    D&D 5E How much speed could a fast monk gain, if a fast monk could gain speed?

    Well, that was surprisingly simple. I nixxed the splat books in my query because 5e hasn't gone splat yet, and adding in the usual rules creep would probably really kill it

    D&D 5E How much speed could a fast monk gain, if a fast monk could gain speed?

    The real question is... Only using up to 20th level and the core books, can 2e, 3e or 4e produce a faster character?

    Explain GUMSHOE to me

    It seems like the entire core idea behind GUMSHOE is this: PCs are supposed to be awesome, so let them be as awesome as possible (while also making sure to retain enough threat for them). It allows the PCs to be very competent at research type things, much like you'd see in the movies. Action is...

    Boston Game Day - May The Fourth Be With You (PLAYER SIGN-UPS)

    The weird part is, when you invoked the @ sign there, I got an email from EN World saying that I should check out the message. Who know the dark art of summoning would involve smtp?

    Boston Game Day - May The Fourth Be With You (PLAYER SIGN-UPS)

    Can the GM cheat?

    Probably originally because of the story-based, and semi-collaborative focus of the game. I find fudging to be A-OK, personally. Most of my GM rolls are behind a screen. I'll kill PCs, when the dice say so and it won't be lame. I'll edit HP and stats on monsters on the fly - sometimes even the...

    M&M and ICONS

    So, back in the day, my group played 1st Edition Mutants and Masterminds. Character creation was ridicuously awesome, it used (ish) the familiar d20 system, and was just generally a good time. Over time, we switched to other systems and games, since we suffer from RPG ADD pretty hardcore. Fast...
