    ???? how to build a d&d super character

    What edition are you playing? Is your DM using some special rules for character creation? From what you're saying, that seems to be the case, so we may not be able to help you very much.

    Significance of Rule Changes in Editions

    Would that also include all the wasted bones? (And FWIW, IME the kids love the hotter wings more than the old folks. Go figure.)

    Edition War Across the Net or Where Have You Been?

    I was under the impression that you could download and save everything, even print it out. Are you saying that is incorrect?

    The Game for Non-Gamers: (Forked from: Sexism in D&D)

    Oh yes, you did, silly me for blanking on it. Well, I have no objections to your description, and I do think that requiring as a general condition, the literal dialog would be excessive. So yeah, I think we're at the place where the other side has to make their case on that. So what do you...

    What alignment is Cobra Commander - the Official Word

    Anyway, back to GI JOE....anybody think Cobra and the Scarlet Brotherhood feel somewhat similar?

    The Game for Non-Gamers: (Forked from: Sexism in D&D)

    Well, if that's indeed the best you can do, then that would be a severe problem. Why not, instead of argumentation, try explaining how you'd handle the situations given? Perhaps that would enable you to express yourself better? Also, I still want to know how you think "no, you couldn't" was...

    The Game for Non-Gamers: (Forked from: Sexism in D&D)

    So how would you resolve the hypothetical non-combat encounters I brought up in the prior post? Also, I note you said reducing, not eliminating. Would there still be a role for fiat, just a more limited one?

    The Game for Non-Gamers: (Forked from: Sexism in D&D)

    Again, Ariosto, I'm not thinking it is as much about me as you are thinking I am. It's true. You may not believe it, but it's true. So instead of pursuing this line of argument that I am, once again, explicitly and specifically assuring you is not actually the case, please address what I...

    What alignment is Cobra Commander - the Official Word

    That's nice, but... Anyway, we can argue alignment classifications till the cows come home, set up shop, go out in the morning, mutate into giant killer death cows after a nuclear bomb blast, and destroy the universe, so it's really not going to be settled anyway. I'm just pointing out that the...

    Ranger Or Mage

    Well, first you want to be a....Ranger. And live a life of danger! But ok, it seems you're a brand new spanking player, right? I would therefore pick whichever one isn't in the existing group. If there's none of either, see if there's another player in the same role. Get advice from the...

    What alignment is Cobra Commander - the Official Word

    Well, remember, this is from the 1980s, so he would have seemed a bit more lawful back then. Using the 1E alignments: CE: The major precepts of this alignment are freedom, randomness, and woe. Laws and order, kindness and good deeds are disdained. Life has no value. By promoting chaos and...

    The Game for Non-Gamers: (Forked from: Sexism in D&D)

    Indeed, I have shared in what manner I would have handled the hypothetical situations that have arisen. How would others handle it? It might be more productive to see actual methods than argue further over general concerns. (For the record, the hypothetical situations have been the PC...

    Introducing Far Eastern players to D&D D20

    Well, I don't know if it'd apply in Thailand, but I might choose to be careful about involving local mythos. Somebody might find that offensive, especially by an outsider. I'd start with something generic they're familiar with, and see if anybody asks for something local to add color. But I'm...

    The Game for Non-Gamers: (Forked from: Sexism in D&D)

    Well, as I see it, you can avoid combat fairly well. Sure the GM will have to make some decisions, but then the GM will also be making some decisions in combat as well. Not that big an issue, and if you really wanted to do so, you could create some parameters to determine results instead of...

    Daily Power? Can't see where you're going there, but a skill challenge? Sure. I'd say they'd all take some minor damage, and then ask them what they'd do. Relevant skills to come into play could include: Arcana (What just hit them) Diplomacy (If there's somebody else around) Dungeoneering...

    The Game for Non-Gamers: (Forked from: Sexism in D&D)

    I'd say you're wrong because there are rules for such things in the game. Wandering Monsters for the first, various Feast spells for the second. :p Then I'd say Hairfoot said it first if anybody complained. :angel::devil:
