Oofta, Always interested in hearing what works for other groups - fine if what works is RAW. If you don't mind, what level is your group and how many characters in the party ? I always talk to my players about this stuff, possibly too much as they usually have the attitude "you just work out...

Sure but the fact that you should roleplay your character is something common to all characters. Fighters should be roleplayed as well, with personal goals, secrets, codes of conduct or whatever. To the extent the oaths and additional role play obligation is seen as a justification for more...

Asmodeus 22 +1= 23. You are welcome my lord. Baalzebul 22 Baphomet 20 Demogorgon 19 Dispater 12 Fierna 15 Fraz-Urb'Luu 1-2 = dead. I only came here to kill a demon lord!! Geryon 20 Glasya 23 Graz'zt 20 Juiblex 19 Levistus 18 Mammon 22 Mephistopheles 22 Orcus 20 Yeenoghu 16 Zariel 7 Zuggtmoy 18

I disagree Ancalagon that it's purely a "pace if game issue" though that is an important factor. The Paladins combat defence up to 5th matches the fighter and both are weaker than a raging barbarian. Both compensate by getting a bit of healing capacity. Then the auras start over the next few...

Asmodeus 21+1=22 Baalzebul 23 Baphomet 20 Demogorgon 19 Dispater 18 Fierna 16 Fraz-Urb'Luu 9 Geryon 20 Glasya 22 Graz'zt 21 Juiblex 20 Levistus 20-2=18 Mammon 21 Mephistopheles 22 Orcus 19 Yeenoghu 19 Zariel 10 Zuggtmoy 16

Paladin starts balanced up to about 4th level but then gets a big bump at 5th (second attack, extra 5hp lay on hands and 1x1st, 2x2nd level spells - fighters just get second attack) then seems to just get incrementally more powerful each level. They end up at 10th+ nigh invulnerable to magic and...

I guess it depends on the definition of cheating for some of this stuff. If the game you play has rules that say that you may ignore the dice roll in certain circumstances then you are not violating a rule if you ignore a dice roll in the allowed circumstances. Imo it's not cheating to comply...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm steering away from paladin penalties and looking at just universally upgrading the other non spellcaster classes to catch up mechanically.

I know some won't agree with me on a number of fronts but I believe that the Paladin class is the most powerful of the 4 or 5 melee classes (barb, fighter, ranger, paladin & monk). To address this without simply permanently removing some of their features I am contemplating playing a stricter...

I agree. I mean seriously a city adventure chasing a pot of gold in a big independent city linked to a nearby dungeon created by a long missing mad arch mage. Hmmm I reckon I could port that across to a certain large Free city on Oerth and link it to a nearby dungeon created by ..... Wait for...

I suspect that Earthbind is created due to the Magic the gathering card of the same name. The description of the spell effect is the same. Oh and yeah it just effects the targets fly speed

1-5? I thought it was for levels 1-15.

What would you prefer?

who took Thanos' infinity gauntlet?

I'm thinking I should be able to slot it in nicely into my LMoP, ToD, PoA, SKT amalgam campaign.

Someone in chat said it was for levels 1-20. Did one of the presenters say that?

As a DM I referred to it as the "Friend Folio". I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Because it was largely reprinting monsters submitted to White Dwarf it had a big pool of imagination to draw on. It did have a wide range of creatures some meh like the carbuncle and gambado (iirc) and some great...

Classic, well they say you can vote down for any reason and "by mistake" is a reason that exists IRL elections. As a matter of interest ClaytonCross how many down votes did you erroneously throw at the poor Ancient Paladin?

For those interested below is the flip side of my lingering injuries rules. Again I wish to encourage characters to spend time in town, with their master etc. for roleplaying narrative purposes, but also granting a mechanical benefit. The injuries are the stick and peak condition benefits are...

I use this system because I run a campaign where I want the characters to sometimes need to rest longer than a day to be fully recovered after having the snot beaten out of them. After running this system for a while the party had been through a fairly gruelling adventure and all melee types had...
