    Druidic Staff

    My current BBEG has a staff of about a dozen evil druids. It used to be much larger, but most of them got killed when... ...oh, wait. Nevermind.

    What is Final Fantasy all about?

    I've played 7, 8, 9, 10 and 10-2. Among those, IMO - 7 is the best by far and one of the best CRPGs period, 8 would be good but suffers from a really stupid magic system, 9 is good, 10 is very good and the second best, 10-2 is unremarkable and the worst. I would kill someone for a FF7 remake on...

    HELP!!! God of War - STUCK in the Challenge of Hades

    I finished the game, but I didn't do anything special there. It was much harder than the first two, but not impossible by any mean. Sorry I can't help.

    Rogues stealing from their own party

    I can handle PCs that steal from my PCs no problem, depending on the relationship between the two characters. The fact that the offender will have to make another PC is certain; the only question is whether his old PC will be unusable because the party no longer wants him, because he's in jail...

    Should 4th ed be point and level based?

    Do what? Kill stacking bonuses proliferation, curb powergaming, force better mechanic design, or limit situations where multiple modifiers apply? Anyway, for all four issues, I don't see how point vs. level could have an influence, either positive or negative. In the end, whether you got Dodge...

    Should 4th ed be point and level based?

    It should be just as it is now, except that stacking and conditional modifiers should be massively reduced. Bonus types should be reduced, unnamed bonuses should be eliminated, creation of new bonus types should be explicitly discouraged, and no bonus type should stack. For example, all spells...

    Equality in the DnD world

    Usually, there is no sexism, though cultures may vary. I reason that all D&D worlds have dozens of different intelligent creatures, and that racism and sexism lose their spark when speciesism is so much more interesting. ;)

    Pizza. Do you call it 'pie'?

    Yup! That's what the fire in the oven is for, after all. Modern pizza ain't that ancient, you know. ;) Not everything in Europe has a thousand years. :lol:

    Explain Magic: The Gathering

    While we're talking about card games - check out Vampire: the Eternal Struggle. It's a second generation game, when compared to Magic; it fixes some of the (few) structural problems of the first. V:tES can be played by an arbitrary number of people, works fine without the four-card limit, and...

    Explain Magic: The Gathering

    No, I have't heard about "Magic: the Dungeoning"; honestly, I never heard about this derivation theory at all, except in a strictly humoristic sense or as a way of unsubstantiated mockery from 3.X bashers. I do disagree that feats and cards are similar. The only thing they have in common is the...

    Need an interesting barbarian idea

    That does it, I'm retiring my Ravenloft bladesinger to make this character. :lol:

    Demonic Lore

    Check out the Abyssal Campaign linked in my sig. Plenty of Abyssal everything there - stat blocks for several unique beings, new layers, characters, one or two spells, plenty of background, and more.

    Barbarian/bard. Playing heavy metal. :cool:

    Explain Magic: The Gathering

    You can make a deck with rares only, but this won't help much by itself. Rarity isn't directly related to power; you generally won't find a rare card that is exactly the same as another common one but better. Rather, good rare cards tend to produce specialty effects that can't be replicated...

    Pizza. Do you call it 'pie'?

    The only true pizza is Italian style, baked in a wood-fire oven. All other pizzas are a pale imitation of the real thing. :cool:

    D&D 4E UPDATE on 4e

    That would spoil the fun of guessing, of course! :D

    Musiclovers beware! [UPDATED!]

    I have been thinking that for a long time already. Fair Use is being eroded, and not too slowly either.

    Explain Magic: The Gathering

    My brother actually made money playing Magic. The trick lies in screwing everyone else mercilessly in trades. :]

    Explain Magic: The Gathering

    Minimum 60. You can have more, but it is generally considered best to have as few as possible, to reduce randomness. You want to minimize randomness in a good deck. A greater variety of colors means that you have a far greater chance of drawing cards that require a type of mana you don't have at...
