    Ever play the old Dark Tower boardgame?

    This game ruled all. Back in the day when video games were just a novelty ;)

    Pure Fun: Burnout 3

    I hear that! That game is stupid fun, I wasted a whole sunday on that game with friends before I even knew what happened!

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    No, in the example stated, I said excluding magic. Magical movement changes the scenario. The results of the trap would have to go off next round, otherwise (as another post stated above) the turn goes on for 8 or 10 seconds in stead of 6. It would have to effect both equally. That is...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    Because you can't do it all in one turn. You can't take a full attack AND take a five foot step AND fall that far all in one turn. That's more than six seconds. My original concern is that it's trying to move an extrra 20 feet or so in a turn. When you take a full attack, the only action you...

    Battlestar Galactica: Season 2 Part 6; NSCR/8.19.2005

    It all happened so fast, Im not sure we actually see her shoot him while facing him, but there is a scene of her facing him with a gun. Also, my money is she's talking to Zarek, that they cut some kind of deal.

    Battlestar Galactica: Season 2 Part 6; NSCR/8.19.2005

    In the scenes for next week, we see Sharon shoot Commander Adama AGAIN. This occurred to me: When I first saw on the preview that Co. Adama was on Kobol, my gut instinct was, man, he IS a cylon. The fact that the fleet was reuniting did not occur to me until I thought about it for a second or...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    Correct. But, as stated, this is apples and oranges. This is an unintentional consequence. However, in the stated example, the character is trying to use this ruling to his advantage, intentionally moving further than what the 5 foot step is intended to be. I would like to believe that if...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    I would definately consider lava harsh terrain, and thusly not permitted with the five foot step, so I would not allow it. If the player wanted to make a regular move into lava, more power too him, and he would indeed be daft :)

    Need help with aligment

    In my campaigns, we've done away with alignment completly. We first came across this in the Wheel of Time RPG, which does not use alignment, and a big part of character chapter talks about that lack and it's implications. Very well done, IMHO. You can probably pick it up pretty cheap now, as...

    Dropping a Pack

    I would rule that, as you can draw a weapon for free if you do so while moving, you could also drop the pack while moving no more than you max movement. Making it move equivalent.

    Willingly Be Sneak Attacked

    Let's say that there is this healing gun. I have been shot by this healing gun before. I know it heals me, and now I need to be healed. But it's going to take my self control to convince myself that the gun now being pointed at me is the healing gun. Thoughts like 'oh god, what if this is...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    LOL! That is splitting hairs, IMO. Most 5 foot steps don't really equate to five feet of actual movement in game. But as five feet is the smallest unit of movement measurement, it is used to address Minor moves. And furthermore, if the daggers are thrown first (as they eventually were, for...

    Willingly Be Sneak Attacked

    I don't see why a normal pc can not leave themselves open, intentionally, to a sneak attack. However, this would require a certain ammount of self control or restraint. Natural instincts would want to kick in preventing this kind of thing. You would need to be disciplined to overcome it, so a...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    The crux of my arguement is that it's too much to do and constitutes a move. I base this on the ruling vs unnatural or rough terrain. You can not take a five foot step to go up an incline or rocky/uneven surface. Air is not a natural MOVEABLE surface, not for a human, therefore you can not...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    He draws the three daggers and holds them out.

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    The crux is he is making a full attack, and to do that he would need the five foot step. A jump would require an action, preventing him from making his full attack. So I guess a better way to phrase it is: can you take a full non-movement action (such as a full attack) and then take a five foot...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    After debating for abit, we came to the same conclusion that he should actually throw the daggers FIRST :P What we're curious about now, is can you use the five foot step to intentionally fall down 10 or more feet, thusly taking more than five feet in movement, or should that be considered a...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    Ok, a character in our group has 3 attacks when making a full attack. Here's the situation, the character is on a second story, standing at the edge. There are enemies on the ground floor. He wants to attack them with a ranged weapon and get to the bottom floor. So, he declares that he takes...

    Is a coup de grace an evil act?

    If you were LG, I would say this would be a problem. Dishonorable and certainly frowned upon, but evil? I don't see a problem with a good person performing a coup de grace. Typically, when people talk about 'killing an unarmed and defenseless prisoner', this is in reference to a code of...
