The Gaming Den

Yes, but that type of thought is a fallacy - namely, giving power to A because he can break B that will further break B so he doesn't break B and does option C instead doesn't always hold up. At the base of it, D&D Is a game, which means it has rules. DEfined rules. Not "whenever the refere...

But your way makes them useless, as at least currently, the DM can't pretend to run by the rules and play hurt-the-person-I-don't-like.

GIving more power to the DM doesn't work.

... I'm sorry, when did D&D becoem Cops and Robbers? Your system is too dependent on a good DM, and it pretty much throws rules out of the window. (Oh, and Grease, infinite casting? Wow. You're begging for it to be broke.) [br][br]IN essences, sticking your headin the sand and going "The DM...

Because you cannot guarantee the DM is good and the players aren't - for example, if the DM is bad but the players know the rules the DM will overrule them if it's not a outright rule . [br][br]It simply does not work to depend on the DM. Ever. THe rules should run so that hte DM can know nothing - ...

.. Neeek. That's for a poll tax. And as it's free to work around getting an ID, that is much like arguing X Is invalid because of y although you can bypass y.

(Secondly, the tax is on the service of a driver's license. NOt to vote.)

WWII leaps to mind, yeah.

Actually, I hold that if you want to outright play something too weak to contribute, you should expect the DM to power it up. While it is a bit of presumption on his part, I doubt it is right to expect that your party members will continually reserrect you, take your share. IT's not fair to them, ei...

Because wizards can pump out much more power than a warlock.

(And wands do require some money.)

Iaimeki: I have had a female DM bring up rape of an NPC on-screen. SOmetimes, it's just "Well, tehy did this in the middle ages"

THIs race is out of Redwall (although I'm about to change that, but I'd rather have the mechanics work out)[br][br]THe design behind it was a fighting Lord, that is, a fighter who's naturally tilted towards Leadership.[br][br] [br]Soul of the Badger Lord's[br][br][insert refrence to missing monster ...

I think you can play evil - as in, you don't see the point in killing people, that's not why you're evil. No, you're evil because you don't seem to care about magical experiemnts on people, or making people more or less batteries, but you do seem to care about killing people.

I usually hold (there's bene an example) that taking a suboptimal choice is fine - but taking one that makes you have no use in or out of combat is not. Ever. [br][br]So, a 20 FIghter is fine. A clerical archer that never uses magic and takes skills like "Ride" is not. \[br][br]edit: Oh, a...

Well, I could have done that. And you have a point, that would have been a good idea. Generally, though, that's why I tell them "You can hire a NPC torturer" (who will be far less helpful than say, you used a Diplomacy check, or Dire Charm, but hey, that's your call..)[br][br]As for slaver...

Recently, I attempted to start a game up. It's still in the gathering stages, as forum games that are d20 tend to get low interest in this board.[br][br]One person, an old DM told me, in effect, he didn't join because I do not allow the following in my games (because I took too many choices away fro...

... That's a strawman. PO is possibly permament. Gaseous Form clearly isn't -and frankly, if you're in it, you're probably in it for a defensive measure.

Espically as you can rewrite the flavor of the class, if you talk it over wiht your DM.

The fact that PO is in effect, a Class Emulator, means that it's other applicaiton is broken too.[br]As for NIN -[br][br]STatement 1 works out this way. If you want to be transformed, your DM should jsut let you be that originally - seriously, you don't need PO to be a spell for that - you can just ...

That's why every scientist believes in "UFOs" and "Life outside of the Earth" - because to not believe in things which have insufficient data or that are highly improbable to be false is foolish. That's Every Scientist - and of course, they similarly don't believe we've been vis...

And yes, it's descriptive in that it describes things that can be predicted to occur with accuracy. In short, PK and other theories are psuedoscience because they cannot be predicted and are clearly not anything extra.[br][br]Martin Gardner and James Randi state this rather clearly in ("Fads an...

Yeah, the REpublican Party has become radicalized, and it's sad. The current Republican party no longer even reflects the Republican ideal... it's just... I don't know what to say about it.[br][br]In related news, they managed to suspend habeas corpus for "enemy combatants". Hopefully the ...

Because to developers, it's sometimes easier to do that, or just to make it more complex so people download it.

Personally, I prefer Campaign-Blog

I just saw this - I listening to primarily Japanese pop and anime songs . When I'm brave enough for the radio, classic rock and 80's and 90's pop music. ANd Weird Al. Lots of Weird Al.

SOul of the Badger Lord. (and WM is Soul of the Warrior Mouse. There's a pattern to it.)[br][br]I should probably post those since both of htose.. well, Badger Lord is meant to be a fighter with Leadership, and the Warrior Mouse is Matthias. =p [br][br][br]EDIT: Actually, the concept was that it's a...

The idea was actually based of core monk.. now as the game set I use is heavily based off Races of War, I should probably alter it.

*twitches* Ironically, I hate that class. :/ Well, I'm thinking about dropping the speed to 40', since most increases are in 10', not 15'
