Seventh Sanctum has a sword generator, i use it, frequently. The link is Here: Seventh Sanctum it's easy to adapt to any other weapon type: for example: This Mace has a oddly-formed Head with moons and arrows engraved on it. The butt is pyramid-shaped. This Staff has a shaft with a pattern...

Except, the GM dosn't metagame. He IS the metagame. Plenty of high-CR monsters have "power attack" as one of their feats listed in the monster manual (azer, Behir, Trumpet acheron, Astral Deva, Planetar, Solar, Delvers... the list goes on.) It's unfair to the monster, for them not to use their...

Oh yeah! that one! it's been, about four years since i read it?

Never struck me as wrong, struck me more of "This guy has a big sword, i have to do a lot of fine motions standing mostly still really quickly, I'd like to get away from him so i jump back a bit". and because of the D&D grid system, it equates to moving back 5 feet. Which translates in a...

I'm presuming this because Emirikol is presuming the opposite. that the higher level fighter WITHOUT magic items is stronger than the nearby lower level WITH magic. I'm providing an example to the contrary. As do I. Frankly, in nearly every game i've ever played, +2 items (weapons and...

my favorite Pratchet dwarfism is "It is the thing, and the whole of the thing". also: "He has seen the light." (A deep dwarven ethnic slur against common dwarves who have been outside of a mine.) "Where there is trouble, you will always find a troll."

Oh, a single extra level might seem more powerful than a single magic item, but please consider this. The difference in recommended treasure between 10th level and 11th level is 17,000 gp. for 17,000 gp a player could purchase: -A single +4 armor, and have close to a thousand gp left over...

Thing is, it varies heavily from class to class, build to build, and encounter to encounter. Your average CR 10 encounter is six CR 5 trolls. Not that tough, right? except they regain 15 hit points / combat round. Now, the level 20 fighter gets 4 attacks / round. +20 / +15 / +10 / +5. they...

Hand the player 4d6, express condolences that their wizard drew the first critical hit in the game, and failed to stabilize at -9. (Had it happen.) Hand the player 4d6, look at the other players and say "Well, you've lots an ally in the middle of nowhere, what will you do now?" nod...

Actually, Terry Pratchett included it in his book Discworld (Which was the sci-fi novel he penned before writing the Discworld series of fantasy books.) The Sampo was effectively a Fabricator. Input the right information: feed in enough raw materials, and you get anything out... and i mean...

Actually, I've seen all four of the classes from the PHBII in play, and they actually are pretty perfectly balanced. THe powergamer wanted to play a Dragon Shaman. He quickly learned that it has no particular advantages over any other class. I played a Knight. I enjoyed it immensely, but was...

Put the barbarian against a Knight of equal level. Knight has better AC (Between the fullplate and the shield AC bonus that knights get) identical hit dice. Better will save. and the knight's challenges' give him the bonus to hit and damage without the loss of AC that a barbarian takes when...

The Newest strip And he definitively said "The elf"

Reminds me a bit of the powers of an "Accordian Thief" in Kingdom of Loathing. The class has the most powerful buffing ability in the game (all of the skills it possesses are buff skills that increase the core stats, damage, money, item, and experience gain.) But it can only have three of...

Dude! sweet! all the Dragonstar books! I've been lookign for the guide to the galaxy!

Also, if you are still interested: Watch the Mythbuster's hollywood special, wherein they Sunder several weapons-grade swords. using katanas. My favorite was when the rapier bent all the way back around, and returned to it's original shape... only to snap at the last... possible... moment!

Do your players a favor: introduce them to Swashbuckling Cards I started out with the base set of 110, now it's somewhere around 200. I have some players who come to me at the start of every session with a new Swashbuckling card sheet. I read over them, decide if they are balanced, and either...

Based on the Final Fantasy world? I'm both intrigued and distressed. I don't think it'll take off though.

It's also the Psionics approach to fireballs. X is the number of power points you invest. for each power point beyond the initial cost you do an extra D6 with a cap equal to your current level. when they manifest an energy sphere, they choose if it does Fire, cold, electricity, sonic, or acid...
