I was recently playing a flash-based rpg, and noticed that once again I have a marked preference for a particular combination of mechanical abilities: - high hit points - good defenses - strong attacks, ideally melee - healing (for self and allies) - buffing (for self and allies) ...and yet...

Healing surges are reserve hit points. They just come in discrete packages and can sometimes be triggered during combat. -blarg

Color spray. Just mistype something in google with safesearch off. You'll be blinded and stunned in no time flat. Don't forget your brain bleach. Enlarge person. Ever seen Supersize Me? Casting time: a moment on the lips. Duration: permanent.

Awesome.

Aaahhhh, the classics. (Warning: slightly salty language.)

That was a hell of a fun campaign to play in! Thanks for seeing it through to the end, Wik. It really does feel nice to have concluded the story. :) -blarg

Death spirals.

The Order of the Stick board game uses only d12s. They no longer cry themselves to sleep at night. -blarg

I think the reason there's no one dominant post-apoc game is pretty simple: each setting is mainly defined by the nature of the world and how it was changed by the apocalypse. Post-nuke real earth is vastly different than post-zombiepalooza Dragonlance.

You don't even have to be a monk to take Stunning Fist - it's certainly possible that Thog's got that one.

Nondetection or (depending on your table's interpretation) mind blank could block see invisible, especially if the divination has a low caster level.

To my surprise, the players in my 3.5 Eberron campaign just accidentally activated (and attracted the attention of) a Dhakaani grieving tree. It's the same kind of artifact found in Don Bassingthwaite's eponymous novel. ...but I have no stats for it. Help, please? -blarg

It happens with greatest frequency when the monster's hit points are a multiple of the party's average damage -1. (ie. if the monster has 30 hp and the party does 29 damage on average, then landing at 1 hp will be the most common occurence.)
