    D&D 3.x [3.5] An experiment to nerf the full casters

    You do realize that the school of illusion alone is enough to rip most mundane characters a new one, right? Aside from the obvious shadowcraft magus abuses ("Oh god! It's realer than I am!"), there are still spells like Illusory Script which are incredibly good. You don't get wall of force...

    RangerWickett - you have a story hour...

    It's called the long road, IIRC. I posted in the grand finale thread for it three or four posts ago (it got bumped after MJ's death) - you have a CS account, so you should be able to find it in my history.

    How to run a Higurashi/Groundhog Day style game?

    Well, if you *really* want to have a single character get groundhog dayed, and don't want metagaming on the other player's parts... Get a group of, say, five people. Make your S.O. the looper, and completely screw over the non-looping people. They won't come back, so invite four other people...

    This week in my game – the Dungeon of Avalon, Nazi vampires, and hailing to the king

    No chance of you bumping the rest of the story, though, eh? *nagnag*

    OotS #658 is up!

    Or he could have taken Serenity, and be basing it off wisdom... I suppose it's possible one of those potions was healing and one was some sort of fire resistance...

    When is metagaming too much as a DM?

    Wait, you guys know how many HP the player characters have? I'm hard-pressed to keep track of their opponents', much less theirs. If I need to know, I ask for a status check (general level, like: on my last legs, or a little scratched up). Basically, unless the players make an attempt on...

    Pathfinder 1E Power and Pathfinder Classes - Forked Thread: Pathfinder - sell me

    The main issue with the attempts made to balance 3rd edition in pathfinder is that the people trying to rebalance don't really know the current problems in the system. For example, pumping up the WIZARD in order to "keep up with splatbooks" is patently absurd - wizards are, if not the most...

    What sort of aerial support would this evil horde have?

    Skeletal Nightmares. Burning flying skeletal horses.

    How much do characters know about game mechanics?

    Game mechanics are how the world acts when the player characters are around. That said, a certain cleric of Boccob did some experimentation with how many applications of cure minor wounds were necessary to recover people from the brink of unconsciousness. He published his results to little...

    Do you build NPCs to live or to die?

    Wait, you guys build your NPCs? I just jot down a level and class...

    Stop Combining Words in RPGs! - Let English prevail

    I find debating language a proposition at best bittersweet.

    How do you spot a munchkin? (share skills!)

    A munchkin is a player who can't bother to use the rules to make a powerful character, and resorts to cheating.

    Well, at least the gnomes are.

    RPGshop.com sells "precision" dice; but are they Gamescience brand?

    Not if it connects to http://www.random.org/, or if you use your hardware in non-standard ways to get seeds.

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    I was under the impression that he needed to create greater undead so he'd have a valid target for familicide. That's what it looks like, anyway.

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    Detect evil IMC is houseruled so it's a little less stupid. As is, the LG ghost of a level 20 paladin detects the same as a bone devil. The paladin ability is altered as well - it's essentially "detect divine enemy". If someone pings, the question isn't "should I smite them", but "when and...

    Wand of healing: Everybody pitch in?

    Every member of the party buys a wand of CLW or lesser vigor - they are then used communally.

    The real flaw of 3E/3.5E/OGL

    Yeah. The bystander rolls a natural one.

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    Again, what if V had put the "purify spell" metamagic on familicide (totally possible if he trades away his elven weapon proficiencies using embrace the dark chaos)? Then the final spell would have the [good] descriptor, and only harm nongood targets. Under that circumstance, is casting the...
