    Okay, 'fess up

    Yep, definitely re-make the old favorites. Not only that, but I'll do different "versions" of characters I'm currently playing, just to see how they'd work as a different class/race. I think I have a problem. :blush:

    Why the beer hate? (Forked Thread: What are the no-goes...)

    Yeah, that's the kind of thing that can REALLY screw ya, right there. Of course, being across the street from two churches and a school didn't stop me and my roommates. That was college, though. :)

    Why the beer hate? (Forked Thread: What are the no-goes...)

    Just a public service reminder: There is no such thing as badwrongfun. There IS such a thing as badwrongbeer. ;) I like to have a few beers sometimes, but mainly I don't drink during gaming. These days I can really only drink microbrews unless I'm being held upside down over a keg, so it...

    4E Power Creep--Forked Thread: As long as we are talking...

    Uh...I'm going to address the OP, if that's okay. :) I don't see any power creep in 4E, yet. I will say, though, having played a bevy of characters from both the PHB and PHB2, there might be some kind of...this is going to sound idiotic...some kind of "fun creep." The PHB2 classes just seem...

    hypathetical 5e from YOU...Forked Thread: Academic Studies Recent Edition Wars

    First of all, get rid of that pesky d20. We've had enough d20, it's time for something new. Something diceless, maybe like Amber's system. Also, let's get rid of classes. Classes suck. Instead, steal 4E's power source idea and have that be the jumping off point for people to build their...

    Psion to debut in July

    "Man, those psionic classes are WAY more balanced than any other class! That whole power-source is completely frickin' un-broken and useable. Lame move, WotC!" Maybe something like that. I never really cared about Psionics ever...nothing wrong with 'em, just not my thing. But just like...

    What's your damage?

    I always think of 1 point of damage as those inconsequential blows in a battle that leave a mark but don't really hinder the injured party appreciably. I'd say, OP, that you took at least one point of damage. Might as well go do an extended rest. ;)

    Academic Studies Recent Edition Wars

    Still, they'll know that if they doggedly pursue a lawsuit against Paizo or whoever, they'll lose some of their existing base as well. It'd be stupid, and they won't do it unless they have a glaringly good reason. Also, how did they write off Pathfinder players before Pathfinder even existed...

    Teleporting Weenies from Hell

    Introduce a rival party of adventurers who ALSO teleport a lot, watch hilarity ensue. Maybe some kind of Eladrin "special ops" team, hired by your big bad to take care of 'em.

    At-Wills. I like to do cool things all the time forever. :cool:

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Sneak Peeks (Old thread)

    Heh, I remember playing a Beguiler and just spamming the crap out of Glitterdust at higher levels. That spell could do no wrong...unless one of my allies happened to be in the AoE. :) Seriously, though, it needed a nerf. That, or the blinded condition needed a nerf.

    How do you Build your Character?

    I find a concept that interests me, either from my own imagination or from an outside influence. I then do a good amount of research on the concept, and eventually figure out the best personality and what-not to accompany the concept, and what would fit well with the party. For example, I...

    WotC 4E D&D bloat (was Forked Thread: Pathfinder (PFRPG) bloat)

    Which is why 3pp is fairly risky, as is retailing. 's the name of the game. :)

    4E, as an anti-4E guy ...

    So you...don't want consequences for your actions? :confused:

    Revenant up

    I figured since the Devas reincarnate, they have even more of a chance to gain the RQ's attention. She could promise them a "quick" release from their immortality if they accomplish something in this lifetime. Or, she saves a fallen Deva from becoming a Rakshasa by giving him/her one last...

    Revenant up

    Nothing stops a player from choosing Deva as the Rev's Past Life, though...feels to me like it's a stupid omission. Warforged, but no Deva?

    In Praise of Stuff that Doesn't Get Praised Enough

    Heartfelt praise to those players/characters that spend a good amount of time asking other characters for their opinions/ideas, or just to share a story. It almost always leads to good fun and great RP. Good individual character development is, in my opinion, a team effort.

    The Revenant DDI exclusive race

    The Cleric and Invoker better watch out with their Turn/Rebuke Undead, then!

    What would you like to see 3rd parties produce for 4E?

    The Big Book 'O At-Will Powers. Hundreds of At-Will powers. THOUSANDS of 'em. Far as the eye can see. Also, something along the lines of Paizo's alternative crit rules, maybe. Replacing the extra damage from Implements/Weapons to something else. Although I have no clue how one would do...
