Warning: pickpockets! Remember that thieves can strike anywhere at any time, even in dungeons. AND Not unlike kangaroos, the female Devourers are known to carry their young in a special pouch in their abdomen. ALSO Like most short-lived relationships, Johny just thought she had...

Gee, you wouldn't happen to have played Skies of Arcadia recently, have you...? ;) I'd like to see the other spell levels... Water strikes me as a bit underpowered. Even life has better offense spells, and the utility spells aren't all that. This is a bit iffy. A water-ist simply can not use...

You can never make an AoO against a creature you don't threaten, regardless of whether or not his actions might provoke one. You do not threaten anything whose space (or "face", if you prefer) lies outside your threatened area. Short answer: no, you can't.

I'm quite sure they had 9th level spellcasters with GMW though... :D

Well, I'm in the process of converting Midnight into 3.5 myself. It's not hard at all, just adjust all references to absolete/renamed feats, skills, and spells and you're just about done. I'm trying to decide which PrClasses to allow though. It sounds fairly reasonable to allow the Frenzied...

Well, the Slaads and Titans have DR/Law... And the Inevitables have DR/Chaos. I'm sure there are others, from MM2 and FF.

Re: Thank you Well, most lycanthropes have, what, 5/silver? That just reduces your damage by 5, so a monk should still be able to deliver some meaningful damage. The same goes for demons and devils (it's cold iron, btw). The pit fiend and balor have 15/something, and a high level monk can...

Except, of course, that rogues will still take a single level of ranger all the time, so they can do better sneak attacks when they surprise somebody (which should be often). A rogue 1 / ranger 1 would have +2d6 when surprising somebody! No thanks. I'll take the 3.5 ranger as is.

(Although I support 3.5 and think the hobby is still going strong, this joke popped into my head.) WotC trudges along with a big cart behind him, filled with RPG books. We can see glimpses of Alternity, and various other defunct TSR games. WotC: "Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!"...

Ah, yes. When the discussion is going against you, throw with mud. Yes Iron Chef, I am a hack&slasher. That is why my PC got married to another PC and took 8 ranks into Profession: (mommy) when she got pregnant and gave birth to her baby daughter. Just so I could slaughter more orcs. One more...

No it doesn't. My PCs have plenty of cross-class skills, and while they are not as good as the classes that are supposed to be experts at it (duh!), they do not suck at all. It was not cleric-specific because any orc could have said it. There is nothing that ties it to clerics specifically...

Grey Vender - An enormous, towering monstrosity that tries to sell you stuff. Typical climate/terrain is the local market square. Salaad - A malicious race of vegetable dishes, natives of the plane of Limbo. Moper - A subterranean monster that camouflages itself, and waits until people get...

PDFs are not executable files, nor do they contain macros. Hence, they can not contain viruses. This whole "I'll infect you with a virus!" deal got old when I was 12, and Kazaa has recently started on anti-virus measures anyway. Iron Chef The example you gave is in no way cleric-specific...

Well, they can do it with Charm Person, for one. :D Your argument for intimidate doesn't hold much water though. The part of "alien" blood is just flavortext, and it is just something the sorcerors claim anyway. And even if they do look funky, so what? Have you seen the average D&D party? I...

No offense, but I honestly hate the changes you've suggested, Iron Chef. Giving sorcerors all Cha-based skills. Why? Because their spellcasting uses Cha? So that makes them more diplomatic? More intimidating? I can't wrap my head around this one. I can see a case for Bluff (though I don't...

Canned Health "Genotsknots" (Only those speaking Dutch will get that one :D )

You don't have to describe it either way. You're just allowed the option of describing, thereby earning you an extra die or two (and Exalted routinely has 20+ dice for a single action, so it's not as if we're talking about huge changes). I don't see how a conversation-dominator could be more...

My experience tells me differently. A very strong warrior and a very cunning one can be expressed more fully in such a system than just taking Power Attack or Expertise. The strong one can actually describe how his blows are so strong that the opposition can not effectively parry with his...

In Wushu? More or less. As a cinematic game, it uses scene resolution, not task resolution. For instance, when fighting the Horde of Ninjas, the goal is not to first kill Ninja 1, then Ninja 2, etc. The goal is to defeat the collective whole. So, you declare you horribly mutilate Ninja 1 in an...

Re: Re: What's your opinion of GURPS? I beg to differ. As I noted previously, Exalted will allow you to get extra dice (it is a pool system) for proper descriptions of your actions. For example, you say.. "I hit him with my mace!" "Roll whatever you're supposed to roll." vs "I grit my...
