    How does Charm Person work?

    Lol, one would think, that he wouldn't need to cast this spell. Most PC's act as if under it anyway - fighters charging into melee with a dragon to grant a wizard extra casting time, clerics healing worshippers of other gods for free, etc. Is there any point to him casting it, or does he simply...

    Why does nobody complain about the monk?

    And paladins would be nice if not for the existence of clerics, who can do all they can + more, and better. A melee optimized cleric fights better than an optimized paladin and he can still heal and buff others. Hence, no one claims paladin to be overpowered. Not to mention that the very point...

    Is house ruling fair to the game or gamers when first introducing it?

    I'd say it's irrelevant. Yeah, sure - player's are going to love or hate a game based on whether their cleric can buy nightsticks, 2 banned feats and how wildshape and item creation exactly works. They're going to judge the game and fun they had. If some rules are bothering DM and cause his...

    A question about knocking a character out.

    Right, I want to throw it out there again: 3 monsters with similar strength are: a whale, an adult dragon and a kraken. One of few stronger is the Terrasque. Apparently a mass of muscles like that needs aquatic surrounding just to still be able to move. A hero hit in straight in his face by one...

    What are Your Favorite Out of Print RPGs?

    MERPG, for sure.

    A question about knocking a character out.

    As reference - it's as if he got punched by an adult golden dragon (33 str), or a whale (35 str). Not knocking someone out would require surgical precision, not simply an intent. He should be happy he's alive, especially that I suspect the other character was drunk as well.

    Books With "Tear-Out" Maps

    You've ever had a book printed in early XX/end of XIX c.? They commonly used those big sheets of paper that were folded several times, and only then cut. So sometimes you'd end up with one that had uncut pages. I know a librarian that for years disallowed cutting books with this defect. Which...

    Help, players are too strong!

    Unleash The Pun-Pun. Why use avatars of gods, when a kobold will do? (well, The Kobold, but still). And he's like level 7 5.

    Question about weather influences on different materials over time

    Pro tip: the whole reason why biomass is preserved so well while frozen like that is lack of oxygen. But once access to it resumes - it tends to catch up mighty fast, and wood that survived for hundreds of years crumbles in matter of days. The mummies would start liquefying in matter of hours if...

    3.5 or 4th edition?

    BTW - if you've already decided to go with 4e - DDI subscription, even(especially? :P) for one month is good value, as you get tons and tons of downloadable stuff and character builder for life. Me recommendation in this case would be: use demo to get started, if you like the game - get 1 month...

    Fear Mr. Whiskers!

    Hm... now that you mention it, purring a prayer every now and then isn't that bad price for access to divine spells... Not to mention, that one can claim to clense the aquarium in the name of a god. Rogue plays like a cat, but I guess Inquisitor brings more of "I'm superior to thou" to the...

    Fear Mr. Whiskers!

    Rogue of course - noble felines bow to no gods.

    Monster Cards

    Those look very nice! If you really want to add the pictures - consider printing it on reverse of the card's. That way you'll be able to show the players how their opponent looks like - without risk of spoiling any information. Or just use tokens/minis (the former can be easily made and printed...

    Well apparently you're getting better at it as we speak, because I really like colouring in that last picture :D

    3.5 or 4th edition?

    I'd suggest taking a look at both, and see which you like better - it should be clear enough, as the gameplay is wastly different, which in turn is why people can't agree on which is "better". As many stated - the most recent version of DnD 3.X family is the Pathfinder RPG by Paizo, a game that...

    The villain has just pulled a dirty trick: Is that worth extra XP?

    I've reread them. What book are you referring to? Core Rules(p. 399) say(emphasis mine): "PFRPG characters advance in level by defeating monsters, overcoming challenges and completing adventures. (...)Keep a list of the CR's of all the monsters, traps, obstacles, and roleplaying encounters the...

    When to Apply Sneak Attack

    By the contrary, the target is in mixed quantum state of life. The power damage alone, or with addition of the sneak attack - may or may not affect the probability distribution, but he's both dead and alive until it is observed. The only creatures where this mechanic does not apply are: a...

    Pipino gallery

    Short of (hehe) the dwarf - I preferred sketches to painted ones. They're awesome - well made and definitely in style I like.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Basic: What should it be?

    As a sidenote: going only with some basic classes, and without barbarian - means that there won't be need to add d12 :P
