The judges are generally happy to consider adventure proposals where the exact encounter lineup isn't known yet, as long as you demonstrate that you know how to adjust it to the level of the players you end up with. For example: "The players will eventually encounter the nefarious Oswald...

Basically, yes. If your old character was here, and you're still interested in them, feel free to keep using that one. Mysterious disappearances are easy to explain in character.

I struggle with that, too, as a DM. As a judge, I'd have no problem at all if you want to award your players the L4 item of their choice. Suitably fluffed up (e.g. their patron commissions the finest magical craftsmen to do a personalized order) that sort of thing can be a great RP experience...

Seems to me like this would effectively limit DMs to awarding "the L4 item of your choice".

Right, but if someone is spoofing being accepted through the wiki, they might not ever submit their character for approval. In fact, if they avoided games where the DM is a judge, they could go for a long time without a judge ever laying eyes on the character sheet. I admit this is an...

Yes, but why would you ever look? If I put in some bogus numbers with links off into the middle of some thread somewhere, under what circumstances would you be checking those links?

Is the approved characters thread not getting updated? Hmm. I'm well out of the loop on character approvals, I'm afraid. The idea behind having the list in a thread, rather than in the wiki, was so that only judges could update the official list. Otherwise, what's to stop me from just...

I'd find it to be more work, to handle status differently for one character than for the others. As an aside, I recently played with a DM who insisted that all PCs be treated this way: not allowing us to talk in terms of HP at the table. If an enemy hit you, you'd lose 10 HP as usual, but...

I'm not thrilled with this. It seems ripe for powergaming. In fact, after looking at the possibilities a bit more, I'm not thrilled with flaws at all. Consider an Orc barbarian 1 with maxed Str. He takes Shaky and Pathetic (cha) to let him have Power attack, Cleave, and Improved...

I think it's possible to come up with justifications for why a sudden change in your vision, even if it's an improvement, could cause you to lose specialized skills at certain things such as fighting, but not all feats are about that. Skimming the feat list, here are some feats that I think it...

The simulationist in me is slightly put off by the idea that regenerating a missing eye causes you to somehow lose a feat. But, mostly, I'm posting to subscribe, to keep an eye on this thread.

YES and YES

I don't have chapter-and-verse to support it, but that interpretation seems reasonable to me.

I'll echo what others have said: thanks for all the fun, guys, and I apologize for my part in the gradual burnout. I intend to get around to being more active with PbP again at some point, and I still like Quagmire, so I'll speak for one of those healing potions. (I'm willing to be...

ooc: What's left to be done? I thought I had tied it all up, except for Richard's reincarnation, which you guys handled just fine without my input.

"Nice job, lads. Keep on 'em!" Quagmire shouts, brushing the embers away from his toughened hide absently. In a practiced move, he feints and leaves an opening for Hrav to strike the wounded cambion, before whirling his blurring blade toward the other foe in an attempt to hobble its defenses...

With a grunt of effort, Quagmire yanks the shining shield out of the wall. He polishes a bit of dirt off of it with a fold of his cloak, admiring its shine. Then he turns and hurls it at the body of one of the nearby kruthik, where it sinks in with a satisfying SPLURCH. A moment later, it...

"Nice work there, lads," Quagmire says, slapping Hrav on the back, "As usual, aye? D'ye reckon we outta swing through these side caves right quick, before movin' on? Could be we ain't the first set o' folks tryin' to come through here; might be somethin' useful." Quagmire has an inspiring...

ooc: That shift is fine.

Quagmire closes with the insectile foe, trying to relieve some of the pressure on Kauldron, but his attack serves only as a distraction for Hrav to take a better position. Move: to I11. Standard: wolf pack tactics against the one in J12; Hrav can shift 1 before the attack. I've rolled...
