Here is another poll I could see being split down the middle. Is psionics underpowered or overpowered? And I love how both sides seem to use pretty sloppy math to prove their point. :) My main beef is that it seems psionics was pretty much hamstrung (by the author's own admission) so as to...

I had a couple of questions. Is you game going to be low or high power psionics? If it was going to be high powered, how were going to deal with the reduced damage and healing that psions get compared to magic spells?

Mechanicaly speaking, Muntants and Masterminds has worked wonders for my Space Fantasy game, which is pretty pulpy. The GM's biggest chore will be to decide which powers he wants off limits for his game, or at least to put limits on some of them to keep the game in a more pulp feel vs. four...

From what I got reading it, Mont's version of psionics will be basicaly a Sor. class that specilizes in "psionic" spells. I have to admit that I like the ability to use lower spell slots to cast higher spells (and never understood why DnD didn't take that step with 3e), but it seems to be...

LOL! this is probably the most logical reason why! From what I understand, DnD PC games make a dumptruck's worth of money compared the the rpg market. (From what I am getting, Hasbro and Marvel Comics see thier properties in a similar light, the "flagship" product barely keeps the lights on and...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Worst Thing About Psionics in DD3E Is Its Lack of Support And what does a Jack Vance "Spell Slot" magic system have to do with Tolkien, and Conan, and Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar compared to a spell point system? If you create the right powers for either system, you still...

The Slayer Class is NOT currently allowed for Living Arcanis. Yeah, playing a psionic class in LA is a labor of love at the moment. I have found most people who are proud of min/maxing despite restrictions mostly giving up on squeezing anything out of a LA psi warror. Now psion may be a...

Re: Re: The Worst Thing About Psionics in DD3E Is Its Lack of Support I totally forgot! Bruce did a "convert D&D spells into psionic powers" in ITCK. Every spell level = its psion power level and cost the same PP. He basicaly did a "find and replace" for components to manifestations and then...

Or better yet! it may appeal to people who have a dislike for everything but D&D, but won't realize until they enjoyed playing MnM that they're playing with without the fundamantal D&D sacred cows such as hit points, alignments, spell slots, classes and a limited item creation system that has...

I am struck by the inherent delusion most gamers have about thier dice. Most people say the love the random nature of using dice, yet the inherent mechanics of using dice in system where you "advance" and get better in skills and attack rolls means the random nature of the dice becomes less...

An almost even split! Wow! I expect 3 to1 for no Be honest, the psi rules are actualy an alternative spell point system. And with the ways the system stores and transerfers points around, it can give the feeling the characters are "maniuplating" an arcane force, compared to the "juggle some...

Is this class reprinted in any of the WotC class books? I'd like to take the PrC, but my GM is type that he more readily accepts things in the "standard" books, such as WotC core or class books. Besides, he pretty literal minded when he wants to be. (one prequisite is that you have to have the...

Page 212 in Oriental Adventures Is this class reprinted in any of the WotC class books? I'd like to take the PrC, but my GM is so literal minded that it would make my life easier if it was in a class book (one prequisite is that you have to have the race: Human (Crab Clan) )

TSR: I wouldn't know. Only one DM ran Spelljammer, (which was okay), everyone else did homebrews, with about 30 pages of home rules to boot. I think that's what some DMs liked about their "backyard" games, only they truely understood what was ever going on. I would have liked to play Dark Sun...

As a friend was explaining it to me. Von: "Wait a minute, in CoC, all the players go insane. Ken: "Yep." Von: "And now you freely give them automatic weapons that are within arm's reach as they crack up?!?" Ken: "Yeeeah!!, it is a thing of beauty to run, I tell ya!"

Green Ronin's MnM Message Fourm

Don't give me flashbacks! For three years I was stuck in Nowheresville and the local rpg community was embarrassing. I brought my big box of games to show them there was something in life other than Magic and AD&D. They dismissed everything out of hand, including Earthdawn. By the time I left...

Good Idea: Vowing to your war god you will never take off your plate, except to sleep. Bad Idea: Waking up in your borrowed hammock to discover the ship is sinking.

MnM is not perfect, but it is very useful. I keep reading all these threads about "How do I do this class/monster/magic item?" And all I can think is "These message boards would be a lot quieter if everyone was using MnM." Designing PC concept, enemy or toy is a snap, why does everyone else...

Wheel of Time was low-magic enough that some of the DnD classes (Bard) were rewritten as non-magical varients.
