    Stupid Surveys...

    Amen to that!!! People who only Play do so becuase they don't have enough immagination to know what they want. Sometimes the Best PCs are made up by people who also GM. Create a Campaign world that you want to run and run it. They will fall into place. PS. The idea about the modern world...

    Touchy situation with my group

    Stole the words from my fingers. This is exactly what I would do. Just make sure you pre-plan it with the other players. You wouldn't want to be the only player going on strike.

    I'm such a wimpy DM.

    This is OK, Just remember, that one day, this magic-ruler-guy is going to want something in return for his actions. And it's gonna be big. And as long as he gets what he wants, he's not gonna care what shape the PCs are in at the end of it. It's OK to appear weak, as long as you make it fit...

    Ideal Number of Players?

    I know that this thread has been posted before, so if anyone can post a link to it, that would be great, otherwise, post here. I'm just wondering what other GMs find to be the ideal number of players, for their gamming style. Mine, I like to intertwine multiple different plots, each centered...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    Thanks all for your input and well thought out comments. Rel - Your probably right on your comments about the player, In real life, hre runs an businness and is at least periferialy involved in local politics (even has a degree in Political Science). Ever sinse opening the store, he has had no...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    This is the general basis for how I view the actions of Gods, this is after all, our main basis for gods in RPGs. In one way or another, gods are always involved in the afairs of mortals. This may too minor an issue for the gods to get involved in, but it could serve as a good example to show...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    Oh, Oh, Oh...... I think thats the best Idea yet. Someone with no direct tie to the church takes personal vendeta against the Character. Make the PC fear for his life for a bit as this guy stalks him and beats him down before the PC finaly outsmarts him (THis player is good at that) and takes...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    There's some ideas here that I hadn't thought of...... The main problem is this. It isn't the PC, its the player. This particular player, no matter the campaign or the GM, takes a dim view of any organization or body of law trying to enforce things. In reality, if it was another player doing...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    Re: Re: One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player It is the Church of the god of magic were the transgression occured. I never thought this question would generate such a tidal wave of opposition. I really should think more before posting 'controversional' questions. That said, there will be no...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    The church was full of people looking for help as the result of a major hail storm that happen to hit the city at the same time as this was happening. The only reason that Nobody was attending the BBEG at the moment that he walked in is becase they were helping other people. This particular...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    Exactly my point, well said. Thanks to everyone for your comments. Maybe having the god interveen is a little much. I think I'll start with the church talking to some allied churches in the same city about the PCs actions. The Church is already witholding services to this PC, but not the...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    Exactly my point, this is a question of authority and right of domain, nothing to do with right and wrong. The sanctity of the chruch was violated and actions were taken. Players in this group have a habit of ignoring the rights or authority of religious organizations and Noble houses over the...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    The church was unaware as to the reasons that the BBEG was injured. In addition, they weren't even aware that there was a problem in the city. All they knew was that a person came into the church willing to pay for some healing magics. While waiting for said healing to be performed, the two...

    Chris, is that you, For a second there, I thought my Stuborn player was writing that response. Because that is exactly his sort of method, given time and resources.

    Too many books!

    Ahhhhhhhh! I feel your pain fully, I Just got married this past december (Winter Solstice) and am still trying to get my feet on solid financial ground as a result. I hav't been able to by any RPG products of any kind in over a year. Trust me, the shakes and hot/cold flashes are starting to...

    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    And you have a situation that has gone on longer than it should have. A situation occured in my game several sessions ago in which two of the PCs IMC attacked a BBEG inside a church while the BBEG was "Under the Care of the Clergy". The BBEG feld the church to get away from the PCs but was...

    A magical... wheelchair?

    I'd be interested to here the RP reasons for needing such a device rather than paying for a Heal Spell (much cheaper). With the D&D magic system being what it is, there is no valid reason that anyone would ever need a wheelchair, except for pure RP reasons. Unless your in a low magic world and...

    Making the Ice Storm spell suck less

    I'm not so sure that the spell is totaly useless. The simple fact that there is no save is quite nice. However, I'm not sure why there is no save. Fireball fills a 20' Radius Spread with flame that ignites everything combustible and bolis the flesh off of your enemies. Ice Storm causes a...

    D&D 3.x Help a curmudgeon replace a 3.5 feat!

    What about making it a beter version of Rapid Shot. Normaly Rapid Shot allows a bonus of one arrow at a -2 to hit. In this way, two additon arrows would be -4, three would be -6 and four would be -8. Of course, there is still the problem of multiple chances for a critical hit now, But I think...
