He hoarded magic items that he claimed to be useful until we got back to a large enough city to where he could sell them. That's how he got enough gold for another party member to make it, however, with the raised point of "CL on the item not being what is needed to create it" it solves the...

Now I need to start this off by saying the event of which I am explaining is both my fault and an element of the Pathfinder Corebook's fault, which is odd to blame a book, but just hang on there for a moment. So the party is 7th level, in the group is an Arcane Trickster (Rogue/Wizard) who is...

In my setting, "Human" is the scientific term, like when they discover a body they say a human body, or an elven body, or a dwarven body. To make this better and less bland, all humans have a subrace, as with all elves and dwarves and so on. The human subraces include "Easterlings, Coastlings...

The best way to view it is comparing GMs to Musicians. Every Musician has a style, they acquire this from other musicians they like, personal experimentation, and personal tastes in music. But do musicians just change music whenever they want? As much of a shock it may seem, the answer is...

I was raised on high power stats, where you roll multiple sets and pick the best set, all while re-rolling 1's and 2's on the d6. Let me tell you, this method is not good. Characters are so powerful traps are a waste of time, boss battles are pointless, and the only threat against characters...

While the contents of this first post in the thread could be in the DnD/Pathfinder section, I felt leaving it open for all types of odds and ends work. I am posting this because I am trying to figure out exactly what I have. It is a normal pencil, but where your basic pencil is yellow this one...

1. someone mentioned a 'future partner' having to see this tattoo. That makes me laugh. 2. I thought about a logo or a d20, however, my personal disdain for 4e and the current direction of the brand name has me leaning against a straight up "D&D" on my body. I'd rather have an iconic piece of...

I'm turning 20 in July, I have been playing since I was 6 years old. 14 years of gaming means it has seen me through the best of times and the worst of times, it gave me strength when I was weak and gave me direction when I was lost. Dungeons and Dragons has saved my life. A few times. And it...

What is your favorite skill system? What is it you like about skills in rpgs? Do you prefer loose skills (like a "science" skill) or detailed skills (like a "biology" skill and a "chemistry" skill)? Do you feel skills are important to modern rpgs or not?

I did steal the entire 4e line at one point in prep to play it, then said no and delete all those files. So many files. SO.MANY.FILES

Rule 0. The DM is always right. He rolled poorly and failed, exploring dungeons is deadly, and failure can get you killed. The dice represent those variables. It wasn't unfair, it was actually and easy save (crowbar to the doors, strength check to open it up, more rope, etc. etc.) Also, tell...

While certain parts of Next I hate (it still seems to 4e-ish to me, but we'll drop it there as to not start a napalm fight) I find me liking it more and more. I am thinking of taking part in the DNDNEXT Encounters. But why? Perhaps my lack of faith in WoTC would have gotten me choked out by...

Through the decade or so I've been gaming, I've been DMing, Game Mastering, Reffing and whatever other names you can think of (even been a Megaverse Ambassador if you really care to know) My question though, is after all these years, after making many dungeons and maps on a pad of graph...

Falling damage. It makes no sense normally, but with a stampede, have 10ft of falling=10ft of cows chances are the stampede is a fun little snip for a larger encounter, so stick with that, instead of putting emphasis on the cows. I'm more worried about the owl bear that scared them. Because...
