One thing I was going to add is the wounded condition: When you are down con from an injury, you are wounded. This is a -1 to attacks and AC in addition to any specific wound results should the DM be using them.

Yes. No, since hps will be cheap (you can rest for an a few hours and get them back, also in light of your next question, its best to keep the hp max static) This does seem to cause a bit of a rules hassle. Since this is supposed to be aminimalist approach, I think I would change that to the...

Comic V is chaotic neutral. He is insane, driven so by the toture he endured. He is driven by revenge and seeks to destroy the regime that destroyed him. No more no less. He simply knows that freedom MAY be a byproduct of his actions. But he really does not care about freedom. All he wants...

Yes it does. When you torture, you have to ignore a part of your own humanity to do so. You cross a line. You are evil when your torture.

Everything can be forgiven, its just a matter of being strong enough to do so. Only the weak withhold forgiveness, they are too afraid of being hurt again.

I did a lot of work with the wound vitality points. The problem with that way of doing it is that you had to rewrite a lot of stuff and add a lot of things. There were saves all over the place. There was a lot of stat replication. It took a while to distill both the systems down to this...

hps come back but only to the level that the current con permits. Con heals like normal ability damage. I might have to do somthing with cure * wounds and restoration. The restoration spells can remain the same. Cure light would have to use the + to heal con. Thus lesser restoration is...

Today this ran accross my mind- Vampires drain blood - this is represented as con loss the wounding property for weapons - this causes con loss on a normal hit. So it seems to me that the system already had an implied wound ruleset intact. The DM just sort of has to turn it on...

Response: Paragraph 1: I would rather have my character die. Paragraph 2: My fun and your fun are apparently different. Also, your assumptions are loaded. Only a DM with a carefully crafted story will not let you back in with a new character after yours has died. I know I let my players...

Hey PC- does working for Nintendo mean that you are now in the Seattle area?

One way to handle the wacky character syndrome is to roll with it. Run them through the wackyest, most non-sensicle, pun-filled adventures you can. You might have a good time. But I bet they will see the immaturity of it all and you might get a request for more serious material. Then again...

I have acctually seen this happen. The girl looked at her boyfriend and said, "yeah your're right. Lets go out friday night and see how it goes." That is qualified with the fact that the guy she dumped was clueless and really insecure with himself. The truth was that she had only maintained...

I find that a lot of the annoying schticks that DM pull come from either some article that suggested it as a way of making your game different, or (more commonly) come from the first time the DM ever played and had a good time. Generally these schticks are ok in moderation but the DM remembers...

Races of Faerun, or The Unapproachable East. Possibly the Shining South or Waterdeep.

I am in the Diaglo school of stat rolling. However I require that the player state class and race before the roll and that total modifiers equal at least a +2; and that the character rolled be viable for the class declared. Otherwise it is a reroll for the whole array. Viable is defined as...

Yeah, I've seen that one. Did it a couple of times in fact. What I think causes that is that the DM feels that since the players figured it out he must not be smarter than them, and so fears that his players will have found him out and replace him. The thing he does not realise is that few...

I firmly believe that if you have put somthing in the game that is essential to move forward you should have a way of getting it done without havig to withold it. If its a riddle, and the players don't know the answer, tell it to them and roll to see what character solves it. If its important...

The backstory so you can get at the players is messed up. I like my players to have relatives that come looking for them when they don't come home. I think a lot of the witholding information and impossible riddles and such is DM Ego. I am regretfully guilty of the 300 rolls to climb down the...

and this is definately the golden age of dungeon.

You guys are part of the Regime. No need to feel left out...
