The chance of failure is what makes reckless actions so fun. If the chance of success outweighs the chance of failure then it's hardly reckless then is it? No, theres still the chance for failure, but I guarantee the reward of success will seem sweeter to the fighter, who problably had...

One last thing, I'm proud to say that I've been performing reckless stunts as long as I've been playing, granted I DM more than play now, but you can bet when I do I'm going to do something the DM thinks is stupid until I actually pull it off. The same campaign as above (3.5 Darksun conversion...

See, I would find those same actions much cooler in D&D because of how difficult they are to pull off, as opposed to the relative simplicity of the action. I don't want to be rewarded for saying I am going to do something, I want to be rewarded for actually accomplishing the action. That being...

I never liked the 3.5 rules, I liked how sizes worked with various rules like disarming and such. And with an actual size instead of handedness and what creature the weapon was meant for, you knew who could use what with out having to figure it out. There were problems with 3.0, but they...

I say PR stunt because it did what it was meant to do, It turned the Souths european allies against them. This cost them dearly since all Industry was in the North, and the were counting on European aid too offset their lack of industry. By the way I didn't say it wasn't brave, I only said he...

Theirs also doing what needs to be done, and then theres going too far. Grant was ruthless in his march across the south, especially when his actions were primarly conducted against civilians, not civilians harboring military troops, just civilians. His actions led to similiar tactics being...

Greatest American uhh. So do you pick the person who has had the biggest impact on American History, or do you pick someone who best exemplifies the qualities of America. There is alot of Historic and Iconic americans on that list, some I like more than others. History is written by the...

Yeah, but other reach weapons don't trheaten the squares adjacent to the user as well. If anything is broken with WWA it would be it's use with a spiked chain, no other weapon gives a threaten space that large. Personally, I've always hated the spike chain, simply the most broken weapon in...

Yeah, Thats one of my major complaints, Items mean alot in D&D. I was already tinkering with an idea to trade in wealth for training to gain skills, feats, or other abilities. The problem is item's are not permanent abilities, and are by their nature magical with all the penalties therein...

Personally, I'd love to see Shadow Run d20, and Steve Kenson would be my pick to do it. Mutants and Masterminds is already half way there. Being classless and without hit points. A few tweaks here and there and it would work great. Make spells and weapon proficiencies into individual...

I am also of the same opinion to keep Rokugan a world unto itself. The lands to the north are Mongol types, the islands to the east (off the maps) are a "true" Chinese feel. No European Gaijin types to be found anywhere. Thats not exactly right. Alhundro Cornejo Gaijin Explosives Master...

Quote: Under the scheme I propose, the Abilities really are: Physical Power Physical Finesse Physical Resistance Mental Power Mental Finesse Mental Resistance Funny, but isn't this what the system already reflects. Strength is physical power Dexterity is physical skill (finesse) Constitution...

I'm curious how many books the people who got asked to join own. My wife and I both answered the survey, she was asked to join and a whole lot of other question, but since she considers the majority of the books mine she didn't list them. Makes me wonder if they only asked people to join who...

In my campaign the old crystal spheres of Spelljammer where destroyed creating our normal Outer space. Some ships, survived by while in port while those on the Rock where transported to the deep ethreal right before the final destruction when the Spelljammer mysteriously appeared in the rocks...

Hollow, with a molten magma layer sandwiched in between the two "Surfaces". The Hollow portion is a mix with one portion being more technologicaly advanced, while the other portions are more primitive. The techno part is where I will put any thing I want to use from eberron or iron kingdoms...

Whoops

Undead Warforged {Originally Posted by Hand of Evil Can a Warforged become undead? Warforged are constructs, not humanoids. As a result, by the rules, they cannot become vampires or liches. I'd rule out skeletons because the effects of the skeleton template don't make sense with the...

<<Heh the problems stems from the fact that a lot of gamers have very poor social skills, and those skills only get worse around females.>> Way too true. I was going to type a really long post about my history with sexist behavior from gamers. But It would have been really long. I'm a guy...

3.5 Rangers Quick question to all those people who have rangers that do really well in your campaigns, how many use the Archery path instead of the two weapon path, and how many of those who actually take the two weapon path are actually using two weapons (ie not a weapon and shield combo)...

Hp Rpg I started out the same way you did. My son wanted to play D&D, and Harry Potter seemed like a good choice, I tried at first to just use the Normal D&D rules, but the flavor didn't match. However, I found that Mutants and Masterminds from Green Ronin worked very well. It's class less...
