    A question about the knowledge skill

    I think a knowledge list is unnecessary. It should be what ever the player wants. Knowledge (???) should be discussed with the DM and the DM needs to let every one know the limits of that knowledge.

    [OT] History of the World

    Actually the title is a bit of a misnomer. I was lucky enough to playtest it in the early 90s for avalon hill. We joked about renaming it "The History of Ethnic Cleansing." Their is only a little bit of strategy and a lot of luck. The game is really won/lost during the last turn. Think...

    value of NPC equipment?

    When I do what you are saying I impose the same shopping rules on me that I impose on the PCs. But I do not do that as a rule. I look at what I have and out fit him in what I feel he would have come across. Therefore, if that war2 does not have access to a store I would outfit him in hides...

    What's in your game?

    I think it depends what the DM owns and has access to. Also what kind of make up are the players themselves. I run a secondary campaign. I own nothing but core. Therefore, I stick to the core books and the advice of 2 other trustworthy people. However, if Player C, asks for something to be...

    How many "official" classes & PrCs give +1d6 sneak attack at 1st level?

    I have a different under standing of official I always understood that official is the 3 core books period. Every thing else is fluff. I remember that even if it came out in dragon it was not official. Has this changed?

    opinions on Cavalier prestige class

    Thanks to Tower's website http://www.geocities.com/towerthebroken/cavalier.html I only know about the above cavalier PrC. His needs a BAB +6. Where are you getting you BAB +8 from? Is this from a book, a magizine article or what? In the future it would be nice if people post were they...

    1 charisma

    I have a character with really low cha. In all role playing scenarios he is ignored, execpt when he gets frustrated and lashes out violently. Then he is attacked by everyone who can attack. (for some reason these NPCs are all level 20, go figure). If he killed someone he is given the...

    Getting sued for what you say on a messageboard

    All in all something is fishy. How did the guy get the judgement but not the notice about the court date? How did he get found at all? I know a little about xybernaught, and they have developed a computer that fits a niche. The computer is great for those engineers who need to access data...

    Need help with EPS (Extreme Player Stupidity)

    As much As I encourage role playing I may have missed something. The players are suppose to get the puzzle pieces, 1 PC stole a piece. What is the problem? But Would n't the cultist go after the thief? Not neccesarily the whole party. Have them ignore/parly with the other PCs and just go...

    Making Skeletons unturnable

    Tactically: Ensure that they come from all directions. This will minimize the turning effects. Also keep them spread out and in multiple waves. Maybe even add several blind kobalds to occupy the fighters so that they can not rush up to the skeletons.

    Swashbuckling

    Do what chrono says. But before you do, make sure everyone including yourself is aware your ruling of mechanics may not be totally "by the book." That whole sequence you described, guess the DC of the entire action, figure which attribute is most prevelant, than roll. If he rolls low...

    There is a person by the name of Tower. The URL below is his site. He may have something besides a wrestler that you may want instead. Look up Orc headbanger. For the wrestler, Look up the grappler PrC. http://www.geocities.com/towerthebroken/prestigeclasses.html

    Empires, Trade, and Gold!

    Shark, I am sure you saw my post on the other board. But I still never heard from you how simple/complicated do you want it to be? The beauty of economics in an RPG is it can be as simple Country V is the richest, country A is the 2nd, country B & D have equal wealth. Or You can create...

    Do you let players buy Magic items?

    I have no "magic" weapons in my campagin. I just have grades of craftmanship. What you call a +2 I call a very fine crafted blade. It is all how you present it. The PCs do not go into the store and ask for a +3 sword. The shopkeeper would call the nut house. But when I describe it OOC I...

    Neutrality Bites

    I agree with Ruin. I DM an evil campaign because the players want to screw each other over. In this case give them what they want. I encourage note passing. I pass notes to let certain people have knowledge of things that the party would not know. I leave it up to the players to inform...

    craft(bowmaking) question

    That rule is right about not retrieving arrow hits, and 1/2 of the missed. A crooked arrow = severe plenalties. A crooked bow = no big deal. Due to the need to have an extremely straight, balanced shaft, Arrows are not easy to make on the move or during an adventure. Logically I always...

    Chaotic Neutral Rogue-Ranger

    A rogue ranger in my mind fits your original concept. However, the DM interperts the rules. If he says the sky is pink, than the sky is pink. CN is one of the hardest alignments to play, because it does not mean I can do whatever/whenever I want to.
