If you want to step away from the North American causes for Independence, you can look at what the Revolutionary Juntas did in South America. When Napoleon named his brother King of Spain, the juntas decided to rebel until the real King returned. Of course, for most of the juntas, this was just...

I'm not sure I agree with you, you crazy, crazy man.... :p

Get your players to help. Have them create NPCs, guilds, labor unions, crime syndicates (more than one for a city that size), politicians, the nobility, the craftsmen... That will help your players feel linked to the city in a much closer way than if you just present them with it. If they feel...

Seeing how his presence was causing trouble, Larry orders three tequila shots. "Look man, I'm cool. Let me buy you a drink." After the shots arrive he continues in lower voice. "We're looking for Ricky 'cause Diego thinks he can help us with a little job. Maybe we can help you find him. I doubt...

Berzerkers can transfer RP during combat, and there is one trait that allows for the same. The heal skill allows for hp transfer as well, but it isn't very efficient. The only resource that determines how many encounters you can have in a day is hitpoints. Since abilities are token-based, and...

"I'll go with Diego, while the rest follow Cade. We'll keep in contact with you guys. Watch your backs." As he turns to elave with Diego, he speaks in a lower voice so thatonly the latino can hear him. "If we see anything freaky, we´ll run. Us two running into something else, I don't like the...

This fills me with joy and happiness. :) You can count on one sale already.

:lol: you said it :p

It's a fat bastard smoking a pipe.... me

Well, Iron Heroes does this. You can resist Intimidate with Intimidate, or a Level+Wis check. My "problem" with this, is that it makes Intimidate very valuable, and skill points are not that easy to come by in D&D. I guess the best way to handle it is to give everybody a Posture (for lack of a...

Agreed. I'm thinking this is more a tool for GMs to run NPCs than something to screw with PC decision-making. In any case, Pbratender, I just figured out what you were saying when you refered it to the demoralize rules: The opposed check should be a level check, and not a Will save. If that's...

I would (and do) play in settings like you describe, usually when I'm playing Iron Heroes. Makes playing faithful characters more interesting when clerics aren't there to prove the existence of their gods.

Oh, I can agree with that justification. Iguess my problem is moer with low wisdom characters. It's just that it's always bothered me that my dumb as a doorbell barbarian, who's acted recklessly all his life, will be the first to run away from a dragon, while Mistador the Coward, a wizard, will not.

I agree that morale as a mechanic for NPCs and monsters is something sorely lacking in 3.x I'm concerned on how heroic it would be if the PCs had to face morale as well though. In any case, it's always bothered me that the wiser you are, the less likely you are to run away in D&D, when in my...

Sorry. :o I've found this thread really entertaining and educating. Well, all the problems you have with hitpoints are solved by True20. It allows for non-escalating toughness but allows for escalating defense.* In D&D hitpoints and AC are amismash of toughness and dodging ability, making...

Chill out man. Maybe if you hadn't posted in a condescending manner in the first place, this whole incident would have been avoided. What snark? Were exactly was I insisting on any rules? In any case I'd hardly take the rules bickering of ENWorld as evidence of any forthcoming changes. I...

which is whay I like it the most. seems perfect as a handout for the players.

Which doesn't change the fact that you were slamming someone for improper understanding of the rules. Personally, I agree with you: mechanically speaking PA is just a way to trade accuracy for damage. IMO it should be a core ability (like it is in IHs through attack challenges). Functionally...

I found this line particularly amusing considering that you were basing your argument on a rogue taking Power Attack to use with his knife, something patently impossible based on the rules.

Yup. APAATT is my standard giant setting as well. With Two-handed weapons. Made on of my PCs in my Silver Marches campaign really enjoy his Elusive Target feat from CW.
