I picked Thri-Kreen, Mul, and Winged Folk. Thri-Kreen because an insect race simply has no place in my world, and I don't imagine they would have thought processes that even begin to resemble our own. Mul because I dislike the idea of a half-human/half-dwarf somehow being TALLER than the...

Not sure I'd ever let it fly in combat, even if that is part of the rules, as at our table you see if you hit and approximately how hard before either I, as DM, or the player describes the blow. However, I already do this in roleplaying situations, though it is usually an invisible lowering of...

I really loved DMing from the Trilogy when my group still played 4e, so that is what I voted. The simplicity of handing a person a PHB and saying "Experienced Player X help New Player Y make their character" while still being in possession of the book with all the monsters and campaign rules was...

I wish I could have half this playtime. I started playing less than 2.5 years ago and have not found a group that could stay stable for that time. Originally I played with a guy I met in my Biology class and his group, and then he quit DMing so another guy took over doing SWSE instead of 4e, and...

Ok, I understand my misunderstanding now. I'll see how it goes next session with that understanding. Thanks everyone.

I originally envisioned #1 because a player looked at the rogue BtH and didn't want to play a class that wasn't really useful in combat, even with a ranged weapon. It wasn't a bookkeeping thing so much as an attempt to allow everyone to keep the same feel of "Hey I'm pretty good in combat, maybe...

@ Whizbang I was kinda worried about that myself, but was also worried about the kind of bonuses a rogue could get on their class skills while the rest of the party was several levels down. My solution was the elimination of BtH, figuring that by buffing a Rogue's combat capabilities I would...

I just came to the part that made me realize you were right about #1. It would give a cleric whose god had a nice favored weapon way too much power. I still feel that some of the BtH progressions are a bit low, but I can adjust those as needed.

I was able to get my hands on the C&C Rule Book, 2nd Printing and have ran one small adventure using rules as written and I've had the following ideas for house rules to the system off the bat, and I was wondering if anyone else has done something similar and whether it worked or not. 1)...

I voted for Action Points, Critical Hits, Feats, Healing Surges, Kits, Magic Missiles Never Miss, Non-vancian magic, Prestige Classes, Skills, and Weapon Versus Armor Table. Action Points: I like a player being able to somewhat negate the randomness a d20 institutes when they feel an important...

For what its worth, I have never had a player play an assassin at my table except the 4th edition one, and though I thought how the class worked was cool, it always struck me that if a person was able to do what the assassin could (even from level 1) then they should be far more powerful than...

When I'm not overhalling a system to do things it wasn't designed for, which I'm not at the moment, I'd say about an hour or two a day until you factor in weekend sessions, so I put myself in the 2-4 range. I have in the past, and probably will again, go into the 4-6 or 6+ range.

I ran a d20 Future game, space opera style, for almost a year until the small faults in the system had accrued enough to make it nigh unplayable without me doing a complete system overhall :( But before that point the players had went from a small group escaping their corporate owned world...

So, I just started a World of Darkness campaign, and it is my first time playing the game. We've started out as just normal people who don't have any idea of anything beyond normal people existing, and the Storyteller has expressed that even though we will deal with the supernatural, we more...

Just to put it in here, my reasons for picking a bard in the first place go as follows: The bard would be a storyteller (Oratory) that after the parties first few adventures would ask to join up in order to capture their tale. From that point though he would help out on his own he would mostly...

Its not looks, its voice for me more than anything. My players ham it up a bit, deepening or raising their voices to more closely fit their character's size and persona. But at the end of the day most males CAN'T sound like a female and most females CAN'T sound like a male. I can substitute...

A quick glance into a fantasy book shows that they aren't really portrayed as such. Characters like Drizzt Do'urden and Bruenor Battlehammer wouldn't be well loved if we couldn't identify with them. Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, etc. are all just human in personality with certain aspects of their...

Lol, its just how my imagination works I guess, though I admit I've never had a person play something that wasn't human or demi human.

Um.....really? Could you explain more please? I haven't allowed cross-gender role play because I know seeing my friend with a beard playing a female pc, or my friend that is a girl playing a male pc would constantly break my personal immersion. When I have to cross gender as a DM I can see that...

In my senior year of high school I discovered dnd via Baldur's Gate which I decided to play after playing every other Bioware game at the time (except for NWN). This was 2008. I then was stoked on the rules of the game, looked it up online and found the 4e character builder. Me and some friends...
