You do realize this has become a kindergarten argument about whether or not Monk beats Wizard? Also, the arguments on the side of the monk are looking worse by the second. Wizards cannot bend the rules but they have access to a very special set of rules that makes them very hard to beat in this...

Yeah, the cut-out artwork cards aren't huge, really. They can be handed out for demonstration. I thought about using them in the grid but they're a tad bit for medium beings. If they represent a large being, however, they're fine tokens. Also, since there is such good artwork for terrain, you...

I just wanted to share something I did today. Since my piles of bad and unusable and somewhat decent but unneeded Magic the Gathering cards had grown too big, I went through them and picked each card I found inspiring or suitable for D&D fantasy. I'd estimate I chose about a thousand cards. I...

D&D 3.5 all the way. Though I wouldn't object to a Pathfinder campaign and 4th edition is fun for a change. I need to put all the sourcebooks I own to good use, though. 50+ 3.5 books is no joke to have lying around.

Ok, i concede that point: they're not overpowered. However, design-wise they seem a bit clunky and abnormal when compared to the standard bonuses races allow for. Feats are often reserved for clearly monstrous races and even they gain ones which represent some physical, not trained capability...

I'd say that is a bit overpowered. Especially if you consider it as a player race. The way I'd put it is: replace the Weapon Focus with a simple bonus like the one they had with thrown weapons prior. Now it's crossbow-based. Rapid reload is mostly important at mid to high levels when they gain...

But my hypothesis is that if the OP is committing any of the geek social fallacies, the main reason he feels like **** is because he feels that he has the duty in question and that he has committed a crime against it. Of course the reason he feels like this might as well be that has breached...

Most definitely the multiverse of Magic the Gathering. Not just Dominaria like a previous poster but things like Zendikar, Alara, Kamigawa, Mirrodin and (oh yes) Ravnica. I've tried emulating the feel of some of these planes in my own games but I really, really like the official fluff and would...

While I'm not informed on the specifics, I believe the following link includes some good advice: Five Geek Social Fallacies Basically, not everyone needs to be friends just because they share a hobby. In this case Flumph was brought in by a friend (strike one, he didn't understand the...

Yup, I managed to sneak it in his world-building by lending him Eberron Campaign Setting when he came to me for material. Besides, Artificers thrive on resources. We will start at level 1 and probably be starved for them for quite some time. I'm not optimizing either: it'll be a Dwarf who'll...

Discussed this with the DM and he agreed that the elite array is a better choice than his original example/plan. It seems that there was something of a mix-up earlier as I am sure he said "1000gc to reach level 2" while the system he'll be using is actually what was described here. Which reminds...

Just sent him the ideas presented here and reminded him about player satisfaction. Oh, and I'd never troll: it's bad manners. Especially when it'd basically mean pissing in a cereal bowl from which your friends and you yourself eat. Dissatisfaction can be conveyed better by boycotting (as in...

Not yet. I started it last night (it was night in Finland). Besides, showing someone how you whine about their choices and interpret them basically as totalitarism might not be the best of ideas. I might do so but first I'll just present the ideas you've given.

Empirate completely is right when it comes to his motivation for this. It's one of the reasons I like some of the implementations - though they come out as a bit too much in the end. It's definitely not the case that he wants to overpower us for the sake of power. Rather, he seeks to force...

Actually, he's implementing that *in addition* to what I mentioned earlier. The costs he discussed in association with that seemed trivial compared to these other things, though, so I didn't bring it up earlier.

Flounder and their fantasy kin when discussing non-humanoids. I suppose windbags (Phaerimm) would be quite flat when dead too. Maybe they could even be stuffed within each other like empty milk cartons. Humanoids? I'd say anything with big, flat surfaces and clear edges. I guess Maugs. They're...

While the population estimates cities in D&D books are extremely bad, I believe there's a certain appeal in the fact that monstrous species are extremely populous. While actual barbarians might have had it a bit too rough to grow in numbers (unlike in fantasy literature), they might be quite...

I lost all trust in the writer when I got to number 7: Soulknife. But I'm reading the rest just in case. Edit: Yyyeah... I might have been reading too many Class Handbooks and optimization guides. That article felt like nothing but a sarcastic joke.
