    Is D&D a setting or a toolbox?

    I think D&D is a setting that provides tools to adapt it (at least in some of the editions). D&D elves are distinctly D&D elves. You can certainly adapt them, but that's not the default. When I play a D&D Wizard, it is distinctly a D&D Wizard. Even if I play in a D&D setting like Greyhawk...

    Pathfinder 1E Rogue with ranged weapon and standing from prone

    When it comes to combat and utility, the Ninja far outstrips the rogue. Rogues don't get - Feather Fall (feather fall) - Forgotten Trick (assess to any other Ninja trick) - Shadow Clone (mirror image) - Vanishing Trick (invisibility) - Assassinate (better than the assassin) - Ghost Step (walk...

    why touch attacks?

    I did not say you don't dodge, I said, "dodging a single attack." It's a phrase not a single word. Just as the SRD quote is a phrase, "dodge area attacks." Potato/Potato. :) There is no difference between defending against touch attacks and defending against an arrow or bolt. There's a big...

    why touch attacks?

    SRD Touch Attacks Touching an opponent with a touch spell is considered to be an armed attack and therefore does not provoke attacks of opportunity. However, the act of casting a spell does provoke an attack of opportunity. Touch attacks come in two types: melee touch attacks and ranged touch...

    why touch attacks?

    Rogues become immune to touch attack spells in addition to reflex save spells. Great. And what about critical hits? I know I like it when my Disintegrate can deal 2x damage because I rolled a 20. Or how about armor doesn't effect Reflex saves but it does Touch AC? Or that certain classes...

    Rules Question: Can you use Phase Door while within a Dimensional Lock?

    A picky point here. The spell doesn't say "similar spells" only similar spell-like or psionic abilities. Which is why the question about Phase Door. I agree about wish and limited wish, if they're used to recreate a spell effect which is blocked. In my opinion, Phase Door, which is a core...

    OSR "Rules & Regulations": An Essay on the OSR

    Personally, I think it's the desire for players to not have to concern themselves with rules. Only one person at the table has to concern themselves with the rules of the game, everyone else just says what they're doing and then rolls whatever dice they're told to roll. It's a nice break from...

    OSR "Rules & Regulations": An Essay on the OSR

    D&D has never been the "best" game. It has always been a mess. It was simply the first game and the biggest.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder w/o Cleric?

    A magic item from 3.5 that would be helpful is a Belt of Healing. 3 charges a day, 1 charge 2d6, 2 charges 3d6, 3 charges 4d6. It's good from low to medium level, but then quickly becomes irrelevant. You could create a magic item that swaps arcane magic for a cure spell of the same level (up to...

    The 7-Day RPG Contest [Voting is over!]

    I think it would take at least a week to read through them all. I wrote mine based on a universal mechanics theme, thinking that it could either be easily adaptable to whatever genre someone wanted to play, or that it could be broken up into genre specific themes prior to publication. People...

    Ranking Superhero Movies: EN World's Top Ten!

    It's The EN World 7-Day RPG Contest! $1000 Prize!

    Well here's my 7 day challenge. I probably could have spent another day on it, but alas, family time. The game is called Pin (Play It Now) Role Playing Game. These are the core rules. The game is not setting specific or genre specific. If I did my job correctly, you shouldn't have any...

    Question regarding the 7-Day RPG Contest

    Oh I know, just seems odd is all. :)

    Question regarding the 7-Day RPG Contest

    These are just general impressions. I'll probably submit something because it sounds like fun, which is enough motivation for me to do anything lol. Just struck me as odd from a theoretical stand point. My guess is the best entry will win because it is the best entry. :)

    Question regarding the 7-Day RPG Contest

    I think B's motivation is $1000 and getting published. Not one or the other. For instance, if there wasn't a $1000 prize, you would still get as many people contributing for the chance to get published. You could then reward those that actually get published. Or voting creates the top three...
