We go with dry kibble (Science Diet) -- just that in the morning, but mixed with pumpkin in the evening. They love the pumpkin! It also make identifying turds in stealth mode a bit easier.

I didn't read all of the OP before reading some of the replies. Imagine my surprise: "Shipping kidneys overseas? Already two kidneys sent? Holy crap someone close this thread before the man ends up with 42 kidneys!" :p

One of my players has a chain mail dice bag that he made himself. I played a voodoo priest (Witch) in Pathfinder for a few sessions. When I would cast ear piercing scream, instead of announcing the spell, I would play a YouTube clip of Mike Shank's scream from American Movie. I also frequently...

This came up the other night at our table. The Ranger has FE aberrations (I think) and they were interacting with a shapechanger. We ruled that FE gives advantages to detecting and fighting, but not auto-ID, just as you suggest above.

Finally able to XP Gary again.

Make PDF versions available and sell them for $10. I don't have room for another crapload of hardbacks.

Only four books on your shelf? Wait for it, wait for it: ...svo pjúný :p Edit: Woo hoo, my 400th ridiculous post!

Now that we have that straightened out...Where is Christopher Walken in all of this? "I gotta have more cowbell!"

Qwerty Edit: Huh, for some reason I can't make all the letters capitalized.

Well, since they specifically asked, I'd run 3.5/PF. If it's just a matter of having the books, then PFSRD is really all you need, at least to get started: Pathfinder_OGC Among the six people in our gaming group, we own most, if not all of the Pathfinder books. However, I can't think of...

I think your point would have more force if you went with: "Comeliness needs to die in a fire." :p

I shall win the internet with my new go-to rebuttal: "Your argument/opinion/edition is svo pjúný."

Quick someone construct a strawman! That'll show 'em.

You should have made this poll with all 720 possibilities. I'll abstain in protest. :p

Outstanding. I need to spread XP around...

I bet this would look even cooler if written in Icelandic. :p

By "superheroes," I just mean folks that can do things that "commoners" can't. Neither TN nor M need be huge. For example, if TN = 21, and a PC has M = +1, then the PC has an admittedly small, but positive, chance to succeed, while the commoner does not. (This goes back to why I'm looking at...

I agree with all this, and do not advocate really big modifiers/target numbers. However, there is a difference between 1d20+28 vs. DC 41 and 1d20+8 vs. DC 21. In the second case "commoners" (low-level PCs/NPCs) can possibly make the check, while in the first case only superheroes can reasonably...

There are two considerations when looking at the d20 mechanic: the size of the modifier compared to the range of values the die can take, and the difference between the target number and the modifier. The first is both a mathematical and psychological consideration (how much a player feels as if...

More generally, the mechanic can be expressed as (fate) + (character ability) = outcome. If the numerical representation of the character's ability is small relative to the range of values that come from the fate, then it can be said that the character's ability has relatively little to do with...
