The copy of the manual they referenced was horribly out of date though. I got a copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, also by Palladium Books, which was published in 1985. Homosexuality is listed as a form of insanity on page 16. But, homosexuality was declassified as a mental illness in 1973...

Does this mean that 4e will list homosexuality as a mental illness as well now? Because that was always my favorite* part of Palladium's works. * When I said "favorite" I meant "hate it to death".

Quoted. For. Truth. Behold, the two handed saber. http://www.todoespadas.com/images/TraditionalEventsJK/jk_205.jpg

Are you seriously suggesting that rogues should aspire to be third rate wizards? :confused: A rogue should be able to contribute to combat by being a rogue. That means high mobility and dirty blows. It seems like 4e will give that, but we'll wait and see before passing final judgment on that...

Venomous snakes and spiders also have a habit of biting when it's really inconvenient. Wolves only rarely fight to the death. They must be famished before getting that desperate. That said, D&D is a world were evil eco-terrorist druids send forth nature's killers to destroy small villages. So...

LotR is pretty uncommon in the way it killed off a main character. It's not really fair to use a pre-scripted, deliberate death to prove the skill of a fictional race of warriors. In Star Wars the 'troopers miss for the exact same reason the Uruk-Hai don't: it's in the script. But even then Han...

True, but they're also not really any less complicated.. ;)

Correct, but we Dutch people spell it "schade". For some reason 'ch' = hard g for us. My name's not my own. I shamelessly stole it quite a while ago, so I can only give the pronounciation which I think it uses. Bell (the thing that makes noise) fay (pixie) nee (part of your leg) or (either/or)

All IMO: Munchkin: somebody who (attempts to) make the most powerful character possible, abusing both the letter and spirit of the rules in doing so. He will disrupt game balance, the GMs sanity, fun for other players, the very lifes of other PCs, and just generally ruin things for all. As...

I like 'em. First of all, I don't see the reason why psychic powers are a Sci-fi only thing. Psionics has its own feel, with telepathy and telekinetics and everything. The only thing I dislike here is the way D&D doesn't try hard enough to make the arcane, divine, and psi different from...

I also have a big problem with players who act real charismatic, but whose PCs don't have the stats to back it up. I do it like this: I ask the player what his character is trying to get across. What arguments does he use, what kind of examples does he use? Then, I ask him for a...

Smurfs. Yes, we had smurfs too in a campaign I was playing in a long time ago. However, these smurfs were different. Although they were tiny, the wielded battleaxes so huge that even an ogre would have a hard time holding on to it. And they hated us too, for no particular reason. The fight was...

I've got a printed-out list of about a hundred of these things. I'll type them up and post them when I get home. Preview (from my faltering memory): Charm Friends Explosive Familiar (range: your own familiar) Darkness, 15 micron radius Detect Lightning (has a range of 1') Leomund's Orphan...

"Uncle Trapspringer" :D 35 - The Guerillia Fighter While not an expert in toe-to-toe combat, the guerillias are very adapt at sabotaging infrastructures, swaying public opinion into helping them, daring assassinations, and various other methods to win the war without ever stepping onto the...

You seem to link facing to hit locations. May I ask why? All facing means (to me at least) is the direction you look at. Or rather, the direction your entire body "points" at. By giving a horse a 5x10 space, one can flank it in such a manner that it could not logically attack you. But it does...

I really don't want to unleash a flamewar or anything, but I'd like to respond to psion for a moment... If a horse is 5x10, then clearly you can see which side of him has to be one of his flanks (the 10' side) and which side has to be the head (the 5' side that moves forward all the time). And...

3.5 works best for me. I'm sure it's possible to come up with a good system that accurately deals with facing, but it would take too much time to be worth it, IMO. Systems like C&T don't work for me, because they just slap facing on you. Like a trained fighter is actually going to be facing the...

I can play/DM just fine in a standard core only campaign. I'm also appalled that your players outrightly try to refuse playing in such a campaign. It is the character's personality that counts. However, I do agree that playing a non-standard race can be a blast. The difference between a...

I can recommend Midnight to you. While there are 4 types of elves, there are also 3 types of humans. There are also 2 types of dwarves and halflings, though the differences aren't as pronounced as with elves and humans. (Especially humans.) But I can really recommend Birthright. One type of...
