    How does Rich Burlew's Diplomacy system handle threats?

    I really like the whole "let's make a deal" approach to Diplomacy created by Rich Burlew. But so far instead of offering to kill my NPCs' enemies, give them gold, or allow free trade, my players are just offering one thing: "We'll let you live!" On the one hand, anything seems like a good deal...

    Is it a standard action to hold onto a net?

    StreamOfTheSky doesn't need experience points, because StreamOfTheSky is already at Enworld Level 9000. When it says StreamOfTheSky has disabled experience points, it means you will be disabled if you don't give him enough of them. There is no need for StreamOfTheSky to spread some experience...

    Is it a standard action to hold onto a net?

    Apparently I can still give you XP even though you've disabled it... hope you don't mind. Grapple is a good analogy. When you grapple someone to prevent them from moving, it doesn't cost you any actions to stop them -- the burden is on them to win a check. But grappling does put you in a state...

    Is it a standard action to hold onto a net?

    What is this -- one check at the time you hit, a full-round action, a free action that takes both hands, or what? Edit: also, however many actions it takes, I would like to try to invert the rule. It should take the same number of actions and checks, but it should be the entangled creature who...

    [Comic] Friends, parents and girl/boyfriend reactions to RPG

    The thread title says [comic], I was expecting a webcomic like Order of the Stick. Did you mean it's a [comedy] thread?

    Crafting Fluff

    I'd leave this up to the player, and let them decide if it's one of the abilities they want to fluff out. I'd definitely respond to this positively if you asked my rainbow mage "What is the process Chroma is using to craft that magic dagger?" I'd say, "Well, he visits the forge of the Dwarven...

    Players: Do you wear/carry "props" to the game?

    I have a button with a beholder on it saying "I rolled you up a elf paladin... but I eated it." For my Color Spray wizard, I brought Skittles.

    Can't give XP after clicking on a subscribed thread from the Control Panel

    Many people disagree. Requiring the www is abnormal. (Sorry, I have a philosophy of product design that you don't blame the user first, even if the user can fix the problem by changing their behavior to conform to your product.) As soon as I figured out what was causing this it ceased to be a...

    Can't give XP after clicking on a subscribed thread from the Control Panel

    You would be typing the URL in the address bar (like one has to on a computer you don't own) and leaving off the www because it usually doesn't matter. This is my entry point to the site: http://enworld.org/forum/usercp.php. Of course with modern browsers I don't have to type that every day --...

    Can't give XP after clicking on a subscribed thread from the Control Panel

    Hey, I figured it out. When the URL you are at starts with "www.enworld.org," giving XP works. When the URL starts with "enworld.org," giving XP does not work. That's kind of funny, this problem following me to different browsers and computers because of the way I type the URLs. Will this be...

    Can't give XP after clicking on a subscribed thread from the Control Panel

    Good idea. (checks) Nope, also doesn't work in Chrome.

    Good term for "mental dodge"

    Wits. Implies mental quickness. I can imagine saying "Roll versus your wits," though I can't imagine saying "roll versus its wits."

    Can I adventure with my Liveoak treant?

    Pathfinder removed the "within 300 feet from somewhere you need to guard" text from Liveoak, and even in 3.5 I don't think it would prevent the treant from coming adventuring with you once it was animated. So do I basically have a huge treant cohort if I want it? It makes my awakened tree look...

    Can't give XP after clicking on a subscribed thread from the Control Panel

    Confirmed on IE at work and Firefox at home. Nothing pops up when I click the thumbs up button in a thread I arrived at from my list of subscribed threads. Once I post in the thread, then I can give XP again.

    "Finding the Path" for 3 February 2012

    How do you get so many summons when you can only make about 2.5 a round and they last fewer than 20 rounds? Maximized Quickened or something?

    How to Handle a Druid's Animal Companion

    I need to start being very careful about what forum my Google search results are pointing to. I see now it's a pathfinder thing.

    How to Handle a Druid's Animal Companion

    I couldn't find this Int prerequisite for feats listed on the SRD (feats page, animal companion, animal type). Could it have been a 3.0 thing?

    Can you cast Spellstaff on your Changestaff, Shillelagh, or Staff of the Woodlands?

    I don't understand, I just gave out about eight XP in a row on five-year-old threads about Spellstaff, but now in my own thread the XP doesn't work?! Thanks for the answer. By the way, my latest sorcerer has the same name as you :)

    Can you cast Spellstaff on your Changestaff, Shillelagh, or Staff of the Woodlands?

    For Changestaff, I don't see any issues with casting Spellstaff on it. For Staff of the Woodlands, it matters if a magical staff counts as a wooden quarterstaff. For Shillelagh, it matters if "nonmagical" means "no magic cast on it at all," or "no enhancement bonus." What do you think?

    What does "Good at X" mean?

    Thanks for the example, that makes it a lot clearer. Before I didn't know, now I'm definitively coming down for "properties." I don't want to be able to fireball and lightning bolt and shout with equal effect, I don't want my spells to be 30% harder to save against. I want to be "the color guy"...
