So... Are you looking for advice on mechanics, types of encounters, environmental elements? Do you want everything off-kilter, or just a few elements to play up the elements at court? What is your bench mark for funny as opposed to childish or silly? And, you mention first wanting "silly"...

4) I don't want to do this job. Can't we go to the tavern instead?

Hopefully they'll have a stack of these at Gen Con - cause I need to pick one up.

I have to say that I've oft heard of the game, and while I never actually looked into it, I may now have to do so.

Huzzah!

Agreed. Racial Paragons, to me at least, seem to be squarely aimed at the assumptions made by the 3.x Player's Handbook. Meaning, if you are an Elf, you are a Wizard; if you are a Half-Orc, you are a Barbarian; etc. That in turn, makes those mini-classes (they only were built out for 3...

Does Character ascension to deific status count? And don't forget the building/gaining of a keep and the associated hordes of followers.

And we also have no idea how many different subscribers Paizo has with their differing lines. Thus, saying DDI is the mostest, falls short of actual comparative values.

For the most part, I'd think it's the honor system. If you are tithing 10% of your wealth, then that means your wealth - it doesn't discriminate between liquid funds (gold and silver pieces) and other forms of wealth (magic and land and property). Thus, if you hauled in 100gp and 1000gp...

With XP turned off, all I can do is say thanks for that post as I think it's fairly accurate. And if I understand the initial question correctly, I'm not sure you can get the real facts about why there is such ill will toward WotC. I say that because facts will be interpreted by one based on...

Based on absolutely nothing but race - humans - yes, it would be balanced. By its very nature it'd be so as there is nothing but the human for a human to be measured against. But ya, once you start adding in all the homebrew stuff, such as those bloodlines and the traits, there is no way of...

I'm waiting to see what will happen, with no real expectations. Because it's ultimately a computer driven mechanic, pretty much every single MMO out there is a shell around the concept of "kill things - get stuff". And as such, it ultimately gets boring. I've played a variety of MMOs, and...

Meh. I think the lack of details actually makes me not really care about the thing. With all the other games and seminars going on, there's plenty already out there without wanting to waste my time guessing.

This idea actually reminded me at first of Mongoose Publishing's Chaos Mage. The basic idea is that you channel the energies of chaos into whatever form you wanted. Depeneding on what you did with the energy, the DC to cast the spell was determined (IE: duration, effect, and range all had...

As a player, in a word, No. I'd miss playing my barbarically inspired Half-Orc Fighter with their great axe; or my less-than-sane Half-Elvish Cleric; or my knowledge driven Wizard. There are some character ideas that just don't fit with the list you present. Granted, there is nothing wrong...

Awesomely enough, 'the Jester' did just that and shared it with us over here. :)

True. But then, depending on the circle, alignments have always been rather "open to interpretation".

That part is also not correct. According to page 20 of the AD & D Player's Handbook (6th printing, 1980), the Druid "... They are the only absolute neutrals (see ALIGNMENT), viewing good and evil, law and chaos, as balancing forces of nature which are necessary for the continuation of all...

Off the top of my head, no. You have to be Lawful Neutral, Neutral, or Chaotic Neutral.

I know you said that you didn't want a custom spell, but I have to ask, is this being looked at from the point of view of a player, or a DM? I ask because as a DM, you can Rule 0 it and have it be a [gypsy|witch|prophetic|etc.] curse or something of similar taint. Of course, you can relate it...
