    How to roleplay Int 6?

    Very. Slowly. Just kidding. It appears that he is an overall strong character except that he is not very bright. I'd suggest someone who is very patient and at the same time slow in making decisions. He has a Wisdom of 15, so he is quite perceptive about his surroundings and the situation...

    The role of Clerics and Paladins in medieval europe

    Re: Well I don't have a problem with anything I've posted here except again I'd change "most" to "many". Anyhow, there were "many" priests and knights who struggled during the Middle Ages ("some" even begging for or demanding food from equally impoverished peasants who did not this parasitic...

    Banshee...

    Yes, but theoretically you could create any creature out of a these templates, too. Some people don't want to do that. Personally, I'd rather have a book full of creatures detailed with their particular stats and background information, not a bunch of templates to "work off of". I'm not saying...

    The role of Clerics and Paladins in medieval europe

    Ah, so this person thinks that what you posted shouldn't be up there. Why? Do you regret anything you had said? Well, I think it would be better to show others how you respond to posts with foul language and illogical arguments. Good luck on your book! :)

    The role of Clerics and Paladins in medieval europe

    Yep, you insist on being "accurate" while others are "inaccurate." I don't accept apologies from people who don't mean it. Anyhow, the fact that you refer to a single book to explain something is why I suggested that you seem to rely on a mono-perspective viewpoint. Please calm down-- your...

    I'll look forward to your Book of Templates when it comes out, Colonel Hardisson. :rolleyes:

    Banshee...

    A Banshee is not the same as a Ghost-- it has its own flavor and setting. The banshee is a female ("ban") fairy ("shee" or "sidhe") who cries when one of the old families of Celtic lineage is about to pass. Each banshee has an adopted family and will follow and watch over the descendants...

    Please rate this spell list

    I don't have those modules with me right now, but I'm familiar with the series so maybe I can help. Anyhow, it seems like you've designed this spell list to support the PC's in the party. If you want him to help the party in that way, then the list looks fine to me. Whatever makes the adventure...

    Please rate this spell list

    A lot of these spells look like Cleric spells to me. What module is this? Which character? What are the goals you want to achieve for him? I'd get a more "elven" and "wizard" spell list that includes more charm and offensive-type spells like Charm Person and Fireball. He'll need some offensive...

    Banshee...

    I'd make my own Banshee if I were you. That Banshee was clearly pumped up to provide more high-level encounters in Monster Manual 2. Doesn't it have a Challenge Rating of 20 or something like that? Geez.

    The role of Clerics and Paladins in medieval europe

    I'm getting the impression that you're the type of person who likes to brag and put down others to feel better about yourself. It shows poor form when when you post statements like this: "In fact the majority of your post that i quoted above is incorrect enough that i'd recomend picking up a...

    The role of Clerics and Paladins in medieval europe

    Yes, I understand that you weren't saying that this was the actual history. But what I'm trying to point out to you is that this was, in some instances, far from the case. If you want a more "realistic" game, then you'll have to take a wider and more diverse perspective on the issue of priests...

    The role of Clerics and Paladins in medieval europe

    If you're trying to get a more "real" medieval feel for your D&D game, then I'd also have to say that the primary duty of priests and monks during the middle ages was not healing but education. They were probably the most learned group of people in the population. Indeed, few people were really...

    The role of Clerics and Paladins in medieval europe

    I'd, in turn, recommend reading books besides those suggested by one RPG writer you happen to like. The Gies books are not the "bible" of Medieval Times. I own nearly all of them and I have to say they're quite good introductory books, but relying on any single source can be dangerous. Try going...

    "(D&D)... game that launched a million junior high school wedgies."-- Time

    I don't like the way the writer made everything fantasy sound pretty cool and "in" now, except for D&D though. It would have been better if he had done some research into how there is a new revival with 3rd edition rules and d20/OGL and the increasing diversity in the player population (partly...

    "(D&D)... game that launched a million junior high school wedgies."-- Time

    One interesting thing the article suggests is that there may be a flood of fantasy-oriented entertainment products (such as films) in the near future. To me, this means that there will be a lot of junk that will likely lead to a backlash. Get ready for the mid/late 80's again.

    The role of Clerics and Paladins in medieval europe

    Many priests and knights during the Middle Ages had to beg for food from the villagers. They were often viewed as parasites and frequently spat on when they came panhandling for alms and such. Most of them wore rags for clothing and starved during the winter months. Some, on the other hand...
