    Ditching [W] altogether

    Well, mankind invented all these weapons for a reason, because they had different properties. So why do you want to reduce them to flavortext?

    Communism (& Socialism) in RPGs

    So we are playing capitalist propaganda? ;)

    Oots 427

    Who cares? He is still a goblin and I don´t think goblins in the setting are arrested and get a fair trial. And "Just following orders" will not always free you of all responsibilty for your deeds.

    Creative Exercise: The Sovereign Dominion of Eyros

    The project more or less hibernates. We turned in the first drafts to Ari but he has no time to work on it IIRC.

    Creative Exercise: The Sovereign Dominion of Eyros

    Thought I got everything in the last compilation but that thread is so huge some stuff could have slipped through.

    OotS 414

    Lord Hinjo should send his paladins on a good old cliché Detect Evil - Smite tour thru the noble ranks of Azure City. The one´s who aren´t evil will probably fall in line afterwards.

    Book of Nine Swords -- okay?

    If I am not mistaken Dietrich von Bern could breathe fire. He shows in several german sagas and has his own one.

    OotS 406

    You still get punished for rash actions of anger. Murder can be one of these rash actions of anger but that doesn´t mean you won´t be punished.

    Which class is the most useless?

    Monk. Even if you are playing a game of courtly intrigue where the characters are able to run around unamred, what´s the monk supposed to do? Be a bodyguard in the case of combat that is so rarely occuring that the other players don´t prepare for it? And a monk can´t be disarmed and is still...

    The Frenzied Berserker: I'm Just Curious

    There are a few special cases that were already mentioned, like loved ones etc. but most groups in general would probably ditch a Frenzied Berserker. Most of the replies about ditching a FB as good roleplay were after Razz made his broad sweeping comments that can be summarized into: Learn to...

    The Frenzied Berserker: I'm Just Curious

    Right now one of my character´s roleplaying traits consists of killing people who annoy her too much. Better him than the rest of the group, bye, bye, see you in your next incarnation. Seriously, how is one guy intruding into my character concept enhancing roleplaying or why is someone who...

    Kill the gods, your experience

    The gods in my campaign are more or less unkillable by mortals, not even suspect to the killing all worshippers death. Other gods and similar beings could kill them though or at least incapacitate them though. All gods, plane lords and their highest servants are eternal beings, being made...

    Playing without a tank

    The randomness of the d20. Keep the other guys back unless you all have to sneak. The big range and even probability for all possible numbers will result in someone screwing up with more characters involved

    Where have all the heroes gone?

    It seems to me that the player´s enjoyment is in screwing over that party and laughing at the other players.

    Getting rid of clerics in my homebrew.

    Arcana Evolved/Unearthed was designed so that clerics aren´t needed. All spellcasters can cast healing spells with some of them having special healing abilities that don´t cut into the class spellcasting slots. The question is if you want to introduce them and how much it´s going to affect your...

    The fireball spell through the editions

    I think it is good that the expanding volume went away. Especially when you don´t make detailed plans for the area.

    Mearls redesigns the Ogre Mage

    I know, I still think it´s probably not enough if the OM stays in constant contact with non charmed people in his disguise.

    Mearls redesigns the Ogre Mage

    Charm Person is a nice spell but still limited. I wonder why it is hyped so much as the mastermind´s control spell. The above example of the OM charming a barbarian and turning against the group wouldn´t work. The charmed person will not do obviously harmful things and the OM has to win an...

    Creative Exercise--Aleasana

    The Shay weren´t criminals which were exiled for their crimes but sent to be guardians of the great tree. The Shay feared that the tree was endangered and shay scholars and priests were convinced that the fall of the Great Tree would herald the end of the world or at least the end of the shay...
