Thanks for the tips! The characters are (will be) young (8-14). The players are 20-something adults. I'm planning to use the d20 Modern rules from Dungeon (and the official book, when it comes out) so they will have more generic classes (Smart Hero, Fast Hero, etc.) instead of the usual D&D...

Does anyone know of any good rules/guidelines for creating and advancing children as characters? I'd like to run a game where the all the heroes are children (a la Changeling, but without Faerie). I really haven't decided whether the setting will be fantasy or modern or (more likely) a...

Flavor Flav from Public Enemy can play 14 instrument, including brass, keyboards, and guitar. I watched their "Behind the Music" or whatever it's called on E! or VH-1 or somesuch.

What, no Neil Pert? Though Rush is certainly not my cup of tea, Neil Pert is one of the most technically proficient drummers alive.

I'd like to recommend a couple of my favorite books of the last few years. Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear Sci-Fi tale about the next stage in human evolution. Original story with good science; something often lacking in modern science fiction. The Alienist by Caleb Carr Historical Fantasy set...

They all look like covers for Harlequin Romance Novels. Just drop in Fabio and they're ready for the dime rack.

That's funny. I thought he said Neil Gaiman...

well, that didn't take long.

yeah, all that is good, but the complete cheeze-ball ending really just ruins it for me. that and the ewoks. yub-yub.

Wasn't Greedo a bounty hunter trying to capture Han for the reward from Jabba? Plenty of motivation for a scoundrel to shoot his way out of a sticky situation. Lucas wants to make Han more noble than he is. That's the problem I have with this continued pointless tweaking. Lucas's constant...

Entropy - What happens to the extra 57 points of damage when my Barbarian cuts that pesky kobold in half?

Natalie Portman not enough to make me want to ever watch Return of the Jedi again. Ever.

Yeah, and I have 50% cover because you can only see the half of me that's facing you. Oh, wait, I probably get a cover bonus from my armor, too, like 75%. Can't see through armor!

maybe the problem lies in the PrC I think that the main problem lies in the fact that this is basically a Template disguised as a Prc. The PrC, as written, probably should get all the benefits of enlargement. However, that would make this somewhat unbalanced (as it's not really a PrC). This...

Re: Special Circumstance Bogus Earlier (above) I posted examples of how one character might attempt to Intimidate another using each of the six Ability Scores. Why not just make the relevant Ability check each time you are trying to Intimidate, depending upon your method of Intimidation, and...

Re: Re: You've missed a key element of the definition Gruff, arrogant, stubborn, emotionally distant, disturbing people are lacking in Strength of Character (and we're talking Heroic Fantasy here) to a certain degree, which is reflected by their Charisma penalty. A Character who is quick to...

Special Circumstance Bogus "I twist the iron bar into a knot to indimidate the guy" "I casually throw knowledge of quantum dymanics into the conversation to intimidate the guy" "I juggle 3 keen vorpal daggers with one hand to intimidate the guy" "I drain the goblet of poisoned wine and...

You've missed a key element of the definition of Charisma in the PHB. "It represents actual personal strength, not merely how one is perceived by others in an social setting." Assuming (broadly) that all high Strength characters are lumpy mountains of muscle, who'd sooner pound you flat than...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: How about Fire giants instead of Red Dragons? I knew all that stuff.. I just wondered if it said what the Vitals were, and where they were located...
