    What! Limper has a gripe?

    As to the guy that's a lump.... How is individual xp awards going to change the guy? Apparently he's catatonic to the game and wouldn't give a flying flip one way or the other about xp. Boot him or if its that bothersome, leave yourself. It really has nothing to do with individual rewards.

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    Sweet mother of god are you an elistist. Attitudes like this are the main reason Pen and Paper games are dying or stuck to a small niche. There's a lot of people out there that find these games interesting, but don't want the pressure of being forced to intensely roleplay in every session...

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    I agree...roleplaying should be awarded. I said that in my previous post. It should be a large award that is split evenly by the players, just like combat xp is. Individual awards are the ones that I have a problem with. Individual awards just have the tendency to lead to favoritism and...

    Gotta love pettiness and pointless nit-picks. :D

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    bah...you get my point though. Using thespianism (which I relate to Jon Lovitz in SNL) as an example was simply me being a smartbutt.

    Hehe (munches cookie happily) :) "You're all individuals!" "We're all individuals!"

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    All the players that I've seen that want a system like this are like roosters in the farmyard. They strut and preen their roleplaying "skills" and want to be recognized for it. They care little for the other players' enjoyment of the game and refuse to see that sometimes people have different...

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    Bah! Individual awards breed resentment in players. You share killing xp, so you should share roleplaying xp. I do roleplaying for my enjoyment, not for competition with other players, the game is group-based anyway. The DM should look at the roleplaying from a group perspective and award...

    Chacters that hate other characters

    My opinion of BlackMoria's example is that the player playing the elf was just being rude. I mean, he knew what was going to happen when he made the character, and in fact, he was even warned by the rest of the group. As a player, I don't consider party conflict very fun. I can understand...

    Speech possible after reinc into black bear?

    I would say yes, or I did in my game. It was an easy decision though since the player had a feat from MotW which allowed him to cast in Wildshape form anyway. BTW... The Reincarnate spell is a sacred cow that should have been hit with a big hammer and served up as steaks. Its way too...

    Magic Items And Campaign Balance?

    I would have to disagree with the point of view that fighters are shafted in low-magic games. DnD is supposed to be a group-based game, with each member having a role to fill. A fighter is the best at fighting. He has the highest base attack bonus, the most feats, and usually the highest...

    Limited Wish/Wish to respec a character?

    I have a PC that is wanting to change his character when he gets a limited wish or wish spell. He is currently a general wizard that wants to change to a diviner/loremaster. Any rules on this or precedents?

    Prime Material Women Are Easy!

    With all the half-dragons, half-celestials, half-fiends, and Half-elementals running around...they should make a movie called Prime Material Women Are Easy! Does this have any further humor? Nope. Just a random thought on a slow Friday :D
