    Campaign Design

    Right now I'm writing up a FATE oneshot and came across a nice little bit that I personally feel works great for any game... Look Here and ignore the Character Sheet side of things. See the City and Location concepts? Use these. They really do help to allow you to develop a city. You can...

    Red Dragon, Virgins and a Doomed Halfling

    Well, the DM should watch for it... I mean, you get those virgins going, the Paladin falls in love, fights the dragon... Then next session you get this... Friends don't let friends become Knights of the Cross ;). Slainte, -Loonook.

    (Remember When You Were Young . . .) One Shot Advice

    Got my first character back! Well... The first three 'phases' of the character... the player wants to look a bit further into the generation rules. I told him that we're going to go with Aspects being named through song lyrics, and he really ran with it in a 30 minute awesome run :). So I...

    (Remember When You Were Young . . .) One Shot Advice

    Generating up a one-shot for personal use using the FATE system (a la the Dresden Files RPG)... I've been a bit of a fan of the concepts of the system over its overall application, but I have a few 'roleplaying interested' individuals who want something rules light to dip their feet into...

    I'm thinking of a TPK

    So the players have been warned repeatedly not to do something, not to do something, NEVER DO THIS... And they did it anyways? Crush them :). Slainte, -Loonook.

    Balancing Vancian

    I'm guessing his point is that the sorcerer would then be casting his metamagic spells over two full rounds? This would probably bring it more into play but really does screw the caster out of actions if he is metamagicing (and going to pretty much kill sorcerer metamagic). Personally you...

    Possessing your friends for fun and profit.

    Veiled appeal to superiority through alleged IQ/attack on the interpretation that has stood for 10 years due to other interpretations a.) not interpreting 'personal' and b.) in game abuse of powers meant to provide an advantage to classes that have extremely low HP/AC/etc. that the power...

    Dice notation

    It is not about 'theoretical mathematics' ... It is hackneyed symbolic logic. We all know the meaning of 1d4. The format is pretty simple... XdY X - Number of Dice rolled. d - Die 'constant' Y - Sides of rolled die. In and of itself XdY is an rule. For every appearance we known to roll X...

    As I stated above, if you have a DM stupid enough to allow for something that has been off the books for almost a decade because of the issues with the spell be my guest :). Slainte, -Loonook.

    Really? Or Magic Jar... I mean, the soul is known as existent, per the rules... It is mentioned throughout the game. It is the animating force that transfer between, and the 'you' part of your meat suit per Clone. Again, the rules question? Answered... You just don't like the answer...

    Of course the spell has not changed meaningfully between the three, and the ruling has not been challenged or spoken to. Erik Mona could comment on it... However, it has been the interpretation of pretty much everyone for 10 years in all three 'editions' we're talking about... I think mostly...

    That would be the 3.x FAQ. The Main FAQ 3.0, below it, has all of the information. Of course, just below it you can find this FAQ... Slainte, -Loonook EDIT: Provided attached. Please view P. 58. Or, you can always look up Magic Jar in the doc.

    Moreso you want to use something that is against the feel of both spells. This one is actually in the FAQ. See the following threads on the subject: Magic Jar and Personal Spells Buffs and Possession And the FAQ for spells, feats, etc. from DMG and PHB with clarification and RAW...

    Possessing your friends for fun and profit.

    It has been a common 'gotcha' for years... And it has been answered for through D&D. I don't see there being a change in PF for the spell's interactions. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Templar (Please Critique)

    An appeal to elders doesn't really work... As I have also DM'd during the period and run monks... Not really an issue. A Monk kit existed in the Priest Handbook because, again, Kits were the way that things were done... But the Monk of 2e was not of the type we see in 3e. For that you look to...

    Templar (Please Critique)

    So you gave the Inquisitor unarmed strikes? You lost me at Spellcasting and no real 'monk' abilities being presented. Why, specifically, do you hate the Monk? I mean, the class has been pretty much the same rough setup since it was first released. If you want something different build...

    Time: Material Plane vs Others

    Which is accounted for the in the MOTP with its various time dilation rules. For the most part the Outer Planes don't change times as it causes so weird questions regarding outsiders... :( Slainte, -Loonook.

    Time: Material Plane vs Others

    In the Elysium writeup it states Normal Time right at the top. No difference. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Sexual Dimorphism in Humanoids?

    I think I am going to be stealing this one for something I am working on for another setting I keep putting off producing. Basically a sort of Brigadoon-esque planar phasing effect that causes the individuals to be out-of-phase incorporeal entities that, once fed and gathered in a sufficient...

    Strange Real World Locales to Inspire You

    Personally the Ossuary has always been a favorite... but you might want to look into a few locations... Inspired the Methiran for me. Seeing the Mummies of Guanajuato made me come up with an ancient empire that preserved its dead in small household temples... But this room exists in their...
