Although I'm reading into this, I'm of the opinion that cure potions are specifically allowed to maintain the DND gameplay quality of "I get hurt, I get healed, I continue playing." Without that single allowance, the VoP guys Needs a guy to heal him magically, and with this, the burden of the...

It takes hours to read a Manual of ________, and unless I'm mistaken, possessing a magic item for that much time, even if it's split up into teeny "let me see that book for a moment, I swear I won't hold it" moments, violates the Vow of Poverty. All magic items save artifacts are pretty...

Did anyone else miss this computer game? Has anyone tried it and can give a review? http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/d2/1.htm Lookie look- 71 page item manual, 88 page spellbook, monsters, armies, cities, total war style map... boy oh boy, it seems too good to be true.

Human, as its hard to be a halfling garrote artist (have to lug a stool around) Skill foci in move silently and hide. Perhaps a weapon focus feat, although with the touch attack it's a bit of overkill really with a decent strength score. The major tactic is "Don't be seen, sneak up behind an...

Have them each sign a blank contract. Then do all the fun stuff mentioned above a few sessions later. Give'm some time to stew in their juices.

Our gaming group rolls their own stuff, and sucks it up when they roll poorly. Roll a 3 to my Spot- I don't see the Orcs. No i don't take 20. No I don't know I did poorly... there was sand in my eyes, I was looking the wrong way. Being able to make up for one's mistakes is sometimes okay...

If you put all the house rules that are bad for them on one side of a scale, and measure them against all the house rules you've made that are good for them on the other side of that same scale, do you think it's balanced? Personally, any flavor that translates into "here's another bad thing...

I'd try to find a bit of common ground in this instance, or find something that the DM will allow that I'd enjoy. As a player, it's nice to have every option available to you, but as a DM, it's acceptible to limit some options if your personal experiences have shown you it's necessary to do so...

Two wary groups, both bearing arms, will most likely have plans of their own is something goes down. If more people show up after introductions are made they might back away... if the other side moves too close they may draw steel, and if the other side draws, they most definitely will- even if...

Bolding mine... I'm somewhat confused, as the title of your thread suggests an out of game problem you have with your brother, but your actual text seems somewhat unsure- focusing first with what he's doing in character, and later pushing it to an out of game issue, with how he's not a big RPer...

What are those doohicks that let you throw spears a long distance )? I mean the sticks with a lil spoonlike notch at a point that cradle thrown weapons... Anyway, those things could make spears or javelins roughly comparable to arrows, and would make an interesting bit of alternative flavor...

Move along, nothing to see here.... :o confirmed my crit for a double post this time I guess..

I'll have to vote for a phrase, rather than a word "In [my homebrew setting]..." and I'll have to put it in a specific context as well: setting pimpers. You know, the posts that are about XYZ, and in comes the poster who made a pdf, or is self-publishing, or is just generally overly enthused...

Have the high priest write a sermon about the sanctity of the church and the everwatchful gaze of Pelor that pierces even the darkest nights etc etc and then him invite them to sit in the first row for that service. If a priest is wise enough to catch on to this misbehavior and doesn't...

I tend to say no to players that bring in names that are designed to be humorous, as I don't really run comedy. Characters can end up in situations that make the players laugh, players can laugh and enjoy themselves making with the merriment (and do typically) but I find it very difficult to...

1. Undead fear positive energy. 2. Cleric is Undead. 3. Undead Cleric fears positive energy. If an Undead Cleric worships a good god, he may very well fear the emanation of positive energy that flows through the holy symbol. Shiver... it's almost like good drow still hating sunlight. The...

In Soviet Russia, d20 rolls you!

It's not so much your DM saying "no you can't" so much as it is your character sheet saying it. If the actions you wish to perform, be it knowing something or doing something, fall under the category of something you have chosen to not take, or simply can't take yet, there's no reason to play...

I read the spell to state that it follows its caster.. it'll always be behind the wizard, and not close enough for him to sit upon without it saying "Whoa I'm not behind him!" and then back away in time for him to land on the floor. This of course, conjured up the alternative of Wizard Mass...

Wee this topic's always fun ^_^ Personally, I don't think Dominate _____ is a line of evil spells. Casting it is not inherently evil, no more than swinging a sword is. If you cast it on someone and tell them to go do some business in the village well and everyone gets cholera... yah that's...
