    Looking for Old Real World Heroes and Villians Thread

    Do you mean this thread? Seems a little vague :( Slainte, -Loonook.

    How old does he look?

    Your example is, of course, the crux of your argument. Your argument, which makes for the fact that Age = levels, then complain that an old man should not be better at X because they are physically incompetent (of course, your stats still leave him at... a base 0). Your whole post tries to...

    Different XP progressions as a means of class balance?

    Was just looking for my 2e charts... And I completely agree. Go for it. Though remember the Multiclass rules. Slainte, -Loonook. EDIT: Considering the current climate, the Cleric may have a bit of expectation :D Examples: Warrior 2000 4000 8000 16000 32000 64000 125000 250000 500000...

    DMing Puzzles: Not Too Easy, Not Too Hard, What's Just Right?

    That works... Except that a really paranoid mage would never leave their mnemonic in plain sight for their personal use. This seems to be the kind of thing that would be found in a travelogue, diary, etc. or perhaps on the mage or carved into his favored Shield Guardian. I never understood the...

    How old does he look?

    I do love the ad hominen attacks... Let's go with the tricks of the fact that you really haven't addressed anything going against you. So we're going to go with Kilimanjaro. 40000+ individuals have attempted to climb per year... lets say that goes for the last seventy years. Let's go with the...

    I hate character sheets

    I like the layout for virtual gaming... Though I would adjust a couple of things stylistically for paper greyscale use.... But I am finally tired, so I will pass out and update in the morn. Slainte, -Loonook.

    How old does he look?

    Yes, because I didn't list personally half a dozen individuals who I have known who have done it. Of course, old people cannot use skills... And also, what is the benefit of youth in d20 beyond the basic bonuses? Slainte, -Loonook.

    Creating & Buying Monsters+Lairbuilding

    Wights... Oh Wights. Why purpose Elven pleasure slaves? You have all of those nice little handy villages around to turn and burn as you see fit, making yourself some wights... And you mean it would be difficult for your 20th level Evil Cleric to cover up a little villacide? Nah.. I think...

    How old does he look?

    As you ignored the rest of my post.. Yes and No. Slower? Not per D&D but per life yes. With more knowledge? Yes. Sherpas into their elder years are found, and as I said I have had people in their seventies hunting in mountain and hill country. I mean for actual strength purposes they have...

    Have you ever been a dick player?

    Once we ran a BoEF game and there was this special spell.. I just don't want to talk about it. Really there's no such thing as a disruptive player character... moreso a coup d'grace target :D. I've played with disruptors, who place their sweaty palms on the brake of the Fun Train and...

    Let's write some riddles!

    Always wanted to use this one for a published setting (guess the setting gain bonus points!) Come from within to seal the breach To run red hot my own tight niche Within I run two flows oppose Turn in and out violet and rose To draw me out to be your end To draw me in too great a sin I fill the...

    What do Medusababies eat?

    Where is your concrete evidence? Just because they have breast they must bear milk? That argument is just a house built on sand... We need some rock-hard conclusions, but if they need stone and milk you can always just get a goat and add some baa-salt. Slainte, -Loonook.

    What do Medusababies eat?

    Unless you are a lithophile.. Alright! Thanks for the citation Aeo, missing you guys over at the ol' Psionics/Otherworlders/whathaveyou. Slainte, -Loonook.

    How old does he look?

    So old age and skill beat youth and fitness? Color me surprised. My grandfather served in the Army, jumped from planes, shot at soldiers in two theaters of war. He came home and had screwed up his legs... A once pretty solid ballplayer took to the Trades. He kept up with his shooting until...

    DM - Adversarial or Permissive?

    And the player, through his own choice of actions, did not expend the free action that he could have performed before they got any closer to get into parley, find out what is going on, and prevent a combat. Again, DM played a weird slate, and Player decided to make his poor PC into a runaway...

    [Legendfall] The Adventures of Jon Harrow

    Just posted a couple of tie-ins between The Adventures of Jon Harrow and The Good Gaming Blog. I also have great news about receiving one of my first art pieces for Legendfall! For your perusal I present a picture of Mirian wearing her Mask of Many Faces, sent to me by...

    How old does he look?

    The D20 system deals fine with age; and class and level assumptions are the real downfall of your argument along with the fact that it is strictly based on humans. I hate the fact that an elf with three hundred years of experience may actually be lesser than a human at 35, but I accept it as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Random Encounters in 5E

    I miss random encounters :( Which is why I just run them in my own games :). It is one of those breaking rules, something that some people love and some people will hate. It is just not worth the hassle of placing it in the rules as a must-do sort of thing. Slainte, -Loonook.

    What do Medusababies eat?

    You know this poor guy is just trying to make a quarry, but I guess I could chalk it up to you being a slag. I say we clean the slate, or I shale have to take it up with the moderators. I was also thinking of where the gaze really comes from. Perhaps I just never use medusae but if the origin...

    Character Generation - Stat Draft Method

    4d6 drop lowest reroll 1s on 3 chosen stats. With 4d6dlrr1s all stats I pulled an average of 34.7 points, with 2 hitting below 25, and 3 hitting above 45 over 25 sets. The mode is around 35 so definitely heroic but not overly so. Offering a minimum bonus of a certain amount would also help...
