Reverse-Culture-Shock here. Sort of. My brother works in the US (I am an Americanadian...or Canadamerican...take your pick ;) and I live in Canada...since '79). When he told me how much money he and his wife make...wow! You're RICH! Then he told me about Health Insurance and his "hours of work"...

Hiya! Don't use the rules...use the concept...and leave it up to the DM to decide if "Flanking" is possible on a case by case, round by round, action by action basis. If the Player(s) can't handle that sort of trust with the DM...then yeah, maybe don't use it. ^_^ Paul L. Ming

True, but...uh... and I mean this with all due respect... so what? CR's are a horrible way to try and judge how 'tough' a monster or encounter will be simply because CR doesn't work for most games. From my experience and reading on these forums, the vast majority of DM's will "adjust" the...

Hiya! Sounds good on paper....but you know the saying about "power"... ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! If you publish it yourself, go for it. Otherwise...well..."difficult" would be my guess. At least the "publishing" part. Writing it is significantly easier. I've had adventure ideas that I thought would be cool for multiple game systems. Usually, actually. It's more rare for me to...

Hiya! Not sure how smart it is for the "freelancers" to support this move. I mean, the freelancers are the direct competition of the union workers. If/when they get a union, there is nothing stopping the union from saying "Ok, we want no more than 20% of work done by freelancers, and ALWAYS...

Hiya! Fun fact, out of every single Fighter that's been played by my players over the 6'ish years we played 5e...only ONCE has someone chose something other than Champion. And we don't even use Feats or Multiclassing. Honestly? I think it's because I don't "build encounters to the PC's...

Hiya! Go watch the last few seasons (actually, watch all of them! :) ) of the "Supernatural" TV series. I just finished watching all 15 seasons...for the second time. Anyway, about half way through "the boys" find a "special bunker" that they they use. This is what I imagine an "Adventurers...

Hiya! "Did I leave the stove on?" Because it would remind me that real life exists and that all the people at the table are here to relax, laugh, eat junk food and have a good time. I get a bit "focused" on the game world a bit too much sometimes as I try and juggle a dozen different things...

Hiya! "Ehn-World". There are no periods after the E or the N. I also live in Canada and we see a lot of "le", "la", "les" and the occasional "d'...", so seeing ENWorld looks more natural to me as EN World, which seems as natural as "le monde" ("the world")...and "le" is pronounced as "leh"...

Hiya! Not asking me specifically, but here's my 2cp. If I don't know the DM and this is a "pick up game for funzzies at my FLGS"...sure. I'm cool with it. I mean, I'm still "hoping for the best but preparing for the worst", but yeah. I might be blown away by how amazingly cool and fun the...

Hiya! Just a little tid-bit that stood out to me....when this was said... (not singling you out here, Oofta, just found it an interesting statement I wanted to comment on :) ) Thing is, imnsho, every campaign is a "truly open sandbox" unless the DM has a habit of saying "No, John, your...

Hiya! Gonna go with... ".....nnnaaaahh....". Seems to be another attempt to "Sigil'ify" D&D; I never liked Sigil's "background" because it stepped directly on the toes of every DM who had a campaign running before it. Like TSR was trying to "claim some sort of 'ownership/connection'" to a DM's...

Hiya! Original Dungeons and Dragons 46 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 51 Basic Dungeons and Dragons 50 B/X Dungeons and Dragons 50 BECMI Dungeons and Dragons 52 +1 = 53 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, 2nd Edition 47 Dungeons & Dragons, Rules Cyclopedia Edition 50 Classic Dungeons & Dragons 51...

Since we are moving into the realm of "How do you handle Skill checks?"... there have already been some good threads on various modifications or interpretations for them. For me, if you "have" the skill, even if another PC rolls higher, your PC "does it better. In a nutshell, if you don't have...

Hiya! Just like to re-iterate what @Stalker0 said above: any "normal, every day task" doesn't even require a roll. Hell, even some "stressful" situations might not require a roll (e.g. a friendly game of darts at the tavern...whomever is better can be assumed to win most of the time; no need...

Hiya! Pretty much dead on what I was thinking. :) If Expertise always gave Advantage...even if you normally would be 'incapable of having it' (due to opposition, situation, whatever...), you get it. That would be one of those things where the Player could feel cool and say "Oh? What's that...

Hiya! I don't think this is going to work out the way the "unionizers" think it's going to work out. I predict if it happens, then Paizo release schedules will be re-jiggered to be a lot less per year, and probably of random quality; some will be great, some horrible, some in the middle. Then...

...and if the solution to that ends up "portraying the group YOU are in, in a hurtful or tone-deaf way"... who wins? There is such a thing as "I don't like this because it makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm not going to buy/play/endorse that thing and I'll go elsewhere". What happened to that...
