    I have a problem with a player!

    You can give the XP out secretly like has been suggested I had a DM who did this but we all told each other what we had gotten. The best thing to do is talk to him find out what was bothering him. Maybe after a few days have passed he will cool down some. You should let go of your hurt if you...

    Are you a Roll-Player or a Role-player?

    I too like a mix. The rules give a canvas which you then paint your character. Role play is very important to me. I want things to make sense I want to feel as if my PC is a real person not just a bunch of stats on paper. As much as I like role play I like combat too. As long as the action...

    How do you decide quorum?

    We have six players on our group and though we don't really like it we will play minus one player. The DM runs the character and we have a rule that you don't kill the character. And unless your wife is having a baby you usually don't get XP. Now that changed a little with our current DM he was...

    baleful polymorph used on undead

    The druid in our wants to know if baleful polymorph can be used on undead. The spell save is a fort and most undead don't have forts so she is wondering if that means the spell automatically works?

    Cry Foul or Fair?

    No it is not. We have something going on in our game like this. We get XPs for journals 50 for each level you are. I have not missed a game and have always written journals. Our DM does not want people to fall behind so they XP when they don't show they change characters or die they don't lose...

    Permanant Character Death

    I do understand. I was mainly responding to some of the other posts. There have been some good ideas I like the idea of them being brought back by a powerful cleric whoses God has plans for them and theyn have no choice about fulfilling the plans because of geas.

    Permanant Character Death

    Dying in the game should have consquences. And there are things that kill making it almost impossiable to be brought back without high level magic. I also think playing stupidly just becasue you can be brought back is bad. We have had raise dead in our game and we still play carefully and try...

    Permanant Character Death

    There have been some good suggestions here. I agree find a way to raise them. The game rules allow for this so why is it such a big deal? It seems to be a trend lately that DMs want a more gritty feel so they make death permanet. As a player I won't play in a DnD game that the DM insists on...

    Is this an evil act, or not?

    [ Some people have mentioned that there were townsfolk with the plague, and that the PCs should have expected to be able to cure it. Thus, they could have tended to the kobolds as they sought the cure to the plague. I'd say this is a blatant example of metagaming. The PCs would have no idea...

    Is this an evil act, or not?

    When our group played this a couple of years ago it caused quite a conflict. The Kobolds were not sick, our rogue rescued them after all the adults save one were killed. We took them back to the villege the townfolk basically ripped the adult kobold to shreds. They wanted to do the same to the...

    'Balancing' rolled characters

    Yeah to show that if you are going to adventure with a minor god you are not going to have a lot to do.:) I have only used the point buy in two games the rest have been rolled PCs and I have never seen a big issue with balance. I think a lot of the problem maybe with poor DMs and poor players...

    'Balancing' rolled characters

    Using LOTR is not a good analogy to compare same level characters with different stats. Come on Gandulf is epic level while Strider and the Legolas are at least in the teens. The Hobbits are low level. So even if they had great stats they could not compete with the higher level characters.

    'Balancing' rolled characters

    We mainly roll 4D6 drop the lowest seven times dropping the lowest set. On the whole it has worked out. But I have seen where it can be annoying for the players who did not roll as good as some of the others. Sometimes it is the little things like when the wizard has less ranks in religion then...

    [OT] Going to University as Mature Student

    I too am going back school. I will be 46 this December and I am a little spooked the last time I was in school Ronald Regan was president. But this as always been a dream of mine. I had to wait until my son was old enough to be on his own. I have been busy being a single mother since I was 20...

    Hero points

    Re: Re: Re: Hero points I think you are getting bogged down with the word hero. I have asked our group tp start using some form of hero points. They can be a reward for good role playing even if that role playing is to betray the party or kill the cleric. As long as it was done well. I think...

    Paladin's Mount Summoning

    I see some advantages and disadvantages to the new rule. It is great to send the mount some where safe if you are in a place not to use it. But at lower levels it can be a problem. I have played in many a game where our sleep was interrupted and we had to get out of somewhere fast. Which is a...
