Thank you, Ray Silver. I was quite close to buying this book, but from what you just described, I am certain it is not for me.

What are the examples of difficult moral situations given in the book, and what are the solutions? Just a small excerpt would be appreciated.

Frank and Artoomis are correct. Furthermore, I just want to say it is great to have posters arguing based on the rules for once. Most people here just argue for what they want in their own games, and try to twist the rules to fit with their own interpetations. PS Nail, give me a break...

Wisdom. Behold Great Gerhardts understanding that no risk should be taken unless it entails a gain to be had. [/b] Charisma, and Intelligence. Behold Great Gerhardts ability to sway those beneath him to follow in his lead, and his ability to analyze the skills of the party, pitiful though...

Sune is a special, noted exception to the normal rules. The reason for this is to allow the classic chivalrous knight who fights for his ladies honor, in the name of beauty and grace. Whether or not that is a valid reason to grant an official exception is up for debate.

You know as well as I do that such behavior would require electroshock therapy to modify.

Ah, but what is acting in a Lawful Good manner in your campaign? This should really be defined, if just for the peace of mind of the player controlling the Paladin. It is extremely irritating to have to constantly obsess over every action you take, wondering if it might cause you to lose all...

The Paladin should have a solid set of rules to follow for situations just like this. If you have not provided him with a strong foundation in his code, you cannot blame him for making mistakes, since he has no guiding light to carry him along the righteous path. Of course, you would rarely...

Because the principles of a Chaotic deity are anathema to the Lawful code a Paladin follows.

A Paladin of Ellistrae? That violates the one step rule, which is particularly important to enforce for Paladins. Since the core rules no longer apply, the situation described here is inherently flawed, and thus the only possible resolution for you to arrive at is one unique to your own campaign.

Aye. Dr. Strange was far above the power level of a mere 35th level Wizard, however. The only beings who could reasonably challenge/humble him at the height of his power were creatures like D'Spayre or Mephisto, demons or spirits of nearly incalcuable strength. The only other Marvel Heroes on...

Cyclops is the one who gets Jean. Poor Wolverine is left to his own devices, and with those claws it is a damn risky proposition.

It is not the powers that define a Hero, it is their character. The powers a hero possesses are just another means of developing character, and that is what makes them cool or interesting.

Gambit is actually one of the more popular X-Men. He is mostly as the description says, and in addition is one of the most powerful mutants on the planet. The full realization of his powers are nothing less than earth shattering, (though I really think Marvel took many characters too far in...

Nice test. <a href="http://www.liquidgeneration.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.liquidgeneration.com/quiz/images/ghostrider.jpg" width="403" height="165" border="1">

Nightfall, get over it. The fact is Relics And Rituals does have several broken spells. Other DMs have also voiced displeasure with the product. In fact, I have seen more complaints about Relics And Rituals than any other similar book on the market. At the very least, you need to modify a...

As I have said so many times before, societal influences do not determine the morality of your actions in the D&D system. If an action is Evil, than it is always Evil, regardless of what society has to say on the matter. Societal values are values that are supposed to be represented mostly...

Once again, it is not Benito, nor Aris, who saves the party in their time of need. It is Grim. I say that he should get bonus experience for showing such great restraint in regards to the ignorance of the supposed party leaders. ;)

Great Gerhardt is the Hero of the group. He is the lynchpin bringing together the party, even when it is simple jealousy of his greatness. He is the one taking the blows of the deadliest creatures, the one slaying the greatest threats, and the one keeping everyone else alive. He is noble...

That is an inherent problem I see with the system, actually. The Chaotic alignment is usually viewed as inferior to the Lawful alignment. Chaos is cited as being ineffecient, unorganized, and plain stupid in many cases in the D&D system. This is no doubt the result of the 1E fact of Lawful...
