    Do the initiative rules discourage parley?

    Well, regarding the hobo thing... Who says the hobo has to get up to attack? What if he lashes out with his foot, catching the PC, knockin him unconcious with one concise, lucky blow? What if he wasn't asleep? What if his "initiative" is simply some instinctual reaction to what he perceives...

    Munskins/Power gaming - Two weapon fighting feat with two bastard sword

    Hey now :P I thought the goliath's were one of the few new races that have come out lately that really, well, "felt" good. Very well flushed out. Awesome culture. A naming convention that makes sense. Just, dang. I really enjoyed the "Races of Stone" book. Sure, a goliath can do a little...

    The reason for the cleric class' lack of popularity?

    In experiences from my playgroup, most of the guys don't want to play clerics because they feel as if they're bound to ask their god/gods/etc. before they do anything. The way I see clerics is as the wandering warriors of their god - PC clerics usually aren't the guys sitting in church...
