Janice (Juana) Reyes - Tough 1 Growing up in the Reyes family was difficult for everyone except Janice, it seemed. From a young age, she showed a bevy of talent that her mother worked several jobs to support while her husband was away serving his country in the Afghanistan war. With an...

Adjunct: * Deities didn't exist in the DS universe, hence Clerics (and maybe Paladins?) also did not exist. * (I think) everyone started with a free Psionic Wild Talent power. * Wizards had two flavors, Preserver (advanced at a slower rate) and Defiler (advanced quicker but spells killed...

@Shayuri Naw dawg, if you're copying me, feel free. lol I'm actually flattered, kinda. To be honest, I went Tough because I thought the whole team was going to be Int, Wis and/or Cha. I like the idea of being a pair of strong, tough latina Sisters. Of course, we might just end up like this...

I guess we're all making "butch" characters! *lol* I had envisioned Janice as the person to take over the "man" jobs at home once her Dad slipped into his alcoholism - hence her Craft Structural and Mechanical. That doesn't mean she can't still be the 'smart, pretty' one, I suppose. I now see...

There was a weapon reward in the first 3.0 adventure that gave a +4 bonus to a Sunder check. Shatterspike Wielders without the Improved Sunder feat use Shatterspike as a +1 longsword only; wielders with the Improved Sunder feat add a +4 bonus (including the sword’s +1 enhancement bonus) to the...

Whatever, man. One of my friends (at my suggestion) rolled a beefy Dwarven Wizard to take on The Rise of Tiamat to partner with his gf's (brand new D&D player) Druid. He had a high Con score and medium armor and he was in melee at least half the time, hackin' and whackin' and smackin' with his...

RaI, it seems that Counterspell is intended to cancel instant/direct damage spells and Dispel Magic is intended to dismantle ongoing/persistent effects (buffs, wards, gaping maws into darkness, etc.) I think (?) Dispel Magic can be cast as a ritual... (checks... no? REALLY?) Well, it should...

Right, forgot that - in which case it'd be a "longsword" (d8 versatile, upped to d10 for two-handed). I miss 3e Falchions though.

Is Dwarven Wizard with that juicy Med Armor prof still on the table? And don't Wizards get d6 HP to start now? And can't wizards 'prep' more than two spells at 1st level? Also, my 1e wizards used Darts so they could throw 3 a round.

I would normally treat those as Falchions. YMMV of course.

Sabre = cutlass = scimitar in my games. Rapier also has the light quality, because RAPIER.

I find play most interesting in 5-9 but I voted 10-14, mostly because most games I play don't reach that high and I'd love to take advantage of some higher-level content. My group generally skips 1-3.

So, wait, we're ALL playing ladies now? This should be awesome. I'm expecting a lot of YA tropes. Romance. Heartbreak. Senior Prom!

I have to admit, given the super-nature of the genre, I first thought Fat Man Jack was going to be an Asian nuclear-powered... uh, person.

To clarify, I wasn't commenting on grimdark in Marvel movies (Supes and Batman hold the prize atm, both DC, and that's kinda their jam as anti-Marvel), but in all of media over the past decade or so. The media's need to be dark and edgy outweighed the quality of stories they told.

I completely enjoyed the movie... even its heavy-handed story-telling, specifically how everything went great for the heroes by sheer and utterly insane coincidence. That final fight though... the 'DM' literally putting giant chasms in the way of the players so they don't solve main plot issues...

What I don't understand is, if he wants to be a superhero, why wouldn't he MAKE a superhero? I get now that it's because he's railing against the game; I also get that this player may be going through some real-life issues and that frustration or w/e is leaking into your game nights. All I can...
