I was looking over making a new storm sorcerer and noticed that they have all of 0 dex-based skills as class ones. Does anyone know the reasoning behind that? I mean, they get stuff like endurance and athletics, but not acrobatics or stealth or something? Does any other classes not get any...

Personally, an interesting trap for a temple of greed would be a doorway that shoots arrows at someone who walks through without taking something from the donation plate next to the door. Not a main passageway trap, but still, nice and low leveled.

I was in a PbP Besm game of all things for a year or two. Upside is that you can monologue forever. Interludes, backstories and the like are easy. The downside is meaningful interaction with other players. Or the lack thereof. It is exceedingly difficult to talk with others via pbp. Try doing...

Combine it with the Sage of Ages epic destiny and you always win those checks forever.

They also had living relatives they cared about and a hometown that hasn't already been exploded. They are obviously bating the GM to smite everything they love save themselves and their shinnies. Perhaps that it, they are actually acting out of self-interest by making other situations that can...

While that might be the case, nowhere does the daggermaster paragon path claim you need to be using a weapon, nor does it mention a weapon at all. It says dagger. You are using a dagger. That dagger might not be a weapon when you are using it, but it is still a dagger which the abilities call...

If you made them opposite, it'd be a super powerful weapon or even more hilarity would ensue. Just saying.

Well, in my most recent game, a 7th level starpact warlock girl held down a gibbering mouther. Sigh@high rolls. I guess that's not as cool as your stories though....

Slap polymorph any object on the critter so it's duration is instant. Always a fun origin story for a wizard's familiar. Not that my wizard ever did that, but glibness is a powerful spell and what rouge too that high of sense motive? If you can't say they are stealing from you cause they rolled...

Oh, a question! Aside from recaps/journals which nobody in my gaming group seems keen on, what would a player contribute to a campaign wiki, if anything? Or is that not how it's supposed to work?

Does every group have a rogue? Have the rogue do such and such comes up A LOT here. None of my groups have had one... Is it that strange?

Default assumption is that you find x treasure as you level. You can identify things you find by spending short rest time. The party is screwed if the gm says so, just as always.

Tactically speaking, why are people jumping up on bookcases and swinging from chandeliers? Just cause it's cool? That is the problem I tend to run across. Showy tends to be horrible when you screw up and a marginal at best advantage if you don't. How do you encourage people to be over the top...

All games were 5 or 6 players. 1 or 2 could position enemies tops. Highest level was 7 ever, generally it was level 1-5 so not that many conditional modifiers. Usually, the game with the taclord, you just used action point and you hit. Other games? We didn't have conditional modifiers that could...

Talking about DnD to non-gamers is similar to talking about networking to non-computer people. It's all Greek. I don't hang out around people who wouldn't have decided to play pnp rpgs already if they were interested. Although, as a different kind of thing.... I can NOT play DnD in front of...

I really haven't been in many fights that weren't grinds. I think it's because none of the player's at wills seem tactically interesting. Pushes and slides, unless you are in the room of grinding gears, tend to not matter much. I suppose if every encounter ever had some kind of mechanically and...

WotC said that they were trying to get rid of 'timmy' choices in their games. It is more likely that this is an oversight then a deliberate backpedaling in policy that you shouldn't need to have system mastery to actually not suck.

How would they do that? They are always missing half of the requirements for any weapon mastery feat. They have no use for str and 17 is the lowest requirement for any mastery, (light blade)

I suppose it's by far too much to hope for that the ability to use any arcane implement via proficiency would extend to allowing you to use a heavy or light blade you are proficient in. You know, like a swordmage? My thaneborn barbarian/sorcerer would love that. Especally since you have to use a...

I too would welcome an official core book having rules for gestalting. Oh, and it is always more powerful then someone who isn't, thus I would suggest avoiding such discrepancies by forcing everyone to be that way.
