This is a good question. If the NPC, which most of them are foes, or why would you really need to make stats for them anyways, is going to be sticking around for a long time, then I make a sheet for him. And then add levels as needed. If on the other hand, the players are fighting something...

Well, dont think I missed your point. Dead levels, to me sounds like you think without special gifts or abilities at these levels, the class is without meaning? Hence:Dead Level? Also, the fact that it gets so many feats are the fighters options...a fighter is a fighter, his options are based...

Well, all players have to know enough of the game to play. I would make sure that the husband, or wife of the couple would explain to the other outside of game, what does what. HOwever, I play games where you need to know whats going on, so as long as thats kept up. iTs all good.

THe first time the player who said it was retarded to bring the shotgun into the church, needs the quick action of the sawedoff steel...the archeologist should be "well, maybe it doesn't make sense that I have it now"

Well, Cthulu, now there's a game where a shotgun is needed. Sorry, thats just funny. To explain it...was the player nuts, did he have an opinion about what Cthulu was? was the creature already effecting him? was the Archeologist nuts...or atleast getting there to always be carryig around a...

Magic MART...thats awesome; but its true. SO many games are overun with magic items to the point that they are nolonger magical....this is just one more step. Well, at first, from the opening question, I thought this was somethig just for wizards or other magic users. Now I see thats not so...

Why would you allow it? Unless the game is bent on the players killing one another, as in an all evil party where everyone is trying to become the most powerful and take over the area: like a mob kind of game. I did that, I ran an evil game where all the players had to work together, and, at...

Well, for pop number, that's up to you, however I used the numbers based on heros or those of high level as adding zero to the end of it ex: a first level person is 1 in 10 a second level person is 1 in 100 then 1000, 10000, 100000, 10000000 and so on. (this is for active heros...if you have...

I agree. To much power: attacks, saves, stats..way to fast. You get to the point that not much hurts...and then after a while, you wonder what you can't take.

Sorry. Don't agree. It should be a Feat, I don't think that all fighters, and that's what will happen if it becomes apart of the standard class; that they can fight invisible foes...and not all fighters are ninjas...or any other martialarts trained fighter to have BlindSense... Your a...

True, fighters should get or, beable to get sense motive, but Rogues should have it, and perhaps sooner. Their skill with it is used to out think, or cheat first, their enemy. Also, if you take it away from Rogues, then their Sneak Attacks lose their logic.

I disagree. What, when you get nothing its a DEAD LEVEL?? You're character is boreing and lame without new toys or abilities every other level? Yes, they are situational..and they fact that they have them even when outside their present situation makes them unique and widely trained. Ex: I...

The fighter is just a Class, if the player can't find anything to do when not killing things, then the player is boreing. You're making a fighter out to sound like a mindless thug instead of a skilled warrior. The class is for those who want to fight, and be good at it. I think that getting...

First...are they a Good party, if so, torture is out. And, if they force it, then some C.G, L.G should be changing.

Ok, maybe I’m not saying it right. Lets do this: Elephant has 100 hp and a horse has 30 *ok, just saying for both* and I attack with my sword, a great sword...and hit the Elephant and do 10 damage, then I also attack and do 10 damage to the horse. Who was hurt more...the Elephant or the...

Are you serious????? If you think that’s what everyone who’s saying “power gaming is bad” then your miss reading it. And, to pull out the most extreme inept creature as an example of what DM’s want their players to be, is totally unnecessary and wrong.

Sounds good. Alot of players are older gamers, played alot of games..and most find it no longer fun to play the little guy, so, start them out at higher levles..and just make the growth slower sothe game doesnt rush into levels that get to high.

To be truthful, it is You Vs Them...but; it shouldn't be "The DM is out to get us, and how can we fix it" I think you might need less combat, more RP....and let them face foes where there is one bad guy that is tough, and around him, are those that they can show off their skills through kicking...

My experience...isn't good. NOt that I don't mind the idea, infact..I like it alot; its just that players in past who've used it only do it for the bonus and never play up anything else. I don't think the berserker ability to should be seen as a totally good thing. In nors myths, its been a bad...

No...and think Id be a little put off if I came into a game where people carried staffs, or swords *wooden or real* or anything else that is just IN GAME things. TO close to L.A.R.P'ing for me...
