    Has the DMs job evolved in regard to "winging-it"?

    What is "the crunch"? Of course 4.0 came out with some good thing - like no LA, at-will powers, and fewer skills (17). Some of us did have similar house rules for 3.x. We also had a system of disadvantages for feats, and had dumped THAC0 in AD&D. It was about time that WotC caught up with us...

    Has the DMs job evolved in regard to "winging-it"?

    I'm not going to get into an edition war, but IMVHO all editions have been in the need of some house rules to both simplify and to add needed detail. The rules you modify to simplify should allow you to wing it as you wish. Whichever edition you are playing.

    Feat Points

    Feats add uniqueness to characters, and I like to keep things simple. All characters gain one feat per level, with no stat increase every four (replaced by more feats). Feats include stat increase +1, specific save +2, skill increase +4, and everything in the books plus more.

    Save Progressions

    With so many characters going multi-class, I figured it was easier to progress all characters (regardless of class) at Level/2 rather than the various good/poor progressions.

    Pathfinder 1E How to order Pathfinder on PDF

    Yesterday I just bought the Pathfinder Core Rulebook from my local game store for $50. I also wanted to buy the PDF for $10, but the proprietor told me that game stores could not get it, and I would have to buy it on line. I went to the Piazo site, but it appears that I could only buy the PDF...

    Gleemax

    Perhaps you can help me out, or shed some light on the nature of my problem. In January of 2008 I first tried to sign up for and log into Gleemax. After six months of failed attempts and alot of frustration that included at least a dozen emails with their tech people and two phone calls, the...

    Gleemax

    My glee was never maximized. I could never log in, even after numerous emails from their tech center and a phone conversation that lasted an hour. It was a terrible concept that we gamers are better off without.

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    FWIW, when I ran a Forgotten Realms game (started a 7th level), I clearly stated up front that the only canon was the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book. Nothing else would be included (not by deliberate exclusion, but by DM ignorance of said canon). I also told the players that if they...

    Everyone starts at 1st level

    This is what my first level character looked like at first level: AC: 12 - 22 [11] HP: 15 - 35 [14] Att: +1 - +8 [-1] Dam: 4 - 10 [-1]

    Everyone starts at 1st level

    I agree with you. From my perspective D&D is a team game of players with characters with near equal power with different things they can do. I don't believe I'd make it beyond the first week of that lowbie game. I'd get bored as one of the more powerful characters, and frustrated as the...

    Loot as you go, or no?

    Why do you assume nil? That was one of the many things to fear while adventuring.

    What's your damage?

    You are not owned by pet cats, are you.

    Loot as you go, or no?

    Three categories: 1) Players take group treasure that is used right away. 2) Group treasure that will be divided later or sold. 3) personal treasure acquired the rest of the group doesn't know about.

    SW Saga House Rules, what are yours?

    Our group added Quickness (Initiative) as the 18th skill. There is no difference in mechanics, but we needed an even number of skills. Skill advancement is no longer done zero at odd levels, 18 at even levels, with all advancement being equal. Every three levels, characters gain nine skill...

    What's your damage?

    In the heat of battle you did not feel the pain. Then you used one of your healing surges. And thank you for solving this mystery... healing surges heal damage, but they do not stop the bleeding.

    What Makes a Good Player?

    Having PDFs of the Players Handbooks is nice, because you can copy powers and feats to your character sheet. It is also helpful if you describe what you are carrying, and where and how you are carrying it.

    Forked Thread: PDF or Dead tree?

    As a player, I like to cut-n-paste information to my character sheet (a Word document). As a DM, I like to modify modules, and the easiest way to do that is in Word. If I get a PDF, I want to be able to take text from it.
