    Wing and Sword: Life During Wartime

    Normand looks around and speaks up. "Place's pretty deserted, and the sarge ain't far. Why dontcha poke around a bit, and I'll go let him know and come back."

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    I wouldn't say that, I'd say I'm becoming smarter! Seriously, sometimes things just click, and sometimes they don't.. The mystery can be the same difficulty, and one will be figured out in seconds, while the other will leave players running around like chickens with their heads cut-off. Trust...

    Wing and Sword: Life During Wartime

    Normand stands and shrugs, accepting the round. "Beats me. My best guess would be that some pack animal got tied there for a bit, and the bullet slipped from a bag or something, while the animal chewed on the branch. Probably while fells unloaded some stuff to hide somewhere or something...

    How many ENWorld pbp games make it longer than three months?

    One problem I've had in some games I joined is that DMs almost always go with "first-come, first-serve". And some players are not.. Well, all that good, in my opinion. I know it's petty, but posts with poor grammar/punctuation/spelling/etc.. makes it hard for me to get into things, as well...

    Wing and Sword: Life During Wartime

    Normand calls out to Marcel. "Hey doc! Come take a look at this!" Crouching next to the shell, Normand takes care to fix in his head it's exact position. Next, he stands up and look closely at the branch, without touching it, trying to find claws or teeth marks.

    Cheating and D&D

    *shrug* I have a player who "cheats" a lot. I mean, it's obvious. He uses those stupidly tiny dice, sits far away from whomever DMs, rolls high 75% of the time, etc. I know it. All the other players know it. They also know I know it. Thing is, the dude's a nice guy, a friend. He often...

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    Doh! In some cases, a sprained ankle can be worse than a broken bone. Kiss your wife better, Shaman! It won't really help, but it's still worth it. A lot of things are too harsh on the french, if you ask me. It puts me in a weird as heck position. As a french-canadian, we make fun of the...

    Should Spot checks include looking up?

    Having run the WLD past that point.. The first room in which they came up on a Darkmantle on the ceiling, they got a spot check. None of them spotted it, and the thing got the drop on them. Afterwards, they made a point of looking at the ceiling, and didn't get dropped like that anymore.

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    Well, I know for a fact there's nothing to be found where I'm searching, since I rolled a 20 on my search check.

    Wing and Sword: Life During Wartime

    "Wow thanks a lot, Vidal. That's going to be awesome!" Normand then turns towards the doctor. "Well doc, this is fun, but we better get on with our job, or we'll get chewed out something fierce." OOC: Normand will do a complete walkaround of the building, poking in the sand here and there...

    So how many of you made the switch?

    Mostly 3.0, but I integrated enough 3.5 changes that I voted the third option. That, plus I have many books that came out after the switch, and those are 3.5.

    How do you tell a fellow player he can't pick a particular feat for his PC?

    And really, the discussion has evolved way past the OP anyway. But we keep having to read posts trying to find out wether or not the OP was kidding or meant it, which, in the end, matters not, at least not at this point. Draw your own conclusions, and post as if you were right.

    How do you tell a fellow player he can't pick a particular feat for his PC?

    You're missing the point. The thing isn't that SF (Craft(basketweaving)) isn't useful at all. That wasn't the question, or the point to be made. What was said was that all feats are equal or something to that effect, which is just flat-wrong in context. The point I was making is that not all...

    Editable Character sheets for homebrew/house rule heavy games, where to find?

    Geez. After misreading the thread's title, I came in here thinking I'd make an amusing lil joke, but then it turned out I wasn't a unique, special snowflake after all.

    How do you tell a fellow player he can't pick a particular feat for his PC?

    Fine.. In a campaign in which it's been made extremely clear by the DM that it will not go into Epic levels, a Fighter 12 picks up Quicken Spell (which, according to the SRD, has no pre-requisites) as his 12th level feat. How exactly is he going to "use" it to make it not a waste of a feat.

    How do you tell a fellow player he can't pick a particular feat for his PC?

    I.. Don't think I'm the one who missed the point. Yes, it's what you do with the feat that matters. But there is no way that, overall, in anything coming close to being close to possibly being a typical campaign, SF (Craft(basketweaving)) will come into play in any way to make you "do...

    How do you tell a fellow player he can't pick a particular feat for his PC?

    Prove what? That some feats are better than other under some circumstances? Give me one occasion in which Skill Focus (craft (basket weaving)) is better than Weapon Specialization for a 6th Level Fighter that didn't previously pick up his favored weapon's specialization. And no, the national...

    How do you tell a fellow player he can't pick a particular feat for his PC?

    Also, could you tell us whose advice you plan on following? If it's mine, I'll give you a virtual dollar!

    How do you tell a fellow player he can't pick a particular feat for his PC?

    It's pretty easy to fix, and all of you are going about it the wrong way. Confronting the player will just lead to trouble. Heck, even asking him why he took such feats can lead to tension, which is bad for the cohesion of the group. Instead, wait until he goes to the bathroom. Then, you...
