    The paladin. A story and a question.

    "Hey Galahad you just slew something that your deity reviles and has declared should be hunted and destroyed what are you going to do now ........ ?" "Ummmm stand here and let the followers of the big bad thing elbow and headbutt me to death thus losing the overall war while winning one small...

    The paladin. A story and a question.

    The difference between harboring "tasteful" heretics and seeing all heresy expunged at the end of a longsword wielded by Kelemvor's truly faithful is one of dedication. I mean, to draw an RL comparisson, MODERATOR EDIT - Let's Don't.

    Why I don't play D&D anymore

    I don't know that this thread is the best place for this and I apologize if I derail it completely. I think one of the main factors in the "buildz" mentality of having to have the most optimized character possible for your class/race/level/ combination is that now rather than being 4 or 5...

    Why I don't play D&D anymore

    I guess we are all a bit more laid back. Quite likely it's our players and GM bleeding through in to our characters and campaign. We are two married couples, with kids, and 4 full time jobs involved. When we can get a moment for our recreational hobby of choice we aren't about to make our...

    Why I don't play D&D anymore

    My GMs over the past few years must have been doing something wrong, even when playing through official "modules" (if that term is still used) I don't think we ever had 4 encounters per day, except maybe during the "ring through the nose" that was "whispers of the vampires blade". Besides if...

    Why I don't play D&D anymore

    my reply, and I am by no means an expert in any way, is that I believe you can assign a CR (challenge rating) to a diplomatic event (or series thereof), or to finding and putting together a string of clues or what not. I believe, and I could be wrong here feel free to correct me, characters get...

    Attack the orphanage!

    This would likely get around anything like "detect evil" or "protection from evil" The ones that are not mind controlled are just doing what they have been lead to believe (and in most cases would actually be) good. Protecting the (usually) good person that looks after them. Since they aren't...

    Cheating and D&D

    I have to say this comparisson seems quite distasteful to me. Yes as you might suspect I am a player who will fudge a die roll on occassion. I play with friends and we are there to blow off steam after a long work week. We are currently three people playing sub-optimized characters (sorry no we...

    trying to figure out my RL alignment

    I am from Moncton, NB Enforcing a recycling program only proves that city council wants to feel all warm and gushy about themselves with lack of valid reasoning, and they want to use the time and effort of their citizens to do it. In each and every case excepting that of metals you can make new...

    trying to figure out my RL alignment

    I honestly think war should be as destructive and disgusting and revolting as either side can make it. My reasoning for this is that it SHOULD be the absolute last resort and you should play hard and win fast. Hopefully so you won't have to do it again for a very long time. Ir was in the rules...

    trying to figure out my RL alignment

    Speeding is due to arrogance... The road and car can handle more speed and I think I am better than the average driver for whom the laws are written. Loitering is more due to I just don't notice or care. If I am standing around talking to friends and not blocking an aisle, entrance or exit I...

    trying to figure out my RL alignment

    I want it "legally sorted" to avoid the legal repercussions of not sorting or sorting incorrectly, ie fines and a stern talking to. So I am following the law not because I suppose it is the right thing to do but rather to avoid negative consequences for myself and my wife. I would guess that...

    trying to figure out my RL alignment

    This came up because the municipal government here implemented wet/dry garbage sorting with fines for non-compliance. Now generally I follow laws and like order not so much that I would call myself lawful but most laws make some kind of sense so I can manage to comply without having to go out...

    Gestalt and ECL

    I thought most caster PrC listed spell progression as something akin to "+1 level of existing spell casting progression" I also thought Gestalt allowed one to "pick the better of the two options presented" for example "hey my monk progression doesn't get a BaB increase this round but the...

    Try again <sigh> Monks and Improve Natural Attack

    Well here is my first reply from custserv. Long and short of it is that WOTC thinks all it's players have bodies that are not natural and are damaging each other with things that are not weapons. So a tigeress clawing me is a natural attack but my significant other with her inch long nails...

    Try again <sigh> Monks and Improve Natural Attack

    I tend to agree. Sure a monk CAN take INA. But INA and IUS shouldn't stack. If I recall correctly it is IUS that makes a monk 1) armed when using unarmed strikes/natural attacks, 2) Improves the natural attacks damage dice, and 3) Gives her iterative strikes. If INA and IUS don't stack, I fail...
