Hello All, One of my friends just moved back into town. He hasn’t really played in a pen-and-paper roll playing game since second edition, though he played 3rd edition once at a con. The short of it is I have to win him over to 3rd edition, as he wants to play a 2nd edition game. He is very...

I did something along these lines for my 3rd Edition Birthright Campaign that I run. I created a class for Awnsheghlien. It works fairly well, though It isn't balanced with the normal classes as the PC's probally will never use it. It would be very usefull if WoTC used such a mechanic...

*Is Blown Away By This* There is still a bank in the US that does not offer debit cards with the visa/mastercard logo? Wow.

Unless they are exceptional individuals who are well know by society (and thus valuable assets), I would just have them handed off to a very minor member of the guild as his enforcers/lackeys. This will keep them away from any business involving senior members of the guild until they have...

If it is a charmed person under his control, then he shouldn't. Gaining initiative or flanking in combat is different. In this case, the character (at least from what has been detailed) was under no immediate or certain threat from the individual. The killing appears to have been committed...

I believe the act itself is evil. The one act does not make your character evil though. Alignment should represent consistent action in most cases. In my opinion of the rules, alignment should not limit the actions of the characters, but should shift with the pattern of their actions...

In most worlds, clerics are centered in temples; the larger the temple the more clerics. Most large temples exist in large population centers. This means it is likely (unless temples were protected by there gods) that the vast majority of clerics and priests were killed in the cataclysm...

So what exactly happened? Did fire rain down from the heaven? Did the ground rip itself apart? Was there a great storm? All of the above? As to the effects... The 1st thing you have to address in the short term is shock. Most people on the planet will grieve. Those who are...

1st Level Character? And are you looking for something that would aid you primarily in combat situations?

Not I. Normally I start PCs at 2nd or 3rd level.

After reading the post a couple of times, I think it is has the right amount of challenge. I don’t believe any of the bad guys require magical weapons to hit, so the lack of good equipment shouldn't be a problem. One thing to note, you mention that the party shouldn't have a problem with...

Sounds like a very cool one shot. I like the idea with using the clock to determine when the Volcano explodes, should get the players into the intended pace of the adventure. One question before I comment on the difficulty, what level are the PCs? -Josh

If I remember right, there are already companies interested in landing small probes on some asteroids to "claim" for ownership so when this eventually does come to pass they can mine them. Most or your asteroids are very large, and composed of a primary material (in some cases gold, iron or...

AEG has a feat called Tyrant (I Think?) that works as an evil overlords Leadership. You could always use this mechanic, though I personally believe it is unnecessary for NPCs and was created for Evil PCs. -Josh

Very, Obviously. I found the following part of the web page is rather funny, and telling of its members: http://www.lptrixie.com/lifestyles/jetta.asp and from http://www.lptrixie.com/lifestyles/jetta.asp?id=63 Its like they are stuck up girls in high school...

I don't think you NEED any rules to handle a slow death. Just keep him conscious until you don't need him to be anymore. This is what I have always done in the past in such situations. My players have never had a problem with it. And if you are not allowing raise dead and other...

We just finished with this adventure about a month ago. It took us two months (8 sessions) to complete. Your right, the Illithid should have know that the horde of demons would draw attention. But, the fact is... he did know this. He summoned a demon, if I remember correctly, to serve...

I thought this was very interesting. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=556 If only my computer said things like that in response to my actions... of course it would probally drive me insane after a while. - Josh

Are there people who ruin there lives playing everquest? I would say YES (having met and heard of many people who play almost to the exclusion of everything else). But I am rather certain that these people would find a way to ruin there lives with something else if they didn't play...

A bit wordy, but otherwise I good explanation. I would just say the following: It is like Acting without a predetermined outcome. It has a structured method for action resolution. It is fun because I get to develop a story with friends.... and roll dice. It has the emotional satisfaction of...
