I also would have left the costume at home... I understand it may have served as an attention-getter... but I would have commissioned a full-color vinyl sign with dragons and other standard fantasy instead.

Sci-Fantasy The other day I was thinking of this setting for a 4E campaign... It's fantasy, with a heavy dash of Sci-fi, and very much a points-of-light setting...

I'd play the Halfling archer, he sounds like an interesting character, although I would ask the DM if I could reskin the bow to make it a sling

Beautiful job Tazawa! The whole "Create NPCs as monsters" thing is one of my favorite parts of 4E! ...and the fact that I can't run the D&Di tools in Linux is my least favorite, but I digress

No? Small towns in the middle of expansive wilderness... constantly in danger of being attacked by bands of bandits or by savages (unfortunate implications, yes, but westerns were like that). Storys with a strong focus on independence and self-reliance, the heroes of D&D and Westerns alike...

In that case, wouldn't it be better to just add an "awesomeness bonus" to your character, and do away with those magic items entirely? For some of us, the whole "+1 to hit and damage" thing is boring and items that let you do "special" stuff once in a while are much more interesting. Even the...

I always suspected the long years of snide, dismissive comments from Mordenkainen, always belittling Rary's research, plus all those years of mercury fumes and lead cauldrons... He was bound to snap any day...;)

Back in the day, around 1992 or something like that, I remember designing a Spanish version of the AD&D 2nd edition and the Vampire The Masquerade character sheets in my 486 for my players (not all of whom spoke English well). I printed them out in my Dad's office and photocopied the hell of of...

I'm late to the discussion, so I'll lump a couple of responses on the same post: HEy! I am 1.70m tall, and everyone here understands when I say so! (but, then again, I am not in England, the US, Burma or Liberia :p) Duuude, you should see what White Wolf did with my country and city! (the...

Actually, the fifth "iconic" would have to be a striker... more parties have two or more strikers than those that have two or more leaders, in my experience. A Sorcerer or a Barbarian would round up the party nicely edit: I have just finished reading the round-by-round doc... And that D20...

My suggestions would be to read the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin (and from there, try to lower down the grittiness to taste ;)) Also, TVTropes to the Rescue!

WHAAAT?? :eek:

I like the primal power source since it save me a lot of work! See, me and my friend used to spend a lot of time and effort adapting the 3.5 rule-set to a homebrew world with lots of spirits and animistic beliefs (in this world, gods are spirits that became too large and bloated with worship)...

The old one was Wayne Reynolds trying to be Brom... I mean, its not Brom, but its nice that they tried. The new one... they didn't even tried. It's the Wayne Reynolds style that I have come to dislike since 3E

It's funny sad because its true

What about the "stupid monsters" in these immortal articles: Stupid Monsters someone was paid to make = the best job ever. Part 2:  Return to Moronic Monster Creek Or did someone republish the Duckbunny and the Armadillelefant?

Ok, now that the quest for titles has been covered, let me give you some TVTropes links about how to flesh out a character of this type and its relationship with the party... There are a lot of options, all of them fun in their own way... The good leaders: Colonel Badass - Television Tropes...

Ok, pretty much like in Forgotten Realms 1st edition, then

Stop feeding the trolls! Lets get back to the discussion! Can someone tells us more about the subdual mechanics? I vaguely remember them being in the old Forgotten Realms grey box, where it stated that some dragons could be persuaded to have a "duel" to a certain percentage of its total hp

Essence, Mana, etc... You mean like a liquid, measurable way to quantify magic or similar powers? I am sure we can find some examples... -- edit: I just remembered that I wanted to steal the whole "Orcs are shamanistic warriors" idea from WoW, but it turns out that, according to TVTropes...
