If the singular they good enough for Shakespeare, it's good enough for me.

Organizations: I would strongly encourage you to check out Belial's Brood. It's their Guide to the Sabbat. Drop some of the crazy and they'd make a solid covenant.[br][br]Clans and Bloodlines: [br][br]Physical disciplines should be brought back to their oWoD levels. For example, back in the oWoD Vig...

The victims were in many cases gun owners. It didn't help them, because owning guns does not help. [br]No, it didn't help because idiot bureacrats banned them from carrying their guns. You almost got my point when you said "...If someone has a deadly weapon at all, it isn't worth fighting them...

This is a common piece of rhetoric, but it is totally inane. Nuclear weapons are outlawed, and yet for some reason relatively few outlaws have nukes. [br]The difference is that nuclear weapons are not in wide distribution and are non-trivial to manufacture. The amount of guns already in the world i...

So...uh...wouldn't making guns hard to obtain reduce the percentage of crimes involving guns, whereas giving everyone guns would result in lots of messy situations? Or am I completely off on this? [br]When guns are outlawed, only outlaws have guns. And they WILL have guns. There are over 200 millio...

If the monsters want to attack the wizard, they will attack the wizard regardless of the stupid tricks the tank is trying. [br]That's entirely untrue. There are all sorts of abilities that would allow you to have a 'tank'.[br] [br] He can just choose to have attacks and spells aimed at other PCs ac...

I choose option 1.5: Fixed Fire Damage, but your weapons level up with you. When you gain a level, they gain a level.[br][br]Example: Fred buys a flaming sword at level 4. It has a caster level of three, meaning it adds fire three damage to every hit. Joe carries his trusty sword around with him unt...

1173718109[/unixtime][br]And Runethanes are sweet. Anyone who can turn the party Warmain into a machine that deals 4+ Save or Dies each round (by runing a crapload of throwing weapons ) and then turn his already decent defense into "if you touch me, you die" (by runing his shield) is a be...

I don't even know what "4chan" is, even after reading this thread. And I think I might be better off that way...

It's an anime-influenced bulletin board where people post lots of pictures.

In Magic d20, Wizards start every combat only being able to cast one spell levels' worth of spells /round. For every round a wizard consecutively casts a spell, the number of spell levels worth of spells he can cast per round goes up by one. Add in some sort of 'All spellscasting can be felt by anyo...

Therefore, tell me any problems or other elements you'd critcize (sp?), I'm all ears. [br]First, AU is based on D&D 3.0, not 3.5. Second, Monte's already released Arcanum Unearthed 3.5. It's called Arcanum Evolved. Make sure you get that version and not the old version. It patches some old cont...

It's an improvement on base D&D.[br][br]That's exactly as back-handed a compliment as it seems.[br][br]Fighters still suck, casters still own, designers still think there's anything at all you can offer someone that's better than new caster levels. Monte 'fixed' most problematic spells and abili...

I've never met anyone that actually plays with Diplomacy as-written. When I suggest a Diplomancer to a GM, they usually just stare at me for a moment and say "Uh. Ok. We're not playing with the rules as written on Diplomacy anymore. Uh. Opposed tests!" And then we move on.[br][br]Quantifyi...

What if all ice mages were given a free defensive power(Perhaps a standard one?) on top of their regular abilities? The other mage types would also get a free power of some sort. They would in no way be restricted from choosing whatever other powers they wanted, they'd just have that power too.[br][...

Yeah, if the Garou were supposed to be the tragic dying breed and the others gone or fragments from the war, all these books beg the question of how the frig many of these critters were there before the war? [br] Do you really want to know? I can, unfortunately, vouch for the accuracy of that artic...

Seriously, oWoD was so overpopulated with supernatural critters that if taken in all at once you've got a picture of trenchcoats being continually out of stock because everyone wears them to conceal their tentacles [br]Let me expand on his point.[br][br]I've got a nice collection of old Werewolf ma...

Orion,

My guess is a rewrite or a crash. Try this archive.org link.

Why would you have LESS of a reach bonus when attacking someone with fists at 30 feet than attacking someone with a 10 feet reach? [br]Because we don't want people to have unlimited bonuses to their melee tests? [br][br]Edit: Um. too glib.[br][br]Wave your hands and say 'MAGIC' with me. If you want...

The difference between "give lots of things the ability to attack incorporeal creatures" and "tone down ghost incorporeality so more things can affect it" seems to me to be pretty small. [br]One of those solutions involves editing every entry in the MM.[br][br]One of those solut...

That seems more a problem of the challenges rather than incorporeal...

No, it's a problem of incorporeal. What would you do to fix the challenges? Give werewolves, dragons, and zephyrs the inexplicable ability to attack incorporeal beings?

Catharz,

Way deeper. Check out Ancient History's website. Just pick a file and start reading. In a nutshell: They're set in the same world. Earthdawn is the 4th age. Shadowrun is the 6th age.

Ok, well maybe not a baby. But any adolescent child. The fact is that your dice pool is only going to land a success 1/3rd of the time for each dice. So if you want to reliably do 3 damage, you need 9 dice (which is a pretty big pool). And 3 damage isn't even a lot in that system. [br]I'm quite ok ...

I mean, the system can't even tell the difference between a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher. [br]Yes, it can.[br][br]Stats for the RSA "Dragunov" SVD: Damage: 4(9 again), 250/500/1000 range, 10+1 cap, 2 str, 3 size, cost ****.[br][br]Stats for the disposable light HEAT(Think LAW rocket...
