    Define "___-edition feel"?

    Check out what you've just proven: It takes another living player to make a video game less confined by its programming. At the same time, regardless of being single player or multi-player, all video games are confined by the dictates of the programming, the environment produced by that...

    Agreed, agreed, and agreed.

    Define "___-edition feel"?

    No, you're just hardcore.:p And you don't use words like "dumb", "stupid", or "fools" to state your opinion or belittle those who don't share it.

    Actually, I have read his earlier posts and you better take his word for it, folks. He'll just keep telling you its true until you give up, after which time he'll claim this his opinion has held.

    Balance... does it really matter that much to you?

    This... This... This just brings a tear to my eye. A shame you live on the other side of the state... >sniff<

    Rerolling stats...cause they're too darn good!

    Alright, see, you seem a tad confused. All anyone has said is that if you are going to use dice, than it is inevitable that some times you get low stats across the board and that some times you get high stats across the board. And, as a result, you will get characters that are naturally more...

    Khopesh

    That be it.

    Rogue or Monk?

    A common recurring discussion with 2 out of 3 new members to our group over the years: Newbie: What's the party need? Me: Another member would be nice. Newbie: Yeah, but what do they need? Me: [Deliver 3 seconds of cold stare] Another member would be nice. (If the guy's bright, it...

    Rerolling stats...cause they're too darn good!

    Wow... All that and the only part relevant to the topic is that you don't do point by.

    Balance... does it really matter that much to you?

    What Diaglo said... I've run several games where the PCs were not equal in a numeric sense (the highest and lowest level PCs had a difference of 8 levels in one), but each was capable of contributing to the over-all game. When a group is focused more on one or two aspects of the game, then...

    DMs: Do you let your players do over the top things?

    To be entertained by it, yes, you are correct. To avoid putting on my "designer's cap", however, there is a limit... And I crossed it yesterday. (As I hadn't seen it in nearly a decade, I didn't catch the warning signs...)

    Khopesh

    The use of the Khopesh as a weapon was more akin to a chopping action rather than fanciful swordplay. I use 1d6 20/x3, 5lb, slashing (same as a Handaxe) with a Noble's Khopesh being 2d4 20/x3, 7lb, slashing (as a Battleaxe with a slightly higher average). No special features for either.

    Wookie Barbarian

    You've obviously never seen the Star Wars Christmas Special which featured the Empire using Chewie's family as bait in a trap for Luke & company. Shame shame...:] Edit: BTW, is that special part of this "Continuity" deal? Does it qualify as Canon? Or does Lucas, like 99% of the rest of the...

    Rerolling stats...cause they're too darn good!

    Hey, I'm a work-at-home father of three who's wife has a day job... I'm allowed an oops or two.:)

    How would you introduce a new plot thread?

    Another Possibility: A neighboring Duke's spies report the abduction. In an effort to forge a lasting peace, this Duke recruits the PCs to rescue the daughter and return her to her father in the name of the Dukedome, accepting no reward for her return (rather, the employing Duke will pay the...

    How would you introduce a new plot thread?

    I must concur with the previous replies; Specifics regarding the situation, the campaign, and the party would dictate the whens, wheres and hows.

    DMs: Do you let your players do over the top things?

    Actually, it was more the unclarity of the initial post; It starts with the dwarf on the second floor jumping from a window, and then moves on to other characters jumping from a window without specifying that the Tiefling (or anyone else) is only on the 1st floor, which Galeros states in his...

    Rerolling stats...cause they're too darn good!

    I think you're missing half the point. When your stats are all high, this has the potential of putting your character above the other PCs (unless, of course, they are similarly endowed). At lower levels, the modifiers make you better overall, and thus can be a problem unless the PCs are...
