Good advice, even though I am a bit of a powergamer. High CHA means access. Access to important people means money. On a related note: 5) Adventuring Outfit Is Not Your Only Outfit Don't look like a vagabond. Clothes are relatively cheap. Get that royal level outfit and even some non-magical...

Hi, The game is about being a member of, and running, an adventuring party. Thus, it's quite surprising that while many characters gain ultimate personal power, their adventuring groups still operate like amateurs; living from tavern to tavern, taking missions from shady/dirty old men in said...

In 1E (before WW) we had to always force one unlucky player to play the healer. I think he was always the same player :confused: I wonder he even kept coming to the gaming nights, because he didn't seem to enjoy it.

I can guess how introducing a new char .. avatar would go in my group: "I'm Jay .. Jay Lord" :p

Anyone can make a non-standard character, but it should be within certain limits. A character concept unsuitable for adventuring would usually be out. It's a mix of social convention between players and in-game reasoning. The players will have their characters accept you in the group even if...

There's an easy fix here: just grant an XP bonus to paladins, like 20-30% and they'll be more powerful than Fighters. Not that you asked for one ;) That's also my view of clerics.

Well, I'd say playing a cleric who spends his spells on the offence and not on the defence is still doing his part, can be a valuable part of the team (much more valuable than a healer cleric) and be a team player. To use the analogy "rogue who refuses to pick locks" or "fighter who doesn't...

Playing a cleric well is more demanding than playing a fighter or a paladin, but it's also much more rewarding. You're half right here. It takes an hour for a player who doesn't know what he is doing, or is inexperienced with clerics. Dispel Magic hasn't caused much trouble in our games...

Exactomundo! Clerics are quite adept at ass-kicking. With the right buffs they will kick more ass than the fighter. This cleric un-funness was never an issue in our games. And yes we had the group tactics pegged down quite well. Its just that all things considered healing is usually the...

So I belong to a really limited group who liked Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil? Well, at the point we played it, we were mostly students and gamed a really lot - so it was nice to have a really grand scale adventure. Not all my players liked it, though, I racked up a stack of dead PCs...

Since you organized it? I mean, you've been voicing your opinions on pokemon influences of D&D quite strongly for some time now, so I think you'd view him losing this as some kind of victory. That combined with your sig bet means you have vested interest in this thing - so, just maybe he's...

You're Even Steven :cool:

That's what I thought when I first saw it. However, by pausing the movie it's clear that they are just one-bladed swords. The long hilts and the way they strike makes it seem like a double-sword, or that's my recollection when I looked into it.

Double-sword in LotR movies? Where?

Very interesting thread. I should make a similar thread on the popular 3E detractors claim that if you fiddle with / houserule 3E rules, it all comes apart (balancewise, that is). Both this anime claim and that one always seem to stop short of actual proof being presented.

How will we now model LotR and Shadowfax with D&D, if the pokemount's going away? :cool:

In other news, the farmer also survived. He didn't go adventuring :p

White Pudding in ya face, beeyotch! Roll for save! :p

Well, if 3E is RPG porn, this thread surely rates as mental masturbation.

I thought this was argument about a PC losing all his gear, and how it's solved in 4E ;)
