tussock have you considered playing 4e instead, Srsly. The Fighter is going to feel small in the pant whenever people do something other than swing at people for damage, but that sure as hell isn't a problem with every other class . That's a strawman, right there, at least if we assume his core pos...

Besides the fact that Jon Snow is a derp in all ways...? I think he does a remarkable job, considering that he's seventeen . Fourteen in the books. I can see it being potentially annoying that he gets most people on his side with relative ease and has no determined opponents who aren't shown as tho...

It's unprecedented generosity for a wizard to spend about 6 seconds and not a single permanent resource to shit out a Fabricate a day for the poor smallfolk Judging by the history of revolts against the abuses of the elite, in a situation where the wealthy are both more vulnerable to and more depen...

It's unprecedented generosity for a wizard to spend about 6 seconds and not a single permanent resource to shit out a Fabricate a day for the poor smallfolk who live pitiable lives and can never hope to threaten him?

I vaguely recall that the exclusion title thing was thrown out the day we got the ignore button. I think he's free and clear to partake and on top of that he did do an excellent job calling LM out on his shit that he should be forgiven regardless of the legality of it. No the X stay out thing still...

It occurs to me that DoomRL seems to have a lot of boxes ticked in the way of anti-grinding due to its objective of being relatively small. You can't just let infinite monsters spawn for infinite XP (anymore), a finite number spawn at the start of each level and new summons (or Arch-Vile reanimation...

Kill the PC in a story, and very little changes. Kill the PC in a character-driven story, and the story gets downgraded to a basic story that sucks. No, kill the PC in a character-driven story, and the story is simply cut short, possibly causing fallout that leads to new stories. Of course the PCs ...

So I'll sum this one up: In RPGs, roles cannot be played if their primary ability is expert knowledge the player does not have. I would be inclined to narrow this to expert knowledge the player does not have that some player, somewhere, has a good reason to have . After all, part of the Archivist's...

Steel plate chest armour saw continuous use from about 1350 to 1918, was out of favour for a few decades, and is now back in composite chest armour. It's great stuff, and it totally stops arrows. Continuous use? I thought there was a period in the middle where armour technology simply wasn't capabl...

My Skype group sort of had an origin story session last, er, session. After taking advice in spoiler-free terms the person GMing this particular campaign had got us to agree to give him one free session that would be considered a one-shot for commitment purposes, because his premise depended on us n...

Well, it stops people from going totally off the RNG. I guess that's an advantage. No, it just changes what the meaning of going off the RNG is. Adding more AC or To-hit doesn't change anything, because you're off the RNG. The fact that you still have a 5% chance of hitting or a 5% chance of missin...

But my cleric has 8 Wisdom and can't cast any spells. OMG TRAP OPTION!!! I disagree, I don't consider metamagic feats an option for someone who can't cast spells in the first place. Which is why I pointed out that bad options aren't options. I don't know what to tell you. If you look at something a...
