One thing to consider is that SRD states that Diplomacy only works on "others (nonplayer characters)". So Wild Empathy is simply Diplomacy for animals. While it would have seemed logical to allow WE to provide a bonus to all HA checks, unfortunately WotC didn't seem to think that was...

Srd says: Untrained If you have no ranks in Handle Animal, you can use a Charisma check to handle and push domestic animals, but you can’t teach, rear, or train animals. Seems like a no on the training, right? Regarding the speech, I haven't seen anything in RAW. If a person had SwA...

Okay, here is the reformatted version Name: Whyre of White Horn Woods Class: Ranger Race: Human Size: Medium Gender: Male Alignment: Chaotic Good Deity: Str: 12 +1 (02p.) Level: 1 Dex: 16 +3 (05p.) BAB: +1 HP: 12 (1d10+1) Con: 13 +1 (03p.) CMB: +2 Int: 14...

I'm sure you haven't seen anyone play the Dominate spell in such a way. There are undoubtedly many ways to interpret how the spell works. But I'll share with you some of the Rule of the Game statements made specifically about Dominate Person: As with the suggestion spell, it pays to be...

That's just such a ridiculous disanalogy you're losing credibility fast. I didn't say that. I said if they just woke up and they were told to go to sleep in the middle of the day, that might be against their nature. And that's given you're completely ignoring the wink emoticon which suggests...

OMG dude, it's a joke. Get over yourself.

If they just woke up, and they aren't tired, then it would be against their nature to go asleep and they get another saving throw ;) You can't make someone fall asleep with Dominate. You can make them attempt to fall asleep. If the command were simply "go to sleep" and the person were...

How does that Al Pacino quote go? I try to leave but you keep sucking me back in!!!

What racial ability allows you to raise Int to 2? Kaodi, I'll clean up the formatting and repost it with a better template.

I think there are two discussion going on... 1) What it means for a GM to tell a player "that is not how the game is going to be played"? the other... 2) What do you do about someone choosing to play a character that ruins the mood? I have no comment on how people should manage players...

You just did.

Ah, I read that as an in-game objection. There is the source of our disagreement on this matter. If it was OOC, then I would generally agree with your conjecture about the other players.

I don't set alignment restrictions, those are set by the rules of the game. Fact. If a Lawful Good character wants to act evil, that's his/her prerogative. It may just be a very short one. If the game doesn't use alignments, then alignment is a non-issue. The players are free to take...

ANd here is where you lack objectivity. There is no evidence that any other player has a problem with RR's play style. There is no evidence he ruined the mood for anyone but the GM. Players objecting in-game does not say anything about how they feel OOC. In-game, my Nuetral Good Cleric may...

I think you're misinterpreting what I said. If the next time they play and RR tries to do the same thing, and the GM says you can't do that because I already told you that you wouldn't be allowed to do it, what would you call that? I know you do. The fact that you've inserted the world...

That's it. Right there....the heart of the matter. You're upset because the player ruined the mood you were shooting for. What do the Jedi teach? Let go.

If the GM tells a player how to play a character that is operating within the framework of the genre, that is railroading. Trying to confuse the issue with disanologies and suppositions about how the other players feel doesn't change make your case any stronger, it says you want to debate...

During the Vietnam war, there were many reported incidents of soldiers shooting their CO's in the back when ordered to march into a cross fire or certain death situations. Stress causes people to act in ways that they would not otherwise. Do you fully understand the implications of stress on...

Janx, you have a particular penchant for infusing your own fabrications into the actual facts. You are clearly emotionally affected by the idea of playing ZA with RR. As such, there's not much point in responding to your post.

Here's what I see. A bunch of people in this thread who GM, interpreting the factual statements in a way that is closely linked to some situation they have been a part of in the past. DA, you, Janx, are all quick throwout these situations which are not analogous, but clearly indicate the...
