Luvin' (N): Healing, usually in the form of cure XX wounds spells. Usually yelled by tanks in melee as "Ouch, I need some luvin' over here!" Fireball formation (Not origionally ours) (N): A formation in which every PC stands within a 20' radius, making it easy to kill them all with a...

Wait, your gestalt PC couldn’t recover from Filth fever? The DC is 12, right? So you wait two days and get taken care of. The guy with the heal skill takes ten and (we hope) generates more than a 12. If he doesn’t have a +2 modifier, have someone assist him. There you go. It delays the party...

I set one experience point to mean “The amount you learn or improve by going about your normal job for one day”. Then I used that to build an NPC level chart for my world. I made three categories; Easy job, middle, and difficult job. The more difficult your job, the more you improve (they...

(Sorry, didn’t read all the posts, hope it’s still on topic) Yes, I have an NPC hireling cleric in a game refuse to heal my barbarian for some reason. The next battle, the barbarian just stepped aside and let the monsters have at the cleric. I believe the quote was “We all have a job buddy, you...

My only advice would be to incorporate something other than random monsters. If there are several sessions in a row of “We keep going” “There’s a monster” “we kill it and keep going” it will get dull quickly. How about having it so nobody really knows where the tower is? That way they have to...

We are looking for a new player for our DnD 3.5 group. We play in Higashi-Koganei (Tokyo, chuo line) on alternate Sundays. The group likes a good mix of battle, character development, and a little humor thrown in. Most any splat book goes, but we are not a tactics oriented power-group (For...

Class levels don't come into it. But then again, if two 32 point-buy people have a kid, I guess it's more likely to be a 32 point buy kid than the standard human. -Tatsu

Right now, I’m playing a Paladin and I have always had trouble role-playing a selfless PC who is willing to die for the cause of good. I know he’s not afraid of death, but I don’t want to have to stop playing him. But, I recently re-read the Psi Handbook, and now I’m excited about making a...

Cool, I'm now officially "The guy above Rystil Arden" ! To clarify, I would make a VOP PC loose his abilities if he accepted a wish that would help only him if there were any other options. That's selfish, and not too Exalted if you ask me. Small stuff that has immeadiate need, ok. But the...

But in such a situation as the Wish Reward, wouldn't a proper VOP PC say "No, please, give the reward to someone more needy. I think there is a beggar near the docks who has had a curse put on him" or "No please, use that power (Gp/Exp) to help the poor." One wish spell can heal / cure / help a...

Oh come on, everyone is forgetting the many "Help me price this item" threads that ramble on for weeks with no answer other than "Do what you want, you are the DM!" -Tatsu

I really love the crunch of the XPH. But, I also like the feel of Psionics. I guess what I like about it is that Psionics DON’T feel like science to me. The current magic system is about remembering or knowing how to manipulate some external forces. We used to even call it memorizing spells...

Just to play devil's advocate here. If you have found many groups in a row to be too crass / lowbrow for you, maybe it's just that you have set the bar very high. I consider my group to be pretty tame, but we have had at least one player leave after a short time because we weren't polite...

NSFW = Not Suitable For Work (Used to denote areas of websites you shouldn't vist from work). -- I really like what has been said about tarots and the like. The mind / soul would be much more valued than external things. (poorly restated, it's late). I live in Tokyo, so I can understand the...

Hey thanks everyone keep the ideas (and error corrections, I guess “psyonic” is a guy with levels in Psion and Psychic warrior) coming! I really like the ideas about monastery life being the place one improves him/herself. Improving your mind will lead to power, but it’s not an easy path. In...

Hi all, I am just starting to toy around with the idea of a home brew with no arcane or divine magic, only psyonics. So, I am turning to people here to help me think of what this world would look like. Here’s the thoughts that have worked their way into my fevered little mind so far. I will...

Wow, it seems that I am a very open DM. I hate the idea of telling a player s/he can't do something because it wasn't in AD&D. OK, my rules... 1) I allow most anything if the player can prove s/he wants it for fluff, not crunch. 2) Bards don't get spells, but they get more skills, and they...

I personally think 2 skill points is a ridiculously low cost for a language. IMC, you start with the standard number (common + Racial + 1 per INT) and from then on, it's a feat to learn a language. Also, humans get “Human” and common (not the same language). Of course, most of the players...

Or if you really don't like him, ethereal filchers LOVE adamantine double axes ! -Tatsu

I am not sure if anyone has mentioned Kusanagi (one of the three Japanese Imperial items, a sword). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusanagi It's got a good history, plus lots of different theories. But if you actually see it, it's a bit old looking... (not that I have seen it in person)...
