Chernguk winces in surprise and a small amount of pain as the shriek crushes in on his eardrums. He tries to maintain focus so that he can reload and get another shot off quickly. He tucks his body tight against the wall, minimizing his profile and hoping that the creature doesn't even see him...

OOC: So sorry! I didn't even see that this thread got posted up until just now. I was looking forward to it, but stupidly didn't check. IC: Perneyon takes a calming breath, looking at Cantankerous perceptively.

Chernguk cocks his head slightly in contemplation, looking down the sight of his crossbow. He clicks in his throat and nods slightly, pulling the trigger and loosing a bolt at the flapping creature.

Yeah Dr. Z, my character is not a paradigm of obedience, but if his superiors told him to do something during as important of a time as this, he would listen. He might try to figure it out on his own, but wouldn't make a scene of it.

The first half of your post is very similar to my DMing style, and the style of almost every game I've played in across several editions, including 4e. As a DM, logical conclusions and the rules thereof are "close enough" or sometimes even better than the official rules, and in most cases, I'm...

OOC: I'm a bit embarrassed to admit but I don't know how to make a spoiler section. Help? IC for Needles/GM: Chernguk whispers with a quiet hiss to Needles."I see something flapping... maybe a tunnel bat. Big." He slowly raises the sight of his crossbow up to his eye, attempting to track...

I feel pretty good about my individual character's background, but as Shayuri says, we should work out our relationship to one another. I don't think I would technically be your bodyguard, it would be more like a representative of my sect, and we were ordered to work together and to help each...

Alright, I would also like to roll for a Hide and Move silently while we were traveling in the dark. The first roll is Hide, second roll is Move Silently, third roll is Listen, fourth roll is Spot. Alright, got a natural twenty Listen check! So 24 Hide, 14 MS, Nat twenty Listen, and 18 Spot...

Clever! It's like Inception, RPs within RPs!

It depends on the setting. If it is in a Wuxia style setting where ninjutsu is a very real and practical use of Ki/Chi and forms of magic, then the ninja should be a rogue with this kind of magic for concealment, extra damage, etc. But, if we are going for a more anachronistic standpoint, then...

Definitely interested, although looking over it again, there would be no placement for Intelligence? I can understand your position of making it Wis and Cha, but wouldn't certain knowledges and things influence social encounters? Not sure. Well, here's the idea for my character: An...

How can I participate? I think it looks great.

Umbran good points, and I understand and agree with everything you're saying. I don't want to derail this thread any further, but I appreciate the responses. Just one suggestion if people wanted an explanation that was more than vague hand-wavery, but of course, still a quite fallible explanation.

OOC: That seems fine, although Chernguk would want to scout up ahead, out of the range of light of the rest of the party. If that is where Needles is going, then that is where he will go to back him up. If Needles doesn't want to do that, then he will do it himself. With 60' darkvision, I...

As hollowleg said, I think the original idea of Taint came from the Rokugan/Oriental Adventures book. There are some other options in that book than what are listed in the UA, if I recall correctly. You can also look at the various Star Wars systems (WEG, Revised, Saga) that model the Dark...

You're right, not literally "breaking" the laws of physics, but providing the appearance of doing so. Nanorobots could provide a constant upward or downward force, effectively increasing or decreasing the weight of an object. Using recycled hydrogen in the air could be used as the...

For a wizard: Correct For a cleric: Righteous For a rogue: Precise For a fighter: Indomitable For a druid: Harmonious For a paladin: Honorable For a ranger: Pursuant For a monk: Axiomatic

Chernguk walks around the clustered group so that he is beside Needles, giving him a slight nod. "I can come with, I live in these tunnels, and don't like the bright light anyway..." He reaches around to his lower back, pulling out his crossbow made from an assortment of repurposed sewer...

Depending on the level of technology, and since you mentioned the 60's, this might be irrelevant: but nanotechnology can provide some truly stunning and mind-boggling effects. Just off of the top of my head I can think of: limitless food/energy, indestructible buildings, perfect temperature and...

OMEN does something similar to this: everything falls into one of eight Skills, and each Skill has three Specialties. For example, let us say that you wish to be highly capable with the use of a spear. The player would need to apply points into the Melee Combat Skill, which would unlock its...
