    Please help me build a deadly Rogue

    I can't find this. It sounds in the vein of brilliant energy which is wicked expensive. Anybody got a source?

    spoiling the encounter via metagaming.

    I'm sorta guilty of this. I GM a lot so I'm very familiar with monster stats and I sometimes get a bit enthusiastic when I know what a monster is. I'm not that bad but sometimes when I start jumping up and down and clamping my mouth shut the GM gives me the hairy eyeball. As combat progresses I...

    Games that didn't survive first contact. . .

    Heh. Similar experience minus the noobs. I have no idea what went wrong cuz I've run Conan before. My majors are: Deadlands - A lot of this lays in the lap of the GM. It was a poorly conceived, poorly run game. When I finally got a good look at the rules I saw why. That game tried to cram so...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder RPG Beta Release is available!

    All alone... :( I still haven't been able to download the beta. I even created a new account at Paizo (you never know). Has any body else had this problem? I'm on a Mac but I'm sure that doesn't matter. I already e-mailed customer support but that was 4(?) days ago already. Anyone?

    Does turning invisible cancel out Glitterdust?

    Actually by that rationale it does do squat. Since the character is still technically invisible and thus gaining the benefit of total concealment they can make Hide checks as long as the invisibility's duration persists. That's pretty lawyery but in line with the rules. Although the light given...

    Does turning invisible cancel out Glitterdust?

    I haven't seen a consensus but here's some facts. Glitterdust has a duration meaning that it is a persistent spell effect. This is mainly to do with the blinding but has the secondary effect of canceling invisibility. It's area of effect indicates targets meaning it applies to characters as...

    Question about warforged monks...?

    Not related but I find it funny that you're mis-type of shot ended up as :):):):) and Eric's grandmother didn't like that. Err... umm... Carry on folks. Nothing to see here.

    What are people doing with their 3.x colletions?

    I'm building a fort. It's not very big but seeing as the only thing I do in it is play Tunnels and Trolls solo adventures I don't need much room. The biggest problem is that I keep taking out the west wall when I roll dice. Tunnels and Trolls uses a lot of d6s. I'm thinking of adding a guest...

    Feinting for another PC

    A generous DM might allow you to design a skill trick from Complete Scoundrel. Looking something like this maybe. Deadly Distraction [Interaction] The character is able to use their skills at feinting to create openings for other attackers. Prerequisite: Bluff 8 Ranks Benefit: The...

    Looking for Altenative Exp System

    Keys Character Arcs Possibly identical systems. The first is by the original author, the second a variant for a specific campaign. I've used this system for d20 Conan which does not use the standard CR/EL awards system. Worked fine as a augmentation to the arbitrary awards I provided.

    Craving battles

    Hahaha! We've got a shat-load of minis so if we ever want straight up violence it's usually gonna be minis scenarios*. We have a minimum of one combat per game and if it is only one it's usually pretty major. I enjoy the violence but after all these years (22) I like it to be in context. That...

    Free PDF for "Of Ice and Fire" Quickstart

    It's a totally new system independent of the GoO release and d20. I don't know if it is OGL or not. It uses a d6 dice pool system and beyond that I can't give a succinct description. It looks very good though, both innovative and familiar. The mechanics presented in the fast-play download gives...

    Free PDF for "Of Ice and Fire" Quickstart

    I'm really, really stoked about this game. The social combat system alone is, I dunno, sublime. GoO did a good job with the d20 version but it was just too much. A game set in Westeros should be filled with uncertainties. This new mechanic reflects that better than d20 can, IMO. Plenty of...

    Classless/Point Buy d20?

    Is this any good? I downloaded it and was intrigued but got turned off by all the tables. Have you made any characters or used it in actual play? I ask because it seems very concise but it makes my eyes cross when I try to actually use it.

    Classless/Point Buy d20?

    Eclipse: The Codex Persona is good. But it is incredibly dense. The pdf will not do, you need hard copy. I made a few characters just with the pdf but to have a group use it would be a royal pain in the arse. Word to the wise. Classless characters have real potential to break the system. It is...

    Conspiracy X - useful for source material?

    If you have the full game and understand the rules the supplements are useful. By themselves they are a bit hard to comprehend. I'm speaking mainly of the first edition products. The original rule-set is a bit... whacky. Of the few supplements I have every one of them has had some use. The...

    D&D 4E d20 Modern 4E - I want it!

    Conspiracy X is from Eden Studios, makers of Unisystem (Buffy, AFMBE, Witchcraft). I have a few supplements that are excellent. Sub Rosa, the collection of conspiracies. Beautiful.
