    AoO change (reach and other mumbo jumbo)

    I don't like it. situations arrise such as: A,B are allies X,Y are allies AB,XY are enemies A. .B .X Y. X is already fighting B A charges in to attack Y, is it really different than if he charged in to attack B from Bs perspective? yes, it leaves A more open to attack. Your change makes him...

    A question of dice -- answer only if you're old enough.

    um... real randomness allows repeated numers, so I am not shure what you are talking about. An ideal computerized random number generator takes numbers from several sources and combines them before sending them through a randomness algorithm (wich doesn't actually generate the number). Me? I...

    Homebrew settings and player appeal

    nope. As a GM I buy many things. Incuding campain settings. Do I play them? no. But I do borrow from them for my own campain setting. You see, I am a builder and I enjoy creating my homebrew. I also can not find a single campain setting that has half the things I like in them. My players like...

    Making guns lethal.

    It is bad because it means you can't use those guns against your players. They will instantly die. Much more so than people in real life would (IRL, guns are not an insta-kill, something like 90+% of gunshot victims survive). If you want guns to be very deadly. Use the W/VP system but increase...

    Three "Guaranteed 18" methods of random stat generation

    1/36? on 3d6 the chance of 1 specific combination (6,6,6) is: 1/6^3 = 1/216. on 4d6 drop the lowest, we have a range of 1296 normally distributed combinations. 4*6 = 24 of them provide the 3 or more 6's needed to make an 18. So thats a 1/54 chance of rolling an 18. Of course you could add the...

    Scaled-down minotaur?

    Funny thing. In my campain "Orcs" are essentially "scaled down minotaurs". Physically they are large and brutish humanoids with long faces and small vestigial horns. They are well known for thier strength and stubborness. Long ago when man first encountered a pair of wandering orcs he asked the...

    Who is at fault?

    Honestly? some of them should have been able to make it. A character can normally run 120 ft per turn, if they spread as they run the yun-ti can only hit one per round. This gives the Yun-ti 4 castings before the party gets out of range. Would the minimum damage on the fireball with a passed...

    No Prestige classes allowed

    How do you picture the riding dog ?

    I always pictured them sorta like Beau and Beuty. My mothers two (now deceased) warlock dobermans. Each was ~3.5 to 4 ft tall, Beuty was a slightly chunky 200 lbs and Beaux was a lean and rippling 170. One night someone saw that our back door was open, they entered the yard through the side...

    Wow...a new book...the Complete Arcane!

    technically the flanking bonus is the angle between the flanking characters in radians, you only get the full Pi when you directly oppose the other flanking character.

    Creepy...

    I ran a game once where the party explored a small abandoned house next to a scene of brutal murder. They entered into the kitchen through a hole in the fireplace to discover a desicated human hand with a bright gold ring, the hand scurried away. In another room they found the cieling rafters...
