Curious I'm not trying to be mean [/preface] Have you played a wizard with a pair of 14s? Technik

I couldn't vote. I'm somewhere between needing a 16 and needing a 14 (every character doesn't need a 16, but I think it would be difficult to play a character whose highest score was 14 (assuming every other score is lower)). For instance 15,14,13,12,10,8 is fine and I have played before...

To be honest, I think Tolkien's characters are a bad example of this. The fellowship would certainly be hard to stat using something like 28 pt buy, in any case. But consider these fantasy archtypes: -The lone swordsman meets some friends and vanquishes evil, at the end of the story, goes back...

'Tis true, they aren't, however in my experience there are 2 kinds of Mr. Low Charismas: -The ones who rarely contribute anything to an NPC reaction, occasionally spark side-quests and roleplaying, but mostly want to sit back and have fun in combat and then leveling and dividing loot. They...

Not according to pgs 169-170 of the DMG. To clarify, the method was: Roll 4d6 for each ability score, re-rolling 1s Roll 7 times, dropping the lowest score altogether Anyone can use anyone else's stats (only 1 person needs to roll high, and every campaign someone would get an 18,16,16,14,14,12...

Again with the 'suffering'. I am just curious whether you go after the PCs with the 8 Dex, Str, or Con - or do you consider their mechanical drawbacks to be sufficient? Your argument also assumes that someone can gauge someone's Charisma rather quickly upon meeting or speaking with them for a...

Heh. I think the reactions to this feat are funny giving the previous discourse involving a PrC with improved Sneak Attack acquisition. This I would never allow a rogue to have. The entire concept of a sneak attack faces certain limitations; removing those makes the rogue too useful in more...

I meant to say that in an earlier post too. Technik

You didn't address any of my concerns from an earlier post. If a party has a leader/negotiator/charisma guy to do all their social interaction on a town/job basis, then the only way to 'harry' a character with low charisma is to make life difficult for him in town or random encounters (by making...

<Cringe> Is that why the DM's job is? I thought we were all supposed to have fun... Thats just it though. I consider people with low charisma to be anti-social people, in one way or another. As a DM, I can't roleplay the PCs charisma, I can only react to it. And we are talking about PCs with a...

Charisma will play a part in the campaign, but assuming a group dynamic: A) The party will have a negotiator who by and large will do the diplomat thing, having someone with low charisma in your group shouldn't necessarily skew any reaction towards a group as a low charisma implies a low...

The people in question aren't really munchkins, but for the entirety of their D&D careers have used rather generous rolling techniques (4d6 drop lowest, 7 times, drop lowest). The old DM (who will be a player of mine) also allowed anyone to use anyone's rolls (thus trying to not penalize someone...

Oddly enough I just posted my 'heroic array' in general discussion. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=128807 Basically let the player assign 16,15,14,13,12,11 as they wish. They can raise the 16 to an 18 by lowering the 11 to a 7. The 7 cannot be placed in Charisma unless it would...

I know everyone uses a lot of different ways to roll your scores, but this is an array I'm using to premake a bunch of 'heroes' for my new AE campaign. 16,15,14,13,12,11 You can raise the 16 to an 18 by lowering your 11 to a 7. I'm a big fan of 'heroic' heroes, IMC anyone who wants an 18 in...

Although Silence could conceivably stop 9th level spells, I think its a stretch to make it sound as powerful as you do. The biggest weakness is it only prohibits Verbal spellcasting, so if you have any silent spells memorized or the appropriate feat, you can get around that. Second, only Bards...

Agreed. I'm interested to see the Vile Assasin! Also, I'd make my own thread but I really want to think of a good drawback that makes sense and fits the class. Nothing's come to me yet... Technik

Thanks! Just dled all the Cydra .docs off the group! I can't believe no one wants to play a Tabaxi! Those guys are cool and it seems like a race with ECL and HD adjustments that are worth giving up the levels (at a glance). Anway, keep up the great work updating this badass story. Oh, and I...

Thanks for the constructive criticism! Did you have such useful observations when 3.5 came out too? [/sarcasm] Technik

Hah, I got caught up on this one. Chief Jawbreaker reminds me of Cpt Clambake ;) And Naomi going Psion/Elementalist reminds me of that Wiz/Sor who rose to some prominence (wasn't he a mayor?). Arrr! Ezekial is cool, I'm sure the party dynamics will be interesting as once again Good and Evil...

In my experience there aren't many PrCs that couldn't be easily defined as a base class with a couple 'penchants' or special abilities. Yet they proliferate like nothing else. Do you need the Assasin PrC? No. According to the DMG, all PrCs are optional by nature. However, in a campaign where...
