    Vow of Poverty: Power Analysis

    Dagnabbit PAX you are making me do something I never wanted to. Find fault with VoP. I see a difference between begging components for spells (also hitching a ride on a mount, sleeping in the inn etcetera, heck even with a 5k diamond for resurrection) and "please keep those magic items around...

    Vow of Poverty: Power Analysis

    Actually they do. How is a forsaker destroying magic items he doesn't own unless the DM is being nice and sending in enemies wearing the appropriate armor/sword/shield to get sundered once per day (in which case said DM has issues) Anything else certainly isn't "donating" his share to charity...

    BoED -- Vow of Poverty

    Yup gonna walk from one end of the spine of the world all the way to the other end so that I can rescue the kings teenage daughter. Have to walk her back too since I couldn't take a horse for her to ride on, or climbing gear. I might have her back in a year or three mostly unscathed.

    BoED -- Vow of Poverty

    So a king/prince/aristocrat who wants me to attend a ball to 1) provide for his protection, and 2) to flirt my way into information, is out of luck. I will never fit in to the right conversations or look the part unless he provides my "disguise" but then my vow is broken. Explain then who...

    BoED -- Vow of Poverty

    If I am living with a poor hermit and he throws me out or I leave I also leave with nothing. Sure I had something I had companionship, shelter, and I was lent the tools with which to do a favour for a person that wanted that favour done. None of it do I carry with me. So long as that character...

    BoED -- Vow of Poverty

    Please then explain the two best RL examples which exist of a vow of poverty Mother Theresa, and Ghandi. Both of these lived mostly meager existance but on occassion they were offered and accepted lavish extravagances (Hotel suites, plane tickets, lavish meals). They did not ask for these...

    BoED -- Vow of Poverty

    Lord Pendragon over the course of two pages you have failed to sway my thinking. I still believe that a VoP can ride another characters donkey, horse, warhorse, in the wagon, have a spot in the tent etcetera. I also still believe he or she can perform on the stage in a bar, or as a...

    Fair enough. This world takes all kinds and thats what makes it great. Thank you for answering. In groups where "he hit the critter for more than me" is something people complain about I suppose everyone being roughly equal is to be striven for. In ours everyone or two has their "thing". Thats...

    Used too ? Were people not having fun, were published adventures cake walks ? I am just curious as to the reason for stopping. As far as other players being at a disadvantage if the roll low or whatnot I believe I have the best total in the group currently and I am not outshining anyone. The...

    CHEAP BROKEN monk weaponry

    Except for epic weapons aren't you limited to +10 total (+5 is max for hit/damage and then 5 in abilities) enhancements ? And yes you can do slashing damage with an unarmed strike pre epic. Level 2 of mysteries of the dragon initiate (or something similar) from the draconomicon allows unarmed...

    4d6 drop lowest roll till you're happy with them and you can do it at home or wherever prior to the game starting. have your character ready to go by 8pm Saturday unless you haven't had a chance to ask the DM about something from a book you aren't sure he'll allow. Some players abuse this, some...
