I am probably not being clear in my posts. I have no issue with non lethal damage being something that a character could get better at taking and realizing they could take more. However, I take umbrage that anyone at any point could look at a line of sword wielding "veterans" and say "I...

In the end, we may have to agree to disagree. How? Seriously, how does a soldier know that knife won't hurt him as much this time? How does he know the bullet will only be an inconvenience? And why would he willingly run past people with pointy metal and allow each of them to get an attack...

/way off topic I merely find the idea of hit points too abstract for my taste. Further, I don't like how hit points effects role playing. At first level, no one is going to rush past five monsters who can use an AoO to get to the bad guy, no matter how wimpy the monsters are, because that...

Please don't misunderstand! I may not be currently playing d20 but I still respect the game and its players. I am merely amused that the game has gotten complicated to the point of definitions contradicting themselves. For myself, I don't like that the same mechanic means being hit or...

To the second point, yes. I don't like hit points and yes, what I am talking about could be applied to regular attacks. To the first point, I don't like metagaming such that saying "I will only take 20% hit point damage" is acceptable. Even with lots of hit points, who wants to be hit? Why...

And if it works for you and your group, that's great! In the end, that's all that matters. I will agree to this statement if we can change it to: Which isn't realistic, it's true, but the odds of a [unskilled combatant] getting lucky and one-hit-killing [a skilled combatant] are so small...

That was an awesome description! And I am with you, I would love it if players did that more often! Have a good one! Take care! edg

Um . . . isn't your response the essence of metagaming? I mean, I don't know anyone who has ever been cut deeply or shot who wants to repeat the experience! Further, the *rules* support the fact that a sword with no special killing ability CAN NOT kill a high(er) level character in a single...

My issue with AoO's is not the rules or the idea behind them. AoO make sense to me in that if a person is running past people ready with pointy metal, they should get a chance to attack him. My problem comes from the metagaming that happens, including most of the examples in this thread...

You are quite welcome. Glad I could help! Have a good one! Take care! edg

Aha! Found it! My google-fu is back! It is called Hero Lab by Wolf Lair. I am not sure if it has all of the capabilities of Metacreator but it looks like it is trying to compete with it. Eventually. Thanks all! Have a good one! Take care! edg

Thanks for the reply! No, that's not it. Maybe it was on a page with a compiled list of rpg tools? Ugh! I can't remember! I only remember it wasn't yet released. They were close, and were going for a october release? But it wasn't out yet. It was a stand alone program that is supposed...

Help! My google fu is weak! Somehow, I got to a site talking about a new character creation program that is very customizable. However, I don't remember the name. It is supposed to be out soon and I think it had the name "hero" in it but am not sure. It led me to Metacreator, which is a...

Not really, no. That's not how I took it. This seems like a leading question heading towards no, imo. However, perhaps that is not what the OP intended. Part of my answer, though, is that as I understand it the release date was only yesterday. I doubt people have had enough time to...

But do you have it yet? I don't get items right away, so even though this is the week for it, I might not get it for a while. So, for me at least, it will be a while before I can compare it to anything. Have a good one! Take care! edg

So . . . If you have played [the module that's out], how enjoyable will [the module that's not out] be? Is that what you are asking? How can I know that when I don't have the item that's not out? Seriously? I don't know how I could know it before I can see it, read it and play it. Have...

Yeah, I found dosbox and I found that they say it works but I haven't figured out exactly what I need to do. If I find out, I will post it here. Thanks for the advice! Have a good one! Take care! edg

Greetings! I think I know the answer to this but thought I would ask anyway. Does anyone know of a way to play Dark Sun 2 Wake of the Ravager on XP? It seems to need a CDROM emulator and I can't get that to work. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Have a good one! Take care! edg

That is terrible news. I really liked Blade. I thought it was done very well and I looked forward to every new episode. It was on my "must watch" list. I liked that they didn't focus much on Blade because as others have said, his character isn't that deep. So, they brought in some good...

My wife and I thought about Buffy as well, but I think a lot of scifi shows have done this. I liked it. I thought it would be "eh" as well but I liked how it flowed from the previous episode. I liked that it was the replicators. And I liked it was a battle of wills as much as a physical...
