The Gaming Den

Well, it'd have to be a move action, right? Just like strapping on a shield or drawing a weapon. It certainly doesn't take a standard action to pull a blindfold down from your forehead.

Yeah, so when the fight starts, you put the damn thing on. You're good.

Huh. I appear to be mistaken. Still...

You wear your magical robes over your armour. When you want to use the magical robes, you turn off your armour's magical properties. Like wearing ten rings.

Robes can go over armour and still count.[br][br]It should also be noted that a Ring of Chameleon Power is impossible to make with a caster level of 3, since you need CL of 12 to get Forge Ring.[br][br]So allow me to answer your question with another question.[br][br]Why does a Helm of Blindsense co...

I stand by my belief that people are stupid. I've met too many stupid people to think otherwise.

George Bush was re-elected. C'mon.

We can argue about who or what is to blame for rule inconsistencies and poor game management and weak products all day, but it really comes down to one thing.[br][br]People are stupid.[br][br]If even fifty percent of D&D playing population in just North America, not even the rest of the world, w...

Hah! You said 'consistent' in regards to D&D!

...

Wait, you're not joking, are you?

Noiche.

404'd!

Jesus shit... if a regular crab can do that... no wonder Giant Crabs are so powerful...

Well, duh.

Actually, there's a limit on most item crafters: experience. Artificers bypass that limit.

Without Rule 0, we get
[counturl=68]this[/counturl].

Also, Artificers break the game in the first place and should be shot.

With Evocation.

Don't Blue Magi classically gain their magic by getting hit by (and surviving) it?

Ah, you haven't been keeping up. That math was fixed more recently.[br][br] Second, you have to be either Essense or Void; you 'can' be both, but your tiers in each have to always be balanced. Since each tier always costs retarded (16 per tier and 16 per spell) you don't see any 'balanced' mages. [b...

I'm also well in favour of the one-level-lower-than-average rule. It actually makes there a penalty of some sort for dying. If you're dropping more than that, though, it just gets stupid.

Actually, getting (straight) Essence 9 is just as expensive as getting Essence 5/Void 4, which is why it works so that all your tiers of your lower True Element get absorbed into the higher one. Thing is, Essence 5/Void 5 costs as much as either one at Tier 10. So if you want to have access to the h...

I dunno, I always figured that since Golems were really just robots without vital parts, while creating them you could give them a pre-programmed set of instructions or something stupid like that.

Of course, the way the rules work for making any kind of servant is pretty dumb.

The Golems or Zombies would have to be animated/programmed with that kind of behaviour, but it is perfectly functional for it to have been done.

Meaning you only have to play a newbie-level character once, then work for the bad guys for a year, then pop back in suddenly an archmage.

Hey, I love the idea of Social Interaction Rules.

They just need to be seriously re-worked is all.

Stop thinking with your broadsword.

What's this? Druids and Wizards being the best? Wait a second, something's wrong here...

Where's the totally broken Rogue and Cleric abilities? WHERE?!?!?

Well, apparently Epoch is being run by people who aren't total dicks and who do approve of attempts to break the game, so I don't think it's a big issue.

That's only what I've heard, though. We'll find out when we get there.
