You obviously didn't read what I wrote. I said that REGARDLESS of my definition, the game defines HP a certain way and then this one specific rule defines it a different and conflicting way. That makes for a bad rule. It would be equally bad for example to have all fire effects have they keyword...

None of the Above - Amazed there is no option for "Not getting the Starter Set" or "No intention of getting the Starter Set" I'm not saying the Starter Set is garbage or that 5e is garbage and that I'm not going to ever invest - I don't know yet if it is and if I'm not - Instead I am saying that...

I did say "Sigil and the Lady" not just the Lady of Pain by herself. In my experience there is a strong divide between those who are SUPER into Sigil, its factions, its lingo, tales of the Lady, talking about how strong and perfect she is; and those who don't really go there at all. The first...

Personally? Less emphasis on Sigil and the Lady - this might disqualify me immediately as far as Planescape goes. I like the planar stuff the setting provides and even like Sigil but I feel that something like Planar Handbook wasn't that good of a read because it focused on the factions with a...

I would like to quote the full mechanic to properly illustrate what I'm talking about but I don't remember if that is allowed. As far as minion rules - people are saying, even supporters of the mechanic, that it shouldn't apply to minions. No I don't think the title minions actually exists in...

I actually have no problem with fighters poking out people's eyes or damaging them in ways that cause certain status conditions. So long as they have to succeed on the attack roll and don't get the effect as a consolidation prize I am okay with things like what @Bluenose describes. There was...

The toxicity isn't the mechanic itself. It is the way the mechanic is viewed. Sorry if that is unclear that is the nature of having to refer to DoaM in such a way. I'm not saying that DoaM is bad because it is unbalanced. It is bad because of the many considerations that weren't put into the...

A 20th level barbarian is a form of specialization in 3.5. In my years of playing PF and 3.5, having run different campaigns with different groups at different levels. And having been in quite a few too. At one point I was in 8 games of 3.5 in a 6 day period every week. In all that time I've...

That's my hope too; but I also somehow doubt it given WotC's track record. If it does resemble something like UA then I'll be quite happy. We know based on what they've told us that it will have all kinds of optional modules; mass combat, etc. But the question will be how many of the modules...

Sorry Manbearcat, I didn't see this reply until after I wrote the one to Crothian or else I would have added this in there. You certainly aren't blocked. I reserve that for those who are flagrantly wrong and unabashedly antagonistic. It is probable that if I wasn't on DDNFan's side that he would...

Feel free to cut out whatever isn't important from your reply, we're getting very long again. If you don't know at this point then I don't see any reason to rehash it. You can easily go back and see when I first replied and what I first replied to. But yeah, I never saw him ask about DoaM in...

As someone who has had cancer I have no problem with the term tumor to describe something that systematically expands and grows unchecked without intervention. Weed is a similar term but not one quite as fitting. Without treatment for either they with both spread. But the limits of one is...

A barbarian doesn't "use" mighty rage so much as have the effect. Same goes for the amulet. An amulet of might constitution doesn't exist (according to SRD). I'll swap this for an amulet of Mighty Health +6 But okay, assuming average rolls all around. BEST case scenario. Half-Orc with let's...

We heard several months back from someone official at WotC. I want to say Mike Mearls in one of his articles. Either way, at last notice in the official rules this mechanic has been cut from the fighter in favour of something else. That is good. I'm not going to find you a link to the source...

I read the same post as you and gave my replies as you did. In the post where you say he "asked to be informed of DoaM from 4e" he said 4e once and said he "didn't like 4e so we never had to deal with it." He then proceeded to ask about DoaM in general and specifically relating it to save for...

Well, no he isn't but that is beside the point. As far as I knew people were supposed to be against attacks of character is my point regardless of what DDNFan's comment was. And if it is sarcasm (big IF) then that is fine. Possibly the spirit that was intended. However sarcasm is a matter of...

As I've seen repeatedly said by the Mods on this forum, "That is what the Ignore button is for" It isn't an excuse to completely ignore the arguments leveled against something in favour of attacking the man who said them. A person may be toxic, I've had to ban MANY people lately since I find...

There is a lot to this two simple paragraphs. I'll try and keep stuff organized as best I can. There are many ways to negate spells. The ones that allow "save for half" are usually (a) reflex saves, (b) easily defeated by things like evasion, or walls/cover, (c) limited use. So, for (a) the...

Didn't see these replies before I started my last response. This thread went and grew legs all of a sudden. And during 4e's reign it was often criticized that 4e had turned everyone into spellcasters, I wonder why. Also, since Crothian seemed to say his group gave up on 4e I don't know why you...

I realize your response was predicated upon second wind and not damage on a miss. But as I said last time, it is tangentially related. You view HP as being a "tiring" scale when it is outlined as a damage scale. That informs you views on the subject. As I said last time, I don't see that those...
