For titles, this might help you with finding some interesting names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_and_noble_ranks Are you looking for each once to have a specific identity? Martial commander, Sorceress, Assassin, etc? Or are you saying you are looking for something other than that?

Our game is a hybrid one, with about half the players local and the others are remote. So we are used to having a good amount of email going back and forth in between our sessions. So it actually works out well that the player wants to do things mainly between sessions.

Thanks for all the advice everyone! I have talked to the player and he wants to keep the majority of it out of the main sessions, rather he doesn't want to bog down the normal game time with it, so he'll be telling me what he wants to do during downtime and we'll go from there.

So in my last session I introduced a new NPC, namely a beautiful heiress who turns out is the patron behind the party's jobs. She has stepped out of the shadows to join the party since they uncovered a space elevator that the patron gas been looking for. One of my players latched onto the NPC...

I don't fully understand the rational behind spreading out the three core books across 3 months. Why? I mean 4e was core three on the same day! we were able to jump fully into the game without having to wait a quarter.

For those of you who don't know, Void star games has just launched their kickstarter for the savage worlds edition of their Nova Praxis setting! Originally released for FATE, finally it's being developed for Savage Worlds! Hopefully we can get this going and I'm especially hoping for another...

If you really want to go there, then let's just clear the air. I am a very lenient dm when it comes to stuff like this. It takes a lot and I mean a lot for something to just not work. If the player can describe how it works then it's golden. Even if they can't I will try to find a reason why...

Pot meet kettle. Have you got anything to contribute?

Sniping others like this is a sure sign that you've run out of good arguments.

You are falling into the same trap. Troll regeneration is not the same as fighter regeneration, otherwise it would be stopped by fire as well. In fact regeneration in 4e is just a special kind of HP regeneration, where you regain HP at the start of your turn. There is no mention on how the...

Well as you said before neither of us are going to convince the other. We are just talking past each other now.

I think it's your insistence in calling it magic. Supernatural or extraordinary is well within the realm of martial. It's just not magic.

Personally, I view martial regeneration as 3.5 fast healing. basically the same thing except it doesnt regrow limbs (something that isn't in 4e anyways). 4e regeneration is just a special kind of healing that just regenerates HP per turn. the flavor is up to the power source/power/flavor.

Fair enough, but the biological regeneration is only one of many meanings of the word.

No drawbacks, the only drawbacks are player generated. And this isn't a drawback, it's merely exercising DM perrogitive, from PHB 54: "You can use a power whenever you are able to takethe action the power requires. (Certain conditions, as defined in Chapter 9, prohibit you from taking...

Regeneration in 4e is defined in phb 293: "Regeneration is a special form of healing that restoresa fixed number of hit points every round. Regeneration doesn’t rely on healing surges." There is nothing in the regeneration entry about wounds closing or skin sticking back together. In fact...

Because some situations are just impossible without magic. That's just how it rolls. If that player wants to tap into some martial magic, it's up to the player. If the player wants to keep his character purely mundane there will be no complaints. Edit: If you want to ask me a question...

In what way? If he has some kind of magic? Sure. My above statement is for a character that has described himself or herself as mundane.

If the player couldn't come up with a valid response or I couldn't think of a good reason for the enemies not to see him or her then yes. but we are talking about hiding in a featureless plane. I'm willing to work with trying to blend in with the background, hiding up a wall or hanging from a...

Savage worlds all the way.
