    Ah we finally learn Mialee's Sex!

    I wasn't aware that there was ever a question of her gender.

    Beyond the Pale RPG, my home-brewed no to low magic world 20 years in the making

    I scanned through the wiki quickly. There was a lot of good stuff. One thing I was wondering about was the art work. The art work you have there is really great. What's its story? Did you or a friend paint them? Did you commission them or just stumble upon them?

    Why D&D Should Be More Like WoW

    You've brought up a lot of great strengths for WoW that I agree with, but I think it's a worthless endeavor. If I wanted to play WoW, I would go play WoW. I mean just look at how DDO is fairing against WoW. It's not just because of easily defined roles and easy-gen characters. In any case, you...

    Did anyone here come into gaming *through* computers?

    When I was about 9 or 10, my brothers and I saved for maybe six months on our meager allowances to buy a Sega Genesis. We had finally come to the Toys'R'us to buy the system, and realized that we didn't have enough money to buy any games beyond the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 that came with the system...

    you're starting a new campaign: defining story arc or go with the flow?

    I think the best term for my style is the Living Sandbox. There is an over arching plot, but that may change based on the character's interactions with the world. For example, in my most recent campaign, I chose to have it take place over 10 years. I decided what events would occur when, and...

    Why do levels one and two suck so bad?

    Just out of curiosity, how does a level 1 fighter get a masterwork weapon? Aren't they outside the wealth range. I also think you're playing down the strengths of a wizard. I used to play an enchanter with a greatsword. Sleep + coup de grace = happy wizard. It's all in how you play your character.

    And his words were as honey...

    I agree; this feat would make Charisma completely useless unless you were a sorcerer or Cleric. Charisma is already a dump stat.

    The dreaded scrying / teleportation hunter-killer problem

    You could have the villians do the same thing to them as well. You could also have villians set illusions around their surroundings when they sleep. Maybe a villain sleeps on a bed surrounded by a pit of acid which is glamered to look like a solid floor...

    Beauty and the D&D Geek!

    I am friends with Britney from that season of BatG. Most of the beauties and geeks end up becoming really good friends and actually break down a lot of stereotypes and barriers. If you stayed to watch more, you'd have noticed that one guy's profession was "Shines Lasers at Monkeys" or something...

    Merry Christmas indeed! Great post Sep, and I am looking forward to more! (can you tell I got a box of exclaimation points for Christmas!?)

    Wizard vs. Fighter duels

    The Arena size probably skews the fight towards the Wizard. The wizard basically gets off a free spell while the fighter makes range to attack.

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    I thought that a better way to state multiple attacks would be "After the first attack, a player may reduce thier Attack Bonus by 5 and attack again as long as the AB remains above 0."

    My take on sorcerer

    I thought the whole Olds Folks/Gazebo home thing was tongue and cheek. Didn't fit with what the class was trying to accomplish I thought.

    Low-Magic Campaign Experiment

    I know you probably covered this, but I skimmed and skimmed and couldn't find it: do you have this compiled all in one place? I really like the ideas you're throwing out and would like to read them in a more compiled/complete formate, if, of course, such a thing exists.

    My take on sorcerer

    One thing that I thought was strange was the contrast between the flavor text and the mechanics of the class; I thought they didn't pair up very well. The flavor text is tongue and cheek (and incontinence or inconvenience?) while the class has the potential to be very dark and serious. It put me...

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    I would definately agree. It seems natural though, that they would have to transcend typically human interests or else fall into ennui/nihilism (ie get tired of playing thier characters).

    Eadric et. al. (The Paladin and his Friends).

    just reading up on Chieromancer's sidhe class progression. Reminded me of the thread :)

    Inherent Bonus to AC

    Well I'm just saying that it shouldn't be better than an epic feat! Inherent bonuses are pretty good, you know?

    Inherent Bonus to AC

    Well I think this should put it in perspective: A natural armor bonus is another one of those "not in all cases" bonuses, and it's an epic feat. Inherent being an uncommon, undeniable bonus, it would have to be a dodge bonus to be remotely balanced in terms of epic and non-epic feats.

    Inherent Bonus to AC

    why wouldn't this be a dodge bonues? I mean while mechanically it may be balanced, there isn't a good flavor/logical reason why this would work. I mean I could see the character sacrificing training in a weapon to be more able to dodge blows, but I couldn't see like, "I am naturally harder to...
