If calling something "Evil" isn't a moral judgment, then what happened to: e-vil -adjective 1. Morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked If you decide to strip "evil" of its meaning, don't blame the game for being "relativistic", because you're the one that made it that way. There is nothing...

If they were all equally valid they wouldn't be "Good" and "Evil", they'd be "Good" and "Differently Perspectived Good". They have an ultimate Truth: Orcus is and will always be Chaotic Evil. He's never going to be living on Mt. Celestia. D&D defines it terms. Evil is Evil. Good is Good. They...

Sundragon, I think you have arrived at the idea that the Great Wheel is morally relativistic by perverting the definition of moral relativism. Take a Good act. A moral absolutist will tell you that a Good act is a Good act is a Good act. There is a yardstick which applies to everyone at all...

Summon Monster III will qualify as a [Fire] spell. Would an Earth spell not qualify for Acid? I know the element and the energy were linked in 3.0.

Nonsense. The party and recruiting took place in one of "M" Street's most reputable Gentlemen's Clubs. Apparently the girls thought his accent was "cute". And I'm sorry I missed last night, but my buddy convinced me to go get rained on at FedEx field for not even a whole game.

Justin, I agree with you for a few reasons. One, items are a source of power and to a large extent they are common or rare on a campaign-to-campaign basis; I think that is going to be very hard to write out of the rules system. Secondly, I want my Ogre Slaying Knife with a +9 versus Ogres...

.... another successfully necromanced thread ....

Ha! Serves me right for not checking in sooner. To answer those Q's: He'd be early 20's. Head shorn bald. Scarification on shoulders and arms. Tatoos on wrists and across chest. The weapons look well worn and something adventurers could easily get their hands on. Thanks, again. I look forward...

If I can't have an Ogre Slaying Knife that's +9 against ogres, I don't want to play it.

Monday night at the 'Skeller? What's the word?

"4d6 drop lowest, arranged to suit you" Hmmm... It just doesn't have the same panache.

Your entire argument crashed down to the sweet licks of Whitesnake. Bon Jovi then came along and kicked your point in the junk.

Nothing *needs* changing, but I imagine you'll see a big push to SIMPLIFY SIMPLIFY SIMPLIFY. That would of course open the door for supplements to EXPAND EXPAND EXPAND. I'll stick to 3.5, thanks. Armor makes you harder to hit hurt. Does that make you feel any better?

I don't want to change to 4e. What I don't look forward to is the split in the forums; 3.5 is a fine game, but no longer will its proponents have anything new and shiny to get excited about. Sure, all my stuff still works, but when 4e folks come along saying, "Hey, look at this!" I'll have...

From a board standpoint, House Rules would be the best home for this thread. From a balance standpoint, it is far beyond any meaning of game balance I can think of. Naturally so, since it's modeled after "I have Power Level of 15!" anime. Left as is, I would tell any player who wanted it that...

Babelfish, here we come!

Thank God! Do you know how much trouble I had trying to translate "Base Fortitude Saving Throw Bonus" to my Chinese friends I was trying to introduce to the game? Go Team China! Jia-you!

They scale to 15d6 because they're 4th level but are confined to a single target. [Force] damage can cross the ethereal barrier; it will hit all manner of ghoulies and ghosties. It also does not have an associated energy resistance. It is very rare for enemies to have Sonic resistance, except...

I just thought I'd make sure we're on the same page here. The save does not affect the elemental damage. These spells will do their full elemental damage when they hit, and they will hit often relative to how often people will save versus "Reflex: Half" spells: touch AC does not scale like saves...

Is this the general perception? If so I must be out of touch; archery has always been a very effective combat style in games I've played in and run.
