    PCs who kill everyone that attacks them

    My experience has been that player mercy is a factor of npc usefulness as well as basic morality. If a bunch of useless guys jump them and it's a bad day, then probably a bloodbath ensues. Otherwise, there's always ransom for important enemies, and information to be extracted from the smaller...

    Remind me; back in 1st/2nd edition...

    I might be wrong, but this really does screw the Sorceror doesn't it? With the max spells known and all? I mean, breaking Symbol up like that... ciaran

    Conversion Request - Monster Conversions

    I think an alternate bladeling conversion wouldn't be too bad. The 3.0 conversion is really terrible. Bladelings used to be somewhat scary... now they're just silly. ciaran

    D&D 3.x v4: Challenge Ratings pdf (3.5 compatible)

    This is not very consistent. Say a player makes a weapon, and then it eventually fails (say it's a Wand of Fire). He is still left without XP, yes? What if the player uses the scroll to break into a vault to gain an item that balances (or greatly unbalances) him from the rest of the party? What...

    Alternative Turning Mechanic

    Unlike saving throws or skill points, there is no level-attained bonus the cleric could apply to a standard turning check. However, this is how I do it: Cleric rolls a d20 + 1/2 level + Cha against a DC of 10 + 1/2 Undead Hit Dice + Undead Wis. If the Cleric's and Undead's stats are the same...

    Same to you too, big guy. Time to take your own advice and drop the point. ciaran

    Character Sheets

    Hey matt, did you know where I could get a copy of that 1st ed character sheet? I have been working on a sheet for my game in my spare time (none of the ones out there are that good). I've posted a link so you can see what's possible with PDF. It's about 2 megs due to the background images...

    (OT -- So OT It's Not Funny) Good Grief How I HATE MS Word

    I doubt that calling someone a jerk is all that extreme. I understand "community spirit" too, but I think that looking up Tools -> Options is not all that nonintuitive. It's my chance to "vent" if you will. Have an agreed-upon read-only template. Also, in any chunk in Word, you can remove...

    (OT -- So OT It's Not Funny) Good Grief How I HATE MS Word

    Why don't you jerks LOOK AT THE SETTINGS before you use a wordprocessor? Did you know word can autobackup? Did you know "auto" numbering can be turned off? Also, since XP all these settings are portable... that means your work computer and home computer don't have to be different. ciaran

    [OT] But at what cost ?!

    Calm down, man. It's just a pipe. I'm sure it has nothing to do with it for godssakes. ciaran

    Monotheism?

    Consequently, if you look at it, D&D makes room for more-or-less monotheistic religions. Granted, multiple powers exist that have worshippers, but there is no real polytheism (a few paladins are granted the ability to represent "Good", for example, or druids to an extent). Clerics are...

    Monotheism?

    Unfortunately, all the real world and even literary examples don't fit with D&D because the system is able to create characters who exhibit god-like abilities. Any 20th level mage in a relatively isolated land is going to be considered a god by quite a great many people. He can affect nature in...

    Revised CRs/ECLs - Thread #3

    If you're arbitrarily setting them without paying heed to the design parameters then expecting the design rules to work, it's... uh... weird? +.1 CR per ability increase gives +4 CR to the creature above simply due to stats. Tack on more for other abilities. It's not "back door" as you put it...

    Cleave houserule - against bag of snails

    What's good for the wizard should be good for the fighter. Three mooks (if they are truly mooks) accompanying a big baddy are three charmed enemies against him. Alone, he'd be better off. Three mooks, in this case, whether against a fighter or a wizard are hindrances because it's a high-level...

    AD&D 2E 2E Spell Conversions

    the Jester and others... did anyone convert the 2e Wizard spell Chaos? I really hate to dump it completely, though at present it has a few balance issues. Anyone have any suggestions? ciaran

    Modron clash - need some ideas

    But what if the twisted modron is deriving a correct solution to a problem by thinking outside the box? His death, though "logical" may be irrational :) ciaran
