Public groaning is so much more satisfying that I stoop to troll for it...

i'll keep that in mind... sometimes you need to feed the troll to keep it from attacking.

Gary, thanks for the insight.

Welcome, and trust that you understood the opening of my response. The GM should not worry about limiting PCs' equippage of magical sort, merely manage it through "adjusted" encounters... :lol:

Cheers,
Gary

Boz the Wise...

That will likely cut the punning short, as the punster will be satisfied that his mission of twisted humor has had its desired effect.

:lol:

I vote for the "Or this" ranking with the following additions:
2nd = seasoned apprentice
3rd = skilled apprentice
4th = senior apprentice

6th = experienced journeyman
7th = journeyman of merit
8th = senior journeyman

10th = senior master
12th = grand master
13th = guild master
14th = past master

Gary

Thanks a lot, Gary. It's to know how you think about it. "Past Master" is a good category.

In the way I run my game, people don't need a trainer after they make 5th level . . . I guess that's a way of saying "journeyman" or at least you're ready to solo completely/your training is now complete.

My only hope is that you guys really, really, REALLY scour the power listings. My biggest gripe about the system … is that every game session I had to confront some vague point in the power descriptions. Every. Game. Session. And yes, it was a different spell every time. I know Gary likes his rules fast and loose, but c'mon!

Grouse, whine, snivel!

Now, look Gary, that's exactly what BluSponge is talking about. That's just too darn vague. Is that a new ability list, a command to do more, a complaint, or your verbal response? C'mon, you can do better!

No kidding!! I wish the current edition taught that instead of painstakingly measuring every gold piece of value and making sure it is in the "right range" for a given level of the party.

GAWD!!

Sorry! I'm still adjusting to regaining my DMing freedom now that I have "quit" 3E.

Few persons are ever at their maximum potential. There is always benefit to further study, prectice, and actual experience

It is an observation regarding all those persons that expect me to completely develop and detail something when it is usually a case of me purpously being vague for the benefit of the GM. After al, it is made clear by me that the GM is the final authority, no?

Of course I do sometimes leave out a bit of ctirical information in my haste... :heh:

Revel in the newly regained liberty, amigo! Play the way the game form was designed to be played

Hi Gary,

Will there be a map of your Greyhawk city in the new Saga of Old City release?

Thanks
