"Looks like you've been busy." Tana says to the newcomer. She hadn't run into Ghourra since they'd destroyed an undead-attracting artifact together a while ago. And while Tana had avoided life-threatening situations since then, it looked like the mul hadn't...

Tana's been sitting on the bench for about a year; I had her poke her head in the Tavern because the PBPs I'm in are stalled...

has dave_o been kidnapped by ninjas?

Hmm. I might be interested in an anime-themed game, but not a huge fan of BESM d20 (and don't have the books, though the Anime d20 SRD is still online) and don't know enough about the tri-stat version to have an opinion. One the other hand, I have Manga & Mecha for Mutants and Masterminds 2e...

You don't know. It didn't follow you in to the dining room (which is down a hall from the room where you talked shop with Lady Daybringer), but it's been at least a few minutes.

You cannot do this and have a mathematically balanced game. It. Is. Not. Possible. Handwaving 'flatter math' around is not going to change this.

An electronic version of the rules is important to me. PDF -- which is a print format and therefore not very well suited to electronic devices with vary widely in resolution (not to mention having problems with e-ink devices) -- is not.

You don't sense any other odd magical auras

And neither of those is very balanced. If +X items exist at any level commonality even remotely similar to prior editions of D&D, they have to be built into the math or it will break. Stat increases that may or may not happen are in the same category.

And exactly how are you supposed to do that without breaking the math? Only scaled and fixed are mathematically sound.

blaster mages (I don't care if they're mechanically wizards or sorcerers or warmages or some new class) should not be gimped relative to generalist wizards who focus on non-damaging spells; by the same token, if you're going to have old-school Vancian casting, then selecting fireball or...

Tana laughs. She's met more than her share of crotchety academics. "I see." She says.

And really, Bruce Wayne does not look unusual enough that anyone who sees him (at least, in a country where dark-haired white guys are not uncommon) is going to immediately think "hey, that's Bruce Wayne!".

"Well, the Library seems to insist that I write a proper dissertation if I want to be more than just a well-informed bodyguard. But I like being in the field too much." She said. Every time she was back in Korranberg, Dr. Erstan tried to convince Tana to stay at the Library's Soladas college of...

Reported.

Tana, gnome female swordmage 5 Tana has suficient XP from her first adventure last year to level up to 5, but I haven't leveled her up yet"Dr. Lochgilder? I didn't know you were in Sharn." She says, slightly concerned. Her work for the Library had led her to a few sites just ahead of the...

If 5e isn't something that I'll like -- and that's looking very likely right now (I'd prefer to play 4e or 3.x/Pathfinder over something like the playtest version of 5e) -- I'd still want it to be at least enough of a success that Hasbro will let WotC try to make a 6e that I might like (No WotC...

I checked prefer arcane casters/worried about balance. But just because I like blaster mages and gishes and artificers (the most effective variation of the 3.x wizard, the control specialist with a lot of utility spells on scrolls, isn't something I like playing) doesn't mean I dislike warriors...

Family's visiting for a couple days so I might not get back to anything that requires DM responses until Wednesday. Please don't let that discourage you from posting.

Knock has always worked at range, and is sufficiently low-level that even without 3.x-style wands, it's not difficult to always have it prepared or on a scroll by mid to high levels.
