I remember it, but I haven't thought about it in years. I don't think it's been maintained, but something like it (SRD) would be completely legal, finally. --Seule

My character creation guidelines for my current campaign: You will be a member of the City Watch. You may therefore not be Evil or Chaotic. You must have a reason for being in the Watch, even if it is just for the pay. From there, everything fell into place. --Seule

LARPing can be a lot of fun, but you have to apply the same criteria to LARPs that you do to a tabletop game. Many people LARP with players they would never get near at a table, and I think that that leads a lot of people to dislike LARP. You have to be picky about what game you join, and who...

I've played with gamers that I couldn't trust. Die cheats, charsheet cheats, people who base a character entirely on how powerful they will be. I don't play with those people any more. I trust the people I play with. --Seule

Have a look at www.emass-web.com for Ema's charsheet. It's not updateable, but there's space to pencil in powers, and it's laid out very well. Anyway, any given Psion doesn't have very many powers, so it's not hard to write them in. --Seule

Spoilers: Madness in Freeport Case 3266A Part 2 Assault on the Lighthouse We continued up the stairs to apprehend Sea Lord Drac and we found him in the upper reaches of the lighthouse but he was being guarded by Cpt. Brock Wallace and Melkior Maeorgan. We informed both these men that...

I'm caught between horrified laughter and frightened admiration. That may be the single best moment in any story hour I have read, and I regularly read about 6 (including this one, of course). I assume that's an Epic Spell, graven so there's no cost to learn it, and I can only imagine what it...

Having no idea whether your DM will allow it, I have to suggest a Seer, the divination specialist Psion. They get not bad skills and their abilities are dedicated to finding stuff out. It's probably not exactly what you are looking for, but It's worth looking into. --Seule

I'd like the chance to update a couple of older characters I played under 2nd edition: Quez, the Fremlin Wildmage Grung, the Bullywug Cleric Both were a lot of fun to play, and I'll now be able to resurrect them. What would I want to play? Maybe an Ogre or similar big dumb creature. Maybe a...

I'm sorry, I was with you up until this point. You want people to be able to get 9th level powers as Wild Talents? Remember, these powers are approximately equivalent to 9th level spells, like Wish, Miracle, or Time Stop. I don't want anyone in any game getting access to these, without having...

Personally, I like Ema's character sheet, at www.emass-web.com. It has Psychic sheets included. --Seule

I think my finest moment as a Rules Monkey was the time an NPC criticalled my character into negatives, and then I pointed out the longspears actually do triple damage on a critical, thereby killing my character. --Seule

I played a Vampire character in a LARP (don't laugh, LARPing is great fun if you find a good group) who had been on the Crusades, and gotten turned there. He was still a Christian 800 years later, but believed that the world had gone downhill, and the pure faith of the Dark Ages could never be...

A Rules Lawyer, or Twink, uses the Dark Side of the Cheese. You, like myself, use the Light Side of the Cheese. The key question is whether you use your Rules Knowledge powers for good or evil, and it sounds like you are very emphatically on the side of good. Pointing out rules that will help...

Personally, I prefer ginger ale, preferably Vernors. Or milk. Or occasionally vanilla coke. Coke and pepsi are both pretty vile. --Seule

Monday night D&D game: No couples. Tusday Night Game: 3 couples, 1 married 4.5 years (me), one married 1.5 years, 1 dating 7 years. Wednesday Night Game: 2 couples (married from above). Thursday Night Game: 1 couple, dating 1 year. Friday night game (mine): 3 couples (all from above). The...

I had a childhood friend named Arwen, she'd be about 30 now. I also had a friend with the middle name Rhiannon, it's not uncommon in Wales, I understand. Friends have named their daughter Toril, and another set of friends have named their daughter Anrya, after a character the mother played. I...

I also remember with nostalgia loading the page every day, hoping for a new snippet. And attending a demo at a Con and playing a Sorcerer, and then reporting. Wait, are you sure you aren't me, Mortaneus? --Seule

My understanding is that this theory (which is not limited to this thread, I've seen it elsewhere) comes entirely from the Pit Fiend going up by 4 in SR and by a good chunk in Saves. I suspect that the Pit Fiend stats we have seen are for a monster of about CR 20, which would put the SR right at...

The shield spell doesn't stack with a normal shield... but how were you casting spells with a shield anyway? You do know you have to have a hand free? That's why the Bladesinger PrC mandates 1 longsword and the offhand free. Haste is nerfed as you say, to be less useful to casters. It's...
