I have mentioned this in passing in a couple of threads, but I thought it deserved its own thread: Some people in our group are more into RPGs than others. Some are happy to play once a week (or even twice every four weeks), but there are three of us who are a bit more hardcore. Therefore, we...

Hi all, First up, a bit of history. About a decade ago, I was running the Age of Worms adventure path using Pathfinder. We were approaching the final chapter, which involves adavamcing to 21st level before the final boss fight. By that point, the official ELH was two "editions" out of date (3.0...

Mods, I am putting this in Older Editions because, while I am not completely discounting 5e lore I tend to prioritise 2e through 4e. But if you feel it would be better in the main Dungeon & Dragons forum with a General tag, feel free to move it. D&D and adjacent games have had a fair few planar...

Apparently, @darjr will post in the D&D Beyond thread in the early hours of tomorrow morning. Presumably just a glitch in how it communicates timezones or something, but I thought I should mention it because 1) it might mean something to you guys that need checking out, and 2) even if not it...

An offhand remark in the PF2 Gunslinger/Inventor thread inspired me to start posting my PF1 hombrew, starting with a backporting of the apex items from PF2 to PF1. Quoting myself from the other thread: Any comments/queries/etc, please let me have them. EDIT: Revised version in post #6.

As I have said in several threads already, I am strongly of the opinion that the classes in A5e should not have the same names as (or a one to one mapping with) the classes in the PHB. Everyone else seems to be assuming that it will be reruns of all the PHB classes (plus warlord). There are...

What the title says. I know there are a number of feats to allow different weapons to be used in a flurry, do any of the include daggers? Thanks. glass.

What the title says! I am fascinated by idea of tick based initiative systems, but I have never actually played with one so I have no idea how they work out in practice. Exalted is obviously the most famous example, how does that work? I see lots of discussion about the problems with perfect...

I've seen a few mentions recently of a feat called Stand Still, which stops people moving if you hit them with an AoO? That would suite on of my players down to the ground. Can anyone tell me where it is from, and what the prerequisites are? Thanks. glass.

As mentioned in another thread, I'm getting going with Pathfinder soon, and mostly it makes a lot of sense. I really like the new Beast Shape spells, etc, except for one small thing: Lets say you turn into a wolf. You obviously can't use human weapons anymore, since you don't have any hands...

After a long hiatus, my group is soon to be getting back into our Age of Worms campaign, and we have decided to convert to Pathfinder RPG. I know about (and mostly like) the following changes: Changes to racial abilities (proficiencies, humans get +2 to one stat) Extra class abilities so...

1) How many characters is it designed for? (I'm guessing 5) 2) How many pre-gens does it actually include? Thanks in advance. glass.

We know (right?) that WotC are publishing one setting a year, starting with FR in 2008 and generally assumed to be followed by Eberron in 2009. I am curious though about what is going to happen after that in 2010, 11, 12; will all 5 settings out by then be fully supported? Seems unlikely, given...

...for those of you that played 2e, obviously. Dunno why, but something made me dig out my 2e PHB and leaf through it, which in turn made me remember just how many houserules I had back in the day. glass.

Hi all, I know that there is a feat in DCv1 (pole fighter?) that allows some polearms to be added to a monks list of special weapons. Can anyone tell me which polarms? And does the feat do anything else? What are the prerequisites? Also, is there any feat in there (or anywhere else) that...

A player in my Age of Worms campaign has asked about the rites in Races of the Dragon for his new character. I do not have Races of the Dragon (although I am borrowing it from another player next week), so I am not familiar with them. The rite the character is interested in (initially) allows...

Hi all, Have you ever been reading a game book when something in it made you stop and laugh out load? Is there something that makes you chuckle every time you read it? My example is this: The Realms of Sorcerery for WFRP (1st edition) has a chapter on alchemists which describes (amongst other...

One of my players is asking about Vow of Poverty. The character is a gestalt druid:barbarian, who has to this point role-played a lack of interest in pointless shiny metal et al, so it would be in character for him from that point of view, but the whole exalted thing that comes with it doesn't...

I was watching Smallville the other day, and I was remineded that I really don't understand American football. Being English, I used to take a certain perverse pride in this when I was younger. But being proud of not understanding is pretty stupid, and because it makes some US films and TV eps...

Hi there! Last night I watched a film called 'Under Suspician' (it was a free DVD; I think my uncle got it with the paper or something), and I was wondering if anyone else has seen it. More specifically, if anyone figured out what was going on, and if so, could the eplain it to me? Why the...
