    Changes to Devils and Demons

    Actually the seed for the blood war did exist in 1e, although it wasn't given a name and is very obscure. Page 102 of the 1e Manual of the Planes: "The only unifying force is their hatred of good and organized peoples." This is talking about the various demon lords. Now that could be read as...

    Ryan Dancey on Redefining the Hobby (Updated: time elements in a storytelling game)

    Thanks, that helps clarify things more. Then so far, to me anyways, core D&D does not have too many rules. It has also removed the situation: DM: Bad guy punches your mage for 2 points of damage Me: I cast burning hands. DM: Well, you can't he's now too far away. Challenge players within...

    Ryan Dancey on Redefining the Hobby (Updated: time elements in a storytelling game)

    Whose story? Mine? Yours? Get the rules out that define certain interaction and then let the story be told around that. Isn't that why we have so many different systems? Some stories just can't be told within a certain rule set. The story elements I remember from past editions that I never...

    Just Plain Broken

    Not really considering that psionic dominate is a 4th level power and thus stopped by globe of invulnerability. I just recently played a psion 5/Thrallherd 9 in an adventure. Control elementals? check. Control pithy nobles? check. Control Adult Green Dragon? Nope, couldn't get past his spell...

    Darth Vader: Alignment

    Until the apprentice becomes strong enough to kill his master and then take his place. That is how the tanari rule in the abyss; might makes right. Either Vader becomes strong enough to kill the emporer or the emporer kills vader before it happens. It's very chaotic. While the jedi "trust in...

    The Magic-Walmart myth

    I would have to say that this strikes me more as getting paper work out of the way. The game is Dungeons & Dragons, not Barter & Trade. How often are all spell components kept track of? How often is environment really used (Bob, the fighter takes damage walking through a burning building, but...

    Too much character makes TS ARGHHH!!!

    6 + 7 = 13, still have one more point, add 1 for duration of 1 hour instead of concentrate. With a range of 240 ft, I would have 2-3 rounds to dominate 4 people each round, have them run to me to protect me. Now their buddies have to slice through them to get to me, all the while, I'm...

    Too much character makes TS ARGHHH!!!

    Yes, everyone in my group reads this. We all take turns DM'ing. We either get a module or come up with our own adventure then set the parameters. Last adventure, I ran, 12th level gestalts using any 3.5 source. This adventure, another person is DMing, 14th level non-gestalt using any...

    Too much character makes TS ARGHHH!!!

    I did some research (google is great) and you are right. Now my telepath/thrallherd is going to have to research a 9th level version of dominate. Right now only 14th level psion 5/Thrallherd 9, and it is really nice being able to dominate just about anything. I would hate to run into...

    Too much character makes TS ARGHHH!!!

    Unless of course, the psion heightens the power. For example: Demoralize is a first level power, costs 1 point. It can be pumped up to some number like 13, the cost of a 7th level power. For every 2 power points spent its range and radius increase 5 ft and its save DC increases by 1. This...

    Free RPG Day - good idea, or bad?

    Maybe. I only have so many dollars that I can spend on RPGs. Between DDM, Source materials (non adventures), Adventures, and other RPG supplies (lead figures, paints, etc). I hardly if ever buy adventures. I mainly buy source materials, latest being denizens of advadnu. DDM's, I just...

    Help twink a Goliath smasher

    Wouldn't that allow a goliath to wield a huge weapon instead of just a large weapon? That's the way that I've always thought it worked.

    Spelljammer...just wow

    The conflicts that I found in spelljammer were: Neogi/Umberhulk slavers against anyone else (really selling anyone to anyone) Beholder race wars Elf/Scro Mindflayers vs. everyone (IIRC, mindflayers used to control all, but where overthrown and continually scheme to get it back); and mindflayers...
