Well I haven't seen a blade of pure sound, but I have a vibroblade at home. Actually it's an exotic weapon with three blades and the power source in the handle. Yes, it's my razor. Somebody at Gillette reads too many GURPS supplements. :D

Which makes perfect sense. The guy got the "formula" from Scotty in 86, started doing research and presented it to the pentagon, and 20 years later it can be produced in large enough quantities to be commercially viable. :D

Sorry for responding to my own post... Masleh: I will need a little info about the available Aberrant dragonmarks. If there's one in particular you want me to take, that's fine. The SLA I'll get from it will probably be a lot less interesting than the social/political fallout. :) I...

Lucas closes his eyes again and his perspective rushes down the shaft. As it passes the lower platform, Lucas notices that there is a bridge across the shaft at this point, leading to a side chamber. His magically-enhanced vision shows that the side chamber seems to contain over a dozen rude...

At a glance I'd say very little overlap at all (and since your character is much better put together I'd be the one to change anyway :) ). All good. Masleh, I'll go ahead and make my dragonmark public. When you're a sorcerer from another dimension, it's all about the notoriety. :)

Not bad for an off-the-cuff estimate. ;)

What really bugs me about it is that in the movie Scotty says something to the effect that it'll take the guy 20 years to figure out how to manufacture it. WHat year did that movie come out again? :)

Erethinol steps lithely down the slope to the floor of the large chamber. She quickly finds some convenient stalagmites off to the left (toward the chamber where the spiders came from) and vanishes behind them. Ery can now see the other chamber a bit better, and it appears to be another...

I've modified my character, removing Energy Substitution in favor of the feat we discussed. I also added a familiar and modified the character appropriately. I took a hawk familiar, but I was wondering if I could do something a little different. In my game world I have a critter called a...

Oh, sorry. Go ahead and update. Your highly detailed description above is good enough for me. :D I'll get the details tonight and make a note so I can reference them in play.

For any effect that would normally be save or die, a failed save instead reduces you to negative 1d8 HP and Dying status (basically the house rule Xor referred to in the original post, but slightly less nasty). Your friends have to reach you quickly in order for you to live. I have death occur...

I wouldn't bother. This is the opposite of abusive stacking. You have a character spending skill points to broaden his skill, but his modifier never goes up from it. If you want to have a 6th-level rogue who has a +11 modifier in Knowledge(Local) for 10 different regions, then I say more...

I think this is a great idea. It's reminding me of something else, but I can't call it to mind. Maybe a GURPS mechanic of some kind? Whatever, consider it yoinked. Thanks. And just to clarify, the ranks you buy to broaden the skill don't count against your max, right? So if I wanted to...

But in my game, there is no Raise Dead, etc. (except in certain weird circumstances). So I use a negative 1d8 and dying, plus you don't actually die until you reach -Con. But once you're dead, that's it.

No problem. Actually I think it's kind of a weird rule. Maybe it should be controlled by the casting stat of whoever made the item. So if it's a wizard's wand it would be Int, a cleric's scroll would be Wis, etc. That way you would tend to specialize in the kind of magic you would be...

No, I didn't see that. Lots of posts on this thread and I missed it. I've read it now, and I think it's a great idea! Do you want me to sblock the feat in question on my character sheet? :) I'll read the stuff you linked and write up my background appropriately. Very cool. Great. Thanks...

So are you clicking on the bodies to loot them? The loot doesn't appear on the ground next to them, you have select one of your characters (it has to be a PC, not an NPC like Elmo) then click on a body to loot it. Sometimes it's hard to find the right spot, but I find if I click on the body's...

Ok, here's what I've got so far, mechanically. Description, background, etc. to follow. Couple of non-standard things: I took the Craft Wand feat and took a wand at half GP cost. If that's not OK, let me know and I'll do something else. I also tried to cheap out on a spell effect on the...

Sweet. You'll be a righteous smitin' machine in size 6 plate mail. I love it. I have Complete Warrior, but not here. I'll look up the feats tonight but I don't remember them being especially broken.

Ok, that is one dead ettercap! :) What next?
