Two things that strike me as odd- the first being the town guard wanting to throw every party member in jail because one of them (the Cleric of Pelor.. I'm assuming he's a party member) gave lip to the Cuthbertian guard. I know of guilt by association, but I can still see the other players...

Now that's just mean... Almost as mean as the variant "Satan's Codpiece" but still quite mean. As for the remainder of the thread, I gotta toss my vote in with people suggesting no cap for ranged weaponry. It is already obvious that the Composite Longbow is the superior weapon and "only...

Concentration is already almost required to play a caster. A couple wizards who are either really confident in their ability to not get into melee may opt to not invest in the skill, as may a couple who either have no intentions of spelunking into dungeons. This would shunt the skill straight...

If he attempts to justify it as what his character would do, then he should be rolling move silently and hide checks to shadow the other PC. I can absolutely see a DM having a "private" conversation with a PC and one or more others actually hearing it all, but in the interest of fairness (in...

Man, I'm just picturing this ancient wizard in the multiverse somewhere playing cards with a god or two going "Yeah, so get this, remember that box? You know- the one that lets people put in things of great value and pull our less valuable items? They're STILL using it! Those Primers, I tell...

I don't think it's too early. It's a great Epic level class ("I lose a caster level? erm.. sign me up.") but it's also a fine normal level. I was planning to pick up 2 levels Hiero for my Cleric ASAP, but it's gone on hiatus.

Fortunately for B5 however, you only have to blow up a starbase once to do the job. ^_^ Unfortunately, I do have to concur that the biggest gun in Star Trek's arsenal is it's style of fiction. ST wins because it adapts and makes technological leaps that defy the realism of it's setting, while...

Babylon 5 ships have the great advantage over ST ships in their ability to use hyperspace. While we talk about ST ships running circles around B5 ships in actual combat, B5 ships will never be interdicted by a ST fleet. A fleet of jump-capable ships could fly across ST borders, pop out of...

I have found some very informative sites for this discussion that I hope will help solve this baffling issue. =D

Man, I'd probably make a work-a-day guy expecting to get by barely with his bills or maybe go on to become something interesting by circumstance... I'd be all Oh deary gotta pay the bills, can't be late for dinner again, and i'd get all psyched up about this character and then he'd be...

I couldn't picture my group enjoying the game with as much consistancy if there wasn't a "voice of authority" present. I agree that being DungeonMaster doesn't give you the spanking paddle. It doesn't afford you any more respect than you'd expect the other players present and not present to...

Whoa, this thread not only satisfies the internet Grammar Nazi Law but it also satisfies Godwin's Law. (and rapidly I might add!) Although I suppose all GNL threads satisfy G'sL.

If we say that Invisibility makes opaque objects transparent, then the lantern light would appear through the shutters. The light being given off from it isn't really that much different from the light we see being reflected off the walls behind the invisible people. Light passes through the...

I might look to the EL adjustment tables if alignment makes the encounter easier, the same as if the party owning the higher ground at the onset of a ranged fight made it easier. In regards to it applying to Good creatures only, personally I've seen so many paladins and good characters start...

I think it's entirely plausible for a fictional weapon to work as such. ^_^ Unless i'm picturing it wrong, however, I'd think the ball would be destroyed by the saber's activation. Unless its a cortosis ball- but I'm sure we could all agree that would better for the hittee than the hitter. I...

How'd you manage to convince your DM that a kender would sleep through something as interesting as a couple night battles! Imagine the excitement. :) Unfortunately moving seems like the only real option if whatever these forces are that you face are continually sending stuff capable of...

A tall order for we internet folk. With all the divergent lines of conversation that go on in threads that amass 4 pages, it's unrealistic to expect people to follow your exact (yet utterly implied by the end) opinion of "help" as running to get guards. The original post listed a number of...

I think 1k xp for a level 5 character is a fine warning shot... however, it's a warning shot for something like level loss. Personally, if the biggest immediate punishment I planned to muster was expulsion from the game, I'd tell the player to take the next session off and be explicit in...

The thought of hatchets exploding on impact is sad though.. As long as it isn't necessary to have QD to get off more than two hatchets around (assumption: one hatchet in each hand) I'm happy.

Oh I'd say that intervening in the brutal murder of someone at the hands of a gang of armed individuals is quite risky. :o We don't have the details exactly, but only a hero would approach a group of armed thugs who are in the process of killing someone to cease and desist.
