I agree. And (to your credit) I think the AP's have steadily grown better in terms of the visual style. And art work for allies, too. :) The majority of our group (who are normally QUITE suspicious of potential employers) had ZERO qualms about agreeing to help Lavinia in the STAP, after I...

Not high enough level yet. :lol:

Assuming "Optmized" refers primarily to combat-scnearios? Then, No. I'm not optimized at all. If I were "translated" to D+D, I would probably be a Multi-Classed Bard/Druid. :heh:

The fact that we are even having this discussion seems to denote (IMHO) that there is someting flawed with the system.. The RAW seem to promote a sort of schizophrenia within themselves. If modules are geared to be written for "optimized" characters,why even bother including sub-par feats...

Cool. Because this conversation is intersting, despite us being on opposite ends of the gaming spectrum. SO, if your world is so deadly, in your opinion, (referencing the "Tyrannical King" bit specifically), would a PC with low Charisma and no Diplomacy ranks be sub-optimal? SHould he be...

Never said you said that. You mean a game where everyone is supposed to be having fun, right? Again, you as a DM could help mitigate this problem very easily. Sure a sub-optimal character MAY be less efficient in combat, but there ARE doubtless areas where he excels,right? Why not cater to...

FWIW, this seems a bit harsh to me. Why should a player be penalized for making a character they like, even if it's not "optimized"? (GAH, I even hate that term.) Simply because the modules as written assume a certain level of optimization? As the DM, isn't it your job to tailor the challenges...

You are not alone. :) I've been toying with a Warforged Sorceress. Now let me preface this by saying that we have a pretty cool DM, who isn't "KILLER" by any means. Not terribly bad on it's own, as a concept, but I kinda envisioned this character ("Eldritch Ivy") as a failed Druid, so she had...

Interesting topic, thanks for bringin it up! :) Q.F.T. "Sense of Wonder" is when everything is new and wondrous, a blank slate, and anything is possible. (Remember meeting your first metallic dragon? "WHAT? He's FRIENDLY?) "Sense ofWonder" is, to me, something that is INCERDIBLY hard to...

But.. But... Monkeys make everything better. DOn't they? :lol: That said, Jim makes a valid point. Everyone has their own opinion about this "Gleemax" situation, and are entitled to it. (FWIW, I have no interest in Gleemax: there are plenty of other sites I visit to get my gaming fixes. Not...

Interesting; we seem to share the same ideas, but for differnet reasons. As a current fan of "Heroes" (the TV show), and a former avid player of "Heroclix"... Color me completely unimpressed with this announcement. Personally, I think it's "too little, too late" for Heroclix. (Though I...

Sad to hear, but good to know. :eek:

Cool. I enjoy hearing about variations in campaigns like this. In our game, Smenk was more the "mustache-twirling, Snidely-Whiplash-type" villain. Do you have a wiki or something for your game? I'd be interested in checking it out. Feel free to sign up for our Wiki, if you like. I try to...

Trying and failing. :) Since we're behind you, I don't think there's any major spoilers revelaed. ;) We have a hair-trigger party. When we found out Smenk was in league with Filge, we just snapped. (The fACt that we were assaulted en route to the Old Observatory by Undead, and one of the...

The average party HP is considerably BELOW that actually. (Highest after the 30 is the warrior/cleric at 21, everyone else is around the teens.) The ninja, depsite great stealth skills and the Ki power of "Ghost Step" has literally been knocked unconcious in almost every battle to date...

Interesting points. My group is also playing through AoW, and is into "Three Faces of Evil" as well. :) Out explots are chronicled here: www.ageofworms.wikispaces.com. Our PC's are: Kobold Ninja (my PC) Dwarven Cleric/Fighter (aspiring Hammer of Moradin) Gnome Sorcerer Bwarven Bard Human...

Well said, Piratekitty. :) The three Adventure Paths are some of the best work I've ever seen put out for the D&D game. I wish everyone at Paizo all the best for the future, and am eagerly awaiting "Pathfinder". And I'll also add a "Job Well Done" to everyone associated with the magazines...

Fortunately, we're still in the EARLY stages of the campagin (Like "Gate Pass" early), so this isn't a major thorn. :) Take the time you need to put out a quality product; I haven't been disappointed yet by you guys! I'm more bummed 'cause I just look forward to reading each new installment...

Wow, I love this place! I'm a HUGE Torg fan, and still have most of the sourcebooks for it. :)

My July purchases thus far? (RPG and Game Related) Complete Champion: Not normally a fan of newer WotC stuff, to be honest, but bought this without even reading a review, based on the theme, the cover art, and a quick flip-through in my LGS. Eberron: Forge of War. (I keep swearing off buying...
