For my money, it's "Forum-users are a bunch of thin-skinned rage-oholics". It's just that a lot of gamers are also forum users. But, it's the internet. People look upon it as a license to freak out, say whatever inane crap they want to, and to ditch most responsibility (and personal...

Mutants & Masterminds (2E). It can do everything from dumb kids in a van investigating wierdness, to high fantasy, to Olympian pantheons, to whatever. It's not perfect for Deadlands: Hell on Earth -style apocalypse, but it can run it. That's as close as I've come to a all-in-one game.

No they don't. Find me anything in 3.x rules that supports your claim and I'll be open for discussion. Until then, your position is hollow, untenable, and wrong. Good gaming. :)

If he's smart, he's cool. If he forgets to put various alarms and wards around his sleeping space, then the first he'll learn in when he has to make a fort save or die to coup de grace. Of course, any DM that CdG characters without a fair warning is a rat bastard. To the OP: Good luck and...

Just what do you mean by "Free Form" magic? There are Spell Points. ENWorld's Elements of Magic is pretty good. Just stay away from the (unplaytested and unbalanced) Mythic Earth version. Green Ronin's True Sorcery has a lot of love, though I'm not a big fan. There are others but I'm tired...

Interesting. Powerful and flavorful, but not very powerful (the probabilities shift massively when you give up the Wild Die). A lot weaker. +1 changes your odds from {1-(3/6 * 3/X)} (62.5% to 87.5% success) to {1-(2/6 * 2/X)} (83.3% to 94.4% success). +2 is even more powerful (95.8% to...

It isn't a shield and has no penalties. That said, I'd allow the feat to work. It's a weak item, one I've never seen used in play, and it's not going to break anything to allow it. However, I would note that this is a table ruling (and probably a house rule), not RAW. Good luck.

This game is awesome. It comes in three mechanical flavors (Classic, D20, Savage Worlds). All use the same (amazing) setting, flavor, and world but have their own quirks due to the game mechanics involved. Classic: The mechanics can be ... involved, though they are fast to resolve (figuring...

Really? Then I wish you'd have some experiences like I've had. I've had players create, on their own initiative and out of their own resources: academy to teach villagers how to resist rape attempts (known as the "Anti-Rape Army"). purchase lots of slum areas to create cheep, quality housing...

Which system I prefer depends upon what I want out of it. For high-heroics I generally prefer Variable Die systems (d20 is the most common, especially Mutants & Masterminds 2, but others are used as well). The potentially infinite scaling and hard minimums (and maximums) better suit my idea of...

Truer words have rarely been spoken of Kobolds.

I'll probably stop participating in this forum. Too much noise makes me wander off.

There are a lot of people who do. Take a look in the Looking For Games forum. Good luck.

2 domains from any Evil deity? So, any 2 domains, except Good. ... What the heck is this for? Because it's too strong to be a PC class, and too jumbled to be a good NPC class. Unless you just want all your villains to be a single class, saving you a lot of build time.

Burn Notice: "Burn Notice" (2007) , Burn Notice - Episode Guide : Pilot Models Inc.: "Models Inc." (1994)

Then Savage Worlds will probably help. It's a pretty slick-playing system, where resolving anything involving a dice roll doesn't usually take more than a few seconds (roll, possibly reroll, add as needed). In an hour, you can run one, maybe two, combats with a bit of RP between. In my...

It is a huge difference, and something that's not immediately obvious. a) It goes on until either people get tired of punching each other to no real effect (ala Greggory Peck and Charlton Heston in The Big Country, which is a great scene), someone picks up a chair or breaks a bottle to start...

All of which makes Turning useful when the party first encounters that group of undead. So round 1, and every time a new wave shows up. The only reason to use multiple rounds of turning on the same undead is because you rolled total crap on the Turning Check or the Turning Damage and can't...

Yes. 1) There is no Sub-dual damage. If non-lethal doesn't equal or exceed MDT then it's utterly meaningless; nothing happens. CMA lets you were through an enemy's hp with unarmed attacks. 2) The game designers wanted you to use a gun most of the time. That's why almost every firearm hits as...

Honestly, I'm not sure. I never really got into BR, so I don't know all the nuances (which is the vast majority of the differences). Still, I know some and will list the BR version first. Armor as Defense bonus (AC) vs Armor as Toughness Save bonus. Class Toughness Bonus vs no automatic...
