    Excerpts: Angels

    I squee at your post! <3 And whole-heartedly agree. Its long past time something like this was done. Average_Citizen; Do you really think that some degree of realistic moral relativism is *bland* compared to Black and White absolutism?

    Excerpts: Angels

    Angels and Demons predate Judeo-Christian Myth. Vedic for the win! (And really, the Vedic religions are FAR more interesting in their mythos.. and hideously complicated) Hong - Its just too.. Christian. I like the general feel of the default 4e world. I like my understanding of the...

    A Whippershnapper's Review

    Glad to hear you enjoyed your experiences! One of the things I think the 2e era have not realised about the 3.x era, is that 3.x, while not being anti-roleplay, does *nothing* to encourage it. More than any other edition, 3.x presents the ability to reduce everything to a die roll. This is my...

    swarm of minions attack!

    Wee.. My 4e Group has.. A Teifling Paladin of Gruumsh A Dwarf Fighter. A Dragonborn Cleric of Bahumat A Human Mage with aspirations to Godhood. An Eladrin Rogue (Recently Retired Assassin) And two characters who are not yet sure. So.. I'm going to have 7 players. Possibly 8. This leads me to...

    Female Dragonborn - No longer have breasts?

    No, I'm applying consistency, or physics, at least. Not neccessarily OUR real-world-physics. A Str 16 halfling can apparently lift almost 6 times its own body weight, straight over its head. This is where my inner consistency checker comes into play, and starts beeping madly.

    Disarming a character from powers?

    Hong, normally, you're a funny man. I don't think its very helpful in this instance. Rechan - Its a good question. If, for some reason, VSM is totally missing as a prequisite for spells, I will be re-instituting it. Thats the only thing I think is necessary. Everything else can be dealt with...

    Your role? Nothing matters but combat.

    Er... What? Why *would* I? I might describe my character, Maugrimm; Ice-cold blue eyes, piercing gaze, and a well-chiseled face look down at you. At 6'2, the well armoured, well muscled man infront of you is very imposing indeed. A heavy looking mace and a large metal shield strapped to his...

    Female Dragonborn - No longer have breasts?

    Grrr. Did you ever take the carrying capacity changes underhand with Halflings (For being small?) That and they need a -4 to strength.. or they all look like pocket hercules. If, anywhere, it was fluffed that they were magically super-halflingly strong for their size, I'd be better with it...

    Your role? Nothing matters but combat.

    What in the name or Orcus are you talking about? The role is irrelevant outside of combat. Your Fighter/defender can be a court dandy who happens to be an excellent swordman. He might thrive off the the petty intrigues in an average court, while your Cleric/Leader is sullen and introspective...

    Your role? Nothing matters but combat.

    I'm sorry, I can't even see how that was supporting your OP. As regards as your OP.. its a metagame concept. It doesn't stop your character doing anything in game. It reflects what he's best suited to in combat.. But I really, honestly, don't understand the issue. Pick a character concept...

    Female Dragonborn - No longer have breasts?

    Do people not know what a monotreme is?

    Female Dragonborn - No longer have breasts?

    Like being warm-blooded? Dragonborn are monotremes. They'll be keeping mammary glands, but have no nipples, like other momotremes, in my campaign. They'll have a cloaca, and hold eggs internally for most of the gestation period.

    Monster HP question

    The best reason is so that things like environment damage (should it exist) won't kill them. (Which it shouldn't) Having said that, it opens other concerns regarding how much incidental damage they could take. *sigh*

    The Call of the World Builder

    Er, I don't intend this to be an insult, as you've already indicated you've got little spare time, etc.. But wouldn't you be better off playing somebodies built NWN module, or something? What you want to do would bore me to tears. Its taken all the fun out of assembling a campaign/story. I...

    Why does WotC hate Macs?

    There is no particular technical reason Blizzard are above their competition. They had good IP, good timing. They have lousy support, and a lousy development cycle. Decent parts of that second problem may be cedable to supporting Macs, but I strongly doubt it.

    Traps: How do they WORK?

    Character creates class, not class creates Character. Why would you need to pickup up TWF? If you want to wield two weapons, then be a Ranger class, and your character will call themseves whatever you want.. If you want to be a backstabby TWF, then you'll need to learn the skill sets for both...

    D&D 4E A Satisfactory game of 4E

    I do a lot pre-campaign prep-work, a lot of note taking, and a lot of 'off-the-top-of-my-head' things. I tend to plan the major currents of events that may impact the PCs, and let them control the minor currents. Currently, I'm building a 300km x 300km piece of land, for what I am planning to...
