Sorry, I've sorta been occupied with a few things over the weekend. I also got a copy of Five Nations in and figured I'd mine it for Cyre-based character information, though I posted a short casual background earlier, which I should probably flesh out, but. Anything else I need to know?

Actually, a full-attack skirmish should be able to be obtained by a Psion/Scout/Elocater, who eventually is able to take two five-foot steps per round, and therefore moves ten feet and can perform a full-round action. Large investment, admittedly, since Capricious Step comes in at Elocator 7...

Depends on what sort of optimization we're talking about, here? I mean, for pure arcane cheese it's hard to do better than the Cheater of Mystra. But if we're talking powergaming as in tactical stuff and the like -- how about trying a Fighter going all the way to 20 who specializes in combat...

Actually, I'm less interested in "Do you enjoy it?" than "Did you used to enjoy it and now dislike it?" and "Did you used to dislike it and now enjoy it?" What I'm interested in is the idea that somehow the setting used to be good, but as a result of new material/inconsistencies/etc. it is now...

Okay, Felon, you were right. >.> Let's just hope that enough people skew the other way to average out. Though the more substantial answers on either side are worth way more than the poll itself, I think.

Just a random idea that occurred to me: There is an interesting roleplaying game that I've known of for awhile called Lexicon: An RPG -- see link for more information. It's occurred to me that this might actually be a very interesting little experiment for shared homebrew worldbuilding, or to...

Yes: "I formerly had high hopes about/liked/enjoyed/otherwise positive about the Realms, but have now been disillusioned." No: "I have not been disillusioned and therefore still have the positiveness referred to previous." Other: "Any opinion not radially derivative from the previous two."...

What made you change your mind, exactly?

While we're on the subject, what do you think of its treatment of psionics?

...are you sure you're in the right thread? ^.^;

I must admit that I normally think of polls as bait for a thoughtful response. But I think it's reasonably apparent that being "disillusioned" implies that you were "illusioned" in the first place. Alternately, there's "Other" or not responding to the poll, which I suppose is technically some...

Hey, Gary -- this is something that I've just been curious about, though I haven't followed the thread in its entirety so possibly you may have answered it in some previous part, but: What's your preferred way to roll for stats?

Sister poll of the Eberron thread, because it occurred to me that comparison could be good. Similar questions: · How do you feel about the setting now, and why do you feel that way? · Are you as happy with it as you are Greyhawk and Eberron, the other two supported settings? · Are you as...

See the title. One of my friends mentioned to me that a lot of the people she knows have been disillusioned by Eberron when they used to like it, so I thought I'd take a straw poll of those of you who've actually messed around with it. Some guiding questions: · How do you feel about the...

I think this makes a lot of sense, mostly because both elements actually share a common trait: Deep interest in and willingness to spend out-of-session time on the game. By the way, about dipping into multiple prestige classes -- I had this really nifty idea for a changeling wizard who obsesses...

Here's the mentality I don't get: That somehow character optimization and good roleplaying are mutually exclusive, and that a movement toward one inherently requires a movement away from the other.

Similarly with a necromancer, in fact. Also, um, possibly eventually me, if/when I ever get to those caster levels. Just a reminder to everyone, by the way, to take some appropriate Craft ranks so that you can repair yourself. I notice that I'm the only melee fighter in the party. I think...

Just thought I'd mention in a footnote that my own feeling is that the Book of Exalted Deeds and the Book of Vile Darkness are actually incompatible with Eberron. In Eberron, "good" and "evil" is less pure and objective than it is the equivalent of a "blood type," or so Keith Baker says. A...

I seem to remember that Eberron has the "even good people can do evil things in the name of good, and vice versa" theme, so perhaps intent is what you're more interested in -- or is it different in this campaign? Fixed my character sheet, by the way; I figure I'll just do Silver Tracery with a...

Dead Gods, the old Planescape module. It is really very, very cool, in my opinion, and someone's already done a conversion, I think.
