Re: Talkin' bout Exalted

Well, the experience for age rules are for character downtime. But the major part of what frank is suggesting be 5 years old is true. Until the ripe old age of 100 you get 5 exp/year of downtime. There are suggestions that you be forced to put them in groups so that out of every 10 xp 4 goes here, 3...

Re: Talkin' bout Exalted

Ok, so to begin with, there is no way to have more than one form active at a time without PAoC, and even with it you can only either have all its prerequisites, or 2 other form.[br][br]Secondly, the CMoS form has a prerequisite of mastering an entire celestial martial arts charm tree. I'm not even j...

Re: All About Necromancy (repost)

Actually, the class you want to trick your way into in order to make true necromance ever worthwhile is the Contemplative. Though the chart states that you gain spellcasting in a divine class you belonged to, you actually can gain it in any class you had before having contemplative. Here's the kicke...

Re: Talkin' bout Exalted

Alright, I'm a little busy right now, so I am going to have to work on this more later, but I'll have a broken martial artist build put up here by next week. Then people will cry.

Re: Talkin' bout Exalted

Okay, if what you want is an absurdly powerful martial art setup, then you want to start with the prismatic arrangment of creation and move over to the charcoal dance of spiders. Both of these are in the siderials book, the first having like 4 form charms to begin with and then getting the ability t...

Re: Game Systems: when a disadvantage is not a disadvantage

The same thing should work theoretically for high-level fantasy wizards. While they can go teleporting around and installing rulers they want and killing monsters, these expeditions use up resources. Resources like hp, scrolls, magic spells, or just time. And in a world where your enemies can usual...

Re: Why has the traffic here dropped off significantly?

It Ends in Darkness is a game Frank was supposed to run on the In The Trnches forum.
The character concepts for it can be found here: http://bb.bbboy.net/thegamingden-viewth ... &thread=10

Re: Why has the traffic here dropped off significantly?

Indeed, picking up It Ends in Darkness would both serve to increase traffic around here and alleviate my boredom. I don't see where this is a bad plan at all.

I agree with Josh on this one. The old testament is one of the most interesting collections of plot seeds and adventure hook I have ever laughed myself to sleep reading.

Re: Main FAQ Update 12/22/05

Yeah, I just made notes about what each buff was doing whenever my characters had any buffs on them at all. Though it was admittedly tiresome when I had to note the effects of every buff from 1st to 6th level in the corner of my character sheet...

Re: 2E and Weapon sizes

1135134241[/unixtime]]Well, I can see there's no convincing anyone of this, but what can I say, that's just my opinion. I find the 3.5 system to be more intuitive and easier to use and found the 3.0 naming conventions confusing. [br][br]If you didn't, well great I guess, but I still prefer 3.5 over...

Re: 2E and Weapon sizes

[br] and perhaps "large curved sword" for scimitars and so on. [br] Actually, that would be a Falchion. A large scimitar is inferior to a falchion under the 3.0 weapon sizing rules because it does 1d8 instead of 2d4. Much like how you would want a large battleaxe or handaxe instead of a gr...

Re: Tentative first draft

But I believe the practiced spellcaster feat can't increase your caster level above your character level, so you should probably only have a caster level of 10 with Ur-priest.
