It is late here and I admit I am a little tired but I'm missing something. Fighting in no armour his AC will be 9 because the penalty is applied there. Flat footed at the start of the combat his AC would be 10 as he doesn't take the penalty. Going by the rulebook pages 178 and 179, flatfooted...

Yes, we did read that. The issue we were discussing comes from that, because it means that his FF AC is higher than his normal non-FF AC and that seemed wrong.

A question has come up at tonights game. A character has a dex of 9 and thus a -1 modifier. His normal AC without armour is thus 9. His touch is also 9 bit how does this ability affect his flat footed AC? Is the penalty ignored thus making his FF higher than his normal AC? This seems odd and we...

Personally I prefer the randomness that comes from dice roll methods. I hate the whole everyone must be equal point buy methods. We always do the 4D6-lowest method but a couple years ago when I ran the Shackled City AP I let each player roller 4D6-lowest three times (A, B and C) and they could...

Anyone have this source book and what did you think of it? I've put an order in with my local store for it but I'm curious what others opinions.

If it's system neutral then I might look into picking this up pending which era of the setting it is set in. I wish we would get more system neutral campaign settings.

Somewhere I still have the D&D comic that has them grown up in the Realms.

I don't want to breach the politics rules but frankly I am horrified by this. If a company tried that over here in the UK you would sue them for unfair dismissal and win. You need a legit reason here and someone's out of work hobbies are certainly not one of them.

I hope they reprint 2nd edition as I could do with replacing my copies of the core books.

This seems to be an American thing to me because here in the UK it's not a problem to fly the geek flag. Talking about D&D has even helped me at job interviews. Yet in America it seems to be something so taboo which makes no sense to me. WTH? How can they legally fire you for that? Your...

I rather like Vancian magic. It and most of the D&Dism's is what brings me back to play D&D/PF. It's not the rules that bother me but more where the feel of the game has gone. Gone are the days where fantasy roleplaying seemed to be medieval Europe with some magic and monsters. Now everything...

Depends on the individual session. There are some nights my group sits down and is in the zone, and we get shed loads done. Then there are other nights where people are tired or something, and we struggle to get far. Thankfully most of the time we hit a happy medium.

Maybe the inhabitants mark a new year when a certain set of constellations return to the night sky? that way due to the nature of your solar system you could have two sets of seasons to a year.

I was referring to a fantasy of the D&D variety not shows that emulate. Thinking of tv shows may not have been right but movies probably. Remember that I was pondering the fantastical elements of D&D. I'll list the ones that immediately come to mind: Eragon: A fantasy world that has dragons...

I don't think I explained that very well. My bad. I meant as in sword/sorcery D&D-esqe fantasy rather than sci fi, horror or the like. Were there any shows or movies that portrayed a fantasy world that resembled that of D&D. I think it was a bad analogy to begin with though. I was a bit rushed...

The Star Trek analogy is quite good but being sci fi it's somewhat different. Are there any fantasy movies or TV shows which do adequately mirror the D&D model?

Because I love D&D and I love the rules. It exemplifies fantasy roleplaying to me and has done since I learned of the game many many years ago. I don't have an issue with the rules or the economics or any of that. I am just in a phase where I was 25 years ago when I first started.

Thank you all for your input. For me I think it's a case that can have "low" magic. The world still has monsters but the average person just doesn't encounter them, or at least not the big nasty ones. Magic users are rare and power is to be protected rather than everyone having access to it...

This is a topic that came to mind a few nights ago and I would like to see other people's thoughts and opinions. I'll be referencing D&D 3.X and Pathfinder mainly but it can apply to any fantasy RPG. When I started with basic (red box) D&D and 1st edition AD&D my friends and I never saw the...

This is the one I would recommend.
