    Unaligned Clerics

    I think that not allowing Good clerics to follow Lawful Good deities is silly if Unaligned are acceptable. Unless one takes being Good but not Lawful Good an active rejection of Law, which doesn't seem to be the intent as written.

    Unaligned Clerics

    There are a couple of ways to handle this. One is result-based powers; the Cleric adheres to behavior that pleases Bahamut even though he doesn't do it out heartfelt goodness, and so Olde Platinum Dragon grants him powers. Problem: Well, why couldn't an Evil person do the same? Another is...

    Should a weapon be statted based on "realism" or "balance"?

    Personally, I'd find that nifty. Could you enlighten us?

    CHARISMA: Is it a dud score?

    It occurs to me that one way to make Charisma a lot less of a dump stat is to have plenty of Charisma damaging/draining attacks about. While players can deal with their characters being killed or immobile with a mere "Crap. Make sure he gets rez'd, guys", they deal with the impetus-lacking...

    What weapons, classes, races...

    3.5 game of 'Spelljammer' (heavily edited) that I'm running: Gestalt classes: Dwarf Fighter/Ranger. Dual wields great axes, and is a goth. (The character, not the player, thank goodness.) Human Fighter/Rogue. Wields a Thinblade, and is styled after a fencer. Human Fighter/Rogue/Lasher. Wields...

    DMG II + PHB II + MM II-IV = 4th Edition?

    It occurs to me that the PHB II and the DMG II greatly resemble the Players Option and DM Option books that came out near the end of second edition. I must admit that I am a bit apprehensive about the PHB II, due to the fact that the name may imply that the content is 'standard', which could...

    Dragon Lords of Melnibone experiences anyone?

    Chaosium largely regarded it's d20 lines as big ads for the BRP stuff. A bit of a pity, given the subject matter. For a game set in Elric's world, I'd definitely give a look towards the magic system in Conan d20. It's largely demon centered for the more powerful effects, and the other stuff...

    Colt Python in one hand and a Long Sword in the other... What are the penalties?

    I'd go with no penelty for either. One in each hand leaves you with no free manipulators unless you have a tail or brain tentacle or the like, and makes both your weapons painfully obvious.

    Are submissions for classes and templates still being accepted?

    Wealth bonus and "treasure"

    Finding a gem worth 500$ doesn't give you a +3 wealth bonus for just selling the thing...it gives you a +3 wealth bonus for an assumed selling the thing and investing the profits, or taking out insurance on it and then using it to build up credit, or... That sort of thing. Which I why I...

    Dungeon vs. Polyhedron - Death Match

    Personally, I'm happy with both. I enjoy reading MOST of the minigames, and I mine the moduless for ideas. Hijinx, though... Guh.

    [Poll] Who DOESN'T use minis?

    My group isn't usually interested in them at all, so for the most part I've never used them or seen the need. I don't see 3.5 changing my opinion on that.

    Ruger Mini-14 stats?

    "Durnit! Sarah, I told you to stop givin' them groundhogs them Kevlar vests!"

    [Polyhedron] Are women interested in this type of fantasy?

    Hmm. I haven't yet played the minigame in question (though I have read over it), but from experience, I have seen female PCs (both players and characters) involved in those kinds of romantic situations. The most recent (and the one which I think is most closely relatable to this topic) is an...

    Dungeon #99 - Is the end near?

    While I'm not sure about the cost of Dungeon versus other types of adventures, I must admit that #99 is the least useful I have recieved. The high level adventure made some good reading but was otherwise useless, and I'm growing quite fond of the 'Downer' comic, but the minigame... Urghl...
