Ooo, we're dancing on the edge of Topics We Are Not Meant To Discuss On ENWorld. :) Hmm. How close can I skate to the edge without going over? Let's just say that most politicians, including a certain sitting US President who shall remain nameless, put on a magic show all the time and most...

I've been tinkering with the idea of having point buy and fixed hp values. Mostly for my benefit, when I'm making masses of NPCs. I haven't quite tinkered with the idea to my satisfaction, though...

Certainly! It's nice to see a post like this where the poster has a *reasonable* number of house rules to look at. I saw one such post where the guy had a 30 page PDF. Umm, no, not all at once! :uhoh: I did that, as well as combining Listen and Spot into Perception. I'm still playtesting...

Yow! For my campaigns, I give the players the top half of the die. So your minimum would have been a 6. Of course, I give all the monsters 75% of maximum hps, too, so it all works out in the end. I just find it more fun to have the bigger numbers. :)

Mmm. Now you're straining my memory. And my chaos books are all boxed up. I think I mostly remember one of them, though, well enough not to butcher it. It has always been assumed that, given enough information, we can accurately predict the behaviour of a system. That idea got kicked in the...

Never, ever, ever enter poltics, my friend. They would eat you alive with that attitude. :)

Hmm. Chaos theory, for one. Most people just know it for the pretty fractal pictures it can make. And initially it was just a theoretical toy. But, amongst other nifty things, chaos theory shows how we will never be able to accurately predict the weather, much less be able to control it like...

You're just jealous. All you have is massive postcount, while I get to define reality. :] ;)

Umm, you *have* seen how Eschew and other "no material component" abilities work, right? You *are* aware that that has been thought of for years and accounted for, right? Eschew doesn't work on those spells. Other abilities that have been created usually burn xp. You're bringing up a problem...

Exactly! That's the neat thing about being trained in mathematics. You don't like the results you get, just change the postulates you're using. The scary part is how often such mind games lead to something actually *useful*. :uhoh:

Ah, you confuse me for a seeker of knowledge, when in fact I possess that knowledge. I can prove that counting works and that addition works, which means I can also prove subtraction, multiplication, and division as trivial roots. :) Most importantly, by changing a few postulates, I can prove...

Another of you show ideas get rejected, then? You know, maybe you should try C-SPAN instead. They might like your humour better. :)

Sure. I've seen the way dice roll when people are rolling hit points. Only about the top 75% of the die exists. "Well, lookie there! My barbarian rolled an 11 again! Who'd a thunk it?" :]

Well, I suppose if that's your standards, you're just fine after all. ;)

I'm not talking about THOSE hit points. I'm talkin' 'bout the munchkin-sized d12 HD you get. You never *use* the hit points from rage unless you're in dire need against a main boss. Quit stalling. You know this is all part of your vile plan to take over the world! :]

Your grasp of teh funney is weak today, dear Crothian. I weep for you. I won't be running out of the thread, but I weep for your poor, dead funney. :(

Never goes away, huh? Never goes away? I see your agenda! :] You might fool some people with that line of "reasoning", Mr. I'm-immune-to-criticals-and-oh-did-I-mention-SNEAK ATTACKS-too Ooze? Yeah, never go away. Hah! I know for a painful, bloody fact that sneak attacks go away in about...

Trying operating without one for a couple months and see if you still say the same thing. :)

When it's happening to MY liver? No, no I can't. :p

You may be able to count, but I learned how to prove that counting works in college. :)
