Oh yeah, I should ask, my Sustained spells go out once I fall unconscious, right? We were on a run, and I had Invis on myself and Increase Reflexes on the Troll gunslinger, and then I got knocked out when we were taken behind by a nasty nasty shock glove user (I was hit for 20 Stun in the first atta...

Wait what? All Concrete in the 2070s is actually metallic Ferrocrete? Well... so just about every large building wall ever is composed almost entirely of metal-type materials? Sounds sweet. So I guess if you had Shape Metal, Shape Plastic, and Shape Glass then you could shape like 80% of all the stu...

Once you get up to level 9 or so (Wish Economy), groups can travel to a planar or demi-planar hub world that actually does specialize in trade of magical goods. Security can focus on a single location to keep stockpiles of equipment and magic well protected, and there's enough people around that you...

While we're on the subject, Tome doesn't quite solve the subject of potions/wands/scrolls/etc. If WBL was being used, should consumables like that just cost 10 times as much so that they take up a significant portion of character/party resources for at least as long as they're sitting available for ...

I was wondering about the same thing. I put up my finalized character on Google Docs for anyone who's interested. My background is that I worked for Aztech all my life and I was very used to having the might of a MegaCorp at my back when I would interact with people (Magic and Business training, Cha...

:facepalm: Should sorcerer casting be avoided? I'm using Frank's Bloodline Sorcerer idea where Sorcs get 3 automatic spells at each level (based on bloodline) and an extra spell known every time they level up. Clerics get two spells known at each level (from domains) and a spell every time they lev...

Vancian casting and spell scaling caps
So, what's the deal with caps on DnD spells? It seems like they're really good for some things, but I guess a partial cap might do for the cases where stuff gets crazy out of hand (eg, Greater Consumptive Field, which gives an unlimited CL boost as you suck up more corpses). I was reading the 4e Psi...

And of course, black and white worldviews lead to fundamentalism and fundamentalism leads to weird sex. So for example, the fantasy novels of The Worlds of Gor have created their own... fandom I guess you'd call it. And they have their own weird sex . Because apparently that's what fundamentalists ...

The main reason I can see myself using Edge for isn't so much for spells, but for all the skill checks I'm called upon to make that I don't have any ranks in. Or maybe on drain resistance tests or something. I play a lot of nWoD and so I'm used to spending Willpower (out of my 8+) like water for +3 ...

Well, the guy we're probably gonna have GM won't show up until late the 24th, so we probably won't get to talk to him about gaming stuff until more like the 26th. He's done lots of Shadowrun GMing in the past (mostly 3E I guess), and the only reason he stopped being our Earthdawn GM was because he m...

Shadowrun 4e newbie questions
New to shadowrun, my friends and I are making some characters for the "4E 20th anniversary" edition. One guy has played a lot of 3e shadowrun, and two of us haven't played shadowrun at all before. There's some other guys (including a potential alternate GM), but they're not around at the m...

Lokathor, where do people who murder other people with their hands, or tools fit in? They're just Killer Good with hands/tools, as in literally killing you good. Or, slicing open reality, or punching with a Wave Fist, or whatever. To an extent, I assume that if a power is level appropriate, it's le...
