I don't really see any "rotification" with revised. I mean, it has been a long time since I played it (or really read the books) but they seem quite easy. If you know a spell as a rote, then it's slightly easier to cast. It's well practised. But you could easily just make your spells as you go...

Hmm, this thread makes me want to introduce gestalts to 4.0... those old editions really were a different age. I wish I could find games that still played second edition. How close did Baldur Gate simulate second edition rules?

People don't hate Tieflings because they drop-kick Badger minions, they hate them because they call themselves Chant and then spend most of the adventure chanting and handing out brochures to emo concerts. Seriously I kinda liked the video, it was amusing. Didn't do anything for my interest in...

I came to Mage with revised, having said that I don't really have a problem with Rev and never understood what people have against it. It seems perfectly useable for me in play. Although I'll agree with you on the monstrosity of nWoD Mage. Yes lets suck all the enjoyment and originality out of...

Who CARES! Do you KNOW what THIS means?! Blizzard has blessed us from above! Hail the new Diablo 3! DnD, Diablo, other RPGs.... my life is blessed. I didn't know that it could come to this...

What is a "gish" anyway? I thought it was a fighting class that used magic to fight better.

Unfortunately the link doesn't seem to work with me, must have something to do with the new forum (I just got a nice greeting as a notice on that topic). I'm currently giving my players two free trained skills, as long as they don't copy anything covered by the skills we already have and don't...

Oohh, Mage. I want to see Porthos Fitzempress fight... whoevers the top mage in those parts. I think any Hermetic would sell his manhood to be ported to DnD. Spell components are easier to find, no paradox. They can nicely go behind their little protection spells and scourge the landscape. I...

What does everyone think of fantasygrounds? Is it worth it? Does it give anything above maptools?

After reading that I'm thinking of replacing them with Melniboneans, come to think of it I might replace the deities with Moorcockian mythology...

I'm hoping for 3-4 people. And thanks everyone for your replies so far!

The funny thing is that when I read that quote on a thread over here earlier, I thought he meant retarded people.

I agree with the OP in theory, because it's correct, in theory. And no, the OP had nothing to do with Wizards being super powerful. I have the same thoughts and I've never played a Wizard in my life (will change though). However in practice I believe that 4.0, despite its many flaws (oh there...

Thiefling is the new Rouge Oh... I am definitely stealing that joke for ingame purposes *writes it in his DM notepad*

I agree with the OP about how to handle it (I have the same house rule) I would like to note that it's perfectly sensible for some armours to resize themselves automatically to their wearer. This makes sense if you wish to create (for example) a Full Plate armour as a family heirloom. If you...

Ok, this has annoyed me for quite a while, but let's hear some opinions on it. Thieflings seem to be the "bad boy" race. I find that the best way to describe them is with three sentences. Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. But now on to what really annoys me. The names they choose...

Almost correct. I think that if a king wants a specific item (+3 Sword of Wack) he'll either buy some residuum from the Merchant and have it made by a Cleric/Priest/Wizard or whatever or ask the Merchant to craft the item for him (I assume that Enchant Item would be a popular ritual amongst...

Do you have a source for that? I'd love to read more about it.

Hehe, I like that. Excellent suggestions. If the campaign ever goes that direction I'll certainly use them The irony of this thread is that he now wants to be a ex-weapon merchant and.. a collector of weapons. I think I'll just let him sleep on it for a week or so. I'm sure he'll stop...

A masochistic streak. Random class/race generation. Because Halflings make them jolly.
