Isn't $5,000 a LOT of money for third party publishers?

The mutants just happened to be waiting there, during the day time with attack dogs, when they don't/can't travel in daylight? They set the trap. There is clearly a gleam of comprehension in alpha mutants eye when his gal is stolen away by the hero.

1st ed introduced the barbarian as a Class in the book Unearthed Arcana.

I've played plenty of science fiction games where shield regenrated or reset to full if they dont' get kocked down in a round and power systems allowed effectively unlimited use of weapons if one marshalled resources correctly. Halo and computer games hardly have a lock on that concept.

The NPC is a goner, accept that. He will not survive if he isn't powerful enough to wipe out the party in 2 or 3 rounds. With that in mind worry abut the RP asspects mostly and not too much about the mechanics.

I must have been playing the game wrong I recall plenty of heroic knights performing amazing martial attacks and wizards flying about zapping each other in aerial battles for dominance. As for tieflings and dragonborn being anything new...they aren't. Draconians anyone or halfdragons ? Monte...

modern D&D really needs a basic or Lite rulebook that is as good as the old days basic/expert booklets.

1st Generation: D&D and a handful of other unique systems. (D&D, traveller) 2nd generation: D&D reaction systems and refinements of 1st generation systems. (Runequest, Rolemaster) 3rd generation systesm: versatile rule system (GURPS, D20 system) 4th generation: play style/setting over...

That Paladin/Devil example can't happen in a D&D world that pays attention to the RAW: "Paladins may adventure with characters of any good or neutral alignment, a paladin will never knowingly associate with evil characters, nor will she continue an association with someone who consistently...

Why do people have difficulty grasping it was the mutants/dark-seekers who set the trap? It was pretty darned obvious to me, the head baddie was standing in the darkenss holding the leashes of 3 dark-dogs and released them when he could. He saw what robert had done in capturing the female...

I'm not talking basic sets here i'm talking original D&D. page 9 of my men&magic book has a chart showign which speices are grouped unde reach alignment, no discussion about good or evil is made. from the greyhawk supplement- Chaotic Alignment by a player generally betokens chaotic action on...

People do it all the time in the real world, that is they justify the unjustifiable. Discussing this will quickly lead to politics and other areas off limits here at enworld.

a DC of 30 is hardly impossible by 5th level. But yes a generally good idea.

"However D&D takes two incompatible systems, the traditional fantasy trope of good vs. evil and adds Moorcock's order vs. entropy axis on top of it." actually D&D took the law and chaos axis and added good and evil on top of it.

Really? Are you aware the alignment system in D&D started out Lawful-neutral-chaotic and the good/evil axis was added later?

i know of about a dozen kids under 18 playing D&D near me. 2 are even regulars in my weekly game.

Clerics are fun because I have get to heal, arepretty effective in combat, totally kick undead-butt, have a good AC and great access to a ton of spells. Rogues are fun because they sneak attack and have a ton of skill points so they can stay involoved in alot of the game and remain important...

Real-life and Semi Real-life: I've been fighting and fake fighting for years. I know a younger lady who is amazingly good with paired chinese broadswords when she saw me fighting sword and shield she said "I wouldn't have a chance against you in a fair fight". I figure we'd manage to kill each...

The character would likely know the names of thier abilities, at least the combat related ones. Real-life martial artists, fencers and wrestlers know the names of every move they make (or are able to learn the names of evry move they make). Sure they don't scream snaek attack but they should...

My co-workers who deal with me on a regular basis know i play D&D or D&D like games and I play them with my kids and family members. Of course I don't show up at the office in my LARP garb. The only thing that is annoying about that is if something odd gets left on the copy machine people...
