Hypersmurf … It seems as though you do this very same thing with the rules when you try to find loopholes. Take statements out of context, ignoring the meaning given to them by the conditions surrounding them. When I “missed” your meaning, it was simply because its true form simply wasn’t...

This has been an interesting thread to follow, and as usual, I have found good points to both sides of this argument. The original problem was the feat seemed to limited or not useful enough. Most would agree, though it sometimes did see use, but again, at lower levels, even a monk had a hard...

Hypersmurf: “You removed the bolding, y'see, which did change the meaning of the sentence to an extent. There's a difference between evil, and EVIL. Devils. Demons. Most intelligent undead. Chromatic dragons. In their stat block in the Monster Manual, they are "Always Evil". Irredeemable. EVIL...

Shark: “What is the point in telling the truth? It seems it should always be to do good. If it doesn't do good--in certain circumstances--then telling the truth isn't good, and it isn't good to tell the truth. Lying, in some circumstances, is more good, or a higher good, if you will.” Shark, I...

Kevmann10583: “niteshade6, the reason that the "because it has always been like that" argument is a bad one is because one should look at ideas with a fresh mind. It is kind of like the ranger two weapon fighting thing. There is no reason for a ranger to have two weapon fighting, nothing in a...

While I can say I understand where this opinion stems from, I must disagree. While the alignment of a dragon "type" holds true for most of that color/alloy, also remember that exceptions are possible. Does anyone remember that all Drow are "evil". (Drizzt, who?) Aside from that, Dragons are...

If I were to spend money, I would pay all that I could (selling possessions, loands, etc.), and I would purchase any of the items I could then afford. However, if one were to be given for free, I would most prefer the belt of flying (with the ring a close 2nd, for uses already stated, and the...

I am also curious to know what changes are being made to Horrid Wilting, and to Disintegrate as well. I disliked the change to Haste at first, but seeing some of the strings, and rethinking, it is not a bad idea, and one I will be able to live with (as one who loves arcane casters), Unlike the...

It is important to understand how and why the CR system is set up as it is before we start to alter it. I do see why it could make sense that a CR 9 encounter should be all that the party can deal with, but that is simply not how the system operates. The same CR 9 would take a single 9th level...

The question, I believe, would need further specified to have a good or desired answer. We can clearly see that there are instances in which one can be better than the other. There total value would also vary according to certain variables, such as: What is the HP total of that character? Can...

Perhaps you could clarify above... It seems that your are saying you do not want to draw on religions' practices, but it seems as though the parenthetical insert is making an example of one (a religion), though I do not see the relevance if it is doing so. I do not mean to be insulting in any...

fides quaerens intellectum "Faith seeking understanding"; credo ut intelligam: "I believe in order that I may understand." Many philosophers and I would disagree with your statement Ranger REG. Faith does begin where logic must end. Some things can not be known, and for that, faith exists...

Lalato, I don't really see a problem with a chaotic character taking an oath. Following one guidline doesn't really imply they seek to uphold the tenants of order. However, the oath you described looks like it would belong to something like a "Holy Liberator." Paladin has always (seemingly)...

::chuckles:: Nietzsche huh? I am thinking a dragon would have such mental ability and years of experience and pondering to think through such philosophy without "help" from the works of a philosopher who failed utterly at his life's goal therein... :) (despite his many intelligent, if fallible...

Yes, I am also hoping that there will be worth while changes to the spell list. Of the D&D campaigns I have played in so far, I have had the chance to play a Paladin once. I really like their abilities, and I must say that the character I played was extremely effective against evil, so I can't...

Thank you kindly for the welcome FireLance. ::bows:: Yes, I must apologize for the lengthy post, as it may have been too in depth and wordy (but I hope you enjoy it :) ) To proceed any further here we must agree on some terms and definitions, so we may also establish some premises. Then we...

lawful what? In response to FireLance's: "In my view, a Lawful character would respect the law of the land, and would follow it in so far as it does not clash with the laws of his society. It is not enough to have a personal code of honour, it must be one that is accepted by society. I use the...
