Since a few of us seem to have touched on NPC classes, I think I have sometng to say there. Those NPC classes that exactly clone a PC class (warrior, adept) should not exist. Such NPCs should simply be low level versions of a PC class. The only NPC class that should exist is "expert", which...

For me, a 1st level character has the equivalent of a couple of months solid training in their chosen class. In this context, the average village blacksmith is probably level 3 (up for 5 or 6 for a master smithy in the city), but has "expert" as his character class.

Isn't spiked armour the usual answer to this question?

That's two separate skills? Are you sure this isn't FATAL? :eek:

The way things are going, I'm not so sure there's much of a difference any more. :p

Link is relevant?

Once more, I'm not talking about game definitions, but real world definitions. D&D has been fairly notorious for making it up as it went along for some weapon definitions.

I never claimed to be most gamers.

I was trying to figure out what the fundamental differences between maces and clubs actually are, and other than fancier craftsmanship, I'm at a loss.

What I've done is a feat for each "normal" class of weapons "axes, swords, spears, etc). Then a feat for exotic weapons. You need both EWP and the general weapon class to count as having proficiency in that specific exotic weapon (eg. WP/swords plus EWP gives you proficiency in the bastard sword...

If you're going to get mouthy over "Play some other system" comments, you might want to note that the pathfinder board (the game you claim to play) is the next one over.

I knew that youtube vid would get referenced. But in-genre, it's a lot easier to say that the eagle NPCs just don't want to carry you (or can't carry you) than it is to say every single place of adventure interest is shielded from teleport spells.

Disclaimer: I am one of those GMs who bans player-cast raise dead and nerfs teleport up the wazoo. What do you see as the fundamental difference between a DM who never kills a character and a campaign where characters have easy access to raise dead? In both cases, death has no sting and thus...

And yet create water is very definitely on the spell list for water priests in the original 2e rulebook (and again in the revised 2e rulebook).

Bear in mind that one of the consequences of this is that most other PCs in a typical party will now be "neutral" in relation to the party cleric, which may have consequences when the party cleric casts holy word word of $deity.

Detect ally would generally detect any outsider or mortal who worships your own deity or related deity. Roughly speaking, a related deity is a deity who is not an enemy for any reason, and is one of: A deity who has the exact same alignment and two or more cleric domains (not counting...

There is some leeway in this. Most of the conventionally good deities would regard any "always evil" creature as an enemy (and vice versa), regardless of which deity of demon prince that creature actually worshipped. But as a cleric of Pelor the sun god, my detect enemy won't ping on an amoral...

In my campaign, these spells are banned/nerfed: Wish and related spells are banned. If you find yourself needing to undo a condition that requires a limited wish or better, its an appeal for direct divine intervention. They aren't on any spell list for mortals to cast. Raise dead and...

Since we have a creature's speed in feet/round, we can calculate its velocity in m/s. Under local Earth gravity, for any given impact velocity, we can calculate the fall distance required to accelerate to that speed, and hence the overall distance fallen. From this, we can create a chart giving...
