I misread your post. When I thought it said Umbran dictionary I lost it.

For me metagaming was making narrative decisions based on player knowledge and based upon information observed by other characters. In other words Lidda is away from the party scouting & stumbles upon a band of monsters. They discover her and attack to subdue. When other PLAYERS hear this they...

Eladrin 14-2=12 High Elf 22 Wood Elf 40+1=41

I wish we did. It just doesn't grab my players attention or imagination. I don't favor the skill challenge idea. Maybe I am misunderstanding.

I got a little chocked up and teary eyed once. I will keep this brief-ish. A homebrew world. I added things I hated to add verisimilitude. The real world has stuff I don't like so why shouldn't my fantasy. I hated gnomes so I added gnomes. Someone, maybe me, named a recurring npc gnome Flavix...

He is venerable, that is true, but most elves are older.

I really like these. At once familiar and new.

Cars are fast. On foot, lost is something I can't find. Try dead reckoning.

All of this is a natural extention of the arms race in D&D. For PC's it is about more power and a byproduct is more survivability. For DM's it is about story and challenge. Player 1: I need more HP, Bigger bonuses, inexhaustable spell load, and alpha strike circumstances need to be more...

There is also the issue of experience. If one player is 12 and another is 20 or more while still being the same class or species all while having high to elite MENTAL stats the older chracater should have the option of starting at a higher level. Hermione and Harry an whatnot were apprentice...

No. They don't want to play a child. They want to be taken seriously like an adult adventurer but they also want permission to behave like a spoiled brat. Sound about right? It's what my character would do. That way madness lies.

I doubt it. I kind of froze the lore in the 1990's. I would like it if players refrained from assuming that any printed lore was the law.

Love items that do or allow doing. (Neclace of adaptation) Hate items that enhance or grant extra uses. (+ nything, or wands and such) There is some overlap though.

I agree with Hussar. The rats are what cought my eye.

At first I thought this was a joke. MToF is killing entire parties of adventurers.

Phantom steed, note that it does not say phantom team. It will carry a rider not two riders. It is not a pack animal.

The known world I am running was conquered by a human warlord twenty years ago. There are no half races, it is just a biological impossibility. All races except dwarves have been spread out, intermingled and relocated to prevent any homogeneous populations. Elves are being hunted but are mostly...
