Depends on how it's used. The times I've used it, only important NPCs use them on crits due to the fact that it can be a lot more likely for any old mook to crit and behead a PC than the other way around.

;) The set in stone is the everything is absolute, nothing can be sullied or adjusted once the game has officially begun, calling it on the fly is absolutely despicable-types. If the players are interested in carving a path outside the established options presented? Sorry, but, I tend to...

So in the event I have an upcoming difficult battle for a party, and one player has to leave in an emergency just beforehand, and everyone wants to keep going, I should simply keep it as is and slaughter them like animals? Not totally sure how the player's creative solution would work? Don't...

Yes. I’m primarily a storyteller-type player and GM, and I prefer to refer to books for what to do as little as possible. I won’t deal with rules debates mid-game unless there are serious consequences because I hate ruining the flow of the game. I’ll stick with the rules as best as possible...

I’m a homebrew puritan. World-building is just more fun than using other people’s worlds, but that’s me. And I can never get into other people’s characters, and tweak most of the bestiary monsters. It also helps with making things more off the cuff, published material might require me to look...

This is one reason, I don’t like doing anything over E6. Everything being superpowered and requiring tons of effort to prepare and it amounts to nothing, but even at low levels what’s supposed to be a major battle can be run over in a round. The golden rule for running an epic battle is to...

12, 16, 12, 13, hooray consistent averageness. “The Red Glaive” Skalis Vordahl is ready to be shackled and paraded through the streets before being thrown in Branderscar Prison to await his execution for the heinous crime of murdering his commanding officer. I’d imagine a disgraced traitor...

Definite interest. Keeping an evil character interesting for a long duration sounds like a fun challenge. I’m thinking a fighter. A cold, cruel military officer turned traitor, despising the perceived weakness of the people of Talingarde. While not the type to simply raze a village because it...

Mint and berry, yet with a tasty, satisfying crunch. I don’t have a personal preference; really it just depends on whether or not the story was good. I do think you get better stories with normal humans and super-powered characters, simply because the ultra-powered characters don’t have that...

Congratulations! And take your time, I'm about to be missing for Christmas traveling anyway.

I speak very low to Charity while pointing at the stairs, "I figured it would be easier to take the stairs rather than stumble around in the fog for a few minutes. I also thought it would be nice to have the element of surprise should we need it, but, maybe Corbin would like some bells to...

Orina: While much of the campaigning has been done in a fairly standard fantasy setting, what I think makes this world special is that it’s developed for play across multiple eras. So, there is no true static Orina, and it has seen campaigns and adventures across its history, and it’s been...

No, going right, if anything's in there, I expect the others will attract their attention so I can get the drop on them. Do I need to roll a new stealth roll, or is the one I used as we came in the granary still active?

The Navigator looks into the fog, then back towards bodies and the entrance. He lets out a muted sigh before switching to the short sword, and stepping quietly into the fog. Attempting to stay along the wall to the right of the door.

I've only played in Homebrew settings, but read up on quite a few of the major settings. I like the concept behind Dark Sun a lot, but I'm partial to low powered games. Two favorites NPCs: Artegal, Cleric of St. Cuthbert, bringer of divine justice. I don't recall if I ever used a Healing spell...

Airwalkrr's suggestion works for me. Still trying to keep quiet in case I need to use the fog for cover. And to give a head's up, I may not be very active for the Thanksgiving weekend.

If no one else is taking them, I lift the bolts from the other two guards, grabbing a short sword as well, not knowing what we are facing in there. And I'll be hanging behind the well-armored folks or well-armored individual. ;)

Moving as quietly as possible, The Navigator takes a moment to look over the body nearest to him. Wondering what could have done this, he kneels down and collects that guard’s bolts, feeling he may need to be more prepared. He looks to see if the guard had managed to fight back, hoping to find...

“I did not see anything suspicious about, but if the city is in danger, I would be obliged to offer my aid in the matter. Call me Gavin.” The Navigator does a slight half bow before noticing the other two making their way toward the granary. He draws and loads his crossbow. “It would appear your...

Perception (1d20+6=13) Perception check if I might has noticed anything that might seem suspicious in hindsight, as I would have actively been observing the area.
