Yes, yes and yes. One of the most oldest compaints about D&D across all editions is that it isn't actually a role playing game, its just a combat simulator for hack and slash play.

For me the issue with the Barbarian wasnt the strength of the class, it was the virtual inability to play with the rest of the group due to the restriction on association with Clerics and Magic Users and the need to destroy magic items. For a group based game about killing things and taking...

No. Cavaliers, Barbarians, dodgy overblown races, our viking hatted DM forbade them all. The polearm pictures were quite nice and I used the Orc panthenon in subsequent games.

Hey, you have to remember. TSR in its 1e days produced all of those hardbooks for love, never for something as dirty as profit. *my kingdom for a roley eyes smiley*

This isn't really true. There are plenty of powers that allow you to heal and buff without ever having to hit anything at all.

Except you didnt find flaws, you jumped up and down shouting "I hate it" like you do in every 4e thread. Its that sort of behaviour, on both sides of the fence, which seems to be causing the most damage.

My main recollection of UA was it being utterly panned in every review I ever read of it. "Unearthed from the trash heap" is I think the nicest thing I saw written about it.

Original boxed set Dark Sun please.

If you havent done so might I recommend watching the Stormhawks cartoon. It has some similarities with what you are proposing.

This. A million times this.

While my memory may not be what it used to be I do recall mention of the Cult forcibly creating Dracolihes or creating them from Dragons which had died, ergo, unwilling Dracoliches. Roleplaying, serious busniess... Also, fanstasy and thinking too hard spring to mind. Where is Hong when you...

I recal seeing something about H1 being reprinted fairly on in the process but I have no inclination to go digging up links.

I agree with you, I thoroughly enjoy the critical hit system. When the party wizard crit Ray or Frosted the succubus sorceress he was grappling to death just before her flaming sphere killed off the Paladin and Cleric I had players doing victory laps around the table.

We have had unwilling Dracoliches since FR's Cult of the dragon. Maybe if, when you posted your opinion, you did something other than jumping up and down and screaming "I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!" like a petulant four year old you might get a better response.

Dear god you are tedious. Please find a new record.

Use the primary and secondary skills as a guide. Ask the players what they are doing. Play out the scene. If the players plan seems like it should work go down the "say yes" route. If there is some doubt then get them to make their checks as you play through the scene until it is resolved.

OK, I just finished reading through my copy of P1. Overall I am pretty impressed. The location it is set in brings with it lots of possibilities. I could easily see using the area as the basis of a longer game with the players gradually becoming aware through the Heroic tier of the growing...

You could always adapt something like Red Box Hack. Redbox Hack

I am in a similar position. I dont have any (or at least very few) run of the mill fights. If the weapons come out then its normally important to the game and I dont mind spending an hour or so on it.

Curse you and your irrefutable logic. On a more serious note the problem isn't whether you acted in an appropriate way, it's that you have a jerk for a GM.
