Apparently Australia has banned small breasted women from appearing on pornographic material, citing that its a simulation for child pornography.

Oh and female ejaculation is banned too because its abhorent.

Potence 3 literally wrecks anything without Fortitude or adequate armor.

In fact, tank up on Potence and Celerity and you can shred.

I do have proficiencies.. and, can you elaborate a on 2? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I believe what Sinister meant was that you assumed that all the maneuvers are balanced and pegged at their level properly aka WotC writers did a perfect job at writing the maneuvers. Which is wrong.

Re: How to obtain balance in RPG design.

Words. Balance makes the DM's job easier and it makes the game more fun for the majority of people. It's not fun spending an hour in combat, plinking away for 2d6 + 5 damage while the wizard is flying around, shooting lasers, and killing seventeen enemies per turn. You didn't really read what I've ...

FatR, being an avid Exalted 2ed player, I feel that because I see so much potential wasted in what can be a great setting and game, I want to contribute by tying up loose ends, fixing crap rules and introducing more stuff into it.

Isn't it one of the few reasons why The Gaming Den is founded too?

Re: How to obtain balance in RPG design.

1) The need to balance players exists because they are working together on a similar level. A player who does significantly more than others can leave the others without much to do. This is a group game after all and keeping all the players working together is important. A player who does very litt...

I find it hard to believe you would equate class balance or rules mechanics with choices.

You might as well suggest that the DM gets his players to run full psychological profiling and behavioral tests to ensure that the DM has found exactly the right players to play with.

Having travelled a rather huge distance, the tired Knight of the Jungle silently finds a bed in the room and snoozes away.
I'll just assume Dana can get the information in the morning.

I'm sure you can roll with this Av, why not let it be and see how this plays out? I know not everything is happening according to what the module says should be, but modules are just there as guidelines, not actual rules yarr.

"I can sleep with you, but I prefer Alice. I think girls should sleep together with girls, less problems that way particularly when a room can accomodate three. And I second the recommendation for a medical specialist." answers Dana with a wink at Akarchin, a very significant wink.

You're not the DM and you call for a res. I can get behind that as a fellow player.

I'm merely responding to the DM's attempt to re-introduce an existing character back as an undead which goes against my character's beliefs. You wanna call me out for that?

Knights of the Jungle hate undead. Dana can refrain from killing any undead encountered within reason, but association with an undead is too far a stretch to accomodate.

Perhaps Judging Eagle could come back with a more coherent character?

Glancing back at the undead Dustmen leaving the scene, Dana mutters semi-loudly under her breath, her memory going back to a particular play she has read. Borrowing the skull from her soon-to-be companion, she holds the head up in mock theatrics. "Alas, poor Yorick.." Turning her attention...
