Deacon. He's a young human warlock, and a snarky douche with the feel of nobility about him. Yeah...I think Ryan Reynolds would be able to capture his special version of suave, dry humor.

I was recently recommended Shadowrun by a friend. I'm looking into it right now, but I'm wondering (before I make a decision), which edition should I use? In all likelihood, it will be third or fourth. However, I would like the input of the EN world community. What are the differences and which...

I'm starting a new campaign soon, and one of my players has enough money to afford "dust of disappearance," which I'm cool with. A handful of dust in the air gives greater invisibility for 2d6 rounds in a 10-foot area. Good, but not exceptional. My only issue is that it doesn't specify just...

I think you took my post out of context. The term "good" is variable to what everyone rolls. If you have a group where most roll somewhere around elite stats, then you've got one person who rolls "18, 18, 17, 16, 16, 16", I would have that person re-roll one of their 18's, their 17, and one of...

I'm currently running a low-to-mid-level campaign, but I want it to be long-running (to the point where a normal campaign would go into the high teens). I have some very fun ideas, but high-level play really takes away from the sort of "you against the world" epic fantasy feel that I love about...

I'm currently DMing a campaign with a new group using pathfinder. I know the system forwards and backwards, so I'm not really worried about that. I'm wondering about the story/themes I'm using. The idea I came up with for this particular campaign is a merger of fantasy and sci-fi. The game is...

There are many ways to handle mounted combat. Personally, as a DM, I usually just treat the mounted party as having height advantage (+1 AC) over all enemy melee combatants that don't have the height advantage themselves (through a mount or another reason). The only issue I see in this is the...

I've tried point-buy before, to balance out our games. However, it often ends up that each character feels rather same-y since their stats are either near-even across the board or they have an 18, and 8, and none of the other stats really matter. I prefer the 4d6, reroll 1's, drop lowest...

Thank you all so much. I didn't realize I'd get so much feedback, and I am quite appreciative. Hopefully it helps

I'm running a campaign right now in which I have just recently designed a city that the characters are using as a base of operations. I've thoroughly developed the city, coming up with almost a hundred interactive NPC's as well as businesses, inns, guilds, and a full-on government. This was in...

I'm wondering how you determine class skills for monsters. I ask this because the Bestiary seems to contradict itself. On Page 292, under "Appendix 1: Monster Creation": "Using Table 1-4, determine how many skill ranks your creature has based on its type and Hit Dice. Assign these ranks as...

Thank you. I am a little biased against anime, however my issue with this isn't about that bias. You didn't really answer my question. I've got all the basics down. I just want advice on what to replace the "Summon Monster" spell-like abilities that the summoner gets with.

A Merger I think merging the two would be most appropriate. I enjoyed the idea of stances more than the "abilities" gained through the first. However, I liked the idea of Novice--Grandmaster training, since with the stances it seems that the fighter can gain every stance by 20th level (I didn't...

I'm running a multi-versal campaign (think of it as being, in essence, similar to Kingdom Hearts without all the flowery "darkness" and "heart" bits). In this campaign, I have a large technological range, going from dark-age weaponry up to semi-futuristic firearms and robotics. One of my friends...

I'm a DM that is currently running a 3.5/homebrew campaign with four players. I've got a player who is heavily religious(christian). Let's call him Jake. This usually isn't a problem, as he normally keeps his values away from the table and, in fact, uses D&D to express thoughts and actions he...
