    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    The Lothy One returns!!! All Hail the Lothy One!!! We Are Not Worthy!!! It's an wonderful feeling isn't it? The idea that somewhere someone actually wants to give you money to write stuff just makes you want to leap in circles for joy.

    Reincarnate = immortality?

    Naw use the expanded 3e version, all sorts of oddities to throw at a PC there.

    Displacement - a bit wussy eh? Mirror image too...

    RANT WARNING I am becoming sick of this little gem. There is every point in comparison between 3e and 4e if for no other reason than to determine whether you prefer one edition to the other. And we have enough info to make that 3e vs 4e comparison to judge the two side by side. If you like...

    POkemon d20

    Or you could just give everything pseudonatural templates and play Pokethulu d20 But as a general rule decreasing size cat to between Tiny and large while swapping SoDs for save or "paralyzed" and subdual substitution would work. Pokeballs could be built as magic items fairly simply.

    Rerolls aren't all that powerful or at least not so much as some are making them out to be. On the other hand they're the one mechanical device absolutely ban, and I allow CharOp boards PC builds. If there's anything White Wolf taught me it's that reroll mechanics must die, they eat up game...

    How big are the rocks that giants throw?

    Remember size categories have a weight too not just dimensions so while they may be Tiny by dimensions they're Small by weight. And the OP is really underestimating distances objects can be thrown. 20 feet, a milk jug? I can throw an 80 pound bag of fertilizer 20 feet. A milk jug would go...

    They aren't everybody's certainly but they're fairly standard at my table. I'd say on average I see about 300 at twenty increasing to about 500 by lvl35. 1000/round is the top end of the range before you hit the total cheese builds. The Bo9S build is a one-trick pony using the tornado throw...

    Displacement - a bit wussy eh? Mirror image too...

    I've had more than a dozen builds in my campaigns that hit 1000 per round without caster levels and without the end run of the Hulking Hurler. It's actually not quite so harsh, I've seen a build that uses two exploits and a Bo9S maneuver to do 4d8^23 damage. Damage can far exceed 1000 per...

    Displacement - a bit wussy eh? Mirror image too...

    I'll direct you to the Wizard's CharOp board where many builds make 1000 damage possible. It's more accurate to say a caster is necessary to the survival of the party as a whole at high levels. You can survive just fine so long as the casters provide with buffs that occupy their expendable...

    Reincarnate = immortality?

    I don't see a problem with it, I don't think immortality is out of line and should be rendered impossible. It's one of the most common elements of myth and legend, and considering how far D&D jumps beyond most common myths or legends in terms of power it doesn't create problems.

    Also the wizard's shtick was versatility and status effects. Fighters didn't just keep up they OWNED damage dealing at higher levels. I've played in campaigns to 25 and DMed to 39. By the time fighters in our 3e campaigns hit level 20 they could easily make 300 damage a round at the high end...

    Displacement - a bit wussy eh? Mirror image too...

    Example number 1 here, changes to the magic system are the primary reason I want nothing to do with 4e. The magic just doesn't feel like D&D to me, in any other system I would've accepted it because it's not a BAD system, but to me it's not D&D magic

    Jedis Deflecting Blaster Bolts

    At first I read the title as Jesus deflecting blaster bolts and thought 'now there's a good bit to use massively out of context.'

    Anyone else getting anti-4E spam?

    Nope, no spam, just half-hearted Trojan attacks from somewhere in the Northeastern part of China.

    Wishing of Good Health and Love

    You know some of those experiments at Philidephia showed the human mind could affect random number generators to a statistically measurable degree. Maybe we should try something similar, get everyone at EN World to make a concerted effort to think the tumor to death.

    Scuze Update

    Yes and the snow is just to hide all the diamonds lying on the ground. When they need to brighten their grill they use a sandblaster and all the women look like Carmen Electra but hotter.

    Creating Mundane Items

    My central problem is that I'd hoped 4e would be a better game for me than past editions, the way 3e brought me back after I left near the beginning of 2e. I like D&D, it's been my favorite rpg since the first time I played it, and now it's turned into something that doesn't appeal to me. With...

    Creating Mundane Items

    You can have 4e, I'm not interested in it. My point is that there HAS been a change in the design philosophy and it leaves a hole in the rules for groups that prefer a more simulationist bent. I've tried Storyteller and simply put it doesn't do what I want and can't be made to, it's far too...
