Actually, in this question, the correct answer is to see that that Slave is returned, and that the master takes no unlawful punishment, and in the view that the punishment is extreme (As I imagine it would) the paladin has a responsibility to change the system that is in place, under what ever...

I wonder if Borders Australia stocks this stuff. Hmm.

Breathing lightning? Hmmmmm... That's actually pretty hard. You'd need an ionized path, as well as something to generate a solid, high wattage blast of static electricity. Its really the ionization that would be difficult, as most things that would ionize a path in the air are going to be...

Advancing any one character above any other, in terms of XP, is almost always going to cause problems. If you want to assign RP XP to the group, then distribute it, that is unlikely to cause the same problems. I, however, have always preferred to distribute rewards OOC, at a more abstract...

So why not just call those Good and Evil? Or unaligned, seeing neither of those examples is 'powerful' enough to warrant getting somebody chalked one way, or the other, as Good or Evil.. let alone 'Lawful Good' or 'Chaotic Evil' I'm personally labelling those as 'Others-at-all-costs' and...

<--- Location. And I know we go to the same games store. And I can get a CNC manipulator, but Strapping it to my back is going to get me accused of being a Techpriest Cosplayer.

Makes me laff. Laff, then cry.

High powered lungs for great justice. What's the problem?

They better be there. I've got a Tiefling Paladin of Gruumsh, A murderous wizard with delusions of omnipotency, a Dwarven Fighter dedicated to Might=Right, an amnesiac infernal-pact Warlock, an honest thief, an undecided cleric, and somebody who isn't sure of what they want yet. My party is...

honestly, I'm not sure why people would think the roles are any different. If you played as a group, instead of 5+ individuals, you'd have been using the basic concepts anyway.

KM was indicating that just like parties have people who do not want to play a cleric, there are parties who do not want a wizard. He believes they will be equally disadvantaged to a 3e party without a cleric. I happen to disagree, for a few reasons, as I think that the solution to a lack of...

Intimidation is always about threats. Which is why this; "While you may not trust us too closely lord, surely you trust lord blackheart less." Is not intimidation, its actually diplomacy. "While you may not trust us too closely, lord, I am sure we can convince blackheart of the truth of our...

You're right. I should change Stealthy to Subtle. Both can be stealthy. Greatswords cannot be Subtle. How, exactly, are you ensivioning Hunters Quarry to work, that it offends you so?

Another case were it would be nice if the existing archetypes would be dropped for less flavourful, more meaningful names. This is partially a cross post. I've not read most of this thread, as I already agree with the OP, for the most part. What is missing. from the mechanics so far, is the...

I'd like to know the first part as well, as regards the second.. You're not *supposed* to whip it up on the fly. You're not supposed to whip up combat on the fly either. Maybe you, personally, can, but that's not the intent, and planning gives better results, most cases. Good combat...

Half the metagame concept/character problems would have gone away, if WoTC had deigned to name the classes something non-archetypical. Martial Defender Stealthy Martial Striker Ranged Martial Striker Melee Martial Striker Martial Leader Divine Defender Divine Leader Arcane Striker Arcane...

Yeah.. I'm tempted to use Warhammer rules for Minions. Damage taken to a group is always done to the closest minion first.

... Except MM is useable for OAs (I think? I've seen nothing to indicate otherwise. (Can you not use a ranged attack as an OA against an adjacent enemy?) Slow on an OA is brokenly good. Otherwise, I'm sure its got something similiar to do with stacking of abilities.

*cough* Till you realise that all his books are the same plot and characters, re-written, and that they are his wife's creations, at that. *cough* (I also loved eddings as a kid, then when I got older, realised they were crap.) I loved GRRM style fantasy as a kid too.. but there just wasn't...

My minions will generally be described as having less gear, etc. I'll be using perception checks (Yay for sensible mechanics!) to determine if the PC's realise something is different between two sets of characters. My standard tactic is going to be 4 minions with a brute/soldier in the middle...
