This: ALWAYS take max Body Dev every level. RAW combat in RM is EXTREMELY deadly. Due to the way critical hits work it's just a matter of time before you are unlucky and are dead. There are a lot of fantastic aspects to RM but there's a huge amount of luck based things too at least when I...

Mrs Chorlston - the widow of a recently murdered merchant, an incident which woke latent magical abilities (3.x sorcerer, 4e ?). A young half elven girl, yet unnamed, daughter of a human paladin and elvish wizard. Her older brother and parents were murdered by someone bad as her paladin...

This kind of thing always bugs me; you have a fairly confined space with a large number of living things in it which need to eat, sleep and go to the loo somewhere, yet so many dungeons you see have nothing to support the normal course of life. It's like all the inhabitents go somewhere else at...

I'd like to second that, even though my maths knowledge was not quite up to the task and I had to read it a couple of times to grasp all that was being said!

Actually agents of chaos tend to be quite creative. Read on. ;) Do this except give all of the other people's characters a reason to hate/want to kill the other player's character. Put them in a dungeon where all but one of the characters can escape a horrible death. :devil: Or do this...

That's why it's so good!! :D Also, the halfling is not just sick, he's also ill. :lol:

Hangovers ... the -1 to everything recovers at 1 per hour. So if the Bob the Barbarian stop drinking at 4am, has had 10 drinks and wakes up at 10 the next day he'll be at -4 to everything, decreasing by 1 per hour. I'd not even bother with endurance checks, just do something arbitrary like...

We knew them as "Gnome throwers". :devil:

Hybrid vigor. ;)

How do I convert my girlfriend to gaming? Before we have kids? ;)

Well you've got a rational, but ... why? It's a shift towards "making things more realistic", which, IMNSHO probably isn't a good idea (because I spent 10 years "making things more realistic" only to suddenly realise it was making RPGing boring). I think the question to ask is "What purpose...

She's not channeling David Bowie from Labyrinth, she IS David Bowie from Labyrinth!

Very excellent, great use of cursing! Well done sir!

Well I hope you didn't take my comment as an attack. IMO if you want to do something like this then you need to have an OOC conversation with the player beforehand. An item which does damage if you miss could be a pretty crippling thing, especially if the player had a theme or idea behind the...

I have to say that if it were me I'd not be whining, I'd be going out of my way to get killed just to spite you. :devil: There are better ways to push your plot forward.

Four words: Cave in Rabid bear PCs enter lair, entrance caves in, rabid bear released from cage by same mechanism that cause the cave in. 'Course you also need some decent way of them getting out of the lair after the bear has killed them. Nb. Add some half eaten kobold corpses to the...

Not necessarily. In the UK at least Amazon have a lot of competition. Heck, half the stuff I buy off Amazon I buy not from Amazon but from someone using their storefront. We also have Play.com for movies, computer games and who also have started stocking books at a competitive rate. My...

Observation. In discussion with such people it most often seems that there's no real reason apart from a false perception of difference. Mostly these people don't even see themselves as racist. "I'm not racist, but ... " :hmm: Of course I'm not going to comment on any particular...

Interesting; I've not come across that kind of thing before. There's plenty of racism around here in England but mostly it's just plain old bigotism.

Wormtoungue you mean? Saruman as well. Very white. Saruman the White even.
