So, I'm making a character to join a new group and after a few months of other systems I'm struggling a little with the system. So, a little help would be appreciated. The idea is inspired by Boondock Saints, a man driven by his belief to punish the wicked, committing heinous deeds in the...

... in this case the step out of my parents' house. Tomorrow I'm going to take the train, arriving at my future place of study in the evening. From then on I be a student of medical science at the university of Göttingen and no longer the...

... I am speaking of course of Peter Jackson's movies, not of the book. It hardly makes sense otherwise, doesn't it? It is 4:32am and I just finished watching all three movies in a row, again. This post is about what I realized when I went for a walk between the first and the second part: The...

3:17am on the day of my 19th birthday. I'm sitting here in front of my PC, a little bored and generally unable to sleep - my sleeping pattern has shifted so much I could be a vampire, only a vampire would go back to his coffin earlier. The effect of too much vacation, I'm simply not doing...

Ok, this is no rant, this isn't much of anything (probably not even witty), but the 'other' thread is closed now ... What happened to me yesterday was just about the opposite of what happened to Arbiter of Wyrms: So I'm packing my things, generally on the way to the door, when in passing I...

I quite like the synergy effects of skills related to each other, but I feel the current system is a little too fixed - especially at higher levels it 'runs out of sense'. Take for example the synergy between Sense Motive and Diplomacy. Even very early you can be at 5 ranks in Sense Motive get...

Yeah, it's finally time. Two and a half year of lurking, reading, posting and whatnot have brought me to this critical juncture. 1000 posts ... maybe I should play more PbP, if I'm counting posts. Anyway, many thanks to the people in the SH forum, whose works drew me here to ENWorld - what...

So I finished school a few weeks back and am going to start at university this fall. Deadline for applications is next friday, but I want to have it done by monday evening. The question is: What exactly am I going to study? Ironically I already know that I'm going to take computer science as...

Here we go with OotS #200! This asks for a celebration! :) ... and nothing as much fun as enemies that shouldn't be ;)

Maybe some other time.

Tomorrow is the day. At 1:30pm our flight goes from Frankfurt to Denver, Colorado. Three weeks of holidays, here I come! :) My sister has been there as an exchange student for a year now and I and my father are now following her to Ft. Collins to meet her host parents, then rent a camping van...

In order to get more familiar with the Black Company Campaign Setting I created a high level wizard and alchemist, which I posted in the Rogues' Gallery here: Master Goldhand. I'd appreciate all feedback concerning errors I might have made, be they mechanical or not. Suggestions about other...

Master Goldhand Our captain has had this rule before I even joined: Meet the employer and take his measure. The real one. In person. For a small band like hours, more suited to shady jobs than to war like the real companies, this often meant lost opportunities, but I daresay it also saved our...

Well, you know that video of the Star Wars kid made its way around the world? Here's another of those internet phenomena, though even more humiliating for the poor 'protagonist'. Eric's grandma probably wouldn't be too happy about it and I'm not sure about it being SFW either, so I'm leaving it...

[I'm posting this in here instead of in the Off-Topic forum, because I'm hoping to balance staying within the framework of the movie and not venturing into RL religion and politics (more than is inavoidable) on the one hand and honest discussion on the other. If the thread steps over the line at...

Houserule: Holding spells Tormak the holy warrior of Pelor is furious: King Moridan's evil advisor has once more foiled the party's attempts to reveal his machinations and has the gall to deride them, when they are alone. His hand on the hilt of his sword he advances on the man: "That was the...

The idea would be to create a wand of dispel magic (for example), that could be used for counterspells (still subject to the usual rules, taking a readied action, etc) or a special scroll case, that allows the user to retrieve any scroll from it as free action and use it as counterspell. Yes, I...

I'm playing a 10th level necromancer in a PbP game and created a few custom spells to be used by him. The DM's already approved of them, but I'd still like some feedback :) ------------------- Merion’s Negative Disruption Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard...

I was just watching Matrix: Reloaded again and couldn't stop myself from thinking stunning fist! flurry of blows! grapple! power attack! concealment! ... I'm aware, that there are several systems modelling the Matrix setting as an RPG, but which of them would you recommend? How would you do it...
