    Party surviving without an arcane caster?

    I think they'll be fine. A lot of people noted that they might have problems with the ranged damage of an arcane but most of evocation is slightly over-rated anyway, a well tooled up cleric will bounce it, a rogue will dodge it and the rest have hit points to soak it. About the only thing I'd...

    [OT] How much of history do we really know?

    One of the more important things to note is that history is written by the winners, especially when it comes to things like conflict, so its often a bit hard to find an unbiased record of what happened. As for the rest of it, theres educated guess work based on the interpretation of evidence...

    I dunno who's been DM'ing since whenever here and I dont really care to represent anyones queries but my own. Christ, its not like I asked for a kidney or anything...

    Ageless... but not really.

    Extend Life Span from the ELH. Add one half the maximum result of your race's maximum age modifier to your normal middle age, old and venerable age catorgories. It dosnt lower your current age category but you can get it multiple times and it stacks. Theres a few people in our epic game...

    change a letter/word

    Bodge: Once per game you can bork a dice roll in your favour vs 1 opponent. Improved Plunder: You squirrel away more than your fair share of loot at any oppertunity and can ignore modifiers for being overloaded. Still Smell: No matter what you do, or how regually you bathe there is an odour...

    The best anti-caster tactic

    As a spellcaster, emp+max Enervation or an energy drain followed by a Disintergration. The level loss strips out the highest level spells (very important!) and drops the Fort save down considerably, then the disintergrate tends to tear them a new one easily. Acid Fog and a quickend Dimensional...

    Perform (Stand-Up Comedy)

    ok, here goes an attempt at something origonal... Sir Henry the paladin walks into his local temple of St Cuthbert looking for atonement, Father Brian, a cranky old geezer rubs the stubble on his chin and hefts his cudgel in anticipation at having to educate another fool. "So what brings ye...

    Book of Exalted Deeds Info

    The Aleax, I seem to remember them from some old 1E stuff ages ago, which I probably dont own anymore... Sounds interesting though and an almost vital counterpoint to BoVD, as is its not much fun being good and its always fun being naughty :) edit- Found it, back in my old 1981 Fiend Folio...

    Do you think your thoughts are being used...

    Dunno about some of mine personally, most of them suck. But theres plenty of people with some beauties Ive seen and would like to see in some publication or at least deserve it. However, intellectual copywrite probably dosnt cover anything blurbed out onto a public messageboard, no matter how...

    How are spiked chains carried?

    Cheesecloth bag along with your snails?

    How were flails carried?

    I guess if you wanted to add some "realism" to using a flail or flexible weapon in melee is to halve the effectiveness of an enemies shield.

    How were flails carried?

    Flails get carried in your hand, maybe slung over your shoulder,in a kit or saddle bag of some type when going a fair distance and you want to keep both hands otherwise useful for something else, like hanging onto your horse or holding a polearm. Yep, some of the medieval flails had spikes on...

    Do grammar and spelling matter on a message board?

    Well theres different versions of english, English/US and English/UK/Au have a a lot of differences in their spelling and its not the easiest language for people to learn, much more so to write. Yes, there is the rest of the world out there and its probably a lot different to your own backyard...

    Gaming groups: friends or all business?

    My origional gaming group of friends was a group of flatmates, me, 3 guys and 2 girls, many years ago and we've since gone our seperate ways a long time ago. Back with 1E Shadowrun and some 1E-2E D&D. We sort of played together on and off for about 6 years, I shanghai'd in a few others along...

    Clerics who don't fight

    Actually, the new Dragonlance, love or hate the setting has a spontaneous divine caster called the Mystic which in my opinion is one of the best new base classes Ive seen put together for quite awile. Now, I figure if you wanted to transpose one into a contempory setting you'd give them a diety...

    Medieval gun powder as good as modern!

    I used to make my own blackpowder and its pretty horrible compared to modern smokeless in terms of power produed, thats not to say its ineffective, just not as good or could be stored well. However it is easy to make if you know the measurments and are willing to tinker around refining the...

    Wounds/Vitality and Defense?

    WP/VP are ok in Star Wars, its not really as combat heavy as D&D which Ive often thought is a primer for medievil home invasion :) "Kick in the door, slay the baddies, nick their stuff" In Star Wars you'll learn pretty quick which fights you will pick, which ones to run from, even if youve got...

    Names for horses!

    Works well in real life too ;) I think in that case naming your animal companion "Tastes a bit like a chicken" or Tablac for short. And there's less to think about when you have to name the next one, Tablac the II, Tablac jnr, Tablac the III, Tablac the Tasty... In the epicsies game we're...
