    DM Advice: handling 'he can't talk to me like that' ~cuts NPC throat~ players.

    Whereas I don't get off facilitating my friends acting like violent sociopaths. (My response would pretty much be: "Go play an on-line game.") If I'm trying to run a heroic, or at very least, 'good leaning' game and you start acting like this at my table, I'm very likely to be less than happy...

    Gnolls, gnolls, glorious gnolls

    And here I always pictured them marching along, singing; Gnoll-eeee-oh! Gnoll-oh! Gnoll-eeee-oh! Gnoll-oh! :p

    A German in America

    Having once serviced ATM's, I feel I can address this. ATMs are convenient places to get small to medium amounts of cash. Some banks have and/or still have limits of perhaps $250 per day that can be withdrawn through ATMs, which serves mostly to protect the customer from theft and fraud. The...

    Cleave: Give me room to work, my minions!

    I like 3e Cleave, and it makes sense to me. The sword/axe/giant sporc rips across the creature's chest/thorax/hufflemugger, knocking it backwards even as it kills it, or just plain chops off a limb, and the weapon continues in an arc to hit the next opponent. The new one, not so much. But...

    Cleave: Give me room to work, my minions!

    Maybe you're just not doing the model airplane thing right. Done a certain way, it can cause a veritable rat holocaust. :confused: On a more serious note, Yee Gawds people, am I ever glad I do not play with people who think of things like a bag of rats and treat it as a serious proposition...

    Dead Again

    QFT. He made some bad choices, not retreating when he should, not healing when he should, trying to be overly heroic when doing so is pretty much certain death. He needs to learn from his mistakes and be more cautious.

    instead of Bard spells, Ritual songs?

    You mean you think it should take more than six seconds (tops) for my Bard to instill a +3 to hit / +3 damage morale bonus in all my companions? :D And here I thought he was just really effective at yelling "Get them!" Or as I said when my character fascinated an NPC and hit him with a...

    DM Advice: handling 'he can't talk to me like that' ~cuts NPC throat~ players.

    Dude, this is so over-the-top as to be cringeworthy. There are many shades of grey between those two positions and you discredit yourself with your insistence on illogical polarities. Personally, I not only do not want "kill anyone who looks at me funny" players at the table in any game I play...

    Higher Level PC Examples?

    I am sincerely underwhelmed. A 3.5 Wizard has a fair number of spells available and can do a fair amount of different things at different times simply by changing around their memorized spells. They can do fire or cold, they can do ability drains, they can sleep or charm. All in the same...

    Higher Level PC Examples?

    I find that a little disturbing and a bit bothersome. Is there anyone with the right job or connections who CAN post a couple of characters, say a 5th level Cleric and a 5th level Wizard, just as examples?

    When you want to strangle a player

    Elfwitch; Sometimes you can do everything right, you can go above and beyond the call of duty and put yourself out more than you have any right to do....and still lose the battle. The man is looking for excuses to quit, to complain, to be unhappy. Anything and everything you do makes no net...

    Higher Level PC Examples?

    OK, I admit something of thread fatigue, and the extreme lack of desire to wade through large numbers of threads containing little useful information to find what I'm looking for. Yes, I admit it, I'm being LAZY. What I'm interested in are examples/samples/whatever of higher level (say, 5th...

    When you want to strangle a player

    Good Lord. I play a Bard and I'd have no problems at all if the Cleric (or anyone else) occasionally outshined my simply amazing PC social skills. Heck, I've been in games where the entire thing hinged on the fact that the guy with no ranks in a skill rolled a natural 20 and was the only one...

    Warlord Player's job is to tell other players what to do??

    Haven't we all seen enough of this on ENWorld? I used to play with a guy who was downright painful in his oddball interpretations of things that were patently obvious to other people. Then rather than accept the 5-1 (everyone says A, he says B) judgement of the group, he'd post his question in...

    Will we get a classic Chimera? (ie. no dragon head)

    When will you get me what?

    I love my friends but I want to kill one of them, Help me.

    Leaving them alone and walking away is not an attitude of personal responsibility. It's external blame. At no point are you recognizing your problem with being Flirty McFlirtenstein and how destructive that is of your relationships.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Will you still play 3.5?

    I for one will happily play 3.5 games if they are available in my area.

    Wizard Spells 10-16 Two Page Spread

    Chimera's PC to Wizard PC: Idiot! You just spent 90 gold to open a freaking door when this guy could have done it for free. Save the wand for harder things. Not shenanigans when you contemplate the costs. I know that at higher levels people tend to look at it like 1gp=$1, but even then, why...
