The trouble I have is that I am possibly being too literal-minded about it. Up to fourth level spells are granted not just by a spirit, but specifically "a servant of the deity". I think I'm doing ok on the religion front, but am chagrined to find that the cleric class must be shoe-horned in...

I'm putting together a game using my old and rediscovered 1st edition books, and am using the opportunity to play around with new ideas for world building. one of the things I'm working on is that the area the players will start in (and build characters from) doesn't have deities or a pantheon...

Hm. I want to say I expected a bigger resolution, but now I have vague memories of saying this all before... Alas, my memory. She is not so good as ice I had hoped her to be. I must say though, I am continually impressed by the group's ability to be reverent towards the divine. That is...

I am finding that Shomei has always been an exquisite thing in and of herself. Of all those who walk this particular stage, she alone has aleays struck me as somehow utterly selfless in her actions. Often what transpires is in her favor but it somehow unfolds that way as though it were natural...

This is true. And didn't Ernie just drop some deadweight fighter levels? So this is a nice replacement to allow him to keep up the momentum. My comment was more on my perceptions. Ernie has never been that kind of a character, never (as I recall) used a destruction or a disintegrate. Ernie is a...

Forgive my inherent munchkinism, but my first thought is "in what situation is +10 attack, +5 (7?) damage and marking an enemy worth losing spellcasting for the test of a battle?" And then I thought about it. As epic games go, yours is definitely epic in scope, but as far as epic mechanics go...

I... Wow. Sepulchrave II, I am beyond amazed. Again. You'd think, after learning from Mostin's notions of infinite becoming, I would stop being surprised by this. Oh, but I suppose once I stop being surprised, the process is at an end; by it's nature I'd have to be surprised again by the next...

For great justice! Mind finally healed from studying the diagram bump!

Few dozen? Uh, Sagiro, I've linked several dozen people myself. Who knows how many these other folks have? Sagiro, your story hour here has directly impacted how I not only play, but view gaming in general. I am still somewhat agog at it being over. But... Wow, man. Wow. EDIT: ahaha. Took me...

Seeing Conan tomorrow partly on grodog's suggestion bump! Does anyone recall what the gap is, between the game and the story hour? I recall (I think) Sep saying they don't quite use the D&D 3.5 system as their vehicle anymore. But maybe that's a different story hour... Is it entirely possible...

I assumed, myself, that he stayed out of range. Of the top of my head (and I remember looking it up, but only just) see invisibility has a range of 60 feet. With flight going, Parthol could have easily evaded the company while casing them or strafing them. I actually believe there is a point...

Grodog, you are the gravitic force which holds me in orbit. You and Cheiro are like the natural forces at work, here. It's impressive, and makes me feel like I'm thanking gravity for gravity-ing... But still. Thanks for the enthusiasm, mates. It's infectious, and you folks are always good for a...

And with this, Dranko cements his place as the most popular man that can never be famous ever. Seriously, that is the coolest rogue trick ever. I will make a note of having horses appear on peoples heads from now on.

The only downside to pen and paper is when you grab someone else's notes, they can be hard to read. One of my players writes his character sheets in a stream-of-consciousness fashion, where I have been trained to make character sheets a certain way since back before I found a red box in the...

The Claviger extended the ban on Calling magics to include theistic use as well; before that move, a wizard could not bind a lantern archon, but a cleric could try and Gate Asmodeus himself with no rebuke (well, from the Claviger). Just assaulting Wyre would do little (as far as teleporting in...

I might not. Luckily, they are lazy assassins and are having trouble finding a target of first name: pirate last name: cat. Don't even get me started on hunting down Sagiro. "does he have a surname?" "uh... Well, no. But he has moustaches? Does that count?" The guild won't even let me get to...

Needs more Deforch. Seriously though, I am enjoying this line of stories and learning a lot. Have you played in the last two weeks, or have you been swayed by the tides of reality?

This brings up one of my one pet-peeves; the player who says something ("I fight evil" or "I protect nature") and doesn't think it through. Druid goes through mountains and ignores the party usig pitons to crack thousand year old, perfect and regal rock faces. Druid ignores the party draining an...

This is so much easier to deal with as a barbarian. Extra damage? No, charge someone, extra attack, extra attack, extra charge. Much more fun. Or at least easier on my non-4e mind. That being said, 4e finally has enough options that I don't feel shoe-horned into doing specific class and race...

That's a mighty fine idea thar, Blargney. I think I will look into it.
