No Druids in the core books? Hurrah!

1201451833[/unixtime]] 1201450655[/unixtime]]Alter Self, can we stop talking about it now? [br][br]Well, at this point no one knows what Alter Self "does." After literally dozens of fixes, some of which layer on top of each other and some of which replace other fixes or whole sections of ...

Also, I don't want the characters to devolve into angsty Iron Age heroes... without good plausibility. All but one of the heroes are teenagers from mid-upper class homes who did not know poverty or violence to develop such a world-view, so their behavior and zeal towards revenge on gang members and ...

He just uses his powers for self-gratification. I'm going to have to revise his character, both mechanically and ideologically (stress on the ideology part). If he doesn't, am I in the right to out-and-out make his PC an NPC villain who became drunk on power? I think that its plausible, because abso...

I'll keep it in mind. I hate excessive use of numbers! I try to change one small thing, then I end up with more changes than I can count! My latest problem is that a PC of mine spent nearly half his Power Points on Mind Control, mostly to be used for juvenile delinquency, mostly making people say &q...

I recently joined the Atomic Think Tank. [br][br]It seems odd in that an author's response to some of my characters would be "too powerful," but virgileso says "too weak." I don't know who to believe...[br]Frankly, I'm getting tired of all this number-crunching. I think that I'l...

Don't worry, I fixed my post. I can't predict the whole board breaking happening, I just did a single quote.

SRD wrote:Epic level use of Escape Artist

Speaking of stuffing people up asses, this use of an epic skill came up in this movie, when they shoved a boy up a donkey's ass to smuggle him out of Italy.

If only somebody just answered the poor guy's question by saying "no."

I like him, but just one thing: how could he fight against Incorporeal heroes? None of his powers apparently affect incorporeal enemies. A hero with Elemental Control (Water) could use his own density against him by summoning up a flood and drowning him. He still needs to breathe, as he doesn't have...

You simply can't link to any pictures with nudity, including those from said books, or, you know, hosted on ...

Surgo at [unixtime wrote:1200954842[/unixtime]]Bleach just needs to edit his own post to end the quote tag, should fix everything.

I did put an end to the quote tag, it just doesn't show up!

Edit: Fixed.

I didn't mean to.

Voss at [unixtime wrote:1200946586[/unixtime]]...but I doubt there's all that much interest several years.

Kreia is an idiot! If you're going to have a Sith NPC in you're party, at least make it so that players can empathize with her!

Voss at [unixtime wrote:1200889269[/unixtime]]Bleach- do they really intend to release more stuff? Their products page doesn't really have anything indicating a future release of any sort.

I heard about on Amazon and the WotC message board that they plan on making a KOTOR book.

1200876345[/unixtime]]Star Wars d6 seems okay, if you accept that Jedi are simply better than everyone else (translation: all-jedi or no-jedi parties), and you give people free knowledge skills. The biggest benefit of the system is that it is extremely simple. [br][br]Does it capture the "high...

Somebody needs to stat out some Biker Gang thugs. And maybe a super-strong Powerhouse biker leader named Roadhog.:smile:[br][br]LAGO, you have once again peaked my interest and imagination. Your setting sounds awesome![br]As is, how would trade units work? What is valuable in Esporte would be useles...

The Star Wars RPG seems doomed if this keeps up. The Starships of the Galaxy has new talents and stuff, and they plan on releasing more products this year. I won't be surprised if SAGA turns into a D&D power-game clone. It is basically the same thing; combing through abilities of multiple classe...

1200860925[/unixtime]]OK, so he comes second then :P [br][br][br]Edit: could the Samurai be made less abusable by making the Kiai auto-confirm crits? That would move it away from high multipliers and actually towards the broader threat range weapons, of which the ideal one could in theory be the ka...

Would +12 be a bit too high?

Checked out FUDGE, liked it. Have the PDF.
From what I saw of the combat and healing section, is the game intended to be more "grim and gritty" instead of "high action?"

How much should I boost her Toughness to make her an average PL 8 encounter? +2? +4?

I reduced Honey Bee's Toughness save by 10 and replaced it with Paralyze, having the Stinger being part of the costume. I then replaced Stinger not part of the costume with Stun.[br]Here's her new stat block:[br][br]Honey Bee Power Level 8[br]Str 16 (+3) Dex 16 (+3) Con 16 (+3) Int 12 (+1) Wis 14 (+...

Although I like to invade an orc's home, raid its valuables, and loot its corpse as much as the next gamer, but even in a Core-only game, the amount of variable modifiers/buffs are too tedious for me to remember. I took a break from d20, and found myself enchanted with Mutants and Masterminds and Gr...

ZOMG, what a clever, mature, and witty response!

But seriously folks, flaming each other never works out in the Gaming Den. Such is the way of the Internet.
