    Stop me from obliterating him!

    I used the standard PHB method for the players' stats. So the player actually chose to place the stats in this order. And he refused to the option to reroll. I'm just worried he'll be the silly annoying character that disrupts gameplay but that, since he is a PC, you loath to get rid of...

    Is there a creature you've always wanted to play?

    I'd go for a Visage, from 2e Dead Gods adventure for PlaneScape. But it would much too tough on on any DM...

    Stop me from obliterating him!

    Ok, so I'll start a new campaign pretty soon, and the palyers have made their characters. I've been pretty restrictive, for once, and said that I would do with wathever they came up, as long as it stayed within the limits I set up. One of the PCs will be a bard. I have no problem with bards...

    This is a Troll [meta-thread]

    Brun points at Nail to further his previously expressed point, which he quote in his entirity. He states, again, that canadian beer is the best, hoping deep down inside to start another flame war.

    This is a Troll [meta-thread]

    I play devil's advocate saying that the original poster might be kinda right, if his views were seen or interpreted in a slightly different (yet totally diverging) way. I then start ranting about how threads should go on for more than oe page, sice it discourages new posters to read everything...

    [OT] Expressing myself about Saturday's tragedy.

    Thank you RangerWicket. You kinda made me understand why people refer to these events as a tragedy. I do not want to offense anyone, nor to diminish or disrespect the way people feel, but before reading your post, I did not see why people refered to it as a tragedy. I am not good...

    Creative Spell Casting Stories

    I'll tell you of the time that my players screwed me. I was too kind with wish. But not any more! So the players managed to get their hands on a Robe of the archmage. There is no wizard in the party. Nor any arcane spellcaster. (Not even a divine spellcaster...) So, they are 5th level, and this...

    You nerf Haste... what now?

    Well, I haven't hade the chaceto look at the d20 Modern version of haste, but from wath I've heard, it is in line with the feel of "modern" magic. That is, a modern campaign, again, from wath I've seen and heard, is less magic-abundant than a fantasy one. So, modern haste might perfectly fine...

    [Mongoose] Weekly Armageddon 2089 developer's diary #3

    I'd really like to have a look at character creation. What is the impact of pilot vs Mek in a combat. That sort of things.

    What Makes a good ending to a campaign?

    I just ended my first 3e campaign. Some of the players were grumpy for a week about it and how it came to be, but now, they either accept it and are getting into their new characters or plainly love the ending. I'll try to make it short. TPK, almost. Here is the "a bit less short" version...

    How will 3.5E be presented?

    I agree that highlightiting the rules in the rulebooks is not a good choice, since it would be too confusing for first-time players. But wath I trully would like is a document, either included in the new books or compiled by someone else, that lists evething that has been change. Not the...

    Best and worst characters?

    Both best and worst are 2ed, since I've mostly DMed in 3ed games. Worst: I rolled great and got 2 18s. I made an half-elf cleric/wizard called SpellBlaster. Quite lame.... My best was called Piécette Tape-machin, which roughly traslate as Penny (coin) Thing-Basher. He was a thief, and a...

    Ramblings

    Yeah, sounds good, if done properly. I would imagine that the designers used something similar when building the classes, some "behind the scenes" work that we didn't see. The main trouble would be to define a cost for every and all "superpowers". And a bigger problem would be to find the...

    What NON-OBVIOUS stuff would you like to see in Revised?

    There's plenty of rule-stuff that has been suggested already, so I'll go in another area. I'd want more tips and help in creating a different setting in a the DMG. By different, I mean one that is not standard to what is presented as a typical fantasy world. What if I want a low-magic setting...

    [Not a Troll] An Honest Question (really) About Game Balance

    Rules, ultimately, are a tool, ora mean for peopleto understand each other. They are there to help de GM make wise decisions, wathever that means (balanced/unbalanced, fair/unfair). It is possible for people to get around a table and start a story, without any sort of dice or books or rules...

    [Not a Troll] An Honest Question (really) About Game Balance

    I think that it all depends on what you expect in a said RPG. For games based around novels or movies or the like (I'm thinking about StarWars), game balance is not as important, in my opinion, as being true to the concepts and ideas that made the original popular or unique. I'll always see...

    I'd need a quick answer...

    So, I have 20 minutes (and need a shower) and no books, and I want to know if damage reduction is affected by antimagic fields. I'm guessing no, but that would make my Balor, with access to this spell, all-mighty, no?
