In the RAW, yes, but both the GMs I play under and myself took some steps to get around this. Reserve feats and spell mastery (not the Wizard ability but more of a dedicated multi-use spell slot) addressed this nicely. Never a problem Yes and no. As a GM I took to using the UA option of...

I see it on both your list so I gotta ask. Heroes feast? Is it the dove-tailing of the 12 hour immunity to poison and fear and the 15-min workday? And Greg K, Tenser's Transformation? Just curious. The only core spell I don't allow is broke-ass Glibness. That spell is just wrong. Otherwise...

If a cohort is down levels they could receive an XP bonus independent of the party award. The rationale here is that the cohort is facing challenges well above their standard level equivalent. Alternately a cohort's master could donate XP but this might also lead to the cohort dumping that you...

Experience penalties have nothing to do with how a character is built only how they advance. To say that this character is broken is erroneous no matter what his favored class because none of these classes are precluded by any other (such as barbarian and monk or bard and paladin, which are...

One of the kids is a half-fiend Duegar slavers wanna buy your kids... cheap Cave fishers Kids think it's a game and wanna play hide and seek in the Underdark And of course... quaggoths

Is that really an issue. In my experience characters geared toward a PrC generally get their skill pre-reqs covered first, taking them as early and as often as they can. I had considered what you state above at first as well but after some thought I don't see it being a real issue. If anything...

Dude, your fix is totally broken.

Totally missed that. I think I just woke up from a nap. I'll rescind that then and instead recommend GURPS Cthulhupunk. It's pretty dark. I know, I know, that ain't very K. Dick-ey. I was always pretty happy with CP 2020. I never got too into any of the Chromebooks because they always had...

Most of my players either construct interesting backgrounds with a hookable element or two or generate something very bland and force me to arbitrarily assign background plot elements. No one is built immune to plot hooks in my games. I take a very direct hand if a character's background seems...

Have a look at SLA Industries. I haven't played it myself but one of my most respected gaming companions says it's the dystopian future cyber-punk game. It's available free at RPGnow (I think). If you can't find it there Google it cuz I know that it's out there.

I gotta call you on this. There was a unarmed strike/wrestling table on the PHB combat section. Primitive by today's standards but did have flavorable desciptors like rabbit punch, haymaker, and bear hug (3 + Strength bonus damage!!!). The priest splat also featured a monk variant with unarmed...

The Women of Elmore

Not to adversarial but I don't give a squat what anybody thinks of my gaming preferences. The exception to that being the 7-10 people that I game with regularly. And most of them dislike 4e or don't give a damn either way. I've stated in plenty of other posts,"I like some elements of 4e's...

Stafford is primarily responsible for Glorantha which is one of the most enduring role-playing mythologies. As I just read in Wikipedia he also founded Chaosium which is a pretty big deal. TSR is no longer around but Chaosium still is. Gasping it's last breaths apparently. Ia! Ia! Cthulhu...

This is amusing to me. White Wolf's faux-hip posturing has always driven me away from their products. I don't need to be told what is cool, particularly in the arena of gaming where that moniker is so subjective as to be non-existent. I'm not saying I never play White Wolf or don't own any of...

Sorry. Divination is my forbidden school. :eek:

And then released it too the gaming public. I see it more as our responsibility to ensure that it remains viable. Anything produced with any of the SRDs is competing with WotC's products. Sure competition keeps the market going but do they have to foster it? What is your reasoning other than...

Voila I'm not trying to be contentious but is it really WotC's responsibility? The SRDs belong to the gaming community. To keep their own products up makes sense, that's just good PR. I say if it's available what matters the source?

Yes but plate is represented as breastplate and chain hauberk. The armors are a bit different, for flavors sake I imagine. But everything is pretty much there. It is but that is the price of a finer grain. Conan also uses two types of defense bonus (Dodge and Parry). The combat system is fast...

Practiced Magic: At will 3e While I'm amenable to the idea of at will spells I feel that 4e implements them too quickly. For the balance of that game it is probably just fine. I think in 3e it would be a very different story as the main element of the 3e challenge system is the depletion of...
