[br][br]Dude, are you seriously telling me that you expect Conan to buy an extradimensional space to put his junk? And you think that coverin...

Do tell... AFAIK, Tau are stupid out-of-genre Borg-ripoffs. But I don't really know anything about them so... Enlighten me

1181281269[/unixtime]] (The notion that poison is evil is just plain crap btw.) [br][br]Well as much as I'm not keen on the rules that poison is evil, it seems to me that using it against people has pretty much unversally been considered bad. Its the weapon of choice for usurpers and assasins, its ...

1181240195[/unixtime]]So are we voting to not make the extreme alignment rules because we can't make sense of regular alignment rules? Or what? [br][br]I don't know about you but I'm voting of getting rid of the whole legacy Good/Evil and Law/Chaos dichotomies. Start with a clean slate and make up ...

1181197919[/unixtime]]Let's assume, for now, that killing a person is inherently evil. If someone else plans to kill a great deal of people and to stop him, you'd have to kill him, then killing him is an acceptable action of good; however, if killing him could be avoided, say by incapcitating and i...

1181016905[/unixtime]]Thing is, Exalted and Vile traits do not make any sense. Extremes of such broad concepts as Good and Evil are so full of fail I don't have the patience to dissert what really irks me about them. Still, I'd like to contribute a little bit.[br][br]When you write down on your she...

1180548858[/unixtime]] 1180543160[/unixtime]][br][br]I can see the logical consequence of this. Since the characters are never in the same room, at no point will the players be in the same room :freakedout:[br][br](Well perhaps they will be, at the local bar a block from the place where they will a...

Now if only he could actually pull it off...[br][br] That sounds more like a turn-based strategy game than a RPG.[br][br]As a RPG it will probably suck donkey cock. As a strategy game, i...

Note: The following post will sound annoyed. That's because I'm fucking mad at this poor excuse of a real ST. Read on.[br][br]Today I spoke with my friend about the game. The discussion begun when I innocently inquired if the ST had any houserules or something. I learned the following timeline:[br]3...

I think you're reading way too much into this. D&S is a game about killing people and taking their stuff. Dominate and other effects were basically an afterthought. Which shows a little in cases like this and a lot in other cases (cough Diplomacy cough).

Let's not forget the build-in infinite power loop by level 12. Fvcking Eberron.

40K is one of the great no-nos for me because it's been hyped by everyone around me for, like, forever. And then I got to play and it was fucking boring. I'll probably give it a serious shot at some point and my army will be made entirely out of Sisters of Mercy. Cause, man, those chicks are hardcor...

As the resident powergamer in my area (read: guy who's characters don't suck) I get asked for advice a lot. So a friend called an hour ago and told me he's playing a V:tR game. I told him it sucks. He told me the name of the ST. He sucks even more. And he asked for my help.[br][br]Which is a bummer ...

OK. There's a PrC in Races of Rabbit Fvcking called Arcane Hierophant. There is also a PrC in the DMG that's called Mystic Theurge. And this second PrC doesn't receive any love because it, well, sucks. But it might be useful in this thought experiment.[br][br]Take three levels of Wizard. Then three ...

How about this:[br][br]There are four types of area effects.[br][br]1) Smart area effects selectively target people, either due to timing or due to actual guidance (Flamestrike and Magic missile fall in this category).[br][br]2) Big area effects affect a whole square indiscriminately, targeting anyo...

4: Magic effects ... bonus on Diplomacy checks or fail.

Don't you mean Bluff?

I don't like the "Your DC's are halved" effects but I haven't analyzed if they actually affect anything so I'll shut up for now. Great work otherwise.

Last guest was me. Damn it...

The Sphere of Dominion allows you to make a permanent Storm of Vengeance once a month. How does that work, exactly? Does the spell run through it's loop forever? Does it get stuck in a particular round? More questions as I come up with them.
