    A different way of handling equipment

    Once you got a useful bit of equip wouldn't you need to write it down anyway? For the DM this is a pretty good idea.... as a player if I gat the cool tool from teh bag of holding I'd still want to note it so I can use it again. Do you have a "Handy" DC table? I'm curious to see it.

    Action-less combat

    A starting point might be, to rate the types of actions one could take. I propose this for not all actions are equal Lets say to normal mve no balace check is 1 With balace check DC< 10 = 2 w/Balance check DC> 10 = 3 Double move = double cost Attack is 10 and so forth... each 5 points of...

    On players and DMs.

    I've been watching a fair number of threads on similar subjects and thought this might prove an interesting angle..... We all agree the Player/DM dynamic is a fragile thing.... what makes it break down? What can be done to fix it? To start: The collapse of trust breaks more games than...

    What Do You Appreciate From Your DM(s)

    Falcon in all due fairness you need to post the otherside of this coin as well.... DMs what do you appreciate about your players?

    Action-less combat

    LostSoul unless I miss my guess the system you long for is 2e and maybe 1e. Simple no complex action sequence..... just up to the DM and players to House Rule or otherwise make up whatever was needed.:)

    The stupid expectations of some DMs...

    JLXC you may be an exception. Your points are well made on the subject of Hero... your style is not common. I actually think you've inspired me to a post..... this one on: lazy DM's killed the Hero. In order to play hero there has to be some incentive, not from a character point of view, but...

    Craft: Song Lyrics/Poetry?

    DOING poetry is a perform it does not say that writing it is. Craft is the mechanic for Creating..... its the only option which provides a mechanic for quality of work. (Time) x (check) = (value) works pretty well as a guideline of reversed computation of Craft. Profession is for service...

    To multiclass or not to multiclass? That is the question.

    It depends on the degree of Multi-Classing.... a couple levels each so that the group has backup is NEVER a bad thing. Do not put all your eggs in one basket..... doing so is very bad and very foolish. Just my thoughts though. Some thing complement others better. Not many classes are not in...

    YAAT Good is just passe?

    Blame it on Ignatious Lyola.... your troubles are founded in Jesuit ideology. Also Good is about action its about what you do. I do have an issue with Mercy though..... Its very hard for ANY player to seperate the knowledge that mercy WILL stab you in the back from character perspective. As a...

    The stupid expectations of some DMs...

    Fuel! In my game a HERO is somebody who will attempt the incredible or impossible, and I reward that sort of play! Posted by JLXC Lord if I had a dollar for every DM I've heard say this..... you may be different but I am skeptical. Can you site anything.... cost vs. benifit.... what do you...

    At what price?

    Currently this is more in the realm of rule philosophy but will make its way into House Rules later.... How would one make a Foe of the Wand prestige class and have it be fair and balanced in 3e? I'm looking at trying to whip up the Wizardly version of the Forsaker... he could use his own...

    Leveling: How do you do it?

    On the fly unless its a big diversion from what they had or is in the party. We figured the PCs had learned most of what they needed before starting and were just learing how to use it or practicing that which they knew. If the party Wizard suddenly wants Monk levels and the party aint got one...

    I never thought....

    For the record Solo was also cool in my book. And why are badies always cool you ask..... they can accessorize their stuff looks cooler.

    Am I completely off base?

    Nightfall I just got back from vacation in your neighboring state.... West Virginia is a very beautiful state I live in envy. Crothian for me it would be very important.... a few years ago I didn't take a job based on the fact that the town it was in didn't even have a shop.... the nearest...

    Am I completely off base?

    Hey reapersaurus how is life treating you? The lame excuse for liking low level is.... it lets you get more in touch with your character (?). They seem to think that playing from lvl1 will make for a more natural character.... you make all your development decisions based on "role-playing...
