Gah. I really want to beat the crap out of Mykal Wells and the author of the article, and take their lunch money. And I know I could.

"open the box twice" That, in my gaming group, has come to mean a PC killing another PC, either willingly or by accident. It came after a PC opened a trapped chest -twice-, in the equivalent of 2 rounds, leading to the death of another PC.

You probably want to change the thread's title.

Pun-Pun is the worst possible basis for what this thread has become. His build depends heavily on somewhat obscure material never used by anybody, ambiguous rulings, and what not.

Interestingly, me and one of my players are sorta having this argument, in an extremely passive-aggressive fashion. I'm running the WLD right now. Through no prompting of my own at all, the players are staying in areas that were "set" for characters of 7-9th level. They are at 9th level. By...

Uh oh. Now Nightfall will try to offend you, with cryptic, unrelated digs to WotC. It won't make any sense, and it really will make you less likely to want to buy Rappan Athuk. But you might want to read Orcus' latest post, that was actually enlightening.

I game once a week, with an extra time every month and a half or so, on average. Would I like to game more? Theoratically, yes. Really, no. First off, I'm the DM-by-default. I'd much rather be playing, but all my players are worse DMs or like it even less. And I don't want to be DMing...

While it doesn't work for the purpose of building Pun-Pun, can it be added, if simply as a mean to explain why the pantheon of Gods don't just destroy Pun-Pun outright? :)

Excpet the build involves Divine Minion, no? Now, if a God can't keep a mere mortal hidden from the eye of the other Gods for less than a month..

Well.. Yeah. But then again, those guys have a good chance of failing a fort save too, anyway.

For my money, the right way to handle "insta-kill" spells is the Power Word: Kill model. There are no saves, but it won't work as the very first action of an encounter.

Ahhh! Now -that-, my friend, is a response. You explain the reasoning behind your claim, you qualify it, you clarify it. That is (in my opinion) the way to discourse on the internet. A claim is made that I disagree with, I call foul, and you explain why what you said is (in your opinion)...

When I build a spellcaster, I alwasy make sure he has a nice spread of spells that cover all 3 saving throws. In a way, it's the equivalent of the fighter carrying a blunt weapon in case he meets skeletons. And fortitude spells are a must, if only to use against other spellcasters.

I submit as evidence, culled from the top of this thread.. So not only is he the world's dictator, he even wrote a PDF about how to build a world. Proof, gentlemen, proof.

10,000 rounds is only 7 days. Taking away 8 hours a day to sleep/rest, that makes it 21 days. It can easily take just as long, if not longer, for a blacksmith to make a suit of Full Plate armor. That said, I agree with everything else said in this thread, of course. That the rules -can- be...

That guy was me, right? Right! Wee. Let's try this one more time. From the time of my very first post, I've made it very clear that I did not in any way, shape, or form argue the point that RA is awesome. I've heard enough good about it, and little enough bad (if any, can't really recall)...

Wonderful. Still has nothing to do with being the most famous or feared. Sorry, I just hate overwrought propaganda.

I'm running the WLD, so definitively nowhere. I'm curious about how that will go in the game I'm about to start playing in. My player who decided he'd try running a game started us off at 20th level, so that should be weird.

True dat! But adventuriong groups.. Are likely to be less than uniform. Would the elven wizard know, or care, the proper way to adress a human baron? What about the half-orc barbarian that was raised in the no-man-land between human and orc civilizations? Or the dwarven fighter, son of a...

That's super. And true. And yet.. It has absolutely no bearing in making Rappan Attuk (however the thing is spelled) more famous or feared. Actually, it helps prove my point, that there is no way in Hades it is the most Famous or Feared module. So thanks, dude!
