    Should the DM "kill" a character?

    Unless this is stated as a rule somewhere pertaining to monsters in general, I'd like to submit that you are talking out of your ass. This is a dismissal of several people's opinions (ie, that it is not unrealistic), and since I don't know of any real life monster authorities to clear it with...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer Vampire Template

    I might also add something about their alignment automatically switching to (blank) Evil. Some vampires were chaotic, but most definitely not all of them.

    How to Raise an Army of the Dead?

    Glad I read this thread all the way through before posting. I was gonna use this from the moment I read the subject. You...line stealing bastard. From someone who was going to steal it from a movie.

    Why are things immune to crits?

    To answer the question of 'why can't they be criticalled', I'm not sure it's something you can answer in terms of real world logic or rules. My best answer is, 'it's too complicated'. Plus, it doesn't fit in with the concept of hit points. Sneak attack doesn't entirely either, but it does scale...

    RPG/D&D terms and phrases that are no longer clever or amusing.

    Pally for Paladin. It's just gotta go.

    The Matrix: Only Human

    Within, mostly. PRograms like the Merovingian and Persephone, possibly Seraph. The Trainman, the Keymaker, I think they were all programs that had overstayed, basically, and decided not to be deleted.

    The Matrix: Only Human

    The way it works, I believe, is to equal 1/10th the cost of your level is 1 point. So while in terms of numbers, the points cost more at later levels, in terms of portions or fractions, it costs the exact same amount. Talien, again, great work on this. I don't remember where the reference to...

    The Matrix: Only Human

    Finished reading the whole thing this morning, and I gotta say I love it. I hope to use it soon in a campaign of my own. Thank you for making this, I have desperately been searching for Matrix D20 rules. Are you planning on updating and expanding it? If so, taking any requests? There's lots of...

    Can you Cleave after a Cup De' Grassey?

    What the Smurf is saying, is that just cause you assume Cleave means the power of your swing continues the same swing onwards to hit the next guy, don't necessarily make it so.

    The Matrix: Only Human

    Thank you for making this! I've read a lot of it, and like it so far. I had a question, since I /do/ plan on running a Matrix campaign. The Agents have 5 levels in strong and fast hero classes. I noticed three Strong hero talents, but no fast hero talents. Is it meant to be that way?

    What do you know about D20 Matrix?

    I myself have been looking for a set of Matrix D20 rules, and came across some incomplete ones on Kazaa. Google found me this one, which looks like a complete ruleset. The only problem? It ain't English. http://www.rederpg.com.br/site/modules.php?name=News&new_topic=46 If anyone finds...

    Suitable Replacement Mount for A Wemic Paladin

    I think I've found your problem... Sorry. To try and give a serious answer, it's a tough question, since the value of a mount is debatable and situation specific. Maybe something like the Druid's new animal companion, and you can just tack on the summon for 1 hour/level that the paladin's mount...

    Evil PC's

    Being evil does not make someone a savage beast that will turn on you one day, nor does it mean they are unpleasant, unfriendly, rude, violent or even untrustworthy. An evil character could act like anything or anyone. It's just their personal values that are different. While sadism is a trait...

    Rifle butts and pistol whips

    I don't know if that's how it's meant, but that's how we played it.

    Duelist Prestige Class...

    If there's no spell to change a magical longsword into a magical rapier, then there should be. I also wouldn't want to base taking a prestige class on a weapon I had. Too easily lost, and, it's just a weapon.
