    More Than Just a Shaggy Ogre

    Wow, I don't think I've objected so much so a single article so far. And even though I object I really don't care about the minotaurs I just care about the assumptions. So that is kind of weird. Just to nitpick a bit, the article starts with him saying that the previous article talked about...

    Something That Never Made Sense: Light Radius

    I just have one thing to add. Sight, as in seeing things regardless of its light source is pretty much infinite unless something obstructs it so that is entirely not the point here. I mean we can see stars and other planets with the naked eye. So the point here was that the 10x rule helps you...

    Something That Never Made Sense: Light Radius

    As I understand it there was something like a 10x rule kicking around in 3e. I can't remember if it was in the PHB, DMG, a random splatbook or if it was just houseruled in but.. The rule as I remember it was that a light source is clearly visible from 10 times the distance that the light...

    Pathfinder 1E New Class: Dragon Warrior

    First, I would just want to say that 2 days isn't a lot of time? That is just my opinion though. Second, I want to say that you didn't ask us about anything? Think it is too strong, not strong enough, want help with the powers, the HD? Is there a specific area we can help you with? Otherwise it...

    Social Media Connection Box

    Personally the only real problem it raises for me is that it takes up 1/3 of the screen, which in turn makes threads and even individual posts very very long. I'm glad to hear you are going to be fiddling with it over the next few days.

    The More Things Change

    Just my two cents. I think the forgotten realms are probably a great campaign setting, very rich and detailed. However, by the virtue of being so rich and detailed it is a hard barrier to break into. I started playing DnD with 3e and I occasionally happened to pick up or read FR books. With...

    D&D 5E (2014) I hope 5th edition makes room for "Adventurers" and "Heroes".

    You are all confusing high fantasy with high magic. High fantasy has the characters deeply rooted to be HEROES. Some of them might die but they do it epically and gloriously. They aren't nameless smucks traveling around doing random quests. Low fantasy is the opposite. If LotR were low fantasy...

    Stuff you don't have a problem with, but will never use

    Well there are two ways to look at a class, either with the flavour of the class or with the mechanics. Either the flavour of paladins, warlocks, etc. don't fit - as knights aren't paladins and not divinely powered evil slaying what's its. For this, Merlin being a wizard is good enough...

    Stuff you don't have a problem with, but will never use

    It's all cool :P Gotta congratulate you though, three straight pages where you are the first poster - impressive. What I tried to say is that monk Should carve out his own niche within classes. If we are going to subscribe to the four main classes/roles idea then the monk is 5. He should be...

    Stuff you don't have a problem with, but will never use

    You seem to be violating the terms of your own threads idea but whatever. All I wanted to say is that I really really dislike the implication that monk is purely wuxia, or is just a fighter but with different skin, or so on. I love the monk, it is my number 1 class. And while I like it...

    Pathfinder 1E Armor as Damage Reduction

    I have done it, granted not with PF specifically but with a 3.x/d20 as a base. Some issues I hit were... DR is very good defense. Especially natural armor. Consider how much or how often people are going to hit now that you remove armor (and NA) from AC. Even if that is much more often, DR cuts...

    Stuff you don't have a problem with, but will never use

    These two lines seem at odds with each other. I get the point you were trying to make but they seem rather contradictory. Also, rooting for the bad guys in captain planet? I mean you could but why would you. Cobra commander, megatron, megabyte and a number of other evil guys are much better and...

    interesting question

    I'm confused by the original question. Are you asking if being attacked by the soulknife's blade leaves behind cuts? If so I'd say yes. Unless I'm wildly missing the point a soulknife is basically Psylocke (from xmen). I assume her blades cut too. But perhaps I'm missing something.

    Blue Dragons: Sand or Sea

    I never said whites don't belong in the cold, or that they should be in the forest. I don't disagree with this assertion either. I can understand all whites being 'cold' dragons but I don't see how them being 'cold dragons' has anything to do with making them automatically arctic. I don't think...

    Novas and Workdays, Big Fights and Little Fights

    I happen to agree in general here, but in practice pemerton's references all seemed to be keyed to player choice over DM fiat. Your solution was opposite. I definitely agree with the lack of issues with 'resource management' games, but then again I know a lot of people who have had issue so I'm...

    Blue Dragons: Sand or Sea

    What I've been saying. Can't +1 you though. I like the bulky look and feel of the sand-blues. I like the sleek airy look of blues too (that might be PF not 4e I forget). I'm voting the third option because I want none of the above. I don't mind categorizing the dragons by color for their breath...

    Novas and Workdays, Big Fights and Little Fights

    This is going to be a long post... sorry but not TL;DR, if its too long just skip it I guess :P Trust me, I cut what I could. But that is my point. With all your examples the same general premise is there as with what you say right here. A big fight is where the combat uses resources beyond the...

    Novas and Workdays, Big Fights and Little Fights

    ComradeGnull For me, there are a number of problems this automatically raises. The first is the general assumption that Little Fights mean non-important resources and Big Fights being 4e's AEDU. If anything my preferred style is that all fights (I mean actual, not potential) are important and...

    Combat Superiority and Damage/HP bloat

    Part of me doesn't necessarily want ogres to be cut through like butter, even at 20th. Part of me doesn't want dragons to be equivalent to kobolds at 20th. But mostly this becomes a problem with ogres or kobolds are also scaled to be challenges at 20th so that they ARE still problems. If 20th...
