Ambiguously Gendered Return of 'What is the Hivemind?'

[Angel Tarragon]

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

Ditto here.

 

[Rystil Arden]

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

I thought the consensus was that they didn't care whether it attacked or not because others would not adopt Laynie with the render around so it must be killed to facilitate adoption?

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.

I started with 3.0, so I get the 1e feel through my new gaming group--a portion of which started with 1e, some of which started in the early days of 2e. I think it's cool that I get along with old-time players.

 

[Jdvn1]

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

Oh, no. He might give you the extra d10 temporary hitpoints to get you through the day or the extra +2 to avoid that fireball...

Whee...I started playing with 2e for years before going to 3e, but I'm probably still younger

So he's casting Aid or Guidance on you I guess.

 

[Jdvn1]

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.

I haven't thought to look there, actually. I think I probably stole the idea from a tip at roleplayingtips.com, but I'm not sure. I don't like the rules in BoED, for the most part, but the color is cool.

 

[Jdvn1]

And that would definetely be a good thing.

So I assume you understand, then, why I wouldn't say a prayer for the render in real life.

That is always good. The gamers with experience from previous versions of DnD tend to get along well together. I should know, I've been gaming since '91, and I've played almost all of 'em from Basic, to 1st Ed and 2nd Ed.

I thought there wasn't a consensus.
