    Have a one-page RPG?

    I have one I've made. Out of curiosity, why are you making videos about these game systems?

    Pathfinder 1E So what do you think is wrong with Pathfinder? Post your problems and we will fix it.

    You know, you probably do believe that, Imaro. So I'll say it's probably you're not lying when you say that, but I do think the entire point of trying to "prove" that martial powers are magic in 4e is sort of just sniping at another edition. The argument isn't made to really progress the...

    Pathfinder 1E So what do you think is wrong with Pathfinder? Post your problems and we will fix it.

    If he's willing to, then I wouldn't really call them allies. They look like other nearby residents. These people aren't necessarily his allies either, but he might not fight them out of fear, I agree. I think that's true. And I do think it's going on right now. I also think the entire "4e is...

    Pathfinder 1E So what do you think is wrong with Pathfinder? Post your problems and we will fix it.

    I'm pretty ignorant of PF feats, but they were an alright choice in 3.5. The thing is, I'm pointing out that you've put significant resources into this build (40% of your feats) and you're still at about 50/50. And that it only gets you a minor effect compared to what you think (a charmed...

    Pathfinder 1E So what do you think is wrong with Pathfinder? Post your problems and we will fix it.

    This is true, but only pretty useful outside of combat. If he even feels threatened, actually, he gets a +5 bonus on his save, cutting your chance of success down by 25% (to a 55% chance by your estimation). And, of course, any act by you or your apparent allies that threaten it break the spell...

    How many hit points do you have?

    It depends on how you like your fiction (I love Game of Thrones, for example, and I love gritty games), but I get where you're coming from. If you think having your Fighter's throat slit in the night is bad fiction, then 4e is actually pretty good at avoiding this. I personally don't think...

    How many hit points do you have?

    I'm having fun running a 4e campaign right now (I have an ongoing thread on it), but this doesn't look like it's the case for Fighters (as in Campbell's example). Actually, 104 HP looks pretty impossible for a Fighter (definitely possible for other characters, as you no doubt meant). I'm just...

    So my players are adventuring in a Bag of Holding...

    This is, like, the best idea ever. Awesome :) The social skills could help (convincing him to swap allegiances with Diplomacy, tricking him into thinking they're with the Vampire with Bluff, making him afraid of getting killed with Intimidate). They could sneak in (Stealth or Streetwise)...

    D&D 4E JamesonCourage's First 4e Session

    Thanks :) If you do, let me know what you do. They're tricky to run, I think. I've never used them before, really. Thanks. I try to make it connected, or more importantly coherent. I think that gets easier as time goes on (and there are more past in-play hooks for me to use), but having...

    D&D 4E JamesonCourage's First 4e Session

    Whew! After nobody replied to the last update, and then a delay for this update, I was starting to wonder. I'll keep updating if people like seeing it, which seems to be the case :) Thanks, I like working SCs into combat. I do think you have an interesting idea here. I'm getting the idea to...

    D&D 4E JamesonCourage's First 4e Session

    Yeah, hearing about how people use the system is interesting. I've heard a lot of different suggestions in this thread alone when people have kicked in advice, and it's always fun. Cool stuff! I do plan to use Dagon as an antagonist later on, and I've hinted he's around a few times so far (the...

    D&D 4E JamesonCourage's First 4e Session

    Thanks! I like to pepper those things in, as I often draw on them later. The bone fog coalescing into a menacing form will play a part later (if the game goes on long enough), as will the farmer being marked to live by The Raven Queen (upon giving an oath to serve her), etc. I'm not sure if...

    D&D 4E JamesonCourage's First 4e Session

    Alright, another session, this time lasting 6 hours. So, we pick up with the wizard's mansion being attacked by ghouls (2 standards and 10 minions, I think). This was an interesting fight in that it was over two stories (with a collapsed floor and a beam across for walking upstairs), and there...

    Costs of Being Treated (My Ambulance Ride Cost Over $2,800)

    /ragequit Nope, just blood pressure twice. Once right away, and once a few minutes later to make sure I was calming down (I was). That's why I mentioned that they only took my blood pressure. They weren't keeping track of my vitals. (They might've for the woman who ran into me, since she was...

    Costs of Being Treated (My Ambulance Ride Cost Over $2,800)

    Thanks for such a thorough reply. I appreciate it. All I got in the ambulance was my blood pressure taken (twice), and a few basic questions asked (that they also asked at the scene: my name, what hurt, etc.). That's what they said. "It could be something worse than what we can tell / how you...

    Costs of Being Treated (My Ambulance Ride Cost Over $2,800)

    Still, if they make three trips every two hours, that's over $4,000/hour. That seems like it's more than they need to cover those costs. Then again, I don't know how many trips they make each hour, how much supplies cost, etc. It should way more than cover their salary and benefits, though. I'm...

    Costs of Being Treated (My Ambulance Ride Cost Over $2,800)

    Central Valley in California. Like I said, I really have no idea, though. I was hoping someone else knew more. I get that, but I don't like it. If they think I'm hurt worse, then tell me that and make me take the ambulance. If they're just afraid of it, hitting me with a (totally unreasonable)...

    Costs of Being Treated (My Ambulance Ride Cost Over $2,800)

    That's what they told me, yep. The hospital had already been covered for the very brief check-up by a doctor / the single X-ray of my chest. They wanted over $2,800 more just for the ambulance ride. As far as I know, the transportation is through the local hospitals, so some degree, but I'm...

    Costs of Being Treated (My Ambulance Ride Cost Over $2,800)

    That's just crazy, man. I can't believe stuff like this is somehow accepted and/or flying under the radar.
