Re: wife-beating :mad: This has got to be a troll - it flies in the face of the commonly held medical, psychological and social statistics, annecdotes, studies and theories. There is no extant, credible evidence to support your claim and as someone with a first hand knowledge of domestic...

Thanks! I've been scouring my PHB for the reference!

Re: Rape & slavery Phew! Now we're on the same page. Refer to my post above for my apology to this quote. [B] There's a gap in reasoning between your annecdotal LA Times reference (which I agree with you about) and the assumption that the "widespread attitude" is "completely fantasy (which...

Re: Re: Re: Nuaghty

Bump (hoping this things still got some life in it).

Re: Nuaghty Man, if this quote is indicative of your attitude(s) to rape, you should leave it out of your campaign. It appears that you have little to no comprehension of the crime and its impact.:( [B] I agree that fear of slavery (and not just death) adds to a campaign, giving it breadth...

Sidran: You've used it already? :) very cool! It is really pleasing that you got value.

Re: I like! Actually no. IMC the sisterhood was very insular and disdainful of men - rapists or no. In a more compassionate campaign this would add some interesting character development. Laltrossba - the Thorn in my campaign - was a damaged person with a ruthless attitude, but a kinder...

Doh Hit dice and skill points :eek: I should have thought of that. I gave 4 skill points and a d8 in campaign, but 1d10 & 2sp would work just as well. In terms of the Know: Religion skill requisite - it's a class skill for a lot more classes in my campaign. It could easily be dropped back to...

OK, I've been sitting out of this part of the thread, but now I've got to jump in. Firstly, I have a totally different reading of the killing of Sasha in "The Enemy at the Gate". Sasha is killed because he is a spy, passing information on the German sniper back to the Russian side. This is a...

The Story of the White Rose Order I found the backstory - here it is. The Tale of Bradamante of the White Rose Bradamante was a beautiful young girl who grew up in a Pentapoline village, the daughter of a local healer. She was gentle natured and kind. One day the soldiers of the local...

The Thorn of the White Rose prestige class is now up on the House Rules forum. Comments are welcome!

The Thorn of the White Rose is a prestige class attached to an order of monks and clerics called the White Rose Sisterhood. The sisterhood was founded by a rape victim turned vigilante. If I can find the backstory I wrote (it was for a campaign four years ago) I'll post it here as well. Thorn...

This may help I'm toying with a homebrew feat that might be adaptable for you. Gunfighter (X-bow fighter, whatever) Prereq: Dex 13+; Two Weapon Fighting; Point Blank Shot The character may wield a single, light missile weapon in their off hand as though it were a light melee weapon. This...

I'm at work right now but when I get home I'll put the PrC up on the House Rules forum. As far as my wife knowing the darker side of humanity, whooo boy. When she needs to deprogram from a day of counselling guess who's up for that duty. I got her into playing D&D after we married and it's...

I hope this helps First of go for it - my dad quit when I was born, never looked back. I don't know if this helps, but if you need some inspiration through tough patches, think about this: the people who market cigarettes know that they are addictive and poisonous and they still sell them...

In my last campaign we had a (homebrew) order of monks & clerics called the "Sisterhood of the White Rose". Their patron saint was a young woman who had been raped and left for dead and had turned avenger. The order offered shelter and succor for all women and avenged women against rapists and...

My campaign features a series of city states which supplement their income (and influence and military might) by selling letters of marque, in effect licencing mercenary (and adventuring) companies. If you want to go about armed you'd better be a marqued company or the authorities come down hard.

The Thieve's World boxed set was one of the best RPG supplements I ever bought. Please share your stuff - I know I'll be poring over every word.

Thanks As with all creative people, praise is appreciated. Thanks for the positive comment.
