Okay see this post I like because it seems like we are leaving the trenches a tad. No everything isn't pre-determined. Yes bad things will happen to the characters as will good things. The characters will do some brilliant things, and perform some really bonehead moves. These and other things...

Because you can never really tell what those Wacky PCs will do. It makes the story interactive, and go off on all sorts of wierd directions. Gotta go wife is dragging me out the door to go bra shopping

Because the rules frame the story. They provide the backdrop, and the framework. The skeletal structure if you will. Now skeletons are cool and all but they are quite disinteresting (unless you happen to be a forensic anthropologist and even then just the "odd ones" will be interesting after a...

If I were sick with something "interesting" I'ld trust him with my life, and to go one step further since I value my wife above me I would trust him with her life if she were sick with something interesting. I also wouldn't mind social exchanges with him. I think he would make a decent...

so my DM called. She said she took all the party stats and all the encounter stats in the module we were going to be playing this weekend and ran them through the "computron 5000". Turns out there is a TPK part way through so we all get to re-roll and start over as level 1 next weekend. Good...

If you are assigning a D&D alignment a comparison to a D&D class seems appropriate. Yes exactly like crosswords, soap operas, psp, and gameboy. With the exception of the soap operas (not to dis people that watch soaps) all are very mentally stimulating. They allow him both an escape and keep...

House is what a 15+ level cleric ? Keeping a high level spell in reserve so he can cure common people of common problems IS beneath him there are better things he could be doing that benefit more people over the long term. What next ? Brennan should perform routine autopsies rather than...

In my humble opinion (which matters entirely only to myself) 1) DMs can't cheat (see rule 0) 2) I really don't mind (in the long term, the short term can be frustrating) if a BBEG gets away by virtue of DM fiat. I assume this will mean he will be coming after us / we will be going after him...

To misquote Colonel Jessup His existence while grotesque to you save lives. Deep down in places you don't like to talk about at parties you want him in that hospital you NEED him in that hospital. We are looking (in my opinion) at this all wrong. We are looking at a microcosm of people who are...

I think it's a conspiracy to raise the level of intellectual (pseudo or actual) discourse all around. I also think "on the ground" means any solid unmoving surface (so a boat doesn't count but a tower etcetera does) But thats just my take on it. The manuevers themselves don't seem to require a...

Do you think they word things like this just to make people debate what they really meant ?

I would guess maybe Pathfinder ?

1) Lower subscription fee seeing as how they no longer have to print or ship a hardcopy 2) Adventure path articles to continue (both the adventure and the correllary pieces) 3) Class Acts to continue 4) Easily printable content 5) Easily searchable content. That was my major nitpick about the...

I'ld be more willing to bet that LN clerk and CN op both rubbed each other the wrong way because of the non nuetral parts of the corresponding alignments. The three CE kids that came in to case the joint and shove stuff in their pockets went away due to too many witnesses.

I re-reead the OP to be sure it still said what I thought it did. I am an older person and sometimes these things change from waht I remember. Who did he chase off 20 minutes before closing ? The OP and his spouse came into the store 20 minutes before closing. Were informed of how far away...

While I echo your position I believe I have often times heard a quote that it costs anywhere from 4 to 10 times the amount to get NEW business as it does to keep old (current) business. What exactly that has to do with the price of tea in china in regards to this post I am not sure but it seemed...

I consider myself a roleplayer. All of my characters have a decent enough background for adventure hooks (only a few of which have ever been "village razed by humanoids and I seek vengence/orphaned yada yada yada). I LOVE all the new feats, prcs, races, and base classes. Sure I can make a...

YA know I was laying in bed thinking just the same thing last night. Perhaps yearly they should release compendiums for each of the following 1) base classes and the new rules they need (manuevers, etcetera) 2) Prestige classes 3) skills and feats with new and updated uses 4) anything else I...

See now I *KNOW* my run ins to my FLGS ,where I really only like the management the regular clerks make me feel icky, will ALWAYS take more than 20 minutes. They regularly close at 10pm so I rarely venture in past 7pm and NEVER after 9pm. I have worked retail and I know that 1) Stores take...

I am quite confused regarding the warshaper ability to add 1 size category to a natural attack when used in conjunction with a monks Improved Unarmed Strike ability. I know mileage will vary I am just looking for a general feel of opinions from all sides. IUS states that the strikes are...
