Yeah while dodging fireballs and hacking 100 ton giants to death, surviving being kicked hard by said 100 ton giants because I made my save and killing those beholders, I often think how much like our own reality it is??????????????

and yet the game goes on....variations of this argument have been going on since the beginning. Fact is most people just don't care. Fighter's and Rogues can do what Fighters and Rogues can do and that's Ok. i'd actually argue not knowing why just make it more special. Sometimes not knowing...

I just stated what I thought was the best place for a paladin. Not the current place for a paladin.

The more generic you make anything the more bland and boring and the more fluff and junk will be created for the class. Wizard ? anyone. Then we'll see entire splat books full of "oaths" and abilities that will eventually become a list of the 5 abilities all "paladins" have to have to be...

really guys Mortal Kombat is all about the gods of our realm protecting it by makeing sure mortals learn the mystic martial arts that the gods invented to grant them power so they can save the earth. If you don't like martials getting god granted or supernatural powers fine. But Mortal Kombat...

um mortal kombat, each of the combat forms is blessed by at least one of the gods. You master the martial art you get more powers. kind've like mages.........

Seriously? Sub Zero/Frost- Ice powers, can make himself a clone made of ice to avoid death. Can also create protective ice barriers. Scorpion- Teleportation, easy access to the Neatherrealm. Immortality, fire powers, can summon demons. Shinnok- God of death. Can summon weapons made of bones...

if your DM gives you lot's of rests and the wizard runs with effectively unlimited magic yes. If your DM plays a bit more old school and the rests are more spread out fighters will eventually overtake the wizard because the fighter has no limit on damage output. Silvery Barbs was supposed...

IME a wizard can spend 3 games with DM or wizards own bad rolls minimizing output or completely making the wizard useless and no one notices that. but then after 3 full sessions of bad dices rolls one good wall spell or teleport to a big enemy and disintegrate and suddenly the wizard that was...

pretty common story these days. This is what happens when too much cheap money is available. companies play games like this it turns into hot potato. Eventually interest rates go up and the Last guy holding the company gets to file the bankruptcy. Its what's happening to Red Lobster. All...

first you have to agree what the wizard's places in the game are. I'd start by redoing wizard generalist, then come up with the specialty versions of wizard you want to fill in stuff desired. Generalist should be the standard Utility wizard, the one every one on the forums who hates wizard...

Od&D monsters are generally less powerful than modern D&D monsters. an adult white dragon is about a 9th level encounter. A 9th level fighter should be able to kill a stone giant singlehandedly. This power level of a 9th level character has been baked in since the beginning. Now in early...

no most modern writers tend to use relative morality which means your morals are determined by the situation rather than actually having morals. My point wash didn't do that. Sure you can find lots of things to gripe about conan but trying to pin moral relativity on him doesn't really work.

No Howard never tried to sugar coat what Conan did and make it out to be some grand good deed. It was just savagery and he embraced it.

have fun with it. Maybe the Devil is actually working against a Demon Lord. Imagine the fun when the devil starts telling his or her patron to help paladins or the like.....Keep em guessing what the hell (lol) is going on.

pretty much every change starting with the godswar in 2e was senseless.

I'll give you the argument that writers these days live in a moral swamp and have no idea what morals even are. You want to argue that sneaking in and murdering everyone isn't heroic I'm right there with you. Sneaking in and destroying enemy supplies and stocks and getting out again that's...

correct. but the deadly max range is usally assumed to be 300 meters. though there are recorded instances of Longbow shots up to 450 yds. As skill wind velocity, direction and strength of bowman all come into play. But still as I said earlier. The longer the range that becomes normal the...
