Rewarding You might also consider rewarding EXP based upon the goal as opposed to per encounter. Just like any criminal enterprise, they learn little upon success because it goes as planned. If they fail however; they tend to look at the failure as something to overcome. If they insist upon...

Late to the game Sorry I am so late to the game. I would also like to pitch in between 10 and 20 if I still can. Let me know who what and where? As for some more ideas, I think all above are good. Maybe Personalized light sabers :). Or more realistically, if anyone knows some people into...

I think that system is a good one Clarabell, but maybe it would work with making them age prematurely as well. Then you could just say every time they go over 5 they add a year to their age. Then at certain waypoints they would learn they were overusing by using the aging affects on...

What I do I have changed several things in the past and probably will do more in the future. I created a critical table with d100 on a normal human body to represent which part was hit by a critical, and then would make something specific happen to hamper characters/NPC/monsters when they were...

I know the feeling. Here in Idaho, I am in a similar boat, and I only tell my family and close friends. I may be getting more public here in the next year though as I will be joining and/or starting a game group that will require more active involvement. I also know that there are several...

Introduction I once had a group of players in the intro to a game throw me off a bit. Three of the characters decided to go to the shops in town and see what they could find, but one troublemaker decided to go find a local pub and start a good old fashioned brawl. It was a 3.5E game, and he...

Oases and deserts I was thinking something similar as far as making several different clusters of oases and maybe setting three or four of them up as competing governments, maybe a couple republics, and probably a couple of good sultanates. I'd like to keep those and five or six communal ones...

I suppose on a grand scale deserts are easier to navigate for characters and they provide solid ground for combat. I do think that adding in some of the environmental affects that occur, such as extreme heat during the day and freezing temperatures during the night. I do like the idea of maybe...

Response Not to completely disregard all of the posts following the original, but I feel like I should answer the OP first and then move on to other concerns. Have you or are you willing to (AYWT) make a distinction between the positive portrayal of women in games/ gaming and sexist...

I started with AD&D, and then my next set of books I bought was 3.5. I didn't switch because it was new, I switched because 3.5 honestly made so much more sense to me, and seemed very clear and concise. I am a tinkerer and creator as well as some of the other posters who have said the same, and...

In an effort to make games more interesting I have found that new and exciting arenas for players to explore always add some level of novelty of the campaign. In moving about the past few years I have started and abandoned several campaigns with locals and old friends that ranged from frozen...

How should I deal with a character that blinded himself by casting light on the bridge of his nose? I feel like making him die a horrible death that he could have avoided if he had sight, because that move was so stupid. I also am thinking about being nice and letting him take a feat to get...

There is a difference between sacrifice and suicide. KP

I might try that. That is sort of how I had to save them last time, but it gets old. I might just have a friendly spellcaster heal them while they're in battle, then split the group. I just don't know yet. Snuffles, you should just kick the guy in the face:) Oregonians can do it, why can't...

Thanks for the help. And ummmmm...... KP

That response did not dignify an answer

I'd like to refer you to my thread if it is still there in house rules on A New Type Of Magic. It really explains my theory. KP

I agree with you. A DM has no right to kill you just because you're a paladin. Once you lose your Paladinhood decide to go on a killing streak and kill everyone you lay eyes on and say to your DM, "now I'm acting like a fallen paladin" KP

I would just like to point out that normally Sorcerers and Wizards are at odds, so I don't think that a Wizards guild would even allow a sorcerer. Just a thought. KP

Agreement from me goes ways. I firmly believe some people should be allowed to get very specific while some should be very good all around. I don't know though. It is good to be able to hit with anything, but if some idiot or genius decides to pick a very specific weapon, they should take an...
