Two points: 1 Feats suck balls and are incredibly narrow (usually). As such, any feat that could possibly be useful in a wide variety of situations gets high marks. 2 Prestige classes have entry requirements, and prerequisite feats can only come from the PrC source or the Phb. Add to this the fact t...

On choosing when to die: In any given battle, a character has a choice concerning how their wounds manifest themselves. He chooses a Wound Path from one of the following: 1 Live to Fight Another Day: Your wounds inflict progressive penalties to your offensive capabilities. This encourages fleeing an...

Thank you all for responding. On to your points: I was under the impression that being a centaur creates an undue pressure on the entire environment, inconveniencing the party at many a turn. If it's difficult to get a horse somewhere, then it's difficult to get a centaur in it. This is a character ...

TNE and Centaurs
This thread is dedicated to discussing why a centaur type player character can or cannot exist in TNE, according to Frank’s subjective goals. It is my assertion that it is possible to create rules for TNE which create a setting which allows for individual player choice, without a centaur ever existi...

How the fuck are you suposed to answer that question a priori? You can easily answer such questions once you have decided on larger questions. We have already done this. Here is one specific example of the progression of rule building blocks we have used, prior to setting choice: 1A Do we want adva...

There is a difference between character building and in-game tactics. Bad tactics should equal less effectiveness. As for character building: If a combination of abilities appears to be good to a reasonable new player, and that particular combination creates a poor character (trap), then the game is...

PL, my memory of the details of this thread has turned into a morass in my brain. There were posts arguing stupid things (20+ pages after your initial posts), so I thought I would bring up the topic again and try to explain it in a different way. It is a solution. I haven't seen a better one. Sphere...

How many of you bought 4e? Supplements? Nobody in my gaming group has bought anything 4e. For comparison, my Dm has every Dnd 3.x hardcover book that has been printed (I think. I may be off by one or two. But then again, he has duplicates for a few books). The players 3.x books add up to probably a...

SphereOfFeetMan is a joke character I envisioned after reading the Dnd 3.0 Fiend Folio (FF). The FF was the first book to include extended rules for grafts and symbionts. You can see where this is going. Happily, there are no rules stating that you must restrict yourself to a sane number of limbs. S...

Threadjack. http://www.chrispramas.com/2008/12/rpg-musings.html Now the anecdotes I hear are sometimes interesting, but I try not to read a lot into them.

So Elennsar. Do you believe all the differences in the cultures of the real world to be irrelevant because we are all the same species? Differences in culture do not have to emerge from inherent differences in species. Read Guns, Germs, and Steel . Differences in cultures arise from many things: acc...

My preference: Magic items: -Obtained through completing quests. --(relatively rare) -No ability to directly increase your killing power. -Nothing adds a plus # bonus. -Pc's don't create them. --(Npc's might not be able to create them either, they could be eternal charms, like god-made artifacts) So...
