I'm actually working on my own divine warlock right now. The problem with a divine warlock is that infinite healing is not a good thing. You must have some way to limit the healing that a divine warlock can do if you want a healing warlock, otherwise the party will always be at full health. My...

When I first heard about it, IH jumped to the top of my "must buy" list. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it.

A company can lose me with consistantly poor products (EX: Mongoose's early Quintessentials) or a single unabashedly poor product (EX: the first Creature Collection from Swords & Sorcery studios). However, an extremely good product (EX: Mongoose's Connan) or a line of good products (EX: the...

I'm certainly not happy with the way my group, my GM and myself has been told that we don't understand the game, that we're ill-suited to play it, and that we just don't get it. I haven't told my GM about this thread, and luckily he's not a big internet guy, so I don't need to worry about him...

Even after the horror stories I'd heard about superhero games, I gave Mutants & Masterminds a shot, and now the only problem I have with the game is trying to find a copy of the new edition. Cyberpunk 2021 was another pleasant surprise. Not the greatest game in terms of mechanics, and after...

Well the rules weren't well-suited to our group and our GM, so for us the rules themselves were at fault for us. And judging by what other people have posted elsewhere at ENWorld, my group isn't the only one to have such problems. I'm well aware that my experiences don't translate to universal...

And I object to you saying my GM isn't even a decent GM, that we don't have any understanding of the game, and that I'm making sweeping generalizations. Let me reitterate what I've been trying to say: my group has found C&C to be a poor game because we feel it has a ruleset which is poorly...

Can't beat illusion for flexibility.

He did. He had dexterity and charisma as his primes (I honestly forget the third one his thief had, but I don't think it came up in play). The problem was that the mage (who did not have charisma as a prime) had charisma as a great charisma score, so even with the two characters having different...

Because I'd love to waste three weekends playing a game I didn't like. Yeah right. We spent two hours prior to the game going over the rules (with the help of some overviews found here at ENWorld), making note of what C&C added and what it took away. The SEIGE engine got a big plus from us...

Palladium takes the cake by a longshot: it's the only game I've ever shelved never to play again (RIFTS to be specific). Within the first twenty minutes of play, there was an obvious power gap between members of the party so vast that it boggled the mind. A distant runner up would be Castles &...

I started with 2E and have used minis ever since.

Disillusionment threads are so anime.

Because, you know, it'd be criminal to enjoy both the roleplaying and the tactical aspect of the game. I for one enjoy pretty much all aspects of the game and try to provide a good balance of it when I play. Believe it or not, enjoying the tactical and the numbers aspects of the game do not...

The whole "never" clause is a little too much for me. There's prestige classes from Complete Divine which I don't like, but at the same time, I wouldn't flat-out deny players access to a resource. If a player was willing to work with me to get a class to fit their character and the setting, then...

I run a purely psionic game (though it recently stalled thanks to a board move and the loss of a lot of our game data). It's working out pretty well so far, and provides a nice change of flavor from high-fantasy to more of an Age of Enlightenment cultural feel. I'm using psionics alongside the...

Glad to see my rogue revision is finding some useage out there :). Let me know how it works out for you, VirgilCaine.

Probably because psionics is extremely weak compared to divine magic. The combat ability is nothing when you can summon something with good spells. And compare a greater earth elemental to an 8th level astral construct: Construct has many fewer HP, but a higher AC. Construct has a slightly...

I'd be happy to. Abjuration magicks are probably the closest for a long while between the two types of casting (arcane and psionic), but the presence of absolutely monstrous spells like the high-end prismatics hand the title to traditional casters. And of course, the end-all-be-all of...

I love psionics enough that I'm running a game right now which exclusively uses psionics. I've also used them alongside traditional magic as a mysterious, alien force which worked very well. Love 'em and I love seeing the little bit of support for psionics WotC has been putting out. I wish there...
