I concurr completely. This game is about having fun.

This is not about a good or bad encounter. This is about a ingame rule for various abilities/power that leave out much of the skill and just replace it with a big fat random chance. You could have low level clerics against a party of high level characters ( lets say level 6 clerics vs a party...

This. There is no problem if the main heroes lose to the villain if the fight lasted a while and due to bad roll or bad judgement. But when the whole encounter can be marred by a single bad die roll, well that just isn't fun. I agree completely, but none of this has to do with just rolling...

This is all very nice as written, but what happens when not one of you players fails a save but half the party? It goes against the narrative and just becomes very anticlimatic. Imagine beowulf facing the Grendel on his last epic battle and rolling a '1' on his fear check, yup Beowulf is a...

Well thats from the POV of a player, but its even worse from the POV of the GM. Consider my ealier Shackled City post in this thread. It took us more than a year to reach the last epic encounter. And on the first round of combat my players lost miserably. It was so demoralizing that even with...

Well at least you guys got feared and had enough time to run back and fight. On the 'Epic' battle of my last Shackled city game under 3.5 , the last boss took half the party on the first round with a save or suck ability, and then just ran after the other half killing each one by one. It was...

Okay here they are: 1) Can you use a power that lets you 'shift' while under the inmobilize condition? EX: a players is grabbed and wants to use a power to 'shift' out of the grab. 2) Can you pick the same daily twice? EX: figther level 5th wants to pick as his level 5th daily the same daily...

The intent of the poster is rather obvious. I chalk this one up for yet another edition-wars/trolling attempt.

the gord the rogue books novelize the 1e system. the drizz't books novelize the 2e system. the war of the spider queen books novelize the 3e system. 1E had Gord. 2E had Drizzt. 3E had Spider Queen series 4E has the rest of good fantasy literature. You sir, you win this thread.

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!! ....What?

F-22 cost = US$137.5 million Now imagine how many level 1 soldiers could have been hired and armed with m16+1, 2 sets of medical kits, gear and short change to spend on booze and whores. :) Of course in D&D I just say those are gifts from the gods or artifacts fo relics from earlier times...

Why are you?

Nope, no SRD. YOu gonna have to buy the book if you want the rules.

I used to look forward to GM screens, but way back then whne I started GMing 3E I decided to take the screen down and let the dice fall were they may. I don't know if I can ever put a screen back on.

This.

Oooh I am eager that my players reach epic levels, I'm soooo gonna throw them a fullblown combat with Balor minions!!!

Any of these: and more from: http://www.spawn.com/toys/series.aspx?series=268

Anyways, back to the OP post: The way I plan to do it in my game is to make the crafting process into a skill challenge. Using manyh of the players skills as well as attribute rolls. With a success being the item and a failure a lower quality item or wasted materials. Actually I will use this...

You sir, you win! Its the last line that cracks me up!
