The player map inspires me to have an NPC give it to them marked with three red Xs. Whether the X's are assassination targets, planned robberies, or parade routes, I'm not sure. The 3-D maps would be good if seen as historical tapestries of how Cillamar used to look before it was attacked...

One clarifying question for anyone who actually played Castle Whiterock: what percent of your time do you think you spent in Cillamar as opposed to the dungeon? Maybe I should post that as a poll. So Star Wars does way more work than a DM would in characterizing people who won't ever come on...

I got 41 now too. The real fix was easier than the cosmetic fix! Bonus.

Well, it doesn't display how much you got or how much you gave, but I have 38 XP after the one Nifft gave me so we'll see if the next one takes me to 39 or 41.

The home base city near Castle Whiterock is a cut above anything I've run, even in other Goodman Games modules. It's easy to run a town by shuffling different NPCs into the slots "innkeeper," "healer," "merchant," "mayor." But Cillamar seems to have every other building occupied by a detailed...

I never actually played the system, just read some actual play reports. Too bad it doesn't run so smooth. I made a version of this that takes out all your complexity and leaves only the RPS choices. If this is the most stripped-down version possible, then it might be possible to add some of...

This never happened by the time I bought it (for $5 when 4E came out, so I'm not complaining). It's OK because the map is available here (as part of this giant map of Aereth). What I don't get though is that Castle Whiterock (#51) appears to be landlocked. I thought it was looking out on a...

Or you could have success be tied to whatever action succeeded. If the guy who tried Nature checks to climb Caradhras failed but the guy who tried Dungeoneering to go through the caves succeeded, well then the next round of rolls is about Moria. If the next round has a History success that...

My feeling is you should just make the forge let the character use the Enchant Magic Arms feat, just because it's no fair only wizards can do it. Also, it has to do more than just create fluff -- gotta do something mechanical and potentially useful, or it won't be a real reward. Fistguards: He...

I love Duel of Wits and wish D&D had a "social combat" aspect to it. Hopefully the 6 success 3 failure skill challenge will work for representing the "social hit points" Duel of Wits gives you. Your chart looks really complicated. Looking at the Duel of Wits rules, I think those are just as...

Oh, I was going to taunt Nifft by giving him just one experience point for replying to me, but it turns out I already gave for something else and I don't know what -- another reason you should be able to see at least your last 50 XP donations.

I would expect the number to matter more than you expect, because reputation has to be seen by others to be worth anything. Just like people value salary over things like a low-stress work environment, because they know everyone can appreciate the number, even if they barely know them. From my...

...and I thought by subscribing it changed to three points. Also, feature request, I'd like to be able to see all the XP I ever gave out or received, assuming it is kept track of at all. It'd be sort of a "best threads" list then.

Where can I find "monster stats by CR"? I tried Googling d20pfsrd.org and looking in my beta playtest book. That low damage expression at level 1 seemed a little high, so I checked out the first twelve CR 1 monsters from the 3.5 SRD (air elemental through giant worker ant). They do: which...

Well, it's good to state your assumptions openly. My group played for 15 years before I got there and never figured out "Aid Another," and I'm not planning to enlighten them because It's kind of a cheesy, flavorless mechanic that would be better handled by using "DM's Best Friend" +2 bonuses...

2 + 1/2 caster level, for magic items. I think unattended nonmagical objects auto-fail saves.

Question 1: Can I use this same table for 3.5, or is there a difference in how DCs are set? I see that the "Very Easy" column rises slowly from 10 to 15; in 3.5, a PC with no ability score and no skill points would need a 10 no matter what level, right? If this table works in 3.5 I will sing...

All the condition tracking, tiny bonuses, and detailed rules in 3.5 make it resemble a computer RPG in processing difficulty. Asking me to wing it in that system is like asking a computer programmer to "wing" a new Street Fighter opponent -- you can't just say "here's a dude," you have to...

My new 4E-influenced view of is that "Improved Trip" means "the feat where your attack knocks them prone." I always thought it was kind of silly to picture a wolf "tripping" someone or for a monk to have to hook his leg behind the other guy's leg like some kid on a playground. "Improved Trip"...

Is there anything aggro in core? Looking in the 4E MM, several of the soldiers have slow or immobilize abilities. That's one way to keep them near you -- especially in 3.5 with the full attack thing. I would have thought those abilities were for controllers, but it looks like the true...
