    What element would "radiation" be?

    You could always rule it as an AoE poison that deals con and str damage.

    Worst miniature paint job evAr! Get it off the table!

    It would appear to me that the behaviour on both yours and his counts borders on childish. The Player appears to be expressing frustration with the fact that he is less than skilled with regards to painting a mini. Adding the BBs shows that he certainly has the imagination but lacks the...

    Linking CHA and Beauty

    How's about this idea? when creating your character, you, as a player, get to arbitrarily decide what the actual charisma stat stands for. The character can be uglier than sin or hotter than the hinges of Hell. They can have strength of personality or be stunningly shy. They can be the...

    the power of a good illustration

    With all due respect, if I was DMing a character that had a total facial amputation, I would apply a charisma penalty until such time as the damage was corrected. whether you like it or not, physical attractiveness is a fundamental but not overwhelming part of Charisma. True, personality...

    the power of a good illustration

    WRT the picture, sure she's good looking, but there may be other factors that would seriously affect her charisma rating such as: maybe she is a drooling mouthbreather. maybe she has an annoying habit of whistling when she breathes through her nose. maybe she whines incessantly. perhaps she...

    Dictionaraoke

    Yes that's right, you read it correctly. Basically people have taken standard songs and parodied them by using online audio dictionaries to "sing" the lyrics. Quite funny. www.dictionaraoke.org

    PrC True Disciple (incomplete)

    Throughout the multiverse, there have been many deities and these deities have had followers. Most have been normal people, striving to adhere to the rules set down by their respective gods. Some have become clerics and priests. Devout followers who can, with prayer, channel the divine energies...

    I HATE the term GISH

    Gish, Pally, Barbar, skelly... it all smacks of linguistic laziness to me.

    Why do you love/hate Drizzt?

    I have read almost all of Bob's novels, and I must state that although I enjoy the stories, my problem is mostly with the way the protagonists are written. Drizzt mostly, and to a lesser extent his other story heroes, seem too perfect to me. I understand that they ARE hero characters, but they...

    The Gift of Prophecy

    You are welcome to use it. I posted it here with that in mind. I tried to make it as open to interpretation as possible for two reasons, it allows the GM to build a campaign according to their own vision, and it also serves to confound the PCs so they have to work to find the solutions to the...

    The Gift of Prophecy

    I had a fit of inspiration last night and came up with a prophecy that could be used in a wicked campaign. I got the idea after looking at the various post apocalypse and undead threads. Bear in mind that I had D20 Modern in mind when I wrote this down but it is easily adaptable to any time...

    Interesting trend in comics (OOTS, etc.)

    I would think the "Iron Porpoise" would be a really cool reality TV show that pitted various cetaceans against each other in multiple tests of endurance and skill.

    Not-so happy Valentine's Day

    Dude, I feel your pain. Your story (with a few minor differences) is almost exactly like what happened to me a couple of years back. 8 years together. she breaks it off without warning the day before our anniversary and a week before my birthday. be glad it was civil. It could have been much...

    Post Apocalyptic Gaming

    another book that you might enjoy (and possibly steal ideas from for a campaign) is There Will Be Dragons by John Ringo. Basically a hyper advanced year 4000 AD technology dependent civilization is plunged overnight into the iron age. Very similar to Dies the Fire except that people before the...

    Post Apocalyptic Gaming

    I love the post apocalypse genre. Anything from Stephen King to Terry Brooks to S. M. Stirling to Robert McCammon. I would even like to play in a PA setting. I had an interesting idea about a game set in Apocalypse : Day 1. What would your character do if they woke up to the end of the world?

    I think I've created a Monster!!!

    The only problem with the tables as they are written that I can see is that under ideal conditions, the most expensive item that could be purchased (using the -24 buyer modifier) would be about 142000 GP (adjusted to 99400 by the .7 modifier) based on the maximum GP value allowed of 100000 GP on...

    StoneShape

    Weighing in a little late on this one... If one wants to argue if a mortared wall constitutes a "single piece of stone" or not really depends on what one considers to be "stone". would a piece of sandstone qualify? or conglomerate which is a sedimentary rock made up of pieces of varying sizes...

    Anna Nicole Smith has died!

    Maybe it was the Trimspa?

    Why doesn't "precision damage" affect Undead?

    If you really want to add a special rule for critting undead, why not tie it into a special Knowledge: Undead skill check. Maybe DC 10 + CR of target. Another option would be to allow crits on an undead but only after the character spends 1 or 2 rounds studying the target for a weakness...
