    Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

    But we can only hope that other people when considering this issue will read the reasoned arguments and make an informed decision, rather than a biased one on wrong assumptions. I'm so close to starting a play-by-post and asking for a myth and a couple of casters to have an online example for...

    Abstract versus concrete in games (or, why rules-light systems suck)

    I would think that narrative and the dramatic description can be almost completely separated from the rules that provide the foundation of the game. More so that with a nice complete and codified set of rules all the people round the table can sort out dice rolls and checks before their turn...

    Interesting comment from a player

    not that its that relevant to whether I would allow it or not but.... in the case of the repercussions, no trader worth their salt is going to admit publicly that someone made them a laughing stock by selling them fools gold, it'd encourage every young trickster to come and have a try wasting...

    Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

    oh yeah, i forgot, assassin as I dislike insta-kills, second up would be me modifying lots of the rest to make them more flavourful or less setting specific, red wizard for setting, and gragon disciple for flavour (i'd make it more of a casting class I think, unless someone wanted it the way it...

    Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

    perhaps it would be more sensible to think about the comparison in abstract terms rather than using specific spells. feats or items? I mean any character can take any feat (that they qualify for) or learn a spell or use an item. So maybe looking at it in this format. Human Wizard level 10...

    LARPs?

    I started larping far far before I began playing DnD, the clip someone mentioned is a classic its so damn funny and the picture on the previous page is as well. Before I played DnD I thought that it was a bit geeky and a bit wet, played by people like the comic book guy out of the simpsons, just...

    Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

    sorry that was a bit brief, I wont bother with the build I'm sure its a great one. All the tactics you suggested can be done by a straight wizard, or at least the ones based on a variation of quickened "this" normal "this" (where this is a high damage spell). They aren't just Mystic theurge...

    and the cleric who was standig behind you rather than next to his wizard master hits you with his axe and your dead.

    Does the Fireball spell expand in a narrow corridor?

    I read that last night and assumed he was being sarcastic...... Wish I still hope he is, its either sarcasm :D , ignorance, or hes a genius. Though I did have to do displacment theory for one of my exams last year, I've got a handy book of tables for calculating segments of most regular and...

    Would you have allowed this?

    fair enough this thread has descended into people arguing about whether you can do trig in the field accurately. But did I just read that you can measure an angle correctly? As in you can't draw a circle and draw 180 straight equally spaced lines through the center. Then using a piece of...

    Adding levels to a > than 1 HD humanoid

    should probably go to house rules now I guess, or should I just repost there? thanks, I guessed there was some distinction between the HD types. So its humans and all with a racial HD and the more HD beasties with "level" of whatever they are and effectively multiclass into the class they...

    Adding levels to a > than 1 HD humanoid

    This is a two part question. First is to check I am doing it right. making a human barbarian normal human has 1 racial HD when given a level of barbarian replaces that with the barbarian HD so 1d8 + con mod -----> 1d12 + con mod making a gnoll barbarian starts with 2 racial HD when given a...

    Specialized races

    I've considered this as a slightly different game world, though I hadn't considered what you are saying about pushing the class and race linkages more. Though my intent was to take the normal PHB races and working from the +1 LA races available for dwarves and gnomes, create slightly better...

    HELP! Putting my PC's up against a Dragon... my players KEEP OUT!!!

    give the main dragon, little dragon minions. The party fight a (small) dragon, go that was fairly easy, little touch and go at times but fine. They see other little ones and kill or avoid them. Couple of days later a (medium) beats the snot out of them probably just about losing in the end...

    Would you have allowed this?

    you don't need to memorise the tables of course you can just use the binomial expansion of the trig functions, I think its: sin x = x - (x^3)/3! +(x^5)/5! - ........... and cos x = 1 - (x^2)/2! + (x^4)/4! - ............ As far as I can make out it was an interesting use of some of your...
