Doesn't necessarily have to be cash - they could be trading magic items, or even services. In fact, that last leads to more adventures, which can only be a good thing... J

Once you're in part two, the islands can be done in any order.

The answer here would be 'no'. The paladin is perfectly capable of becoming evil. There just happen to be consequences if he does. The threat of losing one's class abilities might deter, but it does not necessarily prevent. It's like the difference between "wizards can't use swords" and...

One of the constant themes of the D&D "underdark" is its weird and alien nature - packed full of aberrations, mysterious civilizations (well, they used to be mysterious before they became the cool flavor of the decade), strange alterations to the laws of magic and nature, etc. As such, making...

If you're going to reduce the XP awards, you pretty much have to reduce the treasure in the same proportion, otherwise you get this problem. J

It occurs to me that fusangite's problems with Law/Chaos are just as easily applied to Good/Evil. Consider, for example, the inquisitor who tortures people (evil) to keep his church free of, say, demonic influence. On a personal level, he's evil, but he's working to fight evil and to protect...

The weird thing is that it seems to come up in Sepulchrave's game all the time. I wonder if he's altered the rules... J

Often I'll say "so-and-so says something in a language you don't understand", or be more descriptive about how they're saying it (shouts, growls, hisses, whatever). For things that I'm sure are going to happen, though, I'll often prepare the quote in the other language beforehand, even if it's...

Just got mine (Torn Asunder, Into the Black, Into the Green, into the Blue, and Spells&Magic)! I see that I slid in before the s/h prices were adjusted, so I'll just consider that I owe you more support. I'm eyeing A&A 3.5 for sometime post-holiday... J

...and I've answered my own question. Wow.

I know I haven't read your SH in a while, but didn't Nolin go epic quite a while back? ...do I need to do some major catching up? J

Check out Bad Axe's Grim Tales for some more uses for AP and some suggestions on awarding them. Plus, it's cool, and ENWorld's own Wulf Ratbane wrote it. J

That's exactly the point, though - it's really not supposed to represent either, if you look at where it came from - the Moorcock multiverse. It, like 'good/evil', is supposed to represent monolithic universal opposing forces. Once you get down into the human scale, everything gets muddy -...

And yet, we aggregate hand-eye coordination together with both manual dexterity and gross physical dexterity, all three of which could be represented by different stats for maximum realism. (Now that I review other posts, I see that people have made the same point with Charisma.) What it...

The EoT&OdA (that's a mouthful even as an acronym!) is good stuff - I picked it up in the Poly bundle way back when. The name, despite its length, doesn't cover half of what's in there: Much more detailed (and more sensical, if that is a word) crafting rules, lots of data about different...

I guess maybe for a dungeon crawl. For my Freeport game, one character is abandoning a lover to make an alliance by marriage, and the other is expected to marry and produce an heir at some point. Both of those things are major plot points, and would have very different implications if the...

Read it as "not totally random" insted and you turn it into a rejection of the awful 2e 'CN = insane, acting completely randomly' description. That's how I always interpreted it, anyway. I always pictured Chaotic people as being perfectly able to make plans, but that doesn't necessarily mean...

It's not a consideration because I have no desire to do so. There are vast differences between mainstram and gaming publishing markets. TSR's failure to recognize this was one of the major contributors to its financial problems. In other words, you have more lenient standards for amateur...

Any of the above methods would be...possible...for a light flail. Sticking it through your belt is probably not the best idea as the head will swing around and it won't be very comfy. I did turn up a 'flail sheath' on Google: http://www.eeldrytch.com/ScansContest/Q102Winner.html Anyway...

I'm finally sitting down and playing through Sou/HotU for NWN.
