A grimdark gritty realistic adventure. The first three choices combined is how my games are.

You could give the character ED until death or redemption.

Mostly just say the character is off doing a downtime activity. However, there is the one character that routinely gets a pitchfork wedding for getting the innkeeper's daughter pregnant.

The opposite of a modron is really simple. It is alphabet soup, the soup with tasty pasta letters swirling around in a hot broth, especially on this cold winter day. :D

In my game I had a "drow" npc who lived on the surface due to having failed in her attempt at assassinating her mother. Fleeing a family squabble is better than being dead.

Work in progress for online.

The only "feats" that we use are those we have house ruled for ourselves. What we use is more akin to Shadowrun edges and flaws.

I house rule that reincarnation in giving a new body also alters all physical and mental attributes which are rolled in order randomly. This has the potential of rendering a wizard unable to use magic. The deities of the world do not take kindly to someone killing themselves (destroying the...

Stereotypes for lack of better word, that you cannot be in real life. Elves are graceful would be natural ballet dancers. Dwarfs are tough and can take being beaten while dishing punishment in return.

We had a better game when we dropped having the talents tied to classes. RAW only scouts could have the starship stealth talent. This made no sense. Surely a soldier who is a fighter pilot or a scoundrel who is a smuggler could have the same thing.

Yes all is at 1st level. It is part of chargen. To summarize my game, your character is the sum of your backgrounds. You start at age 5, choose backgrounds which have a variable aging until your character is between age 15-25. Sometimes you might be older than 25 depending on choices. For...

My players can divide their attacks between opponents. They might declare attacking the orc once but the troll twice. In game very few fight until death. There are retreats, taking prisoners for ransom, breaking enemy moral and so forth. Not entirely sure what you mean by tactical depth. I've...

@Lanefan My game also has additional attributes and uses far more skills than WotC does. Assume all physical attributes are a 15 a fighter would have 150 hp and 3 attacks per 10 second melee round or a +3 shots added to the rate of fire for a missile weapon. Assuming a weapon skill of 5 any...

Pazuzu was not friendly when he sicced demonic harpies upon the party that excreted toxic bodily waste on the paladins's armors. Not only did it stink and cause nausea it also worked like a rust monster's attack and dissolved the holy plates, turning them into so much slag.

@Maxperson Yes and that amount would be all you have levels 1 through how far you play unless you take a "feat".

House rules we use: Hit points are constitution x10 at first level. This is all a character has unless choosing a "feat" when gaining a level. Choosing this particular "feat" means not having other "feats" which may be more desirable later on. Negative hit points, equal to your constitution...

With regards to number two, I would not say unfair, but rather a more natural response. If your party is attacked by a monster and one of the party falls, why would the monster stay around to continue fighting instead of dragging the fallen off to a secluded place to eat in peace? Also using...

Mysteries of Westgate.

I voted all. I explained to each of my players that anything they might see or read about in the real world can happen in game. Whether or not they find it depends on if they go looking for it or not. We are playing a fantasy "medieval" game where you often with much glee hack some poor sod to...

I have four. Divine, Arcane, Mundane and Nonpareil (which is a combination of the first three) Together these DAMN heroes just ruin a nice dragon's day.
