    Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA OOC Thread (ToEE) - ATTENTION PLAYERS!

    Heh, ya big softie :blush: Someone else called me that lately. Maybe it'll catch on?

    D&D 3.x 3.5 E, older D&D and Pathfinder. What do D&D vets think of pathfinder

    Like that last bit about the constructs DA, so to borrow something from Arcanis, how about this for a fairly straightforward way to handle it that doesn't add much overhead: create a new special ability for monsters called something like 'Protected' (or something more descriptive!) - undead...

    Arcana Evolved: The Tale of the Crystal Princess

    The dragon roared in pain as the knight's lance pierced the scales beneath its wing. It drew its mighty head back and unleashed a gout of flame that threatened to engulf the armoured figure, forcing him to crouch behind his great shield for protection, When the inferno had passed, the warrior...

    [pfrpg] follow me into shadows

    Seems a trifle unlikely that the key is going to be lying around for us to find, but just to confirm: someone has looked in the pool and the bowl and seen nothing? A second (good) look will tick them off as suspects. There were no other notable places described apart from the pillars themselves...

    [Interest check] High fantasy Wushu...with a twist!

    Sorry folks, eye off the ball this week thanks to lots on at work. It's mostly for my benefit. My Wushu experience up to now has been half a dozen posts in another game so I want to get a feel for how it runs first. The biggest worry I have is actually how it will cope with a fairly rigidly...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 E, older D&D and Pathfinder. What do D&D vets think of pathfinder

    I bought Trailblazer on a whim, and it has sat in my 'big folder of things Grufflehead has bought but never got further than flicking through'. Time to have a proper look at it and see what it's all about. Wandering away from the original topic, but I was thinking about it as I was making...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 E, older D&D and Pathfinder. What do D&D vets think of pathfinder

    Good point about Evasion, although they are not the only class to get that feature. As far as Balancing on a cloud, without trawling through the books for numbers I'd suggest that by the time you were high enough level to do that, not only would you have used a hefty chunk of skill points (and...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 E, older D&D and Pathfinder. What do D&D vets think of pathfinder

    Although I haven't read beyond chapter 3, ENWorld's own War of the Burning Sky certainly has some different elements and challenges to it. Whether they can keep that up as the levels increase I'll have to see. From past experience, I'd put good money on Rite Publishing having a damn good go at...

    The Sunless Citadel [IC1]

    'I didn't really learn anything either' said Brunhilde ruefully. 'So much for keeping a low profile; time to try the direct approach!'. She gets up and wanders over to a group sitting at one of the other tables. 'Hello' she says, 'do you live here? Have you seen my sister? She was here a month...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 E, older D&D and Pathfinder. What do D&D vets think of pathfinder

    The following is written from the perspective of someone who has played every edition of D&D apart from the very original box, who was happy to support Paizo by buying the Pathfinder Core Rules (and will buy the APG when it comes out) and for whom it is still likely to be the go to system for...

    The Sunless Citadel [IC1]

    After her bath, Brunhilde heads down to the common room for dinner. She eats a hearty meal, but turns down the offer of alcohol in favour of a mug of apple juice. She proceeds to down several more over the course of evening, but is content to sit and listen to the chatter rather than risk...

    Looking for magic items with 'quirks'

    Wand of Unseen Servant. Except instead of conjuring a 'mindless, shapeless force' it actually summons an elderly gnomish butler, complete with outfit, who is an Expert 1 with lots of typical butler skills (Profession:butler, Knowledge:Nobility:Etiquette etc) and under the effects of an...

    [pfrpg] follow me into shadows

    Reminds me of all those kids shows of my childhood with an intelligent animal companion 'What's that Skipper? Timmy's fallen down the well again? Stupid little *$&^!'

    The Four Lands Forum

    Adding to the condolences JA. I did ask people a while back what they were planning on playing, but omitted to ask which game they planned on applying for. I'd happily play both as I'm not too heavily committed game-wise right now. OK if I mail you with a bunch of ideas and let you pick which...

    [pfrpg] follow me into shadows

    However will I explain that to the others!? Save vs the cold 1d20+7=23 - that's something at least A worried look crosses Renya's face as if a horrible realisation has come over her. Rather than adding branches to the smouldering pile of tinder, she brushes the twigs aside, and reaches...

    The Sunless Citadel [IC1]

    'Oooh' coos Brunhilde 'hot water. Luxury!' She rubs her hands together eagerly - for a moment the spiky, spunky halfling woman seems to melt a little at the prospect of a hot bath. 'You know' she says to Gregor, 'for a stuffed shirt you're all right sometimes'. She gives him a friendly wink...

    Oh, I could probably choose a few things, but this is just too juicy a chance to say: Sneak Attack Now where did I put my asbestos troos...?
