I am telling you -- playing cards are the way to go for stat generation. At least in my humble opinion. Your milage may vary. In a manner of speaking. So to speak. Per se. Yadda yadda yadda...

Agreed. However... You did not get any variety... what you got were a bunch of uniform stats... a fighter with 16 in all three physical stats? A cleric with 14 in all physical stats? Lowest stat showing is a 12? When a character that has the lowest stat as a 12 is considered as having "lower...

As am I.

Welcome to the club. Your information packet should be in the mail very soon. ;) Correct. Correct again. Sort of. They are suggesting that they recognize that a Clr10/Wiz10 cannot be as useful to a party as either a Clr20 or a Wiz20. The debate on if this is even a real problem is still going...

Yes... and no. The flat probability of a single even with a single die makes average a relatively useless concept -- for that single roll. However... When you are rolling 3d6 or any other combination of dice, the concept of average makes a lot of sense. For example: Suppose we were to flip a...

...this conversation comes up a lot... ...and I enjoy it more each time... :) My prefered method of stat generation is playing cards. It is a rather elegant thing, really. It generates ballanced characters, creates non-cookie cutter stats and allows for some real personalization. Currently my...

Well... the reason a Bar10/Ftr10 works is because, in effect, they are both Fighters -- one is just a forced specialist fighter, while the other has some options on being a specialist. In fact, for all intents and purposes, the Fighter, Ranger, Paladin and Barbaraian are all the same class... It...

I guess I just don't get it. Why does a Wiz10/Clr10 have to be on par in spell casting ability to a Wiz20 or a Clr20? I mean, as this multi-class combo works now, it is pretty frightening. I mean it is an arcane/divine spellcaster with a lot of martial capability. Sure, he looses out on the...

Good news. And good luck... if the preview is any indication, this is going to be one sweet book.

According to the Mongoose Web Page, we are looking at next month for the core book. Making a "not quite but close to worst case scenario" guestimate, let us say the last day of next month is the release date... T-38 days and counting...

Yes I was... oh, you mean you... Have to stop someplace. Hey, yea... then we could... nah! I like most core classes. I just think that people do not often enough taylor to game to meet the world... instead, they taylor the world to meet the game. Both are valid options, but I think it is obvious...

{pulls out the folding chair, nachos and salsa to watch the ebate on core-class-versus-prestige-class again} I would say: yes. The Monk, the Bard, the Ranger, the Barbarian, and the Paladin should all be prestige classes, in my opinion. And, in the default D&D setting, I would say that most...

My job involves a lot of scripting / testing / analysis / rescripting and so on. While the scripts are running (sometimes as long as 15 minutes), I will take a few moments and go over to EN World and do some posting. My boss is aware, and as long as I do not collect any backlog in my work, if...

Sorry... I did not mean to get you upset. MODS: Please close this thread. Thanks.

Please do... that would be the point. I consider your opinion as a valuable one, and so discussing your thoughts is doubly valuable to me. I don't agree. I think it is remembering that just fine. But it must also take into account the idea that the creature is not a static, "standing still"...

If you have not seen it, Psion's signature includes a listing of the 3.5 rules he will NOT be using. I have some thoughts on those rules and wondered if you did too. Also, what other rules will you avoid? So... Psion's listing: Square facings -- this rule actually makes sense to me. It took...

I love monster books... but I have to say that I love the way they are handled now, more than I did when D&D 1e and 2e were around. let me explain: The relatively clear rules for applying classes and/or templates to creatures makes for a much more robust monter environment, as well as...

I have no local game store here any longer. The owner was an idiot (business wise) and so he drove himself out of business. I do not care for places like Walmart, Amazon and the like. My reasons are many and varied but tend to stem from the fact that I believe more in small businesses where you...

I think a variation of the MAN'S PRAYER* is in order here: * The Man's Prayer is from the PBS show "The Red Green Show" -- it goes: I am a man. I can change. If I have to. I guess.
