Re: Playing the Same Game

I guess I failed my Wit check. I was attempting smartassery, not suggesting that low level characters should arm themselves with Epic magic items.

Re: Playing the Same Game

Unless you give the Cleric and the Rogue wands of Harm, and poke it to death in its lair where it has trouble flying around.

*glee* Free money.

Re: Anti-Transhumanism in Roleplaying Games

1152552202[/unixtime]]This is where I think you go astray. Equality of opportunity is not the same thing as equality of outcome. I see no reason why you couldn't have a setting where everyone could be a "hero" (in the sense of having levels, gaining Exaltation, learning wizardry, or whate...

Re: Playing the Same Game

I always assumed that the low CR shared by all the Dragons was because they gave you so much damn treasure.

[br][br]No offence, but whoop-dee-shit.[br][br]Roleplaying games are generaly based around the premis that the player characters are better than the masses, and that they are trying to surpass people whom are, in turn, better than them.

Re: Playing the Same Game

1152511517[/unixtime]]Nidhogg: That must be the most inflated view of a fighter i've ever seen. [br][br]You clearly don't know how to build a good one. A good fighter needs to be able to get the most out of every gold he gets, and benifits the most from magical buffs (especialy the ones that can be...

Re: Playing the Same Game

Bard: [br]My current problem with the bard is that his mechanics are ass-backwards. Why the hell does he even *have* Bardic Music when there he has perfectly good spellcasting abilities. Take away Bardic Music, give him lots of (non-suckage) buff spells, and make that his niche.[br][br] A hallway f...

Re: Feats

I've always viewed Dodge as 'the crappy Feat' that you have to bite the bullet for in order to get 'the good Feat'. While Mobility is next to useless on its own (because any build that frequently draws AoO will have Tumble, which has static DCs) Spring Attack can be a fairly useful feat when used co...

Re: Feats

A well built fighter could probably kill a Pit Fiend, assuming he's two-weapon tanking and didn't waste a feat on something stupid like Skill Focus or Whirlwind Attack. The fighter's chances are much higher if he can fight it indoors on the Prime Material plane (and not in a hypothetical wide-open f...
