“W-w-what do you mean?” Valdarius asks, incredulous, as he tries to fathom the situation. He stands for a moment, caught between the pursuit of the barbarian and the elven wizard who is now walking in the other direction. “Talk with him. How did you talk with him?” OOC: Sorry Trouvere. I...

Eleria remains quiet during the dialogue between Thaddeus and Darque, listening very carefully to the interchange between them in an attemt to determine their intentions. She glances at the newcomer [Alvar Thorne] from the corner of her eye, though dismisses all interest when Darque and his...

Hearing Taelythenihel's outburst, Valdaris pauses momentarily, though never takes his eye from the fleeting barbarian. He looks at her intently and questions. "What do you mean!"

With the man now pulling away from them, and not exactly sure why he’s now sprinting down the street, Valdaris starts to have second thoughts about the whole affair. What the hell am I doing out here anyway? Still, since there is nothing in the inn to go back to, he allows his curiosity to get...

You could use FORT Save. That wouldn't max out until at least L16 and makes complete sense. That is, a character is disabled from 0 to -[FORT Save] HP and unconscious thereafter. Characters with a FORT Save of 10+ just keep kickin' no matter what. Also need to consider what effect that would...

I don't wanna hijack Tequila's thread, though it might be a good idea to keep a lookout for a decent CP2020 game in future. Not too many 'round. The reason I like CP2020 as oppose to Shadowrun or D20 Modern is because of it's grim and gritty realism and lethal combat, without the massive...

“Thankyou, good sir. I seek only to please.” She says with a certain allure. “I hope that your esteemed master finds me a suitable candidate for the task at hand… for I shall be only too happy to accompany this gentleman [Xir] here and whomever else you deep appropriate.” OOC: Mistress...

“If it is adventurers you seek then you have come to the right place, good sir!” Eleria calls across the tavern. Her lute in hand, she confidently steps off the bar stool and saunters over towards the man who seems to have only recently regained his composure. She smiles radiantly before...

Eleria listents to the interchange between Taelythenihel and Quozen and is about to lift her instrument again to play another song when the interruption occurs. Instead, sits quietly stunned as the group of people rush from the tavern. Whatever had caused the commotion was sure attracting a...

Already outside the inn on the street, Valdaris draws his sword and quickly sets off in pursuit.

It sounds like your DM has a few favoured concepts that he’s trying to use as the basis of the game without due regard to the balanced mechanics (which have been thoroughly playtested). The result is advantageous to melee characters because he is taking the focus from RP and making it into more...

That would definitely close the gap with casters and might just be worth considering. How do you justify the extra damage on ranged attacks though? Better accuracy?

You're a CP2020 player too. Haha! That's what I based my comments on above ^. Because CP2020 is skill-based and not level-based, it is a much more lethal system. Though there are still many elements that could easily be adopted to add to the realism of the typical D&D game. However, there's...

I've also toyed with the idea of injury progression before. Global appeal and simplicity are some of D&Ds great strengths, though it would be great to intro just a little more realism sometimes. You just have to be careful that you don't over-step the line between realism and making a game...

Nope. I like that too. There should be very few clear decisions and a very real risk of loss to get the adrenalin really pumping. Keep in mind that a character isn't dead until they are -10 DEAD; they are just rendered unconscious. That's quite a bit of damage for a EL 1 NPC to inflict. And...

Eleria nods in appreciation of those who had praised her performance, graciously accepting their applause. Though she can do nothing but stare blankly at the female gray elf, Taelythenihel. What had she meant by her comments? Was it to offend me? Or those who are listening? Or was it just her...

That sounds pretty reasonable to me. Ostensibly, the PC is able to improve their business when away, but not themself - they are already busy honing their own skills adventuring. Should a new 'Proposal' thread be made for either the Gaming Hall and Arena ideas. Is that the right place to...

“The I shall be only too happy to oblige, good sirs.” Eleria replies with a pleasant smile towards those who had already spoken with her, a druid and two wizards among them. Without any further delay, she begins plucking at the strings of her lute and sings a melody designed to lift the spirits...

There are reasons why gambling is a very closely monitored industry. Still, limiting the bet amount to crush any money transfer schemes seems quite feasible. The other thing is that there may be moral objections. Though I can’t see that being much of an issue in a fictional gaming world where...
