    Stupid High Skill Checks and Saves

    You've missunderstood. I'm a big fan of using less leveld enemies for the Pc's to fight; I agree that those conflicts can be just as dangerous. And you don't need alot of magic or items to make the foes just as deadly as anything the Pc's have. But, about the weird stuff. I don't agree. I...

    Stupid High Skill Checks and Saves

    Well, neither myself nor my gruop has an issue with the rules as we've made them. And our recipe/system is fine. I was simply trying to give advice to someone who seems to be going down the same path as myself, and others did when they find that D&D losses itself later. However, if you don't...

    When You Keep Killing Characters?

    Wow maybe its just me, but a half dragon with class levels with rouges as back up may be a bit much for a fith level anything. You might not want to go for the killing blows at all times, I mean, not every stab goes to the heart or the lung. People do get bumps and bruies and bloody noses from...

    Stupid High Skill Checks and Saves

    Ahhhh....now you've seen the truth. D&D is flawed. Its like a video game where in later levels you just trash anything that isn't either: as big as the screen, or the final boss. A few tips. Start over for one since if you throw in these new rules now, you might piss of your players. First...

    Limb Loss

    Well, people lose their hands, feet, arms, and legs in my game when damage calls for it. But, you have to set up the way you deal and take damage so it works. IF you give the body a level of HP, and then set each body part with a % of that total. Then, when enough damage is done to the body, the...

    The Wheel of Time with a "Dune" feel to it

    Looking for two more players in the North Ga Area: live in Duluth. Its every other friday (but that day can change if new players fit group well so that options are reasonable) Like the post says, its a Wheel of Time game which has a Dune style influence to it. Sounds interesting, email me...

    Player issue - help with a rogue

    Sorry, I've played with Dm's before who've allowed players to make Called Shots to a foe: this means, you target a specific area, say, the head, but, the DC is harder now however if you do hit, then damage is done directly to that area. There is a system for it, but we play a more realistic...

    Player issue - help with a rogue

    wow, I've never heard this before. Rogues are nasty, and if used right, can put the whoop on any other class. Tell him he should be doing Called Shots, using two weapons: short swords, or knives. Take all the feats for them, extend his abiity to crit, and look at the Rogue book. There are alot...

    Do Illusions show up in mirrors?

    NO However, If I'm under the effect of an illusion, and I look into the mirror *looking back behind me at the fake demon made by the illusion* I'd still see it. Illusions only effect those who are under it, so, they see it in any which way which, if it were really there, would be able to be...

    The problem with elves (question posed)

    "Playing Human" If the elves are older than humans, then Men; and war, or conflict is older than both, and Elves would reach this natural accurancce first, since they've been around longer; then, wouldn't it be Humans Playing Elves when War was the topic of the day, and not the other way...

    The problem with elves (question posed)

    "Die from fire ant attacks," are you serious? I think what men would be most jealous of, would be the long life, and the magic, and ability to look so perfect, not by the other immunities that you've stated; even so, I don't think it would logically put a whole race against another. My friend...

    The problem with elves (question posed)

    Well, I think your wrong, but that's not the point. I agree with what someone else wrote "if you dont want your players to play elves, then say it" you shouldn't just make a cross-the-board statment that takes up several pages of text to explain your oppinion of a mythos that's older then you...

    Too much incentive to stay dead

    Biography......sorry, I just had to laugh. I hope you were kidding. "Please insert two more coins to continue..........." you can't just upload one persons impact from the story into someone new just for convience, if you want that, play a videogame.

    Too much incentive to stay dead

    Perhaps the DM should use other tools instead of killing off the players so much: wounds that don't heal, scars, fatigue, and so on. Combat can be great, and the players can get hurt enough, lose llimbs or fingers or just get kicked around to the point that they are still going to feel it for...

    I've a question. Has anyone ran a Dune game, that is, a game based on the Dune stories writen by Frank Herbert? If so, tell me about them, and how did you rank the different types of people in the game: races, powers and ect. (Also, does anyone own one of those rare and $ Dune Rpg books? If so...

    Why Do Clerics Have More Spells Per Day Than Wizards?

    The reason that the cleric has the ability to cast more is becuse its assumed that the party is going to get hurt, and they need to be healed. Its a game-function thing. And yes, I've always thought it made it so that clerics were almost always needed unless the DM took the time to think of...

    Have you ever refused to come back from the dead?

    One, had option to play as a ghost for a bit. And two, got tired of coming back. IT gets silly after the third time dying, and sometimes coming back is way way way to easy.
