I was trying to comment on Pinto's idea of how gm-less gaming applied to D&D might play out. So I did base my ideas on 3/4-isms :) When I say "remove GM insistence", I mean remove the preconceived idea that the party is going to accomplish XYZ in order to progress the GM's story along. If X...

I 100% agree with you that some some people like immersive, dramaturgical roleplaying. I didn't mean to imply that people don't. I don't mean to say that playing a character within a story or telling a story has any 'edge' on being more or less ego driven. I'm talking about the less balanced...

You've asked for thoughts on the pro's and con's of how D&D as a GM-less endeavor could work. I see the thread has become more of a dissection of the original post. Forgive me for devolving it back to your original intention, but I didn't jump into this thread early enough to avoid it's...

There was some discussion at the gaming table about what events/resolutions actually happen in the following scenario: It's my turn and I move 3 of my 6 movement before a monster with a readied action to "attack me when I came into view" gets his attack trigger. The attack hits me and...

Maybe I'm getting confused with Iron Heroes also. I'm in Confoundo's game, and for the life of us, we all remember reading a footnote or passage that said something to the loose notion of: You are considered to occupy the squares you move through until the end of your turn. This would allow a...

According to the PHB, when your turn starts, the following things happen (listed by bullet points under "Start of your turn" which also does not say that they happen in the order lsited): Ongoing Damage Regeneration etc. etc. I have 2 questions: Is the start of your turn a phase of your turn...

Thank you all for helping me clarify/locate the appropriate rules for those 3 scenarios! :lol: It is apparent that NONE of the three described scenarios are viable (which also seems the most fair overall to me). It's hard to figure these things out when you have 3 other fellow players quoting...

The following three scenarios came up and I was unable to find anything really clear about how the following situations should work according to the rules (we had player discussion both supporting and discounting the actions): To set the first two up, let's use the following initiative order...

In D&D when I have a life changing encounter, I usually go up a level In real life, I end up crying with comfort food and a blankie In D&D it's exciting to recreate yourself with new class levels and races In real life I barely have the enthusiasm for a different hairstyle and new jeans...

I'm starting as a fighter, so it will take me 5 levels to get the +5 base attack bonus requirement. My basic goal is to dual wield mighty(+4) whip daggers. Here are my questions: a) Is there any feat I can take before I get the lasher levels that will remove the attack of opportunity I'll draw...

Hehe, I meant to remove the Freedom of Movement :D

With items and the spell that grant Freedom of Movement, it states that an opposed grapple check is always won, and thus you can never be grappled while the effect is in play. The scenario: The caster was attempting to cast a full round spell. Knowing I couldn't hold her in a grapple, I still...
