Ambiguously Gendered Return of 'What is the Hivemind?'

[Jdvn1]

I don't have divine intervention rules, but I do allow planeswalking, so if the players want to negotiate for divine aid, they can try

Well, I think it's neat when a player gets in character and wants to tithe... so instead of him penalizing himself by throwing away money, I give him some deity-related bonuses. I think of it as a roleplaying award.

Hmmm...I'm wondering what alignment it is to kill Doggie not because you care about whether it will attack if it is healed (as evidenced by not healing it and giving it a chance to react) but because it gets in your way for your plan that you are enforcing on someone against their will. I'm thinking Lawful Neutral there.

1e is a neat feel, I think.

I might be acquiring Castles & Crusades at GenCon. I used to play 1st Ed. back in the day. I think it would be cool to C&C with the FR.

Oh--by divine intervention I meant where the deity swoops down and saves you with god-power

Hmmm, that is definetely a good idea. I just may have to start looking at the Piety rules in Exalted Deeds and modifying it to suit my needs.

Sheesh. Talk about a flyby saving!

 

[Jdvn1]

That bites the big one.

Indeed. It did give me interesting roleplaying opportunities, but if I had any problems with IC/OOC actions, I definitely got over it. Now, it's very separate.

Indeed. That's why I don't have those

Possibly, but remember there's not just one reason for their actions.

And that would definetely be a good thing.
