    21+? Must be harsh living in america, waiting 3 more years before being able to legally destroy your liver.

    DM Burnout - Any Remedies?

    Other remedies: Larping (hiting people with swords always cheers me up) Alcohol (for the age 18+ GM) - though this is included in larping I usually find, booze and swords, what a wonderful combination. Sleep Watching TV, after seeing what rubbish is on the idiot box these days reminds me why I...

    DM Burnout - Any Remedies?

    There really is no point pushing it. When I find I'm on the verge of burnout I start to get appathetic about games, the game suffers and no one has fun (well, I don't and that's all that matters to me). Sometimes it is the system or campaign which is the problem, which can be remedied by...

    Opinions wanted on some Wizard tweaks

    Have you considered using the spell recharge rules in unearthed arcana? They seem to be similar in style (but not mechanics) to what you are trying to do (though I've never tried them I should add). Rather than having spell slots each spell has a recharge time, the higher the level mage...

    An Attack of Opportunity is worth...?

    Correct me if I'm being dumb (it happens sometime) but doesn't imp feint do that anyway? Strictly speaking it turns feint into a move equivilent then attack as a standard. Feinting doesn't provoke with or without the feat.

    What's wrong with Mini-Centric?

    I haven't used minis for years, they do help people envisage where they are in relation to everyone/thing else but the catch is the ease of transport and space. When going to the game I don't have enough room in my bag for all the books I'd like to use, taking a long a ton of lead, tape measure...

    Adjusted armor

    Mail slow you down? You might be supprised but it doesn't. I have a steel mail hauberk that weights a third of my body weight and comes down to below my knees and elbows (and I'm 6ft tall) which I bought for LARP. While I tired faster while wearing it it made very little difference to my...

    Playing an Evil Character (An Incubus) - I Need Some Help

    As a "social" demon you don't have to play a bloodthirsty nutter. It's much easier to corupt, cheat or betray people who like you. You can play nice as part of your long term strategy. Just remember your outlook and methodology is somewhat different from a good PC. You want information from a...

    dark vision

    How about a downside? Such as only works when it is dark ;) On a more serious note I play a lot of Iron Kingdoms and they have a nice approach I like, for those that aren't familiar with the system the magic is battery powered (a gross over simplification but it'll do). It has a few charges...

    Skill points acquiring

    I think you are failing to take a few things into account with your critizism. If this is using 4d4 +2 that is a very tight bell curve so stats are unlikly to be that high. No matter where you put your stats with a take the average round down you are going to have only 1-2 points to split...
