AIM-54, sorry, I realized after I posted that reply that the "you"s in it came off as offensive. I meant them to be nebulous as in "there are DMs that tell me they want less combat but then demean social mechanics," not you personally. My apologies. I also feel we're near the same page on...

What's wrong with complicated? :-P I'll take Unorthidox Druid. How do I get it? Give you my e-mail address?

My argument is that that +10 diplomacy usually comes at the expense of combat ability, and if you've spent that many ranks in it, you're probably gearing your character towards that ability. I rarely see someone who has 10+ ranks in bluff, but who wouldn't be reduced to charred rubble in a...

I posted first on Queen's second thread regarding skill importance before I found this one. To cut in paste here regarding the DM's picture of talk first, roll second: "That aggrivates me no end, and yet I've encountered it often. If I spend the game mechanic's points away from combat and...

That aggrivates me no end, and yet I've encountered it often. If I spend the game mechanic's points away from combat and invest them in social bonuses, I should reap the benefit, and not be crippled for a lack of method-acting prowess. I never see a DM say, "So you want to tumble over the ogre...

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= QUIZ On your travels you run into a wandering Bard, who has 3 bags in front of him. In front of each bag is a turtle. There is a blue shelled turtle, a red shelled turtle, and a turtle whose shell is blue and red. The Bard says...

Thanks for the comments. I tried to leave some elemental spells in (Fireball but not flaming sphere, lightning bolt but not chain lightning, etc.) so that they would still have a few hallmark element related spells, but the majority had been lost from spellbooks as some mages converted to the...

That was the point I'm trying to make. Yeah, powers don't get anywhere near flashy for characters until 5th level or so, but trying not to die for the first four defines your character's personality and connections to me. How bold or cautious are they? What kind of friends outside of the...

Sorry for the trouble. Still a newbie here. Wanted to post a link because the file is pretty big with several chapters and didn't want to make everyone scroll through it just to get the idea. Let me try attaching the handbooks instead, but the map file is too large. In the first part of the...

On a tangent, albeit relevant one, I wanted to discuss the disadvantages of rolling a character up from 3rd-6th level just to start playing with the abilities desired. I understand the tedium of having less than 10 or 20 h.p. and how perilous this is in a conflict, but there is a lot of...

Hello everyone. Relatively new to the boards here. I wanted to run by the forums my take on a four elements based campaign world I've been kicking around for a long time. I'm sure it's been hashed in many fashions before, but I wanted to post my take and get some critiques. My later post has...

Looking for players in Fort Walton Beach Hey. Any gamers in the Florida panhandle, I'm looking for 2-4 more players that can make it out FWB way to be in my horror RPG campaign. I have decent experience as a GM and hope to make the game interesting for everyone, so drop me a line...

Looking for players in FWB Hey. I'm a 24yr old GM in FWB trying to find 2-4 more players for a horror RPG campaign. I've been trying to spread the word as best possible, but not having much luck. If anyone in the area would e-mail me back if interested it would be a big help...
