I always thought that all classes should be able to use all weapons without penalty, essentially using them in a very basic and rudimentary fashion. Each class would however have some weapons they they are considered proficient with which gives them a bonus to hit and damage. Clerics - Blunt...

Walking around a city or town in full armor with weapons never raises anyone suspicion or curiosity. A couple goblins can kill a farmer with enough determination, so farmers ask you to kill them. A single cat can kill the same farmer with one full attack yet peasants are happy to keep them...

What I always felt was missing was the robe wearing holy symbol carrying cleric. The one who doesn't need a weapon or armor to fight evil. He has divine favor and the power of his god, which is all he needs. If I'm a cleric of a war god I should have my armor, shield, and sword. All used to...

It's very possible they could make the game appeal to players of all additions. They can create a core rule set which can have options and those options can be expanded upon. I can see several Unearthed Arcana books coming out which can expand on the various flavors of play. This along with...

I'm going to do what I did for the last two editions. I'm going to hope for the best and see what the game looks like when its done. I heard all the rumors about 3E when it was being developed and thought it would be a good game. So I took a look at the books when they came out and ended up...

I like the explanation I read in one of my rpgs role playing games are lets pretend with rules so you don't get into arguments over whether you where shot or not. Sent from tapatalk

I like the inception concept for Illusion but I would take it one step further. The Illusion McGuffin that they recover at the core of the illusion isn't real. In fact the real Illusion artifact is part of a previously recovered artifact for another school. Why? Because Illusionists are evil...

The characters in novels; Conan, James Bond, etc. don't know they can't die. Conan has run away from many encounters because he didn't want to die. James Bond was no different. James Bond wouldn't have bluffed Goldfinger if he knew he couldn't die, he was trying hard not to. While the fiction...

Maybe the aliens alerted the German Abwehr to the existence of Dusan Popov in late 1943. Dusan Popov was one of the most successful double agents in WWII. He found out about the Japanese interest in Pearl Hardor before the attack. He was also instrumental in the deception of German intelligence...

I do have to admit I've watched it once our twice and in spite of it being a kids show it did tickle my gaming funny bone. It reminds me of some of the weird stuff that can pop up in a D&D game. Sent from tapatalk

I found this page It might be helpful. But it looks like someone forgot the 6 named Balors rule somewhere along the way to making splatbooks. D&D Named Demon Project - d20 NPC Wiki: GM's source of stat blocks for several d20 systems

Yeah this sounds like what they're planning. In truth that's the D&D I have been hoping for since 2nd edition. I wanted a D&D that was more a generic Fantasy RPG rather than a set type of rules system which takes a lot of modding to play outside some assumed genre range. 3E went that way sorta...

Well hopefully the alignment system will have rules for omitting, modifying, or leaving the alignment system. Alignment should be a campaign option not an absolute. Sent from tapatalk

I always preferred the rules cyclopedia version of alignment. Lawful for those who have some code of honor and chaotic for those who generally don't. God and evil was used to detect if people had helpful harmful our neutral intent to word the players. Out always made more sense t to me then...

Well it should work like that but with the variety of different players I'd still have a good excuse handy, just in case. Sent from tapatalk

Well the half orc restriction could be because there are no orcs in the GMs world. It could be because, ala palladium, orcs aren't genetically compatible with humans(which might also exclude half elves to). For some they just don't like the stats our the flavor text. I've found that most of the...

I've always worried about restricting content myself. On one hand I want them to think creatively and come up with new ideas but on the other hand I don't want to have things that don't jive with the setting and game balance. I am reluctant to include things that are in sourcebooks I don't have...

I like the idea of a new cartoon series maybe on CN. Sports like the D&D cartoon from when I was a kid. Except more D&D ish and less lame. Sent from tapatalk

Rifts was playtested by professionals and it requires alot of GM scrutiny to maintain party and encounter balance. Sent from tapatalk

I've played in games that have used mapping, it's an old school gaming convention so it's not a big deal for me. I've also played in games that used battle mats for exploration and combat. I actually don't mind mapping dungeons and environments but I dislike battle mats unless the combat has...
