the same as katana-only, and you only ban katana-only characters. The character can still use a katana in case he found one.

If you allow a katana wielding character to start in your game, then you just made magic katanas "not ultra rare drops, but something you can and will loot". Otherwise you're an asshole. If you don't want katanas in your game, you block them right away, you do not pull a bait and switch. ...

I though 4E showed that trying to prevent it by going padded sumo was boring ?

If we go out together we pick a movie everyone wants to watch, and eat where everyone can eat what they want. We don't go to Bob's Barbecue if all they offer is meat and we have a vegetarian with us, only assholes do that. Wrong analogy, the vegetarian is like the fighter: he does not eat meat (use...

Newsflash, Frank: When I go to a restaurant, I don't randomly order a dish, I order what I want to eat. If the restaurant doesn't offer me the dish, but says I might get lucky and get it maybe, I pick another restaurant. Same for a cinema - if I can't watch the movie I want, I pick another theatre....

Or unless spells/powers that give flying (or other movement abilities) scale with the Athletics skill.

Another information that can be useful is the dominant mega-corporation(s) in the country and their degree of influence on the government.

No "???" step.

In order: - Playing with friends - When a plan comes together - A MTP where we succeed in demonstrating to a NPC that up is down - When schrodinger's cat results in an unexpected (but somewhat credible) way - When Karma or Irony strikes back - Planning (either for building/optimizing a character, or...

Does this means that emails sent using a gmail address do belong to Google ?
I mean, of course Google knows everything about its users, so why not the content their private emails.

If initiative is rolled the moment the monster sees you, then you're better not being in search mode. If the monster stands still and pretends to be something else while waiting for you to get close enough, then search mode is advantageous to detect it for what it really is, because you'd need to s...

10 or lower on a D20 is 50%, but we aren't talking about that (and even if we were talking about that, 7 or lower will be 35%, not 65% !)

We are talking about 7 or higher, which has 14 successful results out of 20, or 70% chance of success.

I'll add etiquette and politics/subterfuge (and by that I mean something like Machiavelli's The Prince).

Because non-casters can't have nice things ?

But AFAIK, Steve is the TGD-specific meme of the hypothetical one of a kind monster, from here and here.
