I thought this was the definition of roleplaying. Otherwise the game would just be a board game. I have no problem believing a trip attemp every round and succeeding. First there is an attack roll. If you don;t want to get hit, boost your touch ac. There is a show on one of the discovery...

I agree completley, it is the largest reason why I can't embrace the new rules. There are two argument to this, neither which I agree with, but I'll state em, to be fair. one: there was always abstraction.... Hit points, even attack rolls were supposed to be a series of vollys either...

To talk a bit about the original post, on what else could wizards have done, why couldn't Wizards have done both. I know this may sound crazy, but why not keep 3.5 and make a new line. D&D Extreme?

so I say again, every minion in the word is unliucky. Is there a god of minions who hates his followers? Is there a curse on them? Heck, I'll play a minion and go on a quest to lift it. There is a difference between EVERY minion be klilled by a single shot, or a player rolling a few 1s...

So all the minions in the world have delusions of grandeur? They think they are bad (As in kick butt bad) when all they are is bad (as in cant fight bad). ALL of them? What makes a minion a minion then. If they think they are strong enough to kill the pc, then why are they taking crap from...

Well, the sentence I quoted was trying to describe an in-game reason how the mark system was plausable. My reply was to show how the in-game reason didn't work. All you did here was make the point even stronger. How in game does that big guy restrict my movement, and hurt me more when I go...

The threads that have come up latley make me wonder if the biggest difference between 4ed people and non 4ed is thier definition of fun. I think for people who are really into 4ed thier idea of fun is kicking but and killing bad guys. Here is what I find fun. Designing a character around a...

Here is a quick story of two of my game, and why it wouldn't work in 4th. Players go into a rough bar level 1. It is filled with some of the roughest characters around. They try not to be noticed and get out before they get thiers buts kicked (They are not from that town). One character...

Because for some people playing a character that is afraid to take that one hit, so they look for ways to avoid it IS fun. I don't know who said this, but it is silly. Let me put myself in the place of my character (The whole object of a RPG in my opinion). I get into a fight. A big dude is...

I look at it his way. Why do we buy from a local store. 1. Get to look through the products to see which one I want the most. 2. Get to converse wioth other players, maybe get in on a game. 3. Enjoy talking "shop" with the owner. 4. Support a local shop so I can do 1-3 Well, judging from the...

I just want to say that my gripe when 3rd came out, was the reliance on magic items and how it got to be more like a video game, with all the buff spells. The only real house rules I have are to reduce the "all adventurers have gauntlets of str/dex/wiz etc so your mage is walking around with 17...

I havn't gotten the book yet, so I will only comment on the things I have heard on the boards. The fact the Roleplaying takes a back seat combat is big for me. We can say that in other version it always has, but I have never felt that way. I have always thought that with most of the 3.5...

I know exactly how the op feels. When it comes to Monsters I don't understand the whole concept of "give me stats I'll fit it in". If all I wanted was a bunch of stats, I don't need a book for that. I have put together a monster where I write down an AC and HP and fudge the rest, making it up...

Actually no. It is like ordering a chocolate cake from a place that I used to get cake all the time from and loved it. Then the chef comes out and says, here is your chocolate cake and puts a bagel in front of me. Then tells me about all the great flavors of of chocolate cake we have now, the...

I work in a call center for Bank of America, handling high end clients. I am a low level manager of the dept and am right in the middle of the scale for pay. I did not finish college (or even go for more than a class or two), but D&D has definately helped me. I moved from a mook to management...

When I first got into Robotech the RPG I read the rules and thought "This will work great". I went and bought a bunch of the other books. Then we played. I thought it would be cool to start with an minor attack. Zentradi Tac pod show up on Radar. The Veritech pilot got into the air and I...

Concidering one of the main reason given for converting by a lot of people here was that they were tired of house ruling 3.5, and wanted to be able to play the game right out of the box, the poll is very interesting in its results.

Season Two may not have been the best tv but... heroes (season 2) is to The Bachelor (or 99% other reality tv) as clean cool water is to a cup of old urine.

Well the way I see it, you owe the party money now. See when you joined the group, it was on the intention that for a share of treasure that you keep for yourself, you were required to fill certain obligations. One of them is to act as a defender of the party. Due to your ineptitude (remember...

Too bad it is using the palladium rules :(
