Thank you for telling me what I'd do. The point is, to argue for your point on what the rules don't cover, you... used as an example, something that the rules do cover. Let's say I want to make a sword. I have ranks in Craft Blacksmith, access to a forge and anvil, and a set of tools. What...

So you're arguing for stuff that's not in the rules, and to defend this, you're using something that is written in the rules to explain something not written the rules. I would absolutely argue that the player doesn't need to know squat about the trap. The Thief, the character, does, but...

It explicitly prohibits the exact thing you're talking about in the rules.

Sure. If that's the only damage he took. But odds are that's not the only damage he took. Odds are he's been hit several times before the final "killing" blow. So maybe he's been arrowed a few times, and then stabbed horribly once or twice, and finally a monk headbutts him into negative...

Ok, that makes a lot more sense. You're basically doing things by RAW, but not telling them what the situation with the dying guy is. I don't like it, but I can understand it. That is NOT what you were suggesting in the first post though.

Let's say Tarl doesn't make his stabilization check. But Frenn makes his healing check. So Frenn has stabilized Tarl. And then Frenn leaves. Does Tarl stay stabilized, or does he get worse when Frenn leaves? And what if someone has no clue about how to do medical stuff? If they don't know...

So I'm confused. On the one hand, you say that the healing player must remain with the injured player for the duration, because it takes a while to provide medical care. On the other hand, you say that he can choose to leave sometime later, after making the check, and help his team, not...

CON or other ability damage would do it as well. Any hypothetical affects that reduce max hit points (vampiric weapons maybe?) should also work, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Ok. So this doesn't mean that stabilizing another player takes a second player out of the fight for the duration? For that matter, what if someone wants to attack the aid giver? Would you give them their full AC, or would they be flatfooted, since they're busy putting pressure on a wound...

Yeah, if you prevent someone from being able to simply stabilize them (especially if you want play by play description from someone who probably doesn't actually have medical training) in one round, you're either letting the enemies get a 2 for 1 on the incapacitation, when I imagine EVERYONE is...

Depending on the money available, you'll probably want an anti-magic zone up and running where the gambling is done, and maybe a Candle of Truth where people cash out if you're using chips, when you ask them if they cheated, or know of anybody who cheated.

I wonder though, if/when you get a rust monster of the appropriate int that it can take class levels, does the other stuff really apply any more? I mean, if it's smart enough to do reasoning, does teaching it tricks by reward and punishment conditioning still viable? Or will it decide to screw...

I'm just saying, if they'll procreate with people, they're already sleeping way outside of their species anyways. So why not, if they see a comely rust monster, or bullette.

Take an animal, make it a half dragon animal, and you've got a creature smart enough to take character classes, and with a breath weapon.

Kidnap women and make them play obnoxious Star Trek characters?

Pretty sure he means things like "Black people get a +1 to strength, but a -1 to intelligence, and Asians get a +1 to intelligence, but a -1 to charisma because of their buck teeth. White people get -1 to athletics because white men can't jump." Actual real life races, like the actual real...

How about, if someone wants to play a character who's stronger, more mechanically oriented, or whatever, because they're a man, you let them put their higher scores into strength, and let them buy up the relevant skills?

There could literally be people on this board that weren't even born when the question was first asked.

I hope so, if only because I want my Tarrasque Paladin to find a home in some campaign.

Pretty sure they're still called class levels even when women take them.
