    The Grues are back!

    something is grue just in case it is green before the year 2100 and blue afterwards. Counterwise, something is bleen just in case it is blue before the year 2100 and green afterwards.

    Gestalt Character + ECL race?

    Makes sense, I suppose. If it only takes up one, then you can still have a full-leveled spellcaster, which might be to powerful. And if it takes up as much as it is supposed to, then its very underpowered. I think i might say it only takes up one class. That's a lot easier for me than to...

    Is enlightened self-interest Good?

    Uh ho, Hitler! Well well, Hitler's been mentioned. Which means my interested has ceased to exist. Uh Oh. Anyway, once the extremes get mentioned, things get crazy. An ethical system does not well handle the extremes, like I said earlier. So I think, anyway. Eolin.

    Gestalt Character + ECL race?

    Hiya everybody. I've got an NPC I want to make for a game. The character is very likely to be a gestalt character, and he also has a template (namely, vampire). Question is: Does the vampire template take both classes for all those levels, or only one?

    Is enlightened self-interest Good?

    Yeee! I got asked a question of. Sorry for the 8 hour-delay, I've been at work. I got asked (hehe): Regardless of D&D, would you consider a murderer who by random chance never killed anyone but bad people (drug dealers, rapists, etc.) good? I'd say that his actions have good consequences...

    magical power -- body/mind/soul?

    I don't really dig psionics in my DnD, though it makes sense. I went with: Body - Monk. Mind - Druid Soul - sorcerer Given the game and the dead god whose power they've taken, it makes sense. I was talked into running it before I was ready, but it ended up alright. The PCs have evacuated...

    Is enlightened self-interest Good?

    Of course its good. But that greatly depends upon your philosphical perspective of what it is to be ethical. And being a good consequentialist, I'd say it is good because the consequences of her actions are good. We want to maximize happiness (read: good) and minimize pain (read: bad). Doing...

    Gestalt in non Gestalt world

    In my current game, which I was talked into running before I was ready, the PCs are gestalt characters because very recently, a god has been murdered. Those that murdered the god have tryed to take his power for themselves, but some of the power escaped. So in some places in the world, some...

    magical power -- body/mind/soul?

    I'm pretty sure House Rules is the right forum for this. If not, I'm sure somebody will let me know. I've got two issues that some feedback would be great on. First, in a game I'm considering running in the near-future, the characters will be gestalt characters. The basic gist is that a divine...

    What are D&D's Iconic Locales?

    clearly, the tavern. Everybody's met in the tavern a few times.

    Unearthed Arcana, what do you think?

    Not to hijack too much, but what do you all think of the gestalt characters? (Sure, I'm sure this was talked about recently.) I especially dig such combinations as the Pal/Sor -- the combining of so much onto the cha stat just seems really neat to me. Or, of course, the cleric/Pal. But I...

    Dungeon Master = Yoda ?

    and the skin color and the ears! A blatant ripoff. Why, even the camera angle is about the same.

    Sorcerer Fix the opposite

    maybe my understanding of copyright is flawed, but I'm pretty sure that anything *you* write is *yours* unless you decide otherwise. Just because someone else wrote down a contract about some stuff they made (aka, the ogl), doesn't in any way change the fact that what you make is a creation of...

    For DMs, define "winging it" and give examples

    How about this? Super Bowl Sunday. Which means there isn't anything on TV. The guys want to play some DnD. Being the good sort that I am, I agree to DM. I have them make first-level characters. I've got a character who I hardly ever get to play designed for a campaign that never got off the...

    Fixing Cleave

    Why was the main bad guy within 5-feet of his minions? Keep him a few hexes (yes, hexes) back, and he can't be cleaved.

    Sorcerer Utility.

    That's very true. I am Definetly not planning to be a melee combatant. If I'm ever on the front lines, I'll be trying to get off and trying not to get killed. And yeah, level isn't important as I'm bored and planning it out. So the clericy spells allow me to protect the party and heal them...

    Sorcerer Utility.

    Hiya everybody. Whenever I need DnD help, you guys supply it. I've got a DnD game that will be coming up soon. Its going to be a gestalt game, and I am likely to play a cleric/sorcerer. and likely get a raven familiar -- what with the flying and the talking, they're the best. So, the question...

    Point Buy

    Hi. I know this has been asked recently, but i can't find the thread. And i checked back five pages. Here's the question: What's a normal point buy? iirc, the dmg suggests 25 points, but i want to know what people actually use. Thanks.
