It's roleplay! If the opportunity is there, nobody's looking, and he knows there's just about no change he'll get caught, he'll do it. He's a ROGUE. EDIT: Skyscraper, in this campaign they were a band of thieves! They multiclassed for some stuff, but for the most part specialized. You have your...

Guns are fine...even the occasional (and oft-malfunctioning!) gatling gun for the technically-inclined gnome artificer. But it's important that if its "high tech", even like a renaissance firearm, it WILL malfunction. At my option. Possibly probably right when you need it.

I'm a DM, and it's been a LONG time since I've had someone who wanted to play a fun, True Neutral (or chaotic neutral) rogue who will, say, pay the innkeeper's fee for the room and then pocket a few silver goblets when he's not looking. Lately, the player's I've had have avoided anything...

Well, you have your bards, the most common way of spreading news. But since that's taken, and you're not really moving information from city to city (correct my if I'm wrong, but it seems you are mainly based in one city). In this instance you could call her an "investigator for the *newspaper...

There's tons of possibilities. Perhaps they are hired by the fierce leader of a small group of outlaws (members of a larger rebel organization)who are secretly fighting against the evil overlord psionics. After their first mission, they gain a number of contacts from the organization (make up...

This is purely hypothetical (as in, I don't have a player with this problem), but what would you do if you had a REALLY dumb player playing, say, an INT 27 character (like a lvl 20 wizard w/ 18 base Int, the 1 every 4 level attribute bonuses, and five Wishes). I mean, is the DM supposed to, say...

Think "The Children of the Light" aka "the Whitecloaks" from the Wheel of Time series. Lots of threats about hell and darkness and "I'll destroy all evil I encounter, and if you don't talk, you must be serving the Dark One and need to be eradicated" kind of thing.

The Shadowhand - A prestige-class based association of Worshippers of Bane. Run by the head of Bane's church. It's a secret organization that uses shadow magic and necromancy. Also, they convert some monsters by fear (such as goblinoids) and use them to their own nefarious ends.

Guys, c'mon, back on topic.

Your suggested tweaks are great; I'll implement them immediately! And Nifft, interesting rework. GREAT name, too :P .

Alright, I've heard lots of terms used to mean the same thing: the person who runs a roleplaying session. What I want to know is what tern YOU use, and why (For example, using GM because DM in a sci-fi campaign doesn't make much sense).

No, I'm aware of the different types. Before, I have always worked up from a small point (usually a village a few days away from a town...), expanding on what the players needed. But this is my first time doing a "top-down" world, and I wanted to know what other DMs did. The link you posted has...

Yah, 33 EACH, to do 8 attacks (4 Lightning-Quick Attacks) with a light weapon costs 144 and takes four turns. Here's the math: [30 + (2 attacks x 3 because a light weapon costs 3) ] x 4 =144 This is pretty good, but considering that probably uses up all/nearly all of the TWs telepoints, it is...

OK, I'm making a homebrew campaign and world, and I was wondering how in-depth other DMs out there tend to go in fleshing out each nation/plane/city etc. I've made a map of the world they start on (...btw, one thing I've always found amusing is how its easier to get to OTHER PLANES OF EXISTENCE...

Yup :)

Also, instead of torches, use bioluminescent (sp?) creatures. Also, remember, if you are very deep underwater, there's no light, so this is important, but remember that light attracts both predators and prey! I've been thinking on more neat ideas for having things work underwater...

I've always been interested in how I would do weapons under water...after all, with the water resistance and the fact that you move backwards with the same momentum as your strike forwards (not the same speed, because your arm and weapon is less mass than your body)... In light of this, I would...

Yah, I like your suggestions! And you have a good point about the name not needing to really represent the class...that it's more important to have some serious style points :P. Thanks! Also, to anyone who reads this thread, PLEASE critique this class. EDIT: I updated the class above to reflect...

How do you feel about allowing the players to play evil characters? I've done it before, but not often, and I've only done it when the entire party is evil/neutral. I want to hear other DMs' stories about evil parties, or about regular parties with 1+ evil characters in them. For example, have...

I'm not saying I didn't think of possible names, but the ones that I did weren't quite "right" for the flavor. Things with blink and portal (or gate, or whatever) were out, I was considering something with jump but wasn't sure, he's not melding with or going through other things (like shadows...
