    7 Things to love about 7th Sea

    It's been awhile since I played this game, and the memory is always the 2nd thing to go....I just wish I could remember the first. Overall I liked the game. Particularly the way all the stats were useful for combat (if my memory is correct). But the magic system was bad. I seem to recall no...

    Of the Adversarial Relationship between DM and Players, and the Need For It.

    What do you mean by ? How do you know a player is playing against you and not the scenario?

    When a Dragon and an Angel fall in love...

    Order I thought there was an order you were supposed to apply templates? Though I imagine a 1/2 celestial wrymling would be the most logical (ok, it's a game a logical, rralistic or reasonable don't really apply) solution. All the 1/2 celestial humanoid reptile ideas are good too.

    Arresting the PCs

    That is so so true. Most players would rather have their characters die than - loose control (enchantment(charm person, etc...), railroad plots or alignment debates("thats not what your character would do")) - loose their toys (sunder or theft) - loose freedom (imprisionment) I had my (all...

    Rules Misunderstandings Over The Years

    Way back when elves were a class and they didn't have hardback rulebooks, a friend thought your class level = what level of spells you could cast. 3rd level wizard with 3rd level spells.

    Fochlucan Lyrist build help

    more feats Quicken spell for 1 of your remaining feats definitely (for action economy) and someway to be able to cast spells and maintain your bardic music. Perhaps Silent metamagic on your druid spells. Though I seem to recall a bard feat that let you cast spells while singing, or maybe I...

    Dealing with overly cautious players!

    Imo Just some random thoughts; -It's hard to Not be Genre Savvy. -Paranoids think the world is out to get them. For PC's in a RPG, the world IS out to get you. -"Well, you don't see that everyday...unless you're ME!"

    I need major optimization help

    Mission Impossible So what you are asking is, "How do I optimize to beat a DM who will create enemies with arbitrarily high stats, impossible abilities and immunities"? You can't. Whatever you come up with, he can (and probably will) nerf. If you are dismissive of Radient Servant of...

    The Best Way to Dispute a DM

    My 2 cents The best way to dispute the call? Do the following in private and in a non-confrontational manner; 1- With facts, read the spell carefully to him and tell him how you interpret it. 2- Ask, "Do you really want us to be able to use it that way?" If he insists that the npc's can use...

    Pathfinder 1E Will's E6 Pathfinder project, feedback requested

    Imho I love E6 and it's variants. I also like houserules. But on 1st glance, I'm not sure I like what you have done to magic and the magic using classes. I thought 1 of the ideas behind E6 was that the classes, melee and magic, were balanced at that point. So then you can play a balanced...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] DM questions regarding the art of magic war

    My group has an understanding, anything the players can do, the npc's can do. So if a player comes up with a clever trick, they can expect to see it in the future. Use the exact same tactics against the group and a) hear them complain and/or b) watch how they counter them, and take notes.

    D&D 3E/3.5 (3.5) Problem player and campaign issues

    Welcome to high level DnD. I would say you have 2 separate problems, a player issue and a level issue. The level issue is one almost everyone faces; at higher levels DnD gets wonky. I had a campaign last from 1st to 17th, and after about 12th I had a hard time challenging the characters. So...

    Survival adventure and spell components

    I want to do more of a survivalist game, so the players aren't starting with all their equipment in a pile. As such, normal resources become precious and limited. My question is; How many spells can you cast from a standard spell component pouch? Is it written in RAW anywhere? What would your...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Kingmaker E6?

    As a group, we like and have used E8 (really GestaltE8). Currently we are starting Kingmaker (now, lvl3, in the 1st module). The DM was thinking about E8/10(?), but has decided the effort to adapt the later modules to it isn't worth the effort. Though he hasn't ruled it out. I will chat with...

    KINGMAKER: Crazy idea, or crazy like a fox?

    Some ideas off the top of my head Fluff-wise, I don't know either AP, so you are on your own how you get from Council to Kingmaker. Mechanics-wise; some random ideas -upgrade opposition in the lower modules (lots of DM work) -have characters take on the encounters alone (or with low level...
