Really like this stuff guys, Keep it up the good, Cheers,

When considering epic characters, factor in the dynamics of the epic character as this is an integral part of the "epic". Epic powers should grant proportional epic qualities within the life of the character such as organizational powers. Take Orcus for example, he has a lot of cool abilities...

For there to be an epic moment, you need to perceive the epic. You can't just just have a slow progression leading to a titan, then all you get is Walmart. Potential difference is where it's at. There needs to be a clear distinction between what makes a titan and what makes a mortal. The...

There has to be some amount of integrity to epic play that is a reliable attachment taken from regular level play. What is more epic, one man killing an entire civilization or an army killing an entire civilization? Well, perhaps both when we look at the story of Troy. In epic, there has...

I have been working on a rule-set of Epic Combat for Pathfinder. It is designed to allow play at an Epic level while maintaining the existing mechanics of D&D 3.5 Epic is relative to the perspective as an ant being crushed under foot may go unnoticed but at a molecular level can present an...

Nah, people where just trying to prove a point about that which cannot be named (for a week right :) Cheers,

Yeah could be fun, and that's such an appropriate use of the word. I like to practice different logistics-- next session I'm thinking of having a large crevasse of unknown depths with a few monsters hanging nearby to throw my players in ... I can hardly wait to see the Paladin's reaction ...

If you set a readied action that is triggered whenever a character charges, then you can move back behind an obstacle perhaps leading the character and splitting the party. It's calculated and may or may not work but hey, any tactics are advanced tactics for most players imo. Cheers,

Yeah, this can be rather silly if everyone triggers their action to the highest initiative, then you have everyone, including the monsters going at the top of the order. Although I was thinking of a nice tactical encounter where two henchmen and a boss who are at some distance from the party...

I was thinking to day that it would be nice if we could use cards to minimize the rules instead of adding rules and effects. The cards would represent the state of the character and would be used to by pass certain game mechanics, such as automatically passing a dangerous maneuver, or...

I think this is simply amazing. The potential of the mount is very underplayed imo in D&D. Can you believe that for one entire year my group lost their horses on five different occasions. They just plum forgot about them ... rather just leave out the back door on a long stroll back to town...

I like the use of cards. We use the crit cards and they are always a fun time drooling. I was thinking about using magic cards to represent psionic combat. It runs along the hyperconscious d20 where there are dreamscape terrain, except we replace the 6 terrains for the 6 terrains of mtg. You...

Yeah thanks, this was back in early Dec when the beast3 wasn't avail, but that's okay. I didn't give him the cinematic satisfaction of felling the giant, I was just incredulous and huffed and puffed for a couple mins and then we moved on. I don't know what it is with players and why they...

Hi, I'm feeling good today and I hope you are too. Wait, before you avert your eyes if you are interested in a mass combat system for d&d then please read on. Otherwise, yeah. Mass Combat for d&d has been in my experience akin to an ugly girlfriend, you want to play with her but you're scared...

The rule that the rider gets only one attack while the mount takes a greater than 5' move action is consistent with the rule that a character gets only one attack when moving more than 5'. So yeah, thanks for helping Epa, I think this will open up a lot of playability for the mount. You prob...

You have no reply so I'll try to help. We had an assassin that was reduced to a diminutive size. I thought his movement range would also be decreased, y'know physical proportions and all, but nope. We couldn't find it anywhere in the core (RAW) that the movement changes. So I had a look at...

I have been thinking about this one (oh-oh) and yeah, I have the first printing of the core and unless I'm missing an faq or something ... page 201 talks about quantifiers for mounts in combat and seems to address untrained mounts specifically. They really should use the colon but meh. Page...

Yeah thanks guys. I just found it odd that it is listed keen and not keen but then again I have the first printing of the core book (my friend the fourth) and wow, there be a lot of stuff missing in my book. I think the reason they decided to keen only melee weapons is because of the high crit...

I wish the rogue hadn't inherited the title of walking corpse in 3.5 I wish the rogue was more bouncy like spider-man or upbeat like deadpool. We play with a sophisticated level of organizations using genetic algorithms to determine the sandbox developments of our campaign societies (and...

I have a couple quickies that maybe someone can help me with-- My players found a keen +1 longbow in the Pathfinder Second Darkness. The srd lists keen as slashing and piercing weapon but the 4th edition printing of core rules says slashing and piercing "melee" weapon. Which is it? Also, is...
