I was in a group once upon a time that had two members that began to agitate for "never saying anything out of character", etc, etc and called anything that anyone said out of character a "detraction." There was discussion about xp penalties, etc. etc, and much of the talk was leveled at yours...

KoK PG It's Kenzer rather than WoTC but the Forest Gnome in the KoK PG has a +2 to wisdom and charisma and a -2 to Str. I acutely disagree with the posts that say a bonus to intelligence or charisma is more important than a bonus to strength. Mental stats only affect specific classes to any...

Can't we all just get along? I can certainly see where this could cause derision! The difficult thing is just like the wizard is not "entitled" to the bard's ring, the bard is not "entitled" to the wizard's item creation (which do cost the wizard experience) or his buff spells. My suggestion...

The flat footed until initiative rule is a hugely important balancing factor in the high dex/light armor versus low dex/heavy armor battle. It also lets rogues do some kind of damage in a fight as sneak attack only by flanking requires tactics that some parties are not up to and allowing sneak...

Avoid combat but be able to fight when necessary It sounds, based on the personality profile you described, that you are looking for a character that will avoid combat when possible but will fight well and honorably when combat is unavoidable. You might want to think about Paladin, as the...

I think most of my characters in my adult life have been secretly (or not so secretly...) inspired by songs by the likes of Stevie Nicks and Kate Bush. With Stevie you have all the witchy women you could wish for, inspired by songs like: "Rhiannon" "Gypsy" "Sisters of the Moon" "Sorcerer"...

I didn't know there was a quintessential Witch book out...will have to check that out. I was working on an alternate core class for the witch but will check this book out before I worry about posting it. I think the witch as is in the DMG would be quite a bit underpowered due to the much...

D'oh! That teaches me to post without reading the entire thread, eh? Good suggestions by the way, although players who are not using item creation feats and spells that cost experience may feel "cheated."

Bard buffing I think the bard can do ok as is, provided a campaign is very social with only light combat. In a more adventure/combat oriented campaign, the slow spell progression, hindrance of casting in armor when you don't get that many spells per day to start with, low AC, and low hit...

Item Creation Feats and Spells that cost Exp? When you do a non-XP system, what do you do with item creation feats and spells that cost XP to use?

I would have to say depends... In my humble opinion, the cleric is just like nearly any other class. If played from a total min-maxed perspective, it can be powerful. If played from an average perspective, it is well balanced against the other classes. This also depends on the DM. The...

My current group has a rule that if you "abandon" a character out of dislike you enter with a new character "two levels lower" than the previous one. While I personally disagree with the rule it at least ensures that no one abandons a character on a whim. I am of the "fun" school of thought...

Generosity A very well thought out and articulate post so I just had to respond. I feel it is *important* to keep in mind that we are playing a game when we role play. I don't feel that recognizing it as a game necessarily minimizes or ruins it. In fact, the realization that it is a game can...

I went and reviewed the comments on your journal thingee and all I can say is....run, and don't look back. The responses from your own DM and his friends showed them to be quite nasty, and I don't mean that in a good way. Personally, I would be out of there like a boogar on a rubber band...

Amen to that. Corellon's image is quite disturbing. He reminded me more of a flower laden version of Marilyn Manson than of a gay guy.

*Raises hand* Oh, wait...never mind. I am horribly immature. ;-)

The term minority is most often used to represent what are referred to as "SEP" or "Social-Economic-Political" minorities rather than numerical minorities.

I would have to agree with the posts that mention that it is actually more intimidating to admit being a gamer in the gay community than being gay in the gaming community! I find in my own life, pretty much the order I admit my quirks in to new people are: 1) I am gay 2) I am pagan 3)...

Harbringer Hopefully, Harbringer will be back one day soon. It is Harbringer, though...no "s"!

Thanks for the input! I did utilize the shugenga model extensively to come up with the spells per day/spells known progression. However, I felt some of the balancing factor occured based on the spell list...the priest will have the cleric spell list, plus whatever domain spells are known, to...
