Ah, I was unaware. Thanks.

DMG, pg 289 "Strength 0 means that the character cannot move at all. He lies helpless on the gorund." Con of 0 is the only one that can kill you. The others are just incapacitating. You'll find the effects of the other 4 stats on DMG, pg 289-90. How old is your son? I'm reminded of a...

Hmmmmm, you're first attempt at writing up combat. Much better than other attempts I've seen, first or otherwise. Don't let the slow response rate slow you down my friend. You've got potential that shouldn't be wasted. Especially with your ability to write up the actual character conversations.

Wow, I have no idea what's going on. Still, it's one of the best train of thought pieces I've read.

Stone Empire Sounds very solid while still being a pun.

Wow, I thought your group was big. *Looks meaningfully at the mess in living room* Yeah, I know you're pain.

Yeah, that can be really annoying. Perhaps it wasn't presented to him in a non-threatening way. If he feels ganged up on or attacked (for any reason), he'll put up his defenses. It won't matter if you tell him the meaning of life, he won't hear you and will just say no. Ask him, since...

I tend to agree with Faraer as well. I've always had a tendency to read an FR book and say, "Wow, this can be a pretty dark setting." Old and new books alike. I recall, after reading my first book, actually having a conversation with a good friend about how, even though the bad guy was pushed...

I do believe in Old One. I do believe in Old One. I do believe in Old One. I do believe in Old One.

Enter the rising action.

BlackSilver, I'm curious as to which ones you've used and what their results have been.

Player's perspective. Get pissy with him. Same player I mentioned above (the one who changes PCs based on his mood) could be an absolutely fabulous DM. Brilliant stories that allow characters to flow forth. He allows me to completely immerse myself in a character, feeling the emotional ride...

As to blending new characters into the party, I tend to point to the player in question and say, "It's your character, you figure out why these guys would want to spend time with you." If the player can't convince the group, s/he's gone. Which means there are some basic rules, such as no undead...

I wouldn't expect one. I've learned over time that responding to your own threads is usually a bad idea and don't generally respond in threads I start.

Well, that can only go well.

You forgot Duck Hunt. Now there was a game that pushed the bounds of technology. You can never get a feeling like that back. Seriously, you got the short end of the stick on that one.

When that comes up, assuming I trust the player, I'll usually ask him to help me create some NPCs, good and bad. In my case, the players are usually better at making spellcasters than I am (I'm just not good at it), so it can be a big help to me as well. This gives him the chance to use the...

Hmmmmm, I actually think we're in the same place mhacdebhandia. By Detect Anti-Pelor People I meant those who were against Pelor (thus the use of the anti as opposed to the use of the non). In my case, what I mean is Pelor would be opposed to Shadows and Undead, a deity of sexual purity would...

There's no shortage of people any given god might be mad at (shadows, Shar, killers, undead, prostitutes, elves, giants, fey). It just means that the DM and player need to be on their toes in a fight. Same with detect spells; it becomes Detect Anti-Pelor People while the spells that conceal...

I once asked but I never could remember to actually read them. At the game there were too many people asking other questions and I figured I'd notice if someone was off (yes, I think I'm that good)--which I usually do. Other times they ask for help or I catch a glimpse. I suppose we find a...
