Can we please get back to the sorceror vs. the wizard and move on from the NPC debate and economic system discussion. Thanks.

Re: Looking for a set of superhero powers

Going off the other four characters, I guess, to me, you're missing a darker character. Sort of like the "Raven" character from Teen Titans. Someone with a mysterious, redemable quality. I like the idea of a character who has the ability to dive into other people's minds and use psionic-li...

Re: Puzzle Monsters and Tactics

My party tends to communicate well. We sit down and design our characters. After the first few combats, we get down to a routine, which at times can backfire, but everyone knows what they're good at. We come to rely on each other, expecting the rogue to hold back until a good flanking position is cl...

Re: Should deities just go away in the core rules?

I think that having a godless cleric defeats the idea of a cleric class. I've seen some pretty cheesey PC's who began as clerics. And I have to agree, if you don't want to play a character that worships a particular god, then play a wizard or a sorcerer. In the past I have found that some of the god...

Re: Oh, the games we play!

It's pretty much expected that you won't spend every moment of your waking life devoting stats and whatnot to combat and challenge solving, as the majority of roleplay seems to be slice of life and conversational, with emphasis towards the dramatic. In fact, taking active power or effectiveness hit...

Most interesting plots, npcs, etc

Sometimes I'll go through a bit of DMing block, kind of a time when I can't think of anything good for an adventure time. I hate those times. My experience with DnD has not been the typical dungeon crawl. We have a few in the campaign, but we love variety. So, I was wondering what kind of wonderful ...

Jack, I'm playing devil's advocate, because I do understand that you need to be intelligent with your character's abilities so that you pull your own weight.
