Kinda like Dune. Only the Bene Gesserit women can drink the water of life and not die (it's rather the water of death, heh), but when a man is an exception to that rule, he becomes a god.

Yes, Jack is evil. He's nonetheless the good guy of the story, because it's clearly biased toward pirates of course, but he's evil as far as alignments are concerned. It shows that one can be chaotic evil and still not be a clone of Belkar. Giving him levels of barbarian, as Mark proposes...

You guys are dorks. :eek: :lol:

It would have been quite a fun gimmick for a serial.

I've been invited to put this link here. It's an alt. fighter with bonus tricks. The thread is quite old now.

The basis was very probably the Scythians. Their culture was quite interesting, actually. Women fought along the men (until they became mothers, at least), and their shamans were crossdressers.

Because it's a bad design to make feats requiring a level of of a certain class. WotC made some of them, but that's bad. Feats are supposed to be stuff that reach accross the various character classes; i.e., you don't need to be a wizard to craft scrolls as any spellcaster, even a paladin or...

I have to point out that Eberron features asexual creatures (Warforged) and hermaphrodites (Changelings). As Pratchett could say, males and females lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on robots. Female is a deformation (indeed influenced by "male") of Old French (and Modern French too, but...

Items with charges, or even single-use. Less magic backpacks, more magic arrows. Less magic armors, more magic potions. As a result, the PCs will get to either keep their magic items (and not use them) like a bunch of mad collectors until encumberance rules kick in, or they will not be much...

The only strip that didn't reinforce the impression Azure City was doomed was the one with the legion of ghost-martyrs. Presumably, all they'll manage to do is distract Xykon until O-Chul gets freed from his paralysis and smash the sapphire, destroying the gate and forcing Xykon to go look for...

I'm surprised to say it, but this man shows wisdom; if not a proper understanding of punctuation rules. :) My own system to take away the sting of sucky rolls is that both the player and the DM roll for hit points when a character gains a level. The player in the open, the DM behind the screen...

As a rule, everytime people are snickering about something you just said and you don't understand why, you can assume it's coincidentally slang for something sexual. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the assumption is correct.

I've a little wiki hosted on the serverspace my ISP gave me. We're two DMs to use it, but players mostly don't bother. So, for the D&D campaigns, I decided to give XP incentive to the characters of the players who contribute, and it seems it's working!

If Argent Could Talk: "Master, I smell something... It seems there are humans in the vicinity. Several humans. They're Azurite, they wear clothing, and they hold metal, probably weapons!" I'll let you all imagine what Hinjo could reply to that. :p

Belkar did once. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0042.html

I failed my spot check: I didn't see any ninja reference in that strip. (But I liked the comment about The Complete Adventuring Fisherman.)

I think Piratecat started a thread entitled "In Media Res" on that topic. It had a fun example with a d20 modern chase scene as the PCs were pursued by dinosaurs or mutants or mutant dinosaurs or something like that out of a mad scientist's laboratory beneath... Disneyland!

Alright. The implication is that people could be, at best, biclassed (for metis characters, I suppose) and that free-form multiclassing would be impossible. Otherwise, it's exactly equivalent, mechanically-speaking, to having many classes which all are exclusive to a single race -- your...

The city isn't founded by paladins, it existed before the Sapphire Guard was created. In fact, Soon Kim was the first paladin of the Sapphire Guard, the others were honorable samurai that became paladins after. The city isn't ruled by paladins either, it's ruled by a hereditary king, the...

Also, the Hobgoblins have an overwhelming drive toward lawfulness -- "usually lawful evil" means that the majority of them are LE, the remainder being mostly LN or NE (within one step of the typical alignment).
