I have a problem with saying that it's ok for a 1st level guy to trivialize a mini-game because of a random roll on a loot table. That problem increases when said guy can randomly trivialize all the mini-games just because of random magic item rolls, and while he's got a vorpal sword, dude B has go...

Okay, now you are being a fucking twat. Not agreeing with you is not leaping to Frank's defense, and everyone past Frank responded to you civilly and helpfully. I actually meant that directed just at John Magnum (who wasn't responding civilly and helpfully). Yeah, I realize that sentence reads like...

But 4e standard seems to be their vision: Tim: Yes, we are looking to include many of these features into our close combat system. Specifically, opportunity attacks and flanking are definitely in, as well as charging. We're not sure about reach weapons yet (we need to figure out if that attribute o...

Frankly, I think the best thing to do with the Rogue is to give him full access to arms and armor and the ride skill, call him the Hero, and then get rid of all the other mundane classes (except possibly the Warlord). -Username17 My only reservation would be that I'd want to be able to play a non-c...

One thing that arises when you have insanely persuasive people (whether by spells or just huge skills) is that your more cautious rulers will try to avoid talking to untrusted people directly. When you want to tell the king something, you tell his not-particularly-persuasive secretary, who will the...

Shivering Touch makes the list because it bypasses most standard defenses to kill just about anything in a level independent way. It has nothing to do with what the dumbasses at BG think... they call Shock Trooper good, so they can be dismissed out of hand as noobs. Attempting to misdirect the conv...

GC, I was trying to stay out of this but you're a fucking idiot. Shivering Touch is banned from both sides. Because otherwise every encounter would be a Shivering Touch spam initiative fest. Ever heard of the term overcentralizing? Of course not, you couldn't win a competition if you tried. Ever hea...

Long story short, I've gained a huge appreciation for more abstract languages and I kind of resent the implication that programmers who don't know the fiddly under-layers of low-level programming aren't good at their job. When I found out that Java didn't have pointers and had things like generics ...

Orion, suppose the PCs are in a combat encounter. During that encounter they move to engage a new enemy that wasn't previously aware of them. For example, they kick in the door on the left (orcs!) then during the fight one of them ducks through the door on the right (spectres!). What happens? Is it ...

Probably not. Your staffing decisions are based on maximizing profits and cutting staff will also cut into those profits. You only cut staff when there is not enough demand to employ those staff (so you might cut hours because no one is showing up at those times of day, but if people would be showi...
