YOU HAVE MY BLADE! ..assuming I don't actually have to get up or, you know, move or anything. SLOTHmaster

Over here a discussion started about which was more effective, in general; items with a bonus to hit/damage/AC or the like, or items with a more abstract effect, such as flight or speech with animals. What do you think? Edit: by "more effective" I mean more effective at overcoming a large...

In general an effect that alters your interaction with the world is more useful than something which alters your plusses. Plusses are only useful in combat situations, while with enough creativity things like flight can be used to a much greater effect. Which is part of why spellcasters have...

The Unquiet Dead Blink Asylum of the Daleks

I was wondering how long this would take to degenerate into edition wars. Much longer than I thought.

That sounds interesting. Mind giving some detail on how that works?

I've been wanting to try out a new RPG. I already have Basic D&D, AD&D, AD&D 2e, 3.x (including Pathfinder), 4e, various classic World of Darkness books, Fantasy Heroes, several games using the Amazing Engine system, Sadowrun 2e, Lord of the Rings, Roma Imperious, and DC Heroes. I was...

It seems like you could do a lot with that mechanic. Perhaps you might want to lower the effects of a generic critical hit or how easy they are to get to encourage the use of the points for maneuvers rather than leaving martial classes essentially the same with a higher crit chance.

I am not a fan of the current HD rules, so I would not be happy with that kind of drain. Stat damage, as someone said, would be a pain to use as it would force people to change so many thngs on their character sheet, but you could drain the end result; like instead of draining Con, drain 1 hp/...

I'm going to go in a completely different direction than the previous posters were going and say it looks like you put a lot of thought into this. Keep up the good work.

Perhaps, in addition to not being able to cast spells, wildshape should have an element of danger. In various mythologies shapeshifters were sometimes trapped in their forms. Why not require a will save to change back, with the DC based on how long you spent in the shape?

And lo those who imagined still the Voice of Morrus to be American were smote as unbelievers.

Would only being able to turn into the form of the creature you have the strongest affinity with, i.e. your animal companion, be a good way of staving off druidzilla?

Who needs to pay pesants? Offer them free lodging in a Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion or the like if they agree to help you out every once in a while... Also works well for finding and disarming traps.

On the other hand, when the 20 strength fighter rolls low when trying to force something and then the 8 strength wizard succeeds, things seem a little weird.

For me it's because it's much easier to immerse yourself when playing a single character than when trying to DM.

Since my brother and I are the only two who know the rules well enough, and he can't improvise.

That's what I'd heard.
