I'm sure the argument over the TOS is very interesting, bud does anyone have anything to say about this question: Bueller? Bueller?

I'd be wary of posting stuff there for this reason as well, except that I rarely post my house rules, and mostly spend my time bickering over rules arguments and alignment threads. :D Is there anything that the Gleemax boards provide that ENWorld doesn't already? For those of you who post to...

Metaphor. The choice of turning right or left in the dungeon is symbolic of the player's choice of what to do. The point was to provide an example where the players both had no way to effect a difference upon the outcome of their decision and be aware of that fact. Was the example deficient to...

You don't care for builds? Does the idea that allowing a someone to labor at something you know you won't allow, but don't tell them, seem fair? Would you be upset having spent tens of thousands of dollars installing a pool in your back yard, only to have the bureaucrat in charge of backyard...

I'm curious how you define railroading, or actually, the lack thereof. The DM tells you the party approaches a T-intersection in a dungeon. You may choose to go left or right. Choosing to go left or right will take you to different parts of the dungeon. The DM tells you the party approaches a...

It cheats the player out of his expectations. He expects his three-of-a-kind to beat a pair and he will act accordingly. If the DM decides on a whim that a pair wins, he has deceived the player; if the player had known that a pair wins, he would have played the game differently. This can happen...

Welcome to the boards! Well, here are your options: You can't advance your Monk levels because of the multiclassing rule, so they stay where they are. Advancing Assassin or Rogue levels will essentially be the same; Assassin gets you a few spells and bonuses versus poison, Rogue gets you...

The retort of course being: "Unlike the situation in England, in Scotland only the female sheep are nervous." :D

The damage-undead variant was made for simplicity's sake; instead of looking up the rules every time you want to Turn Undead, just do 1d6 damage per cleric level, Will for half. That part of it is elegant. But to be truly elegant it should work just as well for the Evil clerics who used to...

Railroading is a necessary GOOD! *ahem*. Heh. Sorry. I've may be reading TwentySided too often lately.

Here's one of my old PCs, slightly tweaked. Gosh I loved playing this guy. Snervlyn N Gnoll Ranger 2 / Druid 3 The Crunch HD: 7d8+28 (63) Initiative: +7 Speed: 30 Armor Class: 19 (Dex +3, Natural Armor +1, +1 Studded Leather +4, Deflection +1) Base Attack/Grapple:+5, +14 Attack: Fist +10...

I suppose you missed the part where I mentioned I was able to hurl ~10 greataxes at an opponent without artificially manipulating the environment. Would you care to question the logistics?

A friend with 3 young kids thinks this is exactly what DDM is designed to do. The rules in D&D are fairly complex, with the combat rules being the most so. If DDM softens the rules up a bit and gets the kids attached to the miniatures they've been playing with since they were 7, that may very...

In the Conan RPG by Mongoose two sorcerers (their catch-all word for casters) can enter into a "War of Souls". Nothing flashy happens, it's simply mind against mind. Conan's magic system is a power-point system so it wouldn't translate exactly to D&D, but it should be easy enough to mod. I love...

If A has a problem with B and acts upon it you should not only ask, "Is what A did wrong", but also, "What did B do that upset A". So don't be suprised that the DM's ruling are being questioned; they could be germane to the issues you're having with Butosei. In your last post you said he...

Why? I doubt the new guys would be interested in how you kill your NPCs. Sorry, mate. Working, grad classes, girlfriend, and the current game keeps me fairly busy. Good luck.

He asked you a civil question about the rules; you said he has a habit of changing rules as he likes. How was delericho attacking him? Have you talked to him?

If notjer hasn't talked to him face to face yet, which we don't know if he's done, do you think he'd tell him about this thread? You would condemn him for not showing up in a thread which he has no knowledge of? And if he did, do you think he'd really feel welcome in a thread where people who...

You're running a one-on-one game? That's part of the trouble. D&D is a group game, and if there's only actual PC, or even two PCs run by one player, then they're going to suffer from a lack of character abilities. The campaign has to be tailored to match what they can do. If what you're trying...
