Here's my guess: Something silly that lets you switch to playing another character when you die. Or maybe you can't die, like in Planescape Torment, or maybe... Who you gonna call? Ghostwalkers! :D

Your example #1: A 28 year old stealthy holy wizard warrior? That's the best argument against a skill-based system I've ever heard!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: In my campaign Hit Points represent ACTUAL physical toughness. Adventurers are effectively superheroes. If you accept this, all the strangeness about hit points vanish. Its also perfectly logical: fighters have magical powers just like mages, they...

Its a little late to complain now, isn't it? :D Seriously though, I never understood that "labor of love" thing. Its just a game for goodness sake!

The Rom are a race of undead giants found in Arabian and African folklore.

"Fire Water Burn" by the Bloodhound Gang "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads

In the last campaign I ran, I let the characters start at 1st level with a box of True Resurrection scrolls (long story). They sometimes took stupid risks because they knew they could get raised without penalty, but it let me be a lot harsher on them. They started to get really panicky later...

Ohhh... I get it, you are looking for sympathy, not advice! I used to have the same problem giving advice to my wife until I read "Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus". :) Mages are broken, and fighters got the shaft. :rolleyes: No seriously, people have suggested putting more points...

The players in my Dragonstar game wondered why there were no non-leathal weapons, so I created one. We gave it the lame name of "stunner", and it does 3d6 subdual damage with a 50-foot range increment. Useless against undead, constructs, and the like, but great for taking prisoners. It also...

One word. Spycraft.

Atlas games just posted a shiny new Nyambe preview (the Mask Maker prestige class) at: http://www.atlas-games.com/nyambe_freebies/nyambe_maskmaker.pdf While in the the Mask Maker prestige class isn't in color in the final book, this preview still gives you a pretty good idea of what the color...

Borrowing some D&D terminology because its a D&D board, I think ghosts are astral constructs involuntarily created upon the death of an individual with latent psionic ability. That's not say I don't believe in souls - I do - I just don't think a disembodied human soul could manifest on the...

I assume the smiley-face is because you already know about the rage-mage prestige class from Dragon and didn't like it?

I've always felt that prestige classes should be tied to organizations that provide "secret" training. To use Forgotten Realms as an example: Red Wizard = Good prestige class idea Archmage = Bad prestige class idea Harper = Good prestige class idea Divine Disciple = Bad prestige class idea

Great-googly-moogly! If you want to worry about attractiveness, make it a FEAT that you can only take at 1st level (unless you think it can be a makeover, in which case it can be available at higher levels). "Purty" Prerequisties: Cha 13+, 1st level characters only Benefit: This feat...

Worst. Troll. Ever.

I don't think we're saying that Charisma doesn't have an effect. I think we're saying it doesn't have ENOUGH of an effect. Strength affects attack and damage rolls and encumbrance, Dexterity affects AC and Reflex saves, Wisdom affects Will saves, Intelligence affects skill points, and Charisma...

I say Charisma should also represent LUCK, not just a winning smile. How about using Charisma to modify rolls used for random treasure determination? Average the party's Cha score, and multiply the corresponding stat modifier by 5 (this may require some tweaking), and apply that as a modifier...

After all that wait... does that mean the graphics are already dated? :-)

Whew! What a relief. I'm very happy with this book. The artwork is absolutely stunning, and I'm quite satisfied with the content. Though the book is fantasy, I tried my best to imitate real-world cultures, kingdoms, historical events, and people. For example: * When you read about the...
