Aid Another
How does one make it exist in the space between "suck" and "overpowered"? Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but are there any games that do this well? I ask because I was working on a system of treating mooks as groups, but at small numbers, they would be better off if they ...

You could even use some unholy combination of the two, and have very fine-grained control over when it makes sense for character to use their at-will super moves and when it makes sense to use their at-will normal moves. The advantage of the Wheel of Fortune, however, is that you don't need to spen...

Re: Incompatible Design Goals
I'm guessing that this relates to your concept of assumed/enforced dual-classing. However, when speaking of character creation, any two choices will impact the character as a whole, so one must consider both before choosing either. So although it does save write-up effort and page space, it isn't a...

Re: Incompatible Design Goals
Orthogonal Idea: Choices can be cordoned off from one another and made independently. Making a choice from 100 possibilities is going to take a long time. But making a choice from 10 can be done in a short time. If you make two independent choices from 10 each time, you will have in total generated...

And as an additional note, you should remember that his most famous duel was won with an oar. I'm sure he would find your arguments silly. This, among other things, is why I think that differentiating between swords as much as this thread seems to be trying to do is both pointless and not even actu...

If I'm understanding the question properly, I don't think that there is any sort of rules fix for this. The only solution is learning to detach one's own opinions when approaching what they have said, and approaching it from the perspective of the NPCs listening. A medieval lord has vastly different...

Many of the life forms, both human and non-human, possess psionic powers. Psionics or psychic abilities are still paranormal phenomena which can not be fully explained by science. the powers seem to come from the individual rather than being drawn from a forgein energy source such as magic. however...

I don't mind there being a cost....but there still should be a residue. For your lich, he can't learn new spells, but he still knows his old spells, spells that came from before he was a lich. Similarly, a ninja who became a lich probably won't be so good at disguise anymore (undead horror, after a...

some people are going to create characters with a wide variety of seemingly unrelated abilities, like Superman Generalists need to die. As much as that would make game design easier, the generalist is a character concept deeply embedded in literature. You can't just dismiss it because it's hard to ...
