    Help! Coincidence or Virus or ???

    I had this hit the other day. I booted up with logging on, and found the driver that was the problem. For me, it was my video card, totally corrupted. Here's the rub. I didn't install a new driver, and there were 12 copies of that damn driver in my driver's directory. Start it up with logging...

    Misunderstood something, my bad. What is it about every paladin thread that some people have to come in and tear them down? Is it just something about the paladin that they hate? Is it something that tjey have to pick at every little thing that Paladin players do? So, in thier eyes, she should...

    Just have her do penance at the next church you come across. "I've dreamt of you, and that your soul was in danger. Dress thee only in sackcloth and go out to help the Widow McKlarick gather in her wheat. Eat thee only blessed bread and drink thee only blessed wine. Attend mass each evening...

    DMs, How Often Do You Declare Circumstance Bonuses/Penalties?

    I give them out a lot. My players try to manipulate the battlefield to their advantage whenever possible. Taking the high ground, manuevering to try to trap their foes in bad situations, etc.

    There's quite a difference, I can agree. See, my Paladin's wouldn't do that, because of a very big thing that can happen. That orc made a vow to become good, to repent, had been questioned, then murdered. The Paladin's own God may raise the orc from the dead, or perhaps the orc would become...

    In my own defense, my first PC was a Paladin. I wrote him up out of our brand new player's handbook with this REALLY COOL fire demon statue and dead lizards on the cover. I played him from like 1979 to 1985 when I left for the Army. LOL I've had a LOT of practice at running Paladins. I can do...

    After reading all of this, I've figured something else out. A lot of our games would be incompatible with one another, even though we're using the basic rules together. My Paladin of Torm, armed with a writ of execution, having already recieved absolution for what he would have to do, spotted...

    If we ever meet, that nice and concise summation of the problem at hand has earned you a whiskey shooter and a mug of beer. Not cheapo US domestic beer either, a nice Weissen.

    That's because they're Lawful Evil. They don't immediately do what everyone wants them to do, which makes them evil, didn't you know? Perhaps we should gather up some Paladins and assualt them. Oh, wait, all the Paladins can do is stand there and go "Tsk tsk tsk" while waving a finger. Unless...

    Since the SRD is a constantly changing entity, why don't we petition to MAKE it RAW?

    Wow, just wow. I waded through all of this, and one thing kept occurring to me. Everyone is slapping modern thought on the actions of a medieval situation. Ever heard the phrase: "get medieval on their asses!" Yeah, that's because certian things were acceptable back then that aren't now...

    The 10-foot pole, antithesis of what adventuring should be?

    Nice try, but please notice that one part... "Properly clothed" That's a big difference. Mickey Mouse boots, facial mask, parka, parka liner, field jacket, field jacket liner. We're talking T-shirt and blue jeans.

    Thoughts on the alignment of Assassins

    Yalius: Thank you for the moral judgements upon me, my wife, my brothers, and many of my friends. You have successfully excersized American's First Amendment Rights. Hat off to you, sirrah.

    Oh sure, bring the rules into the arguement. I see how you are! :D

    Retreating *is* an option!

    Tanglefoot bags, Rock to Mud, iron caltrops, showers of arrows, there are a ton of ways to keep foes from chasing wildly after you. Add in haste, fly, expeditious retreat, dimension door, and other such spells, retreating is an option, even if it's a full withdrawl followed by step by step...

    Retreating *is* an option!

    Recently my d20 Modern players had to retreat, and in a hurry. They went into a city to grab medicine and a portable X-Ray machine from a hospital. It's Year Four of the Rising, and that meant zombies would probably be the least of their problems. The hospital was home to a Wolf Pack (Lord of...

    Thoughts on the alignment of Assassins

    Careful there, sparky. Anyway... Soldiers fall under the same heading as adventurers and assassins, if you want to be serious about it. The definition of good and evil should be applied to their life outside of the battlefield, how they treat prisoners, how they comport themselves according to...
