As the player of Kazrack all I can do is give a sigh of resignation over this perception of his actions.

Too funny "The man smiled and Ratchis smiled back, and then the man leaned over and puked up huge chunks of the spicy sausage covered in a greasy yellow sauce. “Cheers!” Ratchis cried with a smile and raised his cup, going over to his spot away from the crowd, but feeling better about it." I...

Re: Re: Re: Kazrack's vow As it has turned out Martin has saved Kazrack's but a few times now - at times in a very hands on fashion as compared to casting from a distance. I don't know how many others have noticed or cared but Martin's player has done some of my favorite rping in the group...

Re: Kazrack's vow A number of factors went into the decision: 1) While the players are aware that we are rolling dice the characters are not and should react appropriately to the bad results of dice rolling. 2) To many Medievil cultures - especially non-christian- the concept of luck...

As a player in Nemm's game I think his emphasis on staying in character during combat is the single most effective way he maintains tension and realism. Even groups trained to fight together will find combat a chaotic experience and our group is in no way a well oiled machine created with group...

Hey, I think this is my favorite installment for describing death (or supposed to be deaths in the case of the psuedo-gnolls). I think my favorite was, "bent over double as if laughing but instead spitting up black blood".

Just wanted to say I think Dawn hit the nail on the head here. Many DMs can come up with challanging encounters and many can randomly beat up on their players but few have the stamina and attention to detail needed to make the punishment seem part of something larger and thus meaningful. What...

Keep in mind that we play only every other week so much more time has passed in the real world than for our characters. Not enough game time has gone by for anyone to feel like we aren't accomplishing anything - we're only getting started. Another thing to consider is that we aren't really...

Re: Sundering and Disarming A point to consider is that attacking another's weapon wasn't noted as a viable option for anyone - includeing famous warriors who wouldn't be "average joe's". I vaguely recall reading somewhere that a man well versed in the use of a quaterstaff could break poorly...

My interest in a grappling character is what got me thinking about this subject. I will be playing one soon and wanted to work out something I thought was fair.

Isn't part of the problem how easy it is to destroy some weapons? If I remember correctly a long sword has DR5 and 10 hp? Only 15 hp to take out a weapon? I prefer my games to be as true to life as possible and requiring only 15 hp to take out a sword suggests it would have been done a lot -...

The monk only does a D6 at low levels. Improved trip gives a free attack but requires a straight up str oppossed role to get it - negating any advantage born or BAB. Futhermore, tripping a spellcaster isn't anymore effective than simply hitting them for damage whereas grappling them is much...

Grappling by itself isn't overpowered - the feats in OA and any feat that completely by passes the AOO that could block a grapple are what are, or would be, overpowered. The monk being able to start a grapple by simply making a touch attack w/o the possibility of it being blocked by an AOO is a...

After giving it some thought and reading what you all have written here I've come to the opinion that: A. Grappling is a very powerfull combat option as it limits one's opponent to small weapons and spells without a somatic component. B. As a result of A, above, no feat should automatically...

If the AOO is from making a touch attack that would suggest that Improved unarmed strike would negate it making the Improved Grapple feat in OA unneeded - yes? Follow up question - given that grappleing limits your opponet to useing small weapons aren't the feats given in OA a little too powerfull?

Does improved unarm strike work with grapple attacks? One of those things that seems like it would make sense but it isn't said directly so I thought I would ask for other's opinions.

At least one player reacted as you seem to think they should have and the rest had either religious or alignment issues for accepting the Druids as they are. Even if one assumes the druids are evil (depends on how one defines nuetral) there is nothing to say that another druid circle isn't...

Which Thief type skills can one take 20 with? I'm pretty sure you can with Open Locks and Search (assuming no one is trying to stick you with something pointy) but how about disable device and the others?

Where is everybody? Is no one replying because I gave too few details?

Re: OUCH! Jesus, one of the player's at the time intimated this as well. While certain out of game things have me enjoying him less I am by no means tired of playing him. I was simply roleplaying a character who is not afraid to die and views life given saving others as a virtual guarantee...
