I went with gain an unfair advantage, because this is what anyone, ANYONE, that has ever been in combat tries to do. Pirates had to fight all the time, because not everyone would just roll over and give them their cargo. This makes them veterans. If you are in a life and death fight, whether...

Giants It's not like the slaves can use the large/huge weapons, and even without weps, the giants would make short work of a revolt.

I don't ask for wish lists per se, but I do try to find out what PC's have for goals and what they want to accumulate, find, create or buy. If what they want is reasonable, I will generally make it available through one means or another. Rarely though will I have it just pop up in a...

This actually happened in an LG game... We walk into a room full of demons, and one PC interrupts the bad guy's final speech and says, "Well boys, today we are handing out your choice of ass whuppings or cupcakes, but unfortuneately for you, we had a run on the cupcakes earlier." We actually...

Sorry to hear you don't like 3.5, I actually like it a little better than 2nd ed., although they are both very close in what I like. Since neither is supported, might as well play the one you like, personally I still play both. I wouldn't worry about clones, or other games that are trying to...

Ok, so first level, play by post game... Thanks

Hey there, looks like a fun game. I have some questions though... What level will you be starting at? Do you go by level or by experience points? For example, a rogue would be higher level than a fighter if they had the same xp. Do you have level limits for other races? What day will...

** Climbs up onto soapbox ** Now that WotC has dumbed the game down, it is only a matter of time before D&D is a video game. The sad thing is, it won't even be as good as WoW. What makes RPGs more fun for me, over video games, is the creativity and customization the DM puts into the game...

I don't mind dying as a PC as long as we had our chance to win. If the dice go sour, or we have bad tactics and we lose, that is fine, I can live with that. What I think really sucks pond water, is when the DM doesn't have a clue how to generate encounters and makes something that is way over...

I would buy the mechanoids trilogy and the mechanoids sourcebooks that Palladium put out and use that as a basis of comparing SDC to MDC. I was going to do a mechanoids game a year or so ago, where a D&D world was invaded by the mechanoids. Most of it can be ported over very easily. They are...

hmm, I don't think I could do a shy, non threatening barbarian... but, if you wanted a light armor, in your face, spit on you when you are dead barbarian, I would go with the following : DWARF BARBARIAN !!! 10th level character so 2 ability score bumps gives you: if you are 12th, put the...

I sold my friend's books on EBay for him when he switched to 4.0. 15 books sold for $150, with shipping, so it was a great deal for someone. You might try there first if you have a credit card, otherwise, I would look locally on Craig's list.

best way to avoid a laser? Hmm, as with most weapons, the best way to avoid them is to be on the giving end, not the receiving end... :)

Can a rogue/mage attack with an orb as a sneak attack in PF? I always thought they could in 3.5, assuming the opponent was flat footed and they were within 30', but in PF under arcane trickster, it says you have to be a 10th level AT to do that? Is this a change to PF, or did I miss...

:) I think 4.0's sweet spot is -0.5 :) I tried 4.0, but decided to stick to 3.5 because I couldn't find any of it that was "sweet". Not trying to start a battle of versions, but I really do like mid to high level 3.5, it seems like once you get a character to those levels, it is very fun...

I like to start with either a blank sheet of paper or a word file. Then I try to define what the conflict is, for writing, conflict is what creates the drama. So I will either put down a situation, queen is jealous of the king's attentions to someone else, or the big bad guy is looking to take...

I would start with the gods, who are they, where did they come from, why did they create the world, the dimensions, mortals, etc. Answer these questions well and you will have your foundation. Next create a little corner of the world you want your PCs to be from, don't give them the option of...

It sounds like your players care more about their characters than the mission at hand. I really like that ! Seriously though, maybe if they are supposed to die to save the world, or fight to the death for the world, then they should have premade characters that are given them that they have...

For overall worlds, I love Dark Sun 2nd edition, and Greyhawk, 1st and 3.5 edition. Dark Sun is harsh, cruel and brutal: just my kind of place :). It was also the only setting I was even willing to consider using psionics in, since they actually fit there. Greyhawk was my first world, so I...

Sounds like something I would definitely avoid doing. We tell players, NEVER, EVER split the party, and then you would be forcing them to split the party. Just evil man :) I think it is bad enough when a PC gets hit with a confusion or charm and they have to fight for the monsters for one...
