I'm having an NPC return to the game that has been off-stage since 2E. At that time, he was designed as a Fighter/Mentalist using the Spells & Magic rules for Specialist Wizards. Bringing him back under d20, I'm looking to vamp-up the rules regarding Enchantment and mind-based effects. To...

You're not alone... If someone marked down the time of my posts, they'd see a bunch of "dead zones" that correspond to programming schedule for NBC, TNT and USA. Except Criminal Intent. I don't like that show... Too much focus on just one cop; lost my interest early.

Well, I did some filesharing back in the late 90's (I learned of it because it was becoming an issue, then I stopped doing it because the issue was too convoluted). I will say that during that short bit, I learned of nearly 2 dozen bands that I had never heard of; I learned of them mostly...

Ah, another Maggie and the Ferocious Beast fan, eh?

For my Oathbound PC (NE Human Male high-level Fighter that merges the BoVD and BoEF into a perfect union), theme songs would include Bad to the Bone (George T), Cocaine (Eric C), Echoes in the Well (Corrosion of Comformity), Don't Break the Oath (Merciful Fate), The Trooper (Iron Maiden), Damage...

Actually, you had me going, too. As for "practice"... I think about the closest you can get to practice would be (a) thinking about the next game or (b) one-nighters to playtest new options/rules. Otherwise, experience is the best teacher.

I'd say it sounds mostly like bad rolls, although the monk moving ahead while everyone else stayed behind was likely a mistake, cutting the party 60/40.

Damn, I missed that thread... Someone with search-fu care to post a link?

Versatile (Rokugan, AEG) or Cross-Class Learning (Netbook of Feats, FanCC, although I renamed it "Aptitude" to reduce clunkiness) would allow this as well.

I've got two answers for you... In my group, the book isn't touched (for me as the GM, it's the Aedon Bestiary; for me as a player in Oathbound, it's the Monster Manual, Monster Manual II, Minions, and Monsternomicon). If you have something (pet, familiar, companion) or you can summon, the...

Beautiful, dude... Simply beautiful.

That would be what I do. P.S.: Love the new avatar. Much better than the last one.

Get out of my campaign notes.;) Agreed.

Sums up my view nicely.

For me, it's all about the game; the rules should only be in a supporting role. To this end, I generally come up with a few basic premises (atmosphere of the world, the origins and influence of magic, etc.) and then apply the rules that fit it, alter the rules that conflict with it, and add...

The game isn't the problem; It's the GM. And, assuming you post is an accurate description of events, I'd have been looking for a new GM some time ago.

No, I find they're about the same for me. That is, I don't run a game where things are clearly black/white on the morality scale; the PCs are surrounded by grays, and who the bad-guys are isn't always clear or obvious. Indeed, sometimes the villains are "good" (i.e., the extremely Lawful...

I use a combination of considerations. For instance, is the character simply getting better at something they've already been doing? If so, than there usually isn't any training or delay involved. If, however, the character is gaining something previously unavailable (a Fighter 3 becoming a...

Yes.

Because I've already got two copies of it (CoC and UA) should I ever have the need.
