Major: the picture gets uglier while you cease to age...

- The character is to be honored at a banquet by a local lord in recognition for some past deed. - The bard's latest song becomes wildly popular, and the group hears it wherever they go. - Someone mistakes the characer for someone else, and repays a gambling debt/returns and item/etc. - When...

Completely unrelated side note: Russell Crowe was in the Quick and the Dead. Kurt Russell was in everything else. Mostly unrelated side note: Back in SR3, we incorportaed gun-fu into our games by allowing characters to use their unarmed and armed combat skills to counter successes from...

Hurmmm... What about a Monk/Barbarian/Bear Warrior? A kung-fu fighting, raging grizzly bear. Now that's a killing machine.

Very cool. I always thought rhodin racial levels should lead to skurges (I did something similiar with Beloved of Sebeks and sebeki for my Wargods conversion). Much appreciated.

Well, its at least a miracle...

The thorn in my side is the alignment restrictions, particularly when it comes to Rage. (You have to be non-lawful to Rage, you have to be lawful to be a monk or a pallie.) It seems only to exist to neuter Barbarians who multiclass to either of those two classes. I could see it if Rage were...

I'd say yeah. You're not using it to duplicate a lower level spell or heal a condition, you're using it in the Wish/Miracle sense of doing an impossible thing, killing an unkillable creature.

I haven't been able to find any rhodin content over at diamondthrone.com. Any chance you'd reprint some of that stuff here?

I find the central issue with house rules to be credibility, a lot of times we'd rather go By The Book since it's easier to remember and look up on our own. That's not to say we don't use house rules because we do, it just has to have some heat behind it to overcome the inertial barrier. I...

Yeah, something about the first of April gave me the feeling we'd be getting some 4e "news". I've long thought WotC should take the existing books, fix some typos, and release that as "the long awaited Fourth Edition", if only so we could take a break from speculating for a few weeks before we...

There was one in the late 80's that I always liked. It was the Coercive Beginning and GM's Fiat module, that was three pages of opening boxed text in which the pc's were mangled, blown up, resurrected, sold into slavery, sent back in time and who-knows-what-else until the universe was...

On the whole, its not a bad tactic. Have they discovered Enlarge Person to get that sweet +4 size bonus to Intimidate checks (as well as increasing the area they threaten, and can therefore Intimidate in)? Frightened characters will fight if they have to, taking the same -2 to almost...

Most importantly, go Barbarian at 9th. Well, any level is a good level to go barbarian, but 9th was when I did it and it worked pretty well for me. You get the +10' ground speed right away plus Rage, and Uncanny Dodge at the next level. (I went the Spring Attack route for reasons known only...

I just picked up a copy of Gurps Greece of Amazon for $5, plus shipping. That with my Imperial Rome, Egypt and Camelot (which has a "historical" chapter) books makes for a pretty good set up for my Mythical History game (that I'll never run). Not bad for someone who's never played GURPS. Of...

Back in post 3 or 4, when I made this point, I went through my logical chain of reasoning to arrive at this conclusion and I was 99% sure someone was going to respond with, "No duh, it says right on Page xx of the PHB you can't make AoO's if you can't take an action." I still think someone is...

It would also save us some shoe leather if AoO's were called out as "Free Attack Actions" rather than "Free Attacks". I gotta go with Attacks are Actions (free or not) and a character incapable of taking actions is incapable of taking free ones.

QFT.

AoO's are listed as "free attacks", and they aren't listed under "Actions in Combat", but I think the more pertinent question is do you threaten if you are incapable of taking Actions? To quote the leader of the Neutral Planet, all I know is my gut says maybe. Dim Door is a little weird...

The best I ever rolled... ...in Shadowrun was a 46. I rolled a 6 seven times, and followed it with a 4. ...in White Wolf, 4 10's on 4 dice. 1 in 10,000. (I made it over the pit.)
