Seeking RPG players Our group has been running for 5+ years, mostly Pathfinder but some 4e and Savage Worlds. Usually we have three couples. One of the couples is leaving town so we need to replace them. We're looking for two players, older, more mature. We're into laughs and good times...

Come on! It's gotta be Castle! Who wouldn't want to play a character who "spends his free time finding and murdering followers of Vecna". That just screams "Awesome RP opportunities!"

I agree with Mentat's idea of reskinning the powers. I think people forget how easy it is to keep the basic intentionality and mechanical properties of a power but change the flavor of them. Why does it have to be that a magical point of light guides the warrior's hand to the critical spot in...

Thanks all! I thought this was the case but had a player disagree with me. Good to know. :) I appreciate the feedback and the speed!

Hey all, Do all damaging parts of a power get bonuses? For example: Chaos Bolt for Sorcerer: 1d10+cha for primary target. If even number, blah blah, 1d6 on secondary targets if hit. Do you get the +cha on the 1d6 for secondary hits? There are several powers like this, I just chose this one...

Have the NPC bluff against the group's highest passive insight, as suggested above. PCs are welcome to make active checks as well, but only when they ask to do so. Our group limits how many PCs can do active checks of that nature in order to save time. Most of the time, only the PC or PCs who...

Thanks very much, folks!

Hey all, need help in a hurry. I've got a game starting soon. I just saw Giantkind Gloves. Am I reading this right that as an at-will Power, I can pick up any object under 30 lbs (including say a hammer) and chuck it at my enemies with a strength+2+die roll attack and deal 2d6+strength damage...

JD, I had a question if you don't mind. I've read your other SH threads and really enjoyed them. I noticed in this one you've changed your style quite a bit. You seem to be going for more a straight-account-of-events style rather than an unfolding-story-with-dialogue-quotes style that you had...

I contacted Angels Soldiers but was left with little confidence when the response email I got indicated that they had barely (and inaccurately) read my initial query. That said, I still hold them as an option. Taking the advice from this thread, I've put out a query to the USO. Great thought...

Thanks Rechan!

Hey guys, I have a TON of 3.5 books I need to get rid of. I'd heard that there are ways to donate these to military personnel who are always in need of gaming as it's a growing hobby in those circles. Unfortunately, everything I've been able to find with a quick search is all from 2005 or so...

Most caster powers (meaning those using implements and not traditional weapons) don't target AC. They target Ref, Fort, etc. which are almost never as high as AC. Traditional weapons DO target AC, so characters using them need a bit of a boost to make up the difference. That said, as a player...

As Carpe (hey man :)) pointed out, Divine Challenge differs from the fighter's mark. It does NOT give the Paladin an OA on the challenged monster. That said, I still think this is remarkably effective. I'm playing a striker now (lock) and am so incredibly mobile that it's pretty easy to get...
