Sweet. Let's just take this full circle make that Create Undead so the chickens are ghouls and have them eat the chef. That's good gaming.

Does the chicken's knowledge of its own suffering make it that much more delicious? I'm tempted to awaken all my future meals. Mmmmmm, awakened veal. Actually that could make for a pretty creepy encounter. A pen of awakened animals that know they are going to be eaten. I guess since it's a...

Saint is a pretty sweet template but it's waaaaaay underpriced at +2 ECL. Most right thinking GMs won't let it go for that cheap especially if it is applied to anything righteous like a paladin, cleric, or monk. I got away with +2 only because the base character was a child. A glowing, golden...

Since the versatility of the cleric seems to be your biggest issue how about a reversal of general and domain spells? Instead of being able to memorize an extra domain spell on top of the cleric list make the additional spell be the cleric list and the standard issue be the domain spells. In...

For the record, I get plenty of use out of myself. (What the hell is that supposed to mean?) Personally, I don't use hags nearly enough. And the ethergaunt has yet to be utilized to their full potential in any of my games but once I get them balanced a bit more with the usual levels I run at...

That's the heart of it. Optimization is not in the playtest equation. I said it earlier in this thread. Optimization comes after hours and hours of play and pouring over rule-books. Playtesting is usually done by a mass of people that all start at ground zero. So if you have 20 groups doing 50...

The latter for sure. It's an extraordinary ability not supernatural. I think the former implies a supernatural insight. Now if the minotaur had a relatively accurate map maybe then he could unerringly navigate to an unknown location.

Ouch. Emph mine obviously. That is a pretty harsh situation. But that is endemic to your game, not something that is generally part of the typical D&D party dynamic. And don't get me wrong. I am not judging. PvP happens. Is that something that you, as a GM, even want though? Anyway, different...

That is so very true and so very telling in regards to the evolution of D&D from 3.0 to 3.5 and finally 4.0. 3.0, and to a lesser extent 3.5 because it is a derivative, presume balance based on an ideal of how the game should be played. 3.0 kept much of the ideal that was present in 1e and 2e...

Case for case It really depends what the NPC is being used for. Mooks/minions/grunts whatever. They serve one purpose, disposable speedbumps. Why give them any depth when their life-span is so short. Make sure they are balanced, yes, but not with the meticulousness that is required of NPCs...

This is the first in depth look I've had at Pathfinder. I got A1, looked it over and like what I saw but never had a chance to really go page by page. That being said I'm giving my impressions as a whole rather than just the A2 changes. Races Ability Score Modifiers I would have like to have...

Yeah, we've got some rough and tumble politicos. Chretien was always one to take matters into his own hands. But we still don't hold a candle to India.

Is that worded properly? You could end up with a disabled grey area where it is actually more advantageous to be down and dying them still moving around under your own power. The scenario that immediately springs to mind is that the healer is all out of regular heals and a character is at 0 hp...

Please, no. I'm a Canadian and I want nothing to do with Savage Worlds. There was such buzz about it here that I checked it out. Imagine my chagrin when I saw it was generic Deadlands. I'm not knocking other peeps choices, do what you want. But I'd rather roll naked in a field of d4s than...

Although not bona fide necromancy could I have stabilized this thread? Anyway... I was thinking about this the other day after our bi-weekly Conan game. In that system Armor as AC has been given the boot and turned into DR. It's good enough but I did notice at lower levels things tend to drag...

These are great. I'm not even going 4e but I'm gonna use them while posting. As in... That is a stupid idea! :bmelee: or You and what army? :area: or :1: I see you are surprised. :D Thanks guys. Good gaming.

Several weeks? So mid-May then? Since the database is being moved over entirely we won't have to re-register or anything silly like that will we? And what about inactive accounts? Is it possible that I could reclaim my old handle, Ku Kullin, from the days of yore when this was still Eric's...

Check out a band call F*#%ed Up (sorry mods). I've been into punk since my early teens and not much of say the last five years has caught my ear. These guys blew my head off. Epic length punk songs, whistling solos, insane time changes. The opening track on the the Hidden World double album is...

It looks like most of the Other Invocations have some manner of spell as a basis. Some don't have a specific spell analog but are a combination of two spell-like affects. I think the steroid feel is because of the small amount of invocations Warlocks actually receive. The design philosophy seems...

What is your build to 6th? I don't see how your doing it. Your Heroic Destiny perhaps? Totally. You made that clear with your original descriptions, I thought. That's why I've mentioned buffs plenty, and suggested cutting the Warmage. His whole spell list is attacks an aggressive defense...
