I like it because it scales with level and, even without combat, you can still expect a decent rate of levelling, especially since in the games I ran the players would complete a few minor quests on the way to completing the major quest so they'd level at a decent rate.

What I ended up doing was 5% and 10% of the xp needed to reach the next level, I called them story rewards and awarded the 5% reward for minor stories/side quests completed and 10% for major ones.

The restrictions have become a little crazy. I asked DALLE4 for pictures of a tank which it easily did then, because I wanted it for a transformers RPG, I asked for it to also do the robot standing behind the tank, with elements of the tank in its form and it came back as restricted content.

If you want a thief character from the Conan that's similar to the classic DnD class, look no further than Taurus of Nemedia, Prince of Thieves. He wasn't a major character, rather he just helped the story along. He even had the bad saves of an ADnD thief, dying from a little spider bite, shame.

When it comes to movie batmans, Michael Keaton is best batman.

Oh right, that guy. I know the voice but I pretty much never bother to learn the names of voice actors, or if I did, it was so long ago. I still think of BTAS as the best batman series that's ever been.

I don't know who Kevin Conroy is (did he make Batman?) but I think I'd enjoy watching this. Not all Batman shows need to be grimdark and as @BookTenTiger said, this is a kids show, it doesn't have to appeal to adults.

He picked locks by shearing through them with a swing of his sword.

If I run pre-3e editions, thief skills will be replaced with proficiencies which means that anyone can pick them up, but the thief gets them for free. So I won't get rid of the thief, but they no longer have sole access to their various skills. 3e onward, since anyone can pick up other skills...

I think DnD was my send RPG, the first being the advanced fighting fantasy book, played a few good games of that with friends in high school before moving to the dnd rules cyclopedia.

I've finally had all of the dolmenwood books delivered, I'm trying to decide if I want to run a long campaign there or just do a run through of the 4 adventures that came with it. The setting is so detailed, it's a little overwhelming to read through everything.

I really hope this comes to fruition, these are some of my favourite movies, Brendan and Rachel back in it. Makes me wonder if they'll make a joke about her feeling her old self.

I saw an interview with Dave Grohl once who was complaining about modern music. All I could think of was "Congratulations, Dave, you're old".

I saw something that looked similar in path of exile pc game and thought "Never again!"
