    So what do demons do all day

    Honestly I'd imagine them killing each other. Have you developed a reason they can't?

    I'm sick of symmetries

    As mentioned on my first post, Water -> Ice makes sense on the following levels: 1) Water the element opposes Fire the element. Fire/Heat the energy can easily be seen as opposing Ice/Cold. When you add Fire energy, the amount of "coldness" is reduced. When you add Cold energy (assuming...

    I'm sick of symmetries

    Honestly this seems the most likely possibility to me. This seems one of the symmetries imposed by the designers meta-game rather than their being a decent connection. The references you mention of acids dissolving metals proves my point. Metals are one of the strongest examples of a gift...

    WotC's D&D bumperstickers

    I'll admit I didn't make it, but I always liked: "Chaotic Evil means never having to say you're sorry."

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Well, I will have clerics, and they can turn/rebuke elementals, but by the time the character gets Earth Self, he's already 20HD, so you'd need an epic cleric to even effect him, so I really don't have a problem with that. As for the other abilities being weaker, it isn't by intention, but...

    I'm sick of symmetries

    Well, part of the reason I'm asking is I'm developing a 4 Element oriented campaign world, and the clerics are by their nature elemental savants. All the fire spells (arcane or divine) are put on the fire cleric's spell list, all of the cold spells are put on the water list, etc. When I get to...

    Utility of a Charisma to Alignment correlation?

    Well, what I intended is that chaos implies change, and with a high CHA score you utilize changes in dialogue rapidly to your advantage. If you have a low CHA, the changes in a discussion come faster than you can use to your advantage, you speak before you think and aggrivate people with your...

    Utility of a Charisma to Alignment correlation?

    *bump* Is this just so common sense for everyone else that no one wants to comment? I personally think the linking of the two gives more meaning to each. Alignment is argued by many to not have enough mechanical significance and CHA is so nebulous it's hard to pin down what it really means...

    I'm sick of symmetries

    I was considering making my own thread to ask the following question, but as long as this one exists, I'll post it here. In every DnD supplement regarding elements, they make the following associations: Fire element -> Fire energy, Air Element -> Electrical energy, Water element -> Cold...

    Game of Thrones RPG Deluxe Limited Edition

    Well, I guess I meant less the actual ruleset's mechanics and more the overall setting. I.e. how has developing plot material gone, have you been able to generate good storylines away from the novels, how well do the mechanics support the flavor, etc. etc. Just wanted a feel for the game in...

    Specific effects of hiding?

    Thanks everyone. I had a feeling it was along these lines, but wanted to confirm it. So, providing a character with camouflage & HiPS has sufficient ranks in the hide skill to overcome the penalties, and/or his opponent has really poor Spot rolls, the character can fight as invisible...

    Thanks. Will check those player's opinions out when I get a chance.

    Specific effects of hiding?

    Yeah, that's why I was asking. The hide skill nor the combat section of the SRD mentions anything about what happens after your contested Hide v. Spot roll succeeds. I know this is important for determining awareness at the start of combat, but once it starts, what then?

    Specific effects of hiding?

    Hey. I still have some confusion as to what exactly hide provides after the surprise round has passed. For example the ranger with camo and HiPS can make a hide check as they move in combat in natural terrain because they don't need concealment and it doesn't matter if they're observed. So...

    Game of Thrones RPG Deluxe Limited Edition

    I just got Feast for Crows on the 9th and saw the RPG in my FLGS (I believe it was the $50 OGL version). I love everything about the Song of Ice and Fire series, and am considering getting the RPG. Has anyone played campaigns with these rules? Any reccomendations or other comments from actual...

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    OK, see the first post for my new, completed revision. I fleshed out the class progression completely. Here's what I decided: 1) The bonus feats at first level are either Imp Sunder or Grapple. At 2nd level they're Deflect Arrows or Imp Trip. Depending on what you picked at 1st, you get...

    Air elemental ranger variant - advice?

    So, as I was working on the Earth monk, I realized two things: a) Air is the fastest element, but I don't picture them really hiding much with camouflage or HiPS b) Earth is slow and deliberate, but blending in with their environment is a good tactic for the monks to ambush. So the epiphany...
