Here's what I don't get about the urban vs rural population gripe. This is a rural population. Heck a good Pueblo in the American Southwest could boast better numbers than this and though those were civil they certainly weren't urban. Mind you maize is a better producing crop than wheat, but...

1.) Sounds like a good fix, I'll use it myself. 2.) This was good, but the advice earlier in the thread sounds better. 3.) Also Ditto 4.) Your allies do not provide cover against your attacks, but any opponent does provide cover. So if you are firing from the second row and trying to hit...

Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't there minions with more than one hitpoint? Don't Devil Legionnaires have 12?

Feel free. I might not be able to access it till the morning, though.

Personally I'm really resistant to the politization of the alignment system. Among other things, the description you give of a Chaotic society makes no sense to me in terms of the old alignment system. More basicly, this is just another illustration of the fact that old system was six...

No, I don't think this qualifies as a definitive answer since in this answer the Lawful-Netural-Chaotic qualifiers have nothing to do with the Good element. Is the Chaotic Good person going to violate the restriction on the grass regardless of who it hurts or how it hurts them? How then is...

It's true there are alchemical/elemental interpretations of the Greek lesser deities, but in the mythology they always seemed pretty natural. When the river gets out of its bed to strangle Achilles it certainly seems more like a god of place thing than an elemental force thing.

It's been wiggin me out too. On the other hand - West Texas ain't exactly the most specific geographical description. We could be in different time zones even.

West Texas, 95 degrees in the heat, but I read at night when its more in the 70s or even lower - I work third shift normally extremely dry; right now it's going from super dry to 70% humidity based on stormfronts moving through I have palms soaked with the anxiety of a decade of life as an...

The way I'm thinking it works/I'm making it work is as follows: First, there is the Elemental Chaos. From that comes Creation. From that comes the Feywyld and the Shadowfell. On top of all of that exists the Astral Sea. ------------------------------------------------------ The great...

I can't decide if it's a weird aspect of me or my civilization that I found this question and the subsequent answer so exciting.

Yeah, I like this approach. The god lends the strength of the arm dedicated to his work once over to your next endeavor. Doesn't matter what the endeavor is or that it's anything strength related - gods think in potency not energy.

Well, I don't think anyone has been doubting the ability of good players and writers to make decent sausage out of the tripe that was the 9 alignment system, but I'd just like to try a more fit ethical meat as the basis for my DnD in this next edition. This paragraph demonstrates as well as...

Real Life PoL Merchant Models for the Non-Human Races The simple principle is caste not class. I'd say the wealth of kings is particularly vulnerable. Taxation is a miserable institution (A) and (B) kingship is a military and legal institution not financial. Which means kingdoms are small...

In my world: Nerath, which was itself built on the inheritance of an earlier empire, fell in an enigmatic cataclysm. The event was magical widespread and deadly. Three groups survived: 1.) Human members of the Legions who were far from the empire at the time of the event. They are now...

Sailing is easy. You roll off of Nature. Seriously. The skill covers both knowledge of environments and the tools necessary to adapt to them. If Nature lets you set snares and put together an effective long term campsite in the woods, then for an individual who knows nature for the coast you...

Remember Controllers roll damage once and roll attacks for each affected individual. So a controller is still great at controlling minions since he effectively gets an incredibly high number of attacks. What he isn't is an instant win by virtue of doing some damage on a miss.

I think this is almost entirely a matter of convincing yourself. None of the prior editions of DnD really supported the sort of thing you're talking about here. Some classes were better than others for supporting the man off of the street vibe but... Every edition of thief has been an expert...

How on earth is cheap bad? Cheap is fantastic! When I get to turn on my light once a day for an hour I get frustrated and unhappy. When I get to use my light to turn day into night, read when I like, and protect my house from intruders the light has become cheap but my use of the light has...

I don't really understand the significance of this analysis. And I suspect it really isn't significant for most people. In particular because I think that aesthetically I prefer a plywood trunk to a BMW. Would you mind providing further explication on what you do or do not find beautiful in...
