I think I might be interested in playing. If we were starting out in the relatively low levels (1-4ish), I'd be interested in playing a Soldier...basically a veteran of the various wars who didn't ever do much real fighting, and ended up having to work as a...

Now, translated into english for your convenience: "The elf scum; the" But seriously...elves are a great concept, but it's been done poorly so many times that I've gotten sick of them. I would have voted for dwarves for the same reasons, but they've actually been portrayed fairly well...

A human, from the ubiquitous 'northern' area of any setting where the big, burly, fair-skinned guys come from. You see, I'm about 6'6" tall (198cm for you people who use a sensical measurement system), and around 300 pounds (~137kg), and I have especially big shoulders muscles and long legs...

If he is, it's not funny...because he's hitting too close to the mark, as far as I'm concerned.

So, I was thinking about massive damage, and some ways to, well, tinker with it, and what the modifications would do... First of all, how about we divide up the concept into three parts... The Cause (the comdition(s) that prompts the save) The Resolution (the save agaist the effect) The Effect...

Well, I don't really have a trademark character per se, but I do have a trademark personality/general concept... In fantasy, he's the veteran warrior, or the rough and ready woodsman, or the knight-errant. In star wars, he's the cool-headed Jedi Guardian, or the experienced Soldier. In 'real...

Here's my 'emergency hierarchy' following my 'main' campaign, which uses Grim Tales... 1. D&D 2. D20 Modern 3. Star Wars D20 4. CODA Lord of the Rings 5. 'What would beat a fish?'* *(Not an RPG, but more of a word game) I only rank D&D higher than Star Wars and Modern because it's easier to...

I think that sounds like an impossible undertaking. It's quite possible that there are more PrCs than atoms in the observable universe...roughly. I only hope I'm wrong, for your sake.

I think it's a matter of personal taste...and not on a scale of good to bad. I don't care about 'realism' or 'believability' in a setting where there are dragons, elves, and gods that regularly speak with mortals: what I want is 'engagingness'. I just can't get interested in a group of...

Jorran offered a piece of advice. "Unless I'm mistaken, this is just to see how you are with a saber. If you rely on tricks with the force when you spar, your saber technique will suffer, and you'll be much more likely to be killed in a real fight if, for whatever reason, you can't use your...

Woo, '87! Oh, wait a minute, that makes me the youngest to have voted...guess I'm getting snacks. Ok, who wants their ramen dry, and who wants theirs in lukewarm water? Oh, and who wants all the flavor packets?

GM's Perspective Because, while the players and/or PCs should get to choose what they do and where they go in the game, there's no good reason the GM shouldn't get to set the stage however they want it. It's one thing to force them (the PCs) to go a certain way, whether subtly or not, but it's...

Feeling his saber fly from his belt, Jorran let out a surprised "Hey!" and pulled back on it with the force.

This one, which I particularly like (but haven't actually played) is by Hong, who (as far as I know) is still a regular on these boards.

One thing that I experimented with was the following... Weapons' critical modifiers are reduced by one and the damage goes straight to WPs. So, a greatsword does 2d6+strength*1.5 damage to wounds on a 19-20. A greataxe does (1d12+strength*1.5)*2 damage to wounds on a 20. A heavy pick does...

(Assuming he's regained conciousness) Jorran reached up and took Kal's hand, making it back to his feet. "Almost had you," he laughed. "You're twice as good as I was at your age." He reached down and grabbed his saber hilt and strapped it back onto his belt.

I like my orcs greyish-black, harsh-featured, and slightly bigger than humans, with a penchant for trickery, betrayal, and wanton destruction, and no talent for scholarly pursuits. Yep, just like LOTR. I've never been able to take pig-faced green orcs seriously...they're just too cartoonish...

After reeling backwards and barely parrying Kal's second blow, Jorran immediately went on the offensive again. (OOC: two-handed attack, followed by Heroic Surge and another two-handed attack assuming he doesn't both hit and drop Kal with the first attack)

That's just mean! I think I'll try that.

Ok, so now am I stunned (and therefore dropped my saber, and can't really do anything), or am I just 'Fatigued' like you always are when you take wound damage?
