My point of view pretty much IS my characters point of view with some slight differences. However, it was clear from context that I was discussing ethics in D&D, not in real life. I wouldn't argue real life ethics almost ever. No one can agree on ethics so it's pointless to debate it. I wish I...

Well, I was talking in character during almost the entire conversation. When I said my opinion on killing off world leaders, I was speaking from the point of view of my CG aligned D&D character. But the entire time I was saying "I would certainly kill the leader of a city to make the world a...

I know what I have to do. But it's not that easy. I honestly feel like someone I know and care about is dying every time I consider leaving the group. It feels like all I have to do is put up with this small inconvenience(in the grand scheme of things) and my friend doesn't die. There are so...

Problem is, his character is Neutral(or maybe even good, I can't remember) and mine is good. He was angry at me because he felt that the author of the adventure was an idiot because he set up a scenario that NO one would agree with. Who would agree with depose the rightful ruler of a country...

I agree, This is the crux of the issue. And I AM having fun. He is such a small part of our table and his characters are so bland as to be virtually non-existent. They rarely say anything or have any opinion. Most sessions I barely notice he's there. My roommate, his girlfriend, our DM...

I certainly don't think I did anything anywhere near his level of immaturity. That's exactly the point. I'm trying to find a way to resolve this by talking like rational people, to find a solution that will make everyone happy. But I take a huge offense when someone screams at me like that...

Sorry. I'm not seeing where I've done anything I need to apologize for. I ran a game for him and his plan didn't work. So he stormed off and left his girlfriend and his other friend stranded and ruined the game for everyone. Then I was having a simple discussion on the rationale that my...

I don't know that the drow have much suspense or mystery. Everyone who's read a R.A. Salvatore novel knows everything there is to know about the Drow: They mostly all live in one big city which is divided into Houses that are ranked according to influence, they all worship the goddess Lolth...

Also, the storyline for the current season of D&D Expeditions is tied into Rage of Demons as well. Those adventures dealing with the area in and around Hilsfar and the effect the disease known as the "Rage of Demons" is having on the area.

I hoped I wouldn't necro this thread again. But since there were so many people here who showed an interest in my problems, I felt obligated to update you all on the situation. Since some people in this thread felt I didn't have the right to complain about this issue if it happened again due...

Oh, I just remembered a horrible example from a recent show. The BBC series Atlantis. The main character Jason comes from modern day Earth in the first episode. He travels back in time to Atlantis. But about 10 minutes into the series he's suddenly an expert in all things Greek and Atlantis...

There have been a couple. But it's telling that most of your examples barely broke even at the box office or lost money. Don't get me wrong, we as geeks love those movies and they are considered cult classics. But very few of them were blockbusters or performed the way the studios hoped...

Here's the problem. The rules are written in English. When someone says "that guy attacked me with a ranged weapon" and you weren't playing D&D, you'd think that would include anything at all that could be thrown, launched or shot at you. So, when you read a book that says "when you attack...

Let me be more clear then. I use "Full Cover" as shorthand for anything that blocks people from seeing you. If a barrel is big enough and you can somehow completely crouch behind it without your feet, arms or any other part of your body sticking out at all, then you are officially "unseen" and...

Sometimes it can be fun to play with convention. I didn't watch the Smurf movies because they kind of looked silly. One of the things that looked silly was the fact that they insisted on bringing the smurfs to a modern world when there was no good reason for it, I admit. Although it can be...

As a side note, I really do think that it should be possible to determine if an enemy has successfully spotted you or heard you or not as long as you can see them. If you are sneaking down a corridor, it's possible that enemies in every room could have heard you. This is a great time to build...

Yeah, it's a pet peeve of mine. It appears to be impossible to have a fantasy movie WITHOUT framing it in terms of "The main character is from modern day earth and is brought into this world." Apparently audiences won't accept fantasy movies unless they have something to relate to. Almost...

As a side note, the reason the Stealth rules are so confusing is that they copied and pasted the 4e Stealth rules exactly during the playtest. They worked well and there was no real reason to change them so they just used them precisely as written. However, the 4e Stealth rules are very...

The way this works in the RAW is that in order to hide you must have Full Cover. Which means you need to be completely out of sight. You need to be behind a wall or an obstacle large enough that it completely covers you(except in certain circumstances like one of the Halfling subraces who can...

Yeah, it is my GUESS that the entire storyline involves all of the Demon Lords. The adventure concentrates on Zuggtmoy and Demogorgon. Sword Coast Legends deals with one of the other Demon Lords and the novels deal with Drizz't and his campaign against yet another of the Demon Lords(or, more...
