    Pricing Itimes with Initiative Bonus

    um, yes, thats what the discussion is about, what proportion of the cost of an increase to dexterity is down to the value of the increase in initiative. Its being discussed to make sure that its not too cheap or too expensive as its not a normal bonus to get. If you want to blindly assign a...

    How do I run on water?

    the wall of force is a solidified slab of the Aether the invisible intangible field that permeates all space and time, a ridicluously high escape artist check duplicates the effect of a dimension door or similar spell slidign between the molecules of the aether through the nothingness of the...

    So a god/goddess dies, what happens?

    oops! I digressed, I love enworld gives such great ideas if you haven't read piratecats story hour yet, I'd really highly reccomend it, dead gods, battle for acsension between powerful creatures, world swamped in darkness, prophetic dreams. Its amazing. In my campaign it wouldn't be noticed...

    Horizon Walker

    oops I checked up the planar traits and just read the terrain ones as what I assumed they were, my bad. And I was wrong its tremorsense rather than blindsense, hmmm, so go scout ten and you get blindsense then scout 20 for blindsight then its a choice of horizon walker 6ish and tremorsense...

    Horizon Walker

    Its a nice idea, with lots of flavour but the class benefits are a little boring. Possibly rather than the slew of +2 to a related skill and +1 to attack creatures from an area, it could be altered to give a limited ability (theres some already that are notably better the darkvision one and...

    Do prestige classes curb creativity?

    Prestige classes only limit your imagination if your imagination would be limited anyway. I'm sure everything was better in the good old days though, it always is, I remember amusing myself for hours sailing around the bay pretending to be a pirate, don't do that anymore (well maybe once or...

    How do you convince someone of the truth

    But that leads to no chance of a misunderstanding ever (bar wisdom penalties and no ranks), you can't always convince some people of the truth no matter how hard you try.

    I'd be tempted to go for either wisdom or dexterity as the closest parallels so its gloves or peripets. Doesn't seem exactly right to me though.

    Wizard Martial Weapon

    I love this argument that commoners should be proficient with scythes and sickles. Assuming that there is no sifference between a normal scythe and one designed for fighting with. Fighting with one and reaping crops is going to be completly different, absolutely completly different (apart from...

    /joke/ well if you get your mages initiative high enough two high level spells before anyone else acts, surprise and first round or even 3 or 4 delayed blast fireballs or whatever from the time stop you cast going first in the initiative, its pretty similar just kills most of an opposing army...

    World History Roleplaying Game

    Theres as many different styles of LARP as there are RPGs. I regularly go to weekend events that are around 50 people and a few times a year go to ones that are about 4 or 5 thousand. Those are "in a field/wood" high magic and comabt larps though, your probably looking for something a bit more...

    Cloud Mind... Is this a useless power?

    but they knew the key was there and now its not, it doesn't remove the memory of that from them. So they get a second save, whats the result of a fail on that one? a) if they fail they presumably start thinking it was someone invisible who moved it or the key was teleported or something. b)...

    out of interest why shortbow rather than longbow? hmmmm they already have quarter staff and spear don't they, so...... scythe and some black robes for that proper intimidating necromancer look :D

    Aiming Fireballs soi they don't hit the party?

    As I said whatever floats your boat :) wasn't meaning to be rude, just phrased myself badly. If giving a player another few seconds leads them to using a more interesting spell or a cunning tactic, I'll give them that. If they're timewasting I'll chivy them along. After all I want to play a...

    Aiming Fireballs soi they don't hit the party?

    and I give a reasonable amount of time. as in enough for them to be happy they are usign their spells effectively but not enough to slow down the combat. Thats what I'm there for if they're taking too long i'll say "hurry up". <edited bit follows> not that anything else is unreasonable, bad...

    A world where dragons exist only in the most obscure and ancient lore. A disparate group of individuals hired by the merchants council in a peaceful city state to protect trade caravans. A sky rent by meteor showers and fallign stars. All sorts of ill omens. Mysterious but helpful stranger...

    Making Crystal Caste battle mats better?
