IRL they are a bit better but not much. I suppose I'm selfish... I dont like to share with someone who doesn't contribute. I don't think uselessness should be rewarded. Their getting an equal share deminishes my effort.

Would the bump having a lower level at the end mean anything to me.... YES! We used to try but after 7 years we gave up... except the DM who continues to write things for a player who doesn't help out... so no they are not out of the way, they cannot be forgotten, they are a burden and are...

We're not at odds... there are 6 of us (currently) and one of them we've been carrying for a decade. I do find it offensive that the quite/shy useless bump at the end of the table who's been casting the SAME spell for 10 years to no effect, who has NOT ONCE solved anything is now the same level...

I truely loved RuneQuest.

My DMing philosophy is.. I reward the player who contributes to the story. I reward facilitators.

Geryon You folks are cattle.

Crafting a great character is a LOT of work, it's a benefit to the game.... do you think just having your job is it's own reward? Do you not want a bonus for being the best? If a person excels they should be rewarded. It's not fair nor balanced for the weak links to be carried by their...

I know I know its hard to believe... Now I'm sure many of you have changed this so concider yourself warned.... I loathe the everybody gets equal XP system in 3e, I can't state the amount of this loathing... there's a profanity filter. I miss bonus XPs, I miss roleplaying bonuses, I miss all...

Yeenoughu! The Demon Lord of the gnolls was always my favorite.

Yes, they do. Different types of bonuses stack (as a general rule).

I love this spell! Nightmarish.

Thats how I thought it was I just had a couple of people disagree with my stance on another board and I thought I'd double check. Thank you.

Do Metamagics which effect different parts of a spell stack? Example: Empowered, Extended Acid Arrow Is this 3d4 for the first increment of time and 2d4 after or is it 3d4 for the whole extended duration?

Any ideas on how to bring spell seeds into the non epic range?

This is a write up of a popular gun from my campaign... for example. Dynamo Ogre Rifle. Damage:4d8 Crit threat:19-20 Range: 200 magazine: 1 weight:45 lbs cost: 4500 gps cost per shot: 8gp shells (4 to a pound) fire rate: slow (partial action) 20gps more for a monopod (firing stand) Special...

As long as you restrict (or aleast make it prohibitively expensive) enchanting guns... the bow has a place forever. Truely I never had a problem with it. Never had an archer (lots of sword/weapon masters) but the world wasn't lesser for it. Guns and powder are expensive... fanshooting will blow...

Would I be to far off by thinking the Magic system would be a mixture of Sorcerer's... this covers the specialized tricks of the individual casters fairly well. And a NON- Epic version of casting via spell seeds... this would cover ALL the other magic used, as well as the incredible variety of...

Shirt Guy, Looks nice. I dont think its at all necessary to curse users of guns, I've intermixed guns and spells for years without any real problems... its never created a balance issue for me. Now if you NEED to make a penalty for flavor reasons then... I suggest SR vs beneficial magics. Also...

Limit it to one caster per party... have them draw straws for the honor. Only NPCs cold be spell casters. Don't allow a caster till higher level, at which point they start lower than the rest of the group... doing this would get the players into a character (that didn't cast) and thus they might...

Through out the BC books many of the spell wielders have a greatly extended life span, however there is no pattern between the Power of the caster and his level of aging, so this is my take on how I’d handle it if I were writing the world up. I prefer accuracy over balance… (but my views of...
