    LIfe Without Alignment

    I guess I'm the huge exception here, I LOVE the alignment system for D&D and I'm very sad they decided to go this route. To me, it's nice to think somewhere in the multiverse your actions, for good or evil, lawful or chaotic, have an absolute nature to them. We're dealing with world full of...

    Good post Reynard and right on the money.

    Can the Fighter be Real and Equal to spellcasters?

    I think making Fighters and Wizards and every single class exactly as powerful as possible, is a silly and useless idea contrary to the entire point of the game. All the classes shine at doing what they do, I don't see the problem. Fighters are FAR more common in every world, Wizards usually...

    D&D 4E What D&D 4e Should Learn From World of Warcraft

    1. Everyone has special abilities to use in combat. Every class is already unique, and each has their own uses. Every single character having an endless supply of gimicks gets silly and time consuming. I thought Feats did a good job of differentiating characters, but that's 3.x. 2...

    D&D 4E Compiled 4e Skill List?

    There's a huge difference in Hiding and trying to Move Quietly, it's quite possible and likely to be great at one and not the other, I don't see the issue here? Who would have spellcraft but not Knowledge (arcana)?? Anyone who wants to know what spells are being slinged about but isn't into in...

    What Core Class was actually fun to play

    I'm truly amazed, no really. Core classes no fun to play in 3.5 and 3.0? Are you joking? Are you insane? Of course they were fun to play, and as customizable as a DM would allow. You want a Cleric who acts more like a Ranger? Easy to do core rules. You want a Wizard who uses weapons...

    D&D 4E Not going to 4e

    My group has a total of 80+ years of D&D in us, altogether of course. We've moved on to each new D&D with enthusiam, and we've played the hell out of them..... until now. Not one of us is interested in 4E, not one... which surprises me. We're a pretty out there bunch, but universally we don't...

    D&D 4E What would make you decide against 4e?

    I don't like anything I've seen of 4th Edition. I've been playing D&D since the Blue cover days, and this just doesn't feel like D&D anymore. D&D has always been quirky and somewhat weird as a rules system, but that's always how it's been. With the new rules I've read it's more like an...

    RANT: Disproportionate Women (may be offensive)

    I thought this was a joke thread, then I realized it still was. Are you serious? you want smaller boobs on your warrior woman art? Why? When do realism and fantasy art mix? How about we force all the folks to do a realistic midevil warrior woman. She's 5'10" about 230 lbs. She's hairy...

    Businesses saying keep the rowdy children at home.

    I am actually shocked from reading this thread. The initial post made sense, the man who posted the sign was not only in the right, but would have my business in a heartbeat, it's the defending the "Stupid People" that blew me away. If your kid is misbehaving in a place where people are...

    Please Rate this Fighter Variant!

    Thanks for the ideas everyone. The voting part shows that people either think it is overpowered??? :confused: or they posted what they thought. I'd love to hear why it's overpowered.

    Please Rate this Fighter Variant!

    I will probably go with 4 points per level and add in "You cannot gain proficiency with Heavy Armor or Martial Two-Handed Weapons". I want to explore Variant classes and multiclassing and completely do away with Prestige classes in my campaign.

    Please Rate this Fighter Variant!

    Wilderness Warrior: Variant Fighter Not all with an affinity for the outdoors are mystical rangers nor raging barbarians. Some are simply warriors who learn how to survive the wilds and prosper within them. Learning to survive in the wilds does take time away from other tasks a Fighter...

    Help! Most boring 3.5 campaign yet!

    You were born in this minimum wage / part-time Hell hole? Sorry. I live here because I love my wife, who just wont leave. I notice you don't live here now... must be because you wanted to make a decent living and have a real life. I envy you.

    Help! Most boring 3.5 campaign yet!

    Thanks everyone, here's a smidge more of backstory. He's my best bud, he's very immature for his age, he's very angry at the world. I'm playing this one-on-one because he cannot handle group games in the long term, really. He needs personal attention only, because he is very selfish. I like...

    Help! Most boring 3.5 campaign yet!

    I fear any "Kicking him out" or "Burning him out" type twists will just make him look for a new home. Interacting with local folks just cannot be forced on him, he just packs up and runs. I do have one element I forgot to add, his mother is a Ranger who lives not too far away and therefore...

    Help! Most boring 3.5 campaign yet!

    Ok, I have a player who is a loner, cynic is real life whose main dream was to run off in the forest and never deal with society again. Enter the PC's character... a Ranger Neutral loner, cynic whose main goal is to stay in a small section of a realtively peaceful forest and have nothing to do...

    How wide is a "line", i.e. Lightning Bolt?

    Could I agree more? NO! This is so on the money. Affects a line indeed!

    D&D 3E/3.5 Savage Species and 3.5 aren't totally compatible.

    3.5 is not backwards compatible with most everything 3.0 why should S.S. be any different?
