Non-weapon proficiencies are from 2nd edition, and they were mostly replaced with the skill system in 3rd edition. 3rd edition feats are a whole other beast. I think NWPs are okay, but in retrospect they seem like one step along the way toward having a sheet that says everything a character can...

Whoa!

I find magic item wishlists boring and completely mechanical. My D&D characters look for magic items in ancient crypts and bustling bazaars, not Sears catalogs. When a buddy of mine asked me to do up a magic item wishlist for a character I was playing in his campaign, I made a random table...

Renard traces his middle finger around a symbol of Oghma, Lord of Inspiration. "Viešpats žvalgybos, įkvėpti reikalingas," he chants. "I shall take the rear position, as usual." Renard has cast divine insight, which grants him a +5 bonus to a single skill check of his choice in the next 10...

Do you know which chinese characters it uses? 丹田/tanden does mean the point just below the navel, but kikai could be written a few ways. Yours is probably 気界, which means "spirit world." To be honest, though, when I hear "kikai", I think of 機会 (chance, opportunity) or 機械 (machine, apparatus)...

Renard puts on his wide-brimmed traveling hat and, clutching a symbol of the wayfaring god Shaundakul, quietly takes his place among his companions. Just out of Lord Morn's earshot, he remarks... Throughout this scene, Renard was reading about the drow who live nearby in his Tome of Worldly...

That sounds really cool! You can take Totemist levels any time you like, mixing it in with your Lycanthrope and Wolf levels as you see fit. Just remember that hitting second level means you replace your level in Warrior with something else, due to the Level Adjustment. Have you guys taken a...

Tellah is a character from the Super Nintendo game Final Fantasy II/IV. He's a white mage/black mage, pictured to the left there, and he is most famous for uttering the phrase, "You spoony bard!" Hella is late-90s West Coast American slang for "very", as in "Hella nice rug you've got there...

Renard places a bookmark in his book and stows it away. "I believe we have enough information to begin a preliminary investigation. Lord Morn, are you certain there's no one in the area you might recommend as a contact to begin our research into the attacks?"

It begins! Okay! As of now, we have three great, complete characters: Khalil ibn Haqal, played by Antithetist The Effervescent Etrigan, played by Shayuri Vorrin Dartigan, played by Baronsque Feleghost, and Pinder, played by Voda Vosa and ethandrew respectively, just needs Keys, and then...

Planescape - Divided We Stand • Chapter 1: The Drawing of the Five Reality is not always probable, or likely. Jorge Luis Borges "Weird tales, eh?" rasped the aging bard. "Yeah, I've got a few. Mind you, yer askin' a berk that lives on a giant, floating ring at the top of an infinite spire...

OOC • IC Please post/link/scan/chisel your character sheet in this thread for Hella_Tellah's Planescape: Divided We Stand. Please include your Keys!

The characters are shaping up nicely, everyone! I'm really excited to see this group in action. It's not a hard and fast deadline, but I would like to start on Thursday, September 2nd, if possible. If I don't have 5 good, complete characters by that point, I'll push back the start date, so...

Yup, that's the whole point of the system. Wushu is a game about over-the-top kung fu action, so the more overwrought and outlandish your description, the better you do. The game encourages you to describe your actions in as florid and entertaining a language as possible, and that fits with the...

"You mentioned a local militia stationed in the area," says Renard. "Would their leadership be available to answer a few questions for us? Whom may we contact?" Under his breath, he whispers a reply to Talhia's message. "My curiosity is piqued."

Not ignored, I just don't want to speak out of turn. You asked Lord Morn a question, so I don't want to be rude and interrupt before he can answer. :)

I didn't say whether it was "narration", "role-playing", or "Franklin Roosevelt, Necromantic Plumber for Hire." I just said I prefer it. That sucks. I'd rather have my players do what you do. Haters gonna hate, players gonna play. Yeah, I don't like that very much either. I think that kind...

Cool! Carry on, then. :)

In a game called Wushu, yes. ;) It'd be dog-doo awful in a game about Spartan warriors or Angry Space Marines. But even given your example, I'd prefer to hear a player say, "I parry his attack and jab him in the chin with my sword-pommel," rather than "I attack. I got a 23." On the topic of...

ALL WORLDS SHALL BEND TO THE MIGHT OF THE GREAT WHEEL. ALL WORLDS SHALL BE BROUGHT TO HEEL! :o Oh, and sappire, the character sheets at Myth-Weavers don't generate characters for you, but they do take care of a lot of the boring math for you. They fill in size modifiers, armor check penalties...
