Why yes, Medusa should break the rules. She should be a one-shot kill, just as she was in the legends! I really don't understand why so many people complain about one-shotting a boss monster when that's a perfectly acceptable way for the heroes of legend to end such a fight. Not all the time, of...

The point is, what it says is irrelevant. As past performance has shown, even beating gamers over the head with the fact that something is optional doesn't mean that some (perhaps a lot) will insist that its official, and therefore not to be messed with. New DMs tend to be especially prone to...

I'm concerned that new DMs are likely to get the old DM vs. the Players vibe that was common in the early days of D&D. Those who refuse to learn from the past, and all that.

As I've mentioned before, I really disliked Skip's attitude and a lot of his answers. This is a typical example of him just plain being wrong! While modern rapiers are as he describes them, the original versions very definitely were edged weapons, as well as having a sharp pointy bit. If he'd...

What the heck is going on here? I can only access the fist page of this thread, every attempt to access any other page brings me right back here. Well, hopefully that will straighten itself out later. And I still can't put spaces between lines when I want to do a new paragraph. ... Most of the...

A note about needing to identify items with scrolls. The article says you need to do that for all dropped items. This isn't so, you only need to do it for about half of them. :cool:

Another note about the Foundry. I think I saw this somewhere: You need to have five people review your adventure for it to be made available to the public. I've made two, and neither has received a single review. Admittedly, they aren't very good, but I specifically asked for help to fix up the...

Esther Williams, 'America's Mermaid' and movie queen, has died at the age of 91.

Several people have touched on this (especially Ainamacar, above), but I'll state it explicitly. Everyone in the Adventuring Party has 40 HP max. Everyone takes 30 points of damage, except me. I only take 10. We all take the same amount of rest. So everyone gets 10 HP back, except me, I get...

I agree with everything you've said, in principle. I just don't think it comes up often enough to bother with. And I should have gone with my first impulse to use a Kobold as the one looking at them. Especially as what constitutes physical beauty in a (D&D) Kobold is likely to be viewed as ugly...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So why would an Appearance score of X for a female Elf be the same for a male Dwarf, as seen by a Human? My preference is to just let the players decide what their characters look like.

I try to nod to it, but definitely leave out the things that will slow the game down. Which happens to include everything on your list. :)

Thanks once again for your response and advice! Sounds like the Nightmare boxes are going to be too much of a hassle for me to bother with. We'll see. Yep, I figured out the Minor Injury Kit thing not too long after posting. (Mostly by noticing the new, to me, Injury Kits that were now...

Got a couple more questions. I've accumulated nearly a dozen Nightmare Boxes, which require Enchanted Keys to open, but I've never seen one. Not that I pay much attention to the vendors, except to sell unwanted loot, so is there someone I can buy them from? Another thing. I just got my character...

Well, that's good to know. :)

Speaking of the server being down, I discovered another annoying thing about it. Been doing the pray every day for celestial coins (and other goodies) thing for a couple of weeks. Spent 5 a week ago to see what I'd get, then started collecting again. Got up to six and was going to buy the 7 cc...

Yes, that's what I ment. Thanks again!

Do these people have any idea how big the guns on the Mark IV would actually be? A 75 mm gun has a 3 inch bore. a 4 inch gun would be 100 mm. And a 10 inch gun is a (pre-modern) battleship or artillery cannon! And the tank ought to move at about half a mile per hour, it would be so heavy.

Thanks again for the advice! Did a little with Leadership, but will try to do more. And I found some easy grinds. The foundry quests 'Easy Quest' 1, 2 and especially 3 are good for that. And you get the extra astral diamonds if you go into them as Daily Foundry Quests. And I've been doing the...

Bank? There's a bank? Gad, I hope there are instructions when this goes non-beta! Although even that would be too little too late for most. I've pretty much given up on the official storyline. Had to abandon some official quests because I couldn't get past various groups of monsters. And since...
