    D&D General How do you feel about Save or Die?

    I really like save or die. Especially if their care clues that could have helped me avoid it or decide if I really want to do the encounter. And like some foreshadowing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Knowledge skills in combat

    I really like this. One of the mistakes of pathfinder and maybe 3.x too was that a knowledge check was versus the CR of a critter. This is a bad way of doing it. The DC should be based off of how rare a critter is. i did it this way common no check or dc 5 depending on certain circumstances...

    D&D 5E (2014) Knowledge skills in combat

    In fact I’m quite comfortable with every encounter beginning with a knowledge check. He can make a knowledge check every round he sees something new as a non-action. It’s his skill. He trained for it. Let him do it. Round 3. Monster X shows up. Allow a non-action knowledge check. No big deal...

    D&D 5E (2014) Knowledge skills in combat

    Do I make the pe Boy do I disagree. It’s a bear. I don’t make someone spend and action to make a knowledge check that it’s a bear. I don’t make someone spend an action to make a knowledge arcana check that red dragons breathe fire. Knowledge checks are a non-action. Do I make a player make an...

    D&D General Was there ever a time healing as a percentage and not a die amount?

    Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron Is Here Today!

    I’m a book person. Don’t really understand pdf’s at all. But why would anyone in their right mind pay for a pdf. and why would anyone in their right mind try to sell one. People will just give the copy to their friends. And then their friends will give it to theirs. It’s seem ludicrous. Luckily...

    What's the best RPG?

    Also like mutants and masterminds 3E when i really want to cut loose with lots of cool powers. But primarily for me it’s COC 7E and d&d. M&M is a game that should be played by alot more people learn to DM and write for that and creating high level d&d adventures will be easy form you. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mythological Figures: Loki

    I prefer ragnarok to be the end of all, even Midgard. The heroic fighting in the face of the ultimate end of all.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mythological Figures: Loki

    I like the build a lot. But I am biased. Loki to me is that guy that has magic that puts doctor strange to shame and is a little more malicious than mxyzptlck. But that’s my bias. Love the build.

    What's the best RPG?

    I have not been able to wrap my mind around fate yet. Too much fossilization in my brain. I keep trying to get it. But just can’t make the break through. Conceptually I love it. I feel like that idiot player in the game score that every week I have to tell will 1d20 add your proficiency bonus...

    D&D 5E (2014) My biggest gripe with 5e design

    I never saw critical hits used regularly until 3E. They weren’t in the rules. And when we tried them we hated them because monsters make more attack rolls than pc’s and it just meant we got killed all the faster. I still hate them with a passion.

    How to justify bikini armour in your game.

    I adored the incarnations of Immortality series until book 7 which was utter crap.

    What's the best RPG?

    Call of Cthulhu 7E. I am enjoying the lethality of the game. I like the emphasis on problem solving and story. I like that in general you want to avoid combat unless absolutely necessary.

    D&D 5E (2014) Chris Perkins drops 2020 hint!

    I don’t mean exactly like they do it. I am sick of the rewriting continuity and merging earths crap. But a good crossover. Even if it’s a light crossover. Something like the rod of seven parts each in a different world. But if U think i was referring to the way they do it. Heck no. I don’t want...
