    Dias Ex Machina to release NeuroSpasta - GSL Cyberpunk

    All I got from my quick research was a moth. Is that what you were going for? The whole transformation thing? http://www.ento.csiro.au/gallery/moths/Anthelaneurospasta Nevermind, I just found this:

    Dias Ex Machina to release NeuroSpasta - GSL Cyberpunk

    Can you clue us in on the derivation of the name at all? To me it sounds like something Italian zombies would eat.

    All that old school item creation stuff was awesome. It made magic items actually worth something. Nowadays they're just given out like candy. It's just an extra plus one. Most campaigns a PC can just walk down to the local magic shop and buy one. But when those rules for creation were...

    Thank you. What kind of cookies do you like? I'll have my wife bake you some. It shouldn't cost that much to ship them to the UK. :)

    This board really needs a negative xp button. Like level draining or something.

    It's been over a week since I've used the program, but I'm almost 100% positive that you can do this. I don't have the program installed on this computer right now or I'd check. I believe this option is in one of the very last "tabs" of the generator. I remember seeing it and thinking it was...

    Wil Wheaton plays and reviews 4th.

    Well, it was listed as a method in the 1e DMG. It may have been Method I, but I'm not sure. Most players don't realize this because, well, they're players, and the die rolling methods were listed in the DMG at that time if I recall.

    PHBII Classes Confirmed

    I believe you would be correct. Wasn't the original name of this class "templar"? I think this was the one that original started with a "t" before it was renamed.

    layoffs?

    Actually, would you rather have them WORK through the holidays and then lay them off? That sounds a bit more cruel doesn't it? Almost like they used them and then let them go. I'm sure they're all getting some kind of severance or being allowed to use their saved up vacation time. At least...

    [Adventurer's Vault] Problematic Items

    Yeah, but those are two different slots. And one is actually on armor. That's an apples and oranges comparison. Most of the same level armors have much greater benefit that same level arms slot items. Plus as you mentioned, one is an immediate interrupt, and one you have to turn on.

    THE MEANING OF LIFE (Forked Thread: When did I stop being WotC's target audience?)

    No, that is what is best in life. By the way I would like to thank all the fish who have taken part in this thread. I hope that other fish will follow the example of those who have participated, so that, in future, fish all over the world will live together in harmony and understanding, and put...

    Bloodcut Armor - Overpowered? Or am I playing it wrong?

    I'm guessing that they are running through KotS, based on the monster mentioned and that armour. So, they're probably second level. He probably chose to wear it just because it's magical. And it's really not too far behind just standard chain or scale. Heh, especially because they've been...

    This is not true. If you were looking to kill the PCs then death saves don't really matter at all because you could just have the monsters hack at or coup de grace downed players until they reached the autokill point. Nice try with the wrongbadfun retort though. Both fun and balance are...

    Characters of War up at Wizards

    Your second and third paragraphs are spot on. However, your first paragraph can be said about many choices made in a game system. A roleplayer may like to RP a "fighter" with a low strength but a high dex. Problems like this have been mentioned before about 4e and are usually answered with...

    In other news, I crunched the numbers last night, when running my game session, on the difference between dying after three failed saves versus four. To simplify the numbers, it effectively gives the PCs a +5 on death saves. A bit overpowered, no? Also, it also gives party members at least...

    Fine, I'll play semantics with you. By your definition it is not power creep. Great! But that does not mean that it isn't problematic to deal with or not flawed. Btw, I think many here define power creep as follows: "Power Creep refers to when the power level of ANY game begins to slowly...

    If this isn't power creep then I don't know what is.
