    Powergaming, who is on board?

    Considering that I boot metamagic feats in general (really, are they needed- no) and many of the things that folks would do to slant their character (it is truly an ask and recieve setting in my house for options). The issue maybe should have been Rollplayer vs Roleplayer What are we doing to...

    Powergaming, who is on board?

    Ok, quick example. Young male, age 24 comes into the game to play a cleric of an old aristrocratic family that has been compelled to 'spread the word of his faith. Thin story for start up, but we needed a cleric in the party so i said fine( as they fit the other logistic criterion). Three...

    Powergaming, who is on board?

    Whoa! Wait a minute. Just because one wanker is a bit of a classist (although that wanker maybe described as me) doesn't invalidate the viewpoints given. Yes, it DOES take a bit more gumption, for lack of a better term to own a reliable car in a non-public trans friendly area (hence the social...

    Powergaming, who is on board?

    Wow, I never thought the driving aspect of Playing w/ The Public would be such a factor. It is just logistics in the town I live in (the buses and such are slow and unreliable, it is just a factor that has made timing harder). When I was in Chicago, heck, I didn't drive either, but then again...

    Do you think the ___ Orb line of spells are too powerful?

    At the levels that they are given, too powerful given the diversity of which they are able to be 'used'. Personally, I find it silly to have a new spell having to be published to allow folks to mix it up a bit with their energy descriptors (I find this with the rays, orbs and other bits like...

    Hey folks, Checking in. For those that say I am not responding by responding with full opinion, Ha Ha, made you think and share! I value the dissent the most since it is a view that is counter to mine (therefore new-ish). and now the responses, Danzig138, no I wouldn't let you in. As my group...

    In Class or not because....?

    Hey folks, Just when you couldn't get enough I got an issue for ya to expand upon. The list of in class skills seem ok for some, but not all occasions. how do you deal with it/ how have you dealt with it in the past during and after initial build of PC? 'Nuff said, The Public

    Powergaming, who is on board?

    :eek: ... I don't think you would believe the amount of times I've been sized up for concrete shoes as a youth... darn things just won't stay on my feet!!! I incite passion when I can because it is one of the few times people will respond honestly. It is so refreshing to find honest. unfettered...

    Powergaming, who is on board?

    WOOO HOOOOO!!!!!! I haven't seen this much real passion in a post since I came (mind you that isn't long at all) Hurt feelings?!?!? No hurt feelings here, just passion and joy for the responses I see (and yes I am reading it all) but for Clarity (of the initial post) the We I am talking...

    Powergaming, who is on board?

    ... which this is.... um. well forget that. I make sweeping statements to intially see what float to the surface- usually more sweeping statements (entertaining, no?) the issue is further expanded upon. That is what I am really looking for- so thanks!

    Powergaming, who is on board?

    Well put on all cases (hence the fact I started the post). the issue is when the numbers outshine the concept. and I will use the example I have in my groups. The interview is simple since I always start a group at level1 Work: do you have income? income is important as I require to be bought...

    Powergaming, who is on board?

    Thanks for the Reply Nail. Yes, I have seen a well tuned PC played well (having done this for a long long time) but I have also seen folks focused on the bonuses too much and not their character too. The best stories, in retrospect, have been when the party just barely got away- or had a low...

    I don't get firing into melee

    The -4 in our game has been replaced by the rule "If you miss, but are within 6 of hitting the target, you are hitting the PC that is currently engaging the target" which has worked well. If you know that you buddy can take the lovin' and don't care what they think if they take that sneak...
