I have repeatedly renounced playing my character to the hilt, in the name of table harmony... example, a drow hating dwarf ranger (favored enemy drow) not killing the newcomer's drow character out of hand. If "playing in character" means being disruptive to game harmony, or worse, then step out of character and rationalize why your character is no following his instincts.
Minotaur have been made available as a player character race in some D&D settings (never in a main book, always a specific setting). At those times stats were offered for females (the usual height/weight difference). define main bookn please? Minotaurs were made a playable race in the 3rd PHB for D&D4, which I regard as a core book as opposed to the various expansion splatbooks . Sure, they were more associated with the Dark Sun setting, or so I understand, but the PHB3 was a setting free core book, not part of the Dark Sun splatbooks.
Put a curse on someone so they can only speak backwards (making spellcasting impossible for one)? and maybe make it so someone who speaks the same language can make a linguistics check to decypher what they are saying? Yes I know you could just make them mute but this would be more funny. Speaking backwards makes spell casting impossible? Ever heard of a DC character called Zatanna?
Well, Health, Wealth, sentimental fulfillment and Happiness to all.
No use, the DOMT is an artifact, it will take a lot more than that to destroy
Merry and happy season and new year to all
I must admit that the last time I met a beholder (in Out of the Abyss, D&D5) we managed to beat it with no deaths, and we only lvl 10 or 12... I was surprised, given the disintegrate and petrifaction rays.
Happy featmas season to all, read you soon
Ghouls & Ghasts... low level monsters that can stealthily creep u^to you and deliever the touch of paralysis, if you ever miss the save, you are defenseless until they decide whether to faise you as one of their own, or just are gonna eat you so completely it might become dangerous to take your bones together for either a raising, or an undead creation.
Use the original printing for Scarred Witch Doctor, Crane Wing, and Crane Riposte. Indeed, the scarred witch doctor was built all around being CON based, the faq/erretum making it INT based just was wrong.
Who else out here being gay and cute on this beautiful Monday morning? Not me, since I'm neither, but please ignore this straight guy and pursue being cute and gay, that's how you're at your best.
After looting the BBEG's mansion and fleeing to another country to avoid immediate retribution, we sell the stuff off to a local thieves' guild Thief "I don't know for that other stuff you have, I'm unoloading all that from you because we have a buyer" Player "Maybe it's [BBEG's nickname]"
Happy week end all, I hope nobdy got sick on turkey day ;)
and seriously, they have far too few charges to be useful... gimme back the time when wands had 100 charges when full, and staves had 25.
What do you mean about that spellcaster multiclassing thing? and one of my own pet peeves is with ability point buy... neve enough points for a well rounded char.
Hello, I wish you all a very good week
Merry Hallowe'en all.
well, I have a tooth against Lamashtu and Urgathoa, oh, and Zon Kuthon... I'm not sure I get Nethys or Irori and Abadar makes me break out in hives.
Given that the items within a BoH are in an extra dimensional space, and disjunction destroys the physical opening to that space, yes, all that's inside is lost... good luck finding the demiplane it opened on to retrieve the contents... maybe with a wish?
Heresy rules... that's funny, the rules in 3.xx were so written that when I mastered it, I ruled that a cleric could not 'fall', if he got away from his original god's ideals, he would either be secretly 'adopted' by another deity, or simply be sustained by his (straight or twisted) ideals... of course, when it came down to shifting alignments, he could no longer ignore the fact that his powers no longer came from his original god, and always had the option to seekatonement, but he never had to, he could go on, on his own faith's power, and possibly worshipping a twisted form of his old god, possibly being supported by another deity compatible with his new alignment and ideals... and he might never care to know who was secretly powering him up (if anybody at all, deityless clerics being a thing are really an interesting feature of the game).
*takes hugs and positive feelings, and channels some more* I hope the weekend will be good, I got 2 games, including one that I have no idea what it will be like... I'm having to create a character in a system I happen to own in my collections, but with which I'm largely unfamiliar... so I don't know if the guy will be well made enough. TOp of the day and excellent weekend to ya'll
She is the Lady of the Valkyries, meaning she also has a finger in the war/death pie... but yeah, first and foremost, she is the goddess of fertility, love and beauty... I think a nature oracle might be key to that.
1000 coins is 20 pounds of metal (50 coins per pound in 3.xx/Pathfinder)... requiring that much silever is impossible, maybe you could use that amount to garnish a fixed teleportation circle in your home, but to carry around, it would make the spell unfeasible. At any rate, you won't want to have it in coins, ingots are much more practical, and if you buy enough you might get a bulk discount rather than having to pay the commission of a money changer... of course, if you buy that much silver, you might get in the scope of the Silversmiths' guild who might demand dues, if you you make use of your ingots rather than just storing them...
Almond Extract. Try it, and tell me I'm wrong. Dunno, where I live almond flavor/smell is indication of a most mighty poison.
HFBD John.
Well, if you COULD get the Fire domain without having to worship either her or Asmodeus (I have access only to the basic pantheon, unless I'm playing a Dwarf), if might be interesting... let's be careful though, any Fire deity is likely to be highly destructive.
braaaaainzz
ZOn Kuthon, I hate playing paladins, but I could create one dedicated to exterminating his cult.
rather a good one, thanks
Particularly nasty in the guy who's DMing, I mean, we would do things and work toward our goals during a session, and next session, he would set us back, put us into a changed situation, and generally get us PO'ed major way... plus, he would bypass stuff he had dangled in front of us, that we wanted to do, and that got relegated to the dustbin of game history... (like when we played Out of the Abyss He let us go to the surface, on a trip to go fry an NPC's called Gromph Baenre's ass... but after we had started things in Luskan and had been making way, next session, he decreed it had been a dream sequence induced into our brains by the MInd flayers who had captured us, never mind how they had done it, as we were already high level , able to take on a Death Tyrant, and more than able to resist arrest)
*Reflects the general good feelings around him* Had a most sucky week, After years of being saved by vaccination, I got a massive flu, a very bad one... have been burning and shivering all week since saturday. Feeling a lot better now, even though it's not quite finished, think I'll go through the week end's social engagements (basically, 3 games).
actually, it's old fashioned, psychiatrists liked it back in the 1930's-60's... nowadays, it's fallen out of use... or I've not been seeing the right psychiatrists.
I'm like that, I like big words.
but evocation does not suffer from direct association with evil.
does the detect evil/good ability act as a permanent sense, or do you have to take actions and concentrate on it? Odds are they wouldn't even know each other for what they are, unless other factors come into play. If they know each other, and it's in the streets, glares are the most likely option, violence on the street is NOT something that is desirable, even if the antipaladin refrains from it only to avoid getting the authorities on his back. Socialisation seems unlikely, unless it's required for political reasons.
"Better" than what exactly? My bard in AD&D was straight up awesome. Old school bards are the real bards. Fighter. Thief. Then bard. Yeah, Cea, my AD&D bard was a real badass... I always regretted that none of the later editions could ever regain the feel of such a character... first the planning from low level on, then enjoying the fruits of that plan... even the 3.5 PrCs failed to give that kind of satisfaction... too much loss on some aspects because of the silly multiclassing rules and the way the PrC s are built.
happy belated to Vixie and Cap
Good week end everybody
Thank you That's an angle I'd never envisioned, at least not to that extent.
Tharizdun wants to destroy the universe and has been chained in eternal sleep, I think that Rovagug is a perfect substitution.
You mean it was not a straight reference to the Dueling Banjos, in Deliverance?
yeah, banjo is a degenerate form of the lute ;)
Funny enough, I remember Voyage to the Bottom of the Seas better, esp the series
Well, * recieves hugs and sends more back*... I think everything ought to go alright... I'll have to renew the stocks when next month's money comes, but they should hold.
Well, I hope my food reserves will hold for a week or 10 days, because it's that time of the month when I no longer have any $$$ left, and I sure hope I won't go as hungry as I tend to be bored.
uh what? Macek bought rights to three utterly unrelated Tatsunoko Series, and altered the dubbing to make them into a single, 3 parts series, or, to me more precise, to make the three distinct series parts of the same universe at 3 different times.
Well, if life is good for you, and hectic enough that you don't have time for the fora, I guess that's good news, Cindy.
I think it's far too late for him to do anything, PB is sinking, fast... it's not produced anything good for years (ok, I deem the last time it produced good stuff was back when CJ Carella still worked with them), it's lost its best moneymaking licences, its only resource is a remaining core of fans whom I fear are too few to really keep the company afloat... they had become the 3rd biggest RPG company around (behind T$R and WhiteWolf) back when they produced TMNT and Robotech and started Rifts, now, they are back to near total obscurity.
well, to start with, detecting evil on royal official is incredibly rude and likely to impact your standing with the court, but killing an official, regardless of his alignment is making you into a public enemy, expect high level paladins and adventurers to try to ingratiate themselves by presenting the king with your heads... no matter if you're good and thte paladins can't smite you, you're criminals and random killers... of course, I don't favor the murderhobo ethos when I master.
Job interview today! WML! Belated BoL... Wish I had the means to offer people jobs god knows this cataloguing of my library and RPG collection is not going to do itself, and I don't have the Database expertise to do it myself.
