    Setting the DC for social situations

    There are two ways to look at this problem, I think. You have to decide how devoted you are to the character's abilities in the game, and also how much you want the player to solve problems and get a little more involved. My girlfriend plays a paladin with a 20 charisma. Her diplomacy bonus...

    Why the paladin fails: It's all about OPTIONS

    The thing about D&D is that it's a class and level based system. D&D is a system built on archetypes, and the classes by nature are somewhat restrictive. If you want a lot of options, go play a White Wolf game or something that throws classes away altogether. How many options can you give a...

    Automatic Criticals

    He's an arcane archer using true strike, but with very little magical equipment.

What I meant when I said the system can be pretty transparent is that the rules are very general, and something about the presentation and nature of the rules lends itself to more focus on role-playing and character development. D&D...

    Sell me on Exalted!

    COSMIC FRIKKIN' POWER! I was a hardcore D&D player, but recently I played my first White Wolf games. I started out playing a short Mage: The Ascension game and then moved into an Exalted game. Something about the White Wolf system encourages good role-playing for me. The books are far less...

    Mounted Combat Questions

    The paladin in our group recently acquired a unicorn mount. All sort of fun questions have come up since then. The main questions deeal with the mount attacking. I know that a ride check DC 10 allows a rider to attack normally even if a mount attacks. So... Can a paladin take other actions...
