    Pathfinder 1E Barbarian Rage and Unconscious

    Hi! I can't seem to find a good thread for this... so I'm starting one. Does a barbarian drop out of rage when they become unconscious? I vote yes, and then a corresponding loss of CON/HP and lots of barbarians die. The 3.5 FAQ says no. What do you say? Aluvial

    Diplomacy Creator Dies at 81

    I think it is a matter of intensity. I've only played twice, and in my first game over 20 years ago, I was stabbed, BAD! And I had that game.... or so I thought. I was HOT! I talk about it to this day with this person... in my second game (because I can never get others to play), I allied...

    Miniature Painting

    Well, just like the pile of unpainted lead I have... here are the pictures that I promised a few months back. There are 3. The first is of the mess that is my painting table. The second is of the "Snapware" that I use. I think this is the one...

    How to tell someone not to come back.

    Text message him everyday while he is driving to work.... eventually he'll text back and hit a possum. Or sword him. Or, wait... Go with TEEN GIRL SQUAD #8. D12'd! Ha ha. or tis the season for Ho Ho HO. OR... BWOH-HO-HO!!!! Seriously. Text him.

    Gamehackery: The Initiative Initiative

    I use a white board that hangs in sight of the players, behind me. I can make changes when needed. I keep LOTs of game info on this, including watch orders, essential stats, marching order... and so on. I'm changing this to a magnetic white board soon, and will have all the PC's names...

    Miniature Painting

    Yes, that's it! Very good video. I think you can get it from C'MON. I'll take some pics and get them uploaded.

    Miniature Painting

    The best miniature painting tip that I've tried recently, is the wet palette. I picked this up off a French video... Anyhow, here are the materials. You need an air tight locking tupperware. I use the ones where the top hinges onto each side and locks with a rubber seal. Parchment...

    Dungeon Command - First Game

    Merrric, Are the miniatures new, or are they repaints of old sculpts? What is the quality of the scupts if they are new? Thanks, Aluvial

    Enhancement bonuses

    I used the Stonechild racial class from Races of Stone (6 total levels). I think that if you worked it into the story then adding it as a class would be fine... Of course, it has a very low BAB, but that hardly matters with the STR gain.

    DMs - What is your point buy method?

    Here is my current character creation rules. We are playing a modified Pathfinder game. The point buy comes in step 1.F. I put these together from many places. Aluvial

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Shooting/Throwing into melee and missing....

    Here is a house rule that I made up for my 3.x campaign. My group has been using this rule for ten years or so. I want to pre- defend the complexity of this house rule. I have found that, by the mid levels (7 on up), unless you are outdoors (or in a big cavern complex), the only characters...

    Playtest Update

    Concur... I find the new fight with, "I'm doing something cool, give me advantage" for even the tiniest little thoughts. It's another situation where if you give an inch, they take a mile. I think they need more concrete examples of what gives and what doesn't give advantage (or disadvantage)...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Reflex Saves and Conditions Question

    This does sound like a terrible idea. I agree. Of course, I have the experience of all of the fine folks at EN World to draw upon to float ideas for house rules for well established systems. ;) I think that I'm not the only one who thinks that certain conditions should penalize certain saves...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Reflex Saves and Conditions Question

    Yes, initiative or FF. I'm thinking about making a stright Dex reduction for these cases. -4 seems to be the best approach, although I may look at -2 and add any additional AC penalties as extra for the Saves. I can actually see you getting Will penalties for a few of the items, like sleeping...

    TRAILBLAZER - PDF Release - Discussion/Questions/Errata

    Hi, I bought Trailblazer long ago, read it through, and licked my lips in anticipation of my next campaign. Some years later, the new game is underway, I've dusted off my original download, and have a few questions. Is there a newer version? Is there a hypertext version? Is there a...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Reflex Saves and Conditions Question

    Thanks for the help. I want to house rule that if you lose your Dex bonus to AC that you also lose it to Reflex saves. Can anyone point out any real negative ramifications of doing this? Aluvial EDIT: Hmm, while running this idea with my wife (a player for three years!), she pointed out...

    Pathfinder 1E Trailblazing Pathfinder

    I'd also love to see a table like TB's 1.6 and 1.7 done for Pathfinder. Has that been done anywhere? Aluvial

    Pathfinder 1E Trailblazing Pathfinder

    I respectfully ask for this as well. I love Trailblazer, and as I adopt changes for my new campaign it would be helpful to know what I'm changing and why and where I needed those changes. I'm using PF classes now, with a few tiny TB tweaks. Other TB rules are being slowly introduced into the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Reflex Saves and Conditions Question

    Yes, but that is the issue I'm having. It just doesn't make sense that objects get reflex saves. They can't move, so how can they get a save? Ok, here's an example. Let's say I toss a 7d6 fireball into a room of orcs. There are 5 of them, who earlier, had a scuffle with the PCs. Orc 1...
