There are still things that Rogues can do against undead. For a start if you're talking about slow moving undead he can distract them by keeping moving just beyond their range, giving the others a chance to pick them off. Trip attacks may be helpful that allow your cleric/fighter-type in to...

Instant Setting Time/Tech/Culture: Prehistory Tone: Despair Setting Element: Mutants Setting Element: Heaven and Hell Location: Beach Everything we've got here is immeadiately throwing up old-testament (as in Genesis level old testament) imagery along with a cave-man/neanderthal feeling. Here...

I see your point but I disagree that it is necessarily that different from the choice I'm presenting. My choice equally presents him with two right answers, the difference is that in order to bring about the crisis of faith I have the ability to alter my deity's perspective accordingly in order...

Reapersaurus - cheers for the input, and as you can see I didn't want to use a lich - it was just the idea of a lich like return from the dead that is tied to an innocent that I wanted... hence the question. Also it's not a moral dilemma I'm aiming for - it's a crisis of faith. The paladin...

Nice idea - They try and take the lich - are almost slaughtered and leg it, but then kill the child. However it gets risky because they might not run. Plus I'd like to build the lich (or lich substitute if I can come up with some-such) up as a bad guy but I also like the idea of them killing...

I need some help on this one because I don't want a TPK on my hands (what can I say I like telling good stories which means developed characters). One of my players has indicated he'd be interested in having his paladin go through a crisis of faith of some sort. This I like... it gives us a...

I guess it's going to have to be the royal family from this end - one postcard added to the lunch time shopping list

I don't have Carlzog's experience with tall ships, but I have almost 30 years of experience of dinghy/yacht sailing.... which is enough to know that I'd be lost on a tall ship even as an experienced sailor of smaller boats. I have also had the privilege of sailing across the north sea. Most...

Light I'd say is right where you have it - along with wisdom. You then get the elementt of light as the revealer, bringing knowledge and wisdom to the world. You don't really have much in the way of a sun god as far as I can see - it might be worth throwing that in with the same god. Sun...

This is one of the reasons I took alignment away from ALL of my Gods. There are good and evil aspects of pretty much every thing in a portfolio. Love can be the pure platonic love of two friends, or the corrupt and evil love of a stalker for his victim. War can be the good war against the...

Termites My goblinoids are like ants or termites. Goblin are the worker types, Hobgoblin the standard warriors and Bugbears are the giant warriors (check out Driver Ants or Siafu for the inspiration). To top that off I've had to create Queen goblin and Daughter goblin. The Queen is similar...

Emotions sound good But I do think you'll have a problem with those aspects you point out - so many things can encompass the full range of emotions. Even war can be found in a fair few you've mentioned (Fury, Hate, Grief, even Love in terms of Love of country). The pantheon I developed had a...

I pick my nose at you!

My point wasn't about a damaged kneecap, it was about a severed kneecap, ankle, or for example a completely splintered (to the point of effective disintegration) femur on a skeleton. Would you rule that the skeleton's animating force kept it standing upright even without the leg - that some...

Shock Nice point - shock is probably a very important element of a crit to a living, bleeding creature. But it doesn't eliminate the fact that a single well placed blow can have a significant effect on the outcome of a fight with a corporeal undead, or a construct that has similar...

OK so no blood pumping through the knee - not my point. I'm talking about the fact that the knee no longer supports the zombie/skelton's weight. He can't stand on it so he is a less effective fighter. I remember landing badly on my ankle while sparring. The rest of the fight I was clearly...

But that zombie is significantly more affected by a blow that decapitates him than a similar blow to the body. THe blow to the body just damages him, the decapitation prevents him from seeing you (OK assumes that they still 'see' using their eyes and not some 'life sense', but that's my...

Why are constructs and all undead immune to crits. For some of them it simply doesn't makie sense. I'll agree you can't crit an ooze, or a slime... they're a homogenous mass one bit no different to the rest. And the incorporeal undead, same thing goes there... it's just a spirit form so one...

What Crothian said... I also want a world that has something new in it. Vanilla settings in which good guys live here and bad guys live over there I find dull. I also get annoyed at the constant setting of races in alignments. Orcs are evil, elves are good crap just grates I guess - too dull...

You could ask for a Brilliant Energy weapon that has the same effect as cold iron even though it isn't. By paying the costs for it as standard and acheiving the same effect it you're still within the rules guidelines. Could be explained as Ferric Energy (or something like that)
