Were I ever to GM again, I'd just make it level based. The differences between a level 1 character and a level 20 character are so great that there are no real world analogies, save for Chuck Norris jokes, only those jokes are real. Any type of intimidate system where a level 1 barbarian with...

1. Have an OOC discussion stating your concerns, how its unbalancing the game, tell them you are replacing it with something else more suited to their level. 2. Suck it up and move on. Penalizing players or characters for your own oversight is petty. If the problem is bad enough then it...

Just some comments. It seems like a fighter-ish PrC D10 hitpoints, focused on hitting things with a cloak, and requiring 5 feats, yet it has rogue skill requirements. A human rogue can't get into this until 9, and demi-humans until 12 due to feat requirements, A fighter can't get in until 9...

I was actually replying to myself, where I had suggested wizards casting both see invisibility and permanancy on several of the watch so that a city could have someone watching both the sky and city for invisible intruders. Range personal means that the wizard can't cast it on a member of the...

Bah! See invisibility has a range of personal, your town watch would have to be composed of 10th level wizards :P thats out I guess. See invisibilty doesn't come up till the rocks start falling.

permanancy see invisibility on a few lookouts throughout the city. Maybe 5 or so total so at least one watch with it on at all times. These watch are kept out of combats, there sole job is to look for invisibility. Not just mages, It's something a city might want anyways. Once an invisible...

There are 100's if not 1000's of jobs in the armed forces. Coming up with skill sets in a d20 game for a small percentage is a monumental task as some of the post examples have indicated. While the actual act may be a fun thought excercise for simplicity sakes you might consider a simple...

Having been in a similar situation I'd say no bonuses or negatives for anyone. When two drunks stare each other down and one is talking about pissing on the other a fight is pretty much expected, no one is surprised.

I hate being challenged as a player directly. Seriously, :):):):) puzzles. I'm not good at them and they aren't fun. When they are in games I tend to just treat it like a point and click adventure game and just start trying every possible combination or just wait until someone else figures it...

First off I don't think it's a bad idea to let players try and sell it for profit, spending 1 week of in-game time to get 20 gold is so lackluster and below the capabilities of a even a 1st level character I wouldn't bother. As for my opinion? I dislike it. I like it more than the standard...

I'm with the earlier poster who said you should just ask the player. I think playing the guessing game is going to lead to bad bad things. Or at least an uncomfortable misunderstanding.

And if no evil NPCs come along? In fact I remember reading that the vampire attacked the barbarian for coming too close. Crippling someone for invading your personal space isn't what I would call good. If the next group of people that come along aren't good aligned adventurers then what? The...

Does anyone have or have links to an in game example of using skill challenges to resolve combat? I'm trying to wrap my head around this but am not seeing it working.

Pure sci-fi. Spaceships, FTL travel. Glaxy is being invaded by robotic alien-things. We've ripped out the setting and are only using the system.

When you break open any game that much they all break, why are people in this thread only doing it to Rifts? when a 1 legged half dead commoner with a club can manage to hit my demi-god fighter in dragon armor and shield 1 time out of 20 and still do damage when I'm taking a full defense action...

I'm not trying to nitpick your fun so if it comes off that way Its not intended and apologize in advance. 270 BC seems more Rise of Rome-ish than Ancient Greek-ish. The wiki link describes the romans returning a Greek town, implying that other portions of Greece are now under Roman control...

I voted once per stat block, that's when I gm things. Our current GM runs one initiative and not only is there a long period where none of the players are doing anything he focuses fire on PC usually taking them down in the first round. It feels like I'm playing Final Fantasy.

Flails don't have the offhand weapon property and can't be dual wielded. In the adventurers vault there is the scourge, a military weapon in the flail category with the offhand weapon property (in other words, yeah, a fancy flail :) ). Sounds like a perfect match. For some reason I see an...

Thanks, I did google but after seeing some refrences to hawaiin dogs, various food dishes and fire spinning I wasn't quite sure. They look like fancy clubs. So, ranger that dual wields clubs? Barbarian that dual wields clubs?

For Box also check into the dual wielding classes, a Barbarian dual wielding gauntlets, its riders are con based which works well with a infernal warlock. You can also reflavor the more supernatural actions as having a hellish or infernal flavor to it. a gauntlet will allow you to draw and use...
