I played a 3.5 eberron campaign as a Telepath Psion who used mind-effecting powers nearly exclusively, including dominate. I played him as LG. Or, he believed he was LG. YMMV. He always tried to use diplomacy first in any conflict if it could be helped. He didn't use any mind-effecting powers...

I think this is more of a feature of a wealth system than a flaw. Nobody cares about cheeseburgers. I guess if you walked into a McDonalds and said you buy a literal truck load of McDoubles, your DM is probably justified in asking for a wealth check, as well as a few more rolls, besides. Well...

But are they? I mean, in Dark Sun the "flip" is that halflings are barbaric cannibals who everyone is terrified of, and stay away from their jungle hideaways. Humans can do that, too... but it's WEIRD when halflings do it. Halflings share a lot of traits with humans, but not all of them-...

Well, PC's are exceptional no matter what race they are from. They are the superheroes of the D&D setting, saving the world from gnolls, mindflayers, devils, etc. As for Men, Elves, Dwarves, etc. they seem to spend a lot of time fighting themselves and each other, building empires and fighting...

I am about 168 pages late to the party, but I think their niche is how they are the simple, provincial race who really just want to put their oversized feet up, stick their fishing pole in the water, and watch the day go by in time to head to the pub for a drink. The thing that sets them apart...

Epic level combat session part 3

please don't let "played in old school fashion" become code for "bigotry safe space."

Sorry to go off topic, I figured the rules were probably similar and could probably be equally applied to WWN.

That map looks great! I recently bought SWN so I appreciate people's experience with this kind of system. The two things I am wanting to change are the stat bonuses (to bring them more in line with D&D) and roll d20's for skill checks. Seems like it should be doable...

The careers are a little swingy in the tone department, aren't they? Hi, My name is Raduin, I am a light bringer. I practice medicine and I have an energy sword! And these are my friends, the Blade Keeper (you can tell who he is by his buzz saw badge he's wearing) and the Spine Ripper. (Just...

One thing I have noticed is that on the battlefield some players don't like using lines that aren't one of the 8 directions. Part of this is "grid blindness." They think of straight lines as only the 8 directions, when in reality your PC does not live in "grid world" and can point his...

A psionicist is going to be some kind of caster. It will resemble one class or another. There is no helping that. Conclusions? This isn't a mathematical proof. This is just my vision of how one would construct a psionicist class. There isn't any point to arguing taste. If you have different...

When making a new class, looking at the classes already provided as a basis isn't "taking their thing" in my opinion. We don't consider paladins taking anything from clerics or fighters, right? Despite resembling these other classes, paladins have a thematic niche. That niche informs the ways...

I voted for the Skill-Like option, though the hourly recovery thing is :poop: It's my feeling that Psionicists should look at the Warlock as a basis, with the various "schools" of psionics being the subclasses. Recovery could be on short rests, like a Warlock.

I think the biggest thing this thread is revealed is how much we all like ice cream. and metaphors. but mostly ice cream.🍦

FR is the kind of vanilla that has little flecks of vanilla bean in it. Some people can taste the vanilla bean and love it, other people don't see what the big deal is, who pays this much for vanilla ice cream? Greyhawk is old-fashioned vanilla, off brand. The kind that your grandparents bought...

Anyone who would care enough to recognize the cameo would also very likely know about the controversy. And as someone who knew about the controversy before coming into the thread, Hello, I exist. o_O

I am not sure that Herald is the best replacement for Paladin. To me a herald isn't really a warrior, or even divine. He's the guy that plays the trumpet and introduces High Lord Muckety-Muck.

Well... one way to build a tolerance for poison is to ingest small amounts of it. It could be that one of the dwarven staples of their diet is mildly poisonous.

Whatever it is that you get out of rpg supplements: sparking new ideas, or new mechanics to play with, or new lore... every new supplement is an injection of stuff to play with. When games stop getting new books, you don't get new toys. But hey! Look over there! That RPG has new supplements! New...
