I guess I'm just lucky. I'm a powergamer, I'll admit (I like epic, sweeping adventures, whether I'm DMing or playing), but that does't mean I'm out to ruin other people's fun. The non-powergamers came to enjoy that they're trying to find out information while the combatacon is fighting off the...

Another way to handle it is talk to the group. Find out what the powergamers want. Do they want optimized combat monsters, guys to rival Hercules and women to rival Xena, with mages that could go toe to toe with Sauramon? There's nothing wrong with wanting that. Hell, from an RP standpoint...

Gun LOOK overpowered, but the gunslinger and guns in general are actually gimped unless you follow a very specific feat chain. If anything, I thought you were trying to make them pretty worthwhile. A dedicated archer can actually put out more damage than a gunslinger at equal levels at about...

I use a lot of additional materials, but it fits in my game (which has non-magical 'super-heavy' armor that grants non-magical, stacking deflection bonuses, SR, stuff like that) pretty well. Arcanium: Magic resonant metal that's incredibly hard to refine and is rare as hell. (Formed where a...

While I agree with the whole bit about the ACG making the Core Rulebook classes almost obsolete (which is why I won't be buying it) I do disagree with the bit about the monsters. In our campaign, Baba Yaga has returned, and the war on the "Frostwall" has gone from a cold war to a hot one. A...

I've ran Mythic material since the book was in playtest, and to be honest, yes, you can build broken things if that is what you set out to do. Half of the time, those characters wouldn't survive in normal play to become suddenly broken. I like the Mythic book, and for those of you who...

OK, Intimidation handled the crowd. Nice Diplomacy with ol' Nine-Axes, he's a touchy one but very very valuable as all of the other Lagoo respect and/or fear him. We'll get to the other diplomacy checks in a few minutes. I figure by the time he's done Smythe ought to be done with breakfast and...

Frella The acolyte nods, sweating slightly as he stammers, unaware of the massive lagoo coming up behind him. "Of course, your eminence, the Lord Bishop was purified by fire, so his sins and shortcomings were forgiven by Father Church." He mops his brow. "My sincere apolog... urk!" The massive...

Frella The square falls silent except for the weeping and heathen prayers of the pirates lined up to be purified. Everyone is watching as the imposing Bishop enters the square, moving up next to the acolyte, who bows deeply. "Only two have attempted theft, and both of them Molty's." He says...

Smythe The marines look nervous about sitting down, with the exception of the two older marines, who both sit down a respectable distance from the Scout Captain. The servants seem to anticipated Smythe's command and bring out a large omelette, stuffed with strange meats and cheeses (His cook...

Nice. I'll grant part of your reputation as a bonus, since you're leaning heavily on your rep. That's all nice rolls.

Give me an intimidation check from Frella, as well as five Diplomacy checks.

Frella The pouch of coin is waiting exactly where it should be, on a small table beside the door, along with the ornate silver staff adorned with holy sigils that Frella tucks in his belt, and the thin leather crop gleaming with fire-nettle oil sits next to it, awaiting its master's use...

Smythe Walking down the street Smythe spots another of his servants standing next to a door of a stone and wood building that looks as if it might have been one of the early buildings of the pirate port. There are a pair of large twisted horns atop the doorway, which is wide open. "Armor or...

It basically involves going around and waiting for any of the commanders to come tell you if someone displayed cowardice or bravery when the port was being taken. Slaves will also come up to give information, some for reward, some out of piety, and some out of spite, but Frella's grown skilled...

Frella The palace walls are a study in debauchery and heathen ways. Artwork depicting Lagoo and heathen men and women involved in things better left in private as Lord God intended, gold and silver inlay on the black wood paneling, and rich carpets (obviously taken by pirates) on the floor...

His Holiness the Pope > The Holy Empress > Lord Bishop Horaga Verestian > Bishop Frella > Lesser Bishop Cartega His Holiness the Pope > The Holy Empress > High Lord Marshal Vrexisha > Lord Marshal Terebkiss Lord Marshal Terebkiss > Marshal Ulvena > Lord Tralvek > Lord Captain Chilvex > Lord...

OK, be back in a bit.

Frella The Lord Bishop nods, and one of the lagoo women wipes his forehead of the sweat that has beaded there. "Dinner will be served later, once this abominable heat has lessened somewhat." He points toward the stairs, where Juvenna, one of Bishop Frella's personal servants, is moving down...

Frella The Lord Bishop nods sagely, folding his hands over the sash across his rock solid stomach. One of the Lord Bishop's personal servants puts a glass of fine wine in Bishop Frella's hand and two of the young servants, their brands still red and swollen, move to fan the large Bishop as he...
