The Gaming Den

People, stop trying to shove monotheism down my ancestors' throats. The Greeks (and pretty much everybody in those days) were polytheistic. Who you pray to depends entirely on who you think might help you out in your current circumstances: Lost at Sea? You pray to Poseidon (because he'll throw a tsu...

The Withering/Decisive split seems like it has a lot of potential. Consider the old swashbuckler vs knight problem. In d20 the knight has a major advantage because of higher numbers on his weapons/armor. But under such a system: The swashbuckler builds his [Gauge] by insulting opponents, precision a...

... is a stealth-focused tabletop RPG currently on Kickstarter. I figure with all the Shadowrun love around here you might be interested.

Teleporting things into people would allow you to teleport poison into humans, holy water into undead and silver into werewolves. Teleporting random bits of matter from the surrounding area still needs to take into account putting bits of lava into the Red Dragon.

In short, I'd say leave it as is.

Does the Favored of the Gods ability specify A Priest or ANOTHER Priest? Cause the second means no self-rezzing with Contingencies

I'm not even sure where you got the idea about swords being a symbol of justice. The SCALES are the symbol in the real world and as for D&D it depends on the god. Sure, all the largely interchangeable 'Justice' gods like Heironeous have Longsword as a favored weapon but what of Mayaheine (Bastar...

Non-Core Stuff Dude, that's all very well and good but I can't do any of that. Our game only uses PHB1 and PHB2. Maybe PHB3 for the Monk. Hence the title of the thread. Illusion Wizards and Familiars are Arcane Power which is very much out. :nonono: My current plan is to cry and beg for an Orb of F...

So our game died a natural death and it was decided that sufficient fun was had to continue playing 4e. Joy. I'm allowed to keep my crazy stats for a new char so I made a Wizard and a Monk and I was also thinking of a Dwarf Battlerager Fighter until I found out that requires Martial Power. Anyway, t...

If you want poison poured on Pathfinder, I'm game. I can tell you about the 'all feats ever' ninja, or the Knight of the Tome of Copy Spells and Play At Being Cleric Archer. Both of those are quite fun, and should build up my rage a bit. I'm game for some ranting and I always wanted to learn more a...

Thanks for the analysis shau. The armor idea seems cool so I'll do that. One question though: Why not Cause Fear?

Lago, are you seriously suggesting that in a disparity between the crunch and last edition's fluff we should support the crunch? What a ridiculous idea.

Man, I was one vote away from DMing a Tome game and now... this.

Just got back from CharGen. The bad news, I was told straight up that Battle Clerics use heavy blades and similar weapons. So no Rapier for me. I got a Bastard Sword since it seemed the least stupid choice available. I may or may not get a shield. The good news, we rolled for stats and I got really ...

Thanks for the info everyone. We start at lvl 1 since half the party are complete newbies. This is also the reason given for not being allowed to even look at any other book than PHB 1 and 2. Seriously, I'm supposed to pick where my character is from without knowing what the available choices are. B...

I am using a copied character sheet from the PHP1 and a pencil. And their opinion on errata is that they are not needed/wanted. I guess that bones us on skill challenges but I also got the impression they nerfed a lot of stuff so... yay? I might get them to approve of errata if it is all that import...

I'm kinda being forced into playing a 4e game and I chose to play a laser cleric. Because, you know, somebody needs to keep the party alive. The other players are mostly unknown but we'll probably have an Archer Ranger and an Orbizard if I have anything to say about it. We play FR, PHB 1 and 2 only ...

Sorry for the thread necromancy but could someone refer me to Frank's Epic Progression for the Fire Mage that Kumei was talking about? Because it sounds hilarious.

I thought you were being flippant...

Prak_Anima wrote:w-why did no one tell me this referred to a much more epic anime?

I... kinda took it for granted that people would know what I was talking about. Sorry about that.

So I started writing myself. I focus on drabbles that explore original ideas, mostly power-ups or new ways to solve old problems.

I think you're right, but a horcrux is some pretty major magic, and the instruments on a ship can be pretty damned delicate. I was just speculating, but there's no reason it couldn't be fine. I don't know man. We have no idea how the damn spells works. In d20 terms, if it's Instant and not Permanen...

As far as I remember, the whole magic disrupts technology was specifically about Hogwarts. Too much background magic or something.

OK, the good: Nobody Dies is a NGE fic in which Ikaru Yui never died. This produces MASSIVE changes and lots of weirdness. Highlights include a girl's night out for the female staff of NERV while Commander Ikari is playing RPGs with his son, Asuka's dad Pieter Sohryou defeating an Angel-spawn with a...

Shinji and 40k? Oh dear. I've seen Ranma 1/2 crossed with 40k (and with Doom), and Slayers with Eva. All are at least as bad as they sound. Shinji and 40k is weirdly good. I prefer A.R.S.E.N.A.L. and Nobody Dies myself. But X+40k is considered an instant Add Awesome recipe in the fanfic community. ...

On a barely-related note, I stumbled into this fanfic called Hi Power and it is awesome.
