The Gaming Den

That just proved the opposite, you know.

12 tribes thing is not unique to Jews, but, apparently, only they have conspiracy theorists claiming the existance on 13th tribe.

Wat.

TheFlatline: > I believe magic missile has a longer range than the longbow. No. Even if you use DnD rules (as Lago pointed out) that would be wrong. Moreover, real longbows were not precision weapons, but an "artillery". I.e. archers were targeting not individual people but areas/squads. ...

Brevet Levels Might be relevant as a part of "powered by belief" concept and nicely flesh out Deity system (I don't really like the idea of each lake, tree, and stone having an elemental, but there has to be some transition between mundane peasant and lightning bolt-throwing deity). tl;dr...

7 years don't look like bachelor's degree either.

My 2 cents - Homing Missiles. Requires 7th level Wizards (or 5th level Wizards and 5th level Cleric). No idea how optimal is that. 1) Gem magic from MoF - allows to make triggerable magic gems. 2) Make gems with updated (to cantrip in SpC) Amanuensis - (copies non-magical texts, triggers magical wri...

I'll rephrase CvC: War is mere continuation of economics by other means. What kind of economy does DnD Land have? Wish? Who is fighting whom? P.s. "This thread" started with discussion how great it would be to teach everyone Wizardry with moveable type printing press. My opinion: not reall...

> Magic Missile
Fun fact: Welsh archers could rain sharp pointy sticks on enemies from 300-400 yards (900-1200 ft.).

> But that's a stupid measure anyway, because suggests that the Warlock is broken
Well. That proves it then.

Iceweasel here. No bugs.

The only problem I had were fonts (but that was me messing up my own browser settings).

erik: > No... an army works as soldiers. I have no idea why you tried to shift gears with that wording. An army of first level wizards will roflstomp mundane opposition. When did an "army of beggars" begun to imply military strength of impoverished? Horde/millions/throngs of first level W...

erik: So, it boils down to: an army of first-level Wizards still has to get a real job and their abilities are mostly useless? Basically, being Wizard 1 is like being in rock band. It may look cool and will give you skills you can impress people with, but most rock bands members do not go on to bec...

nockermensch: > That being said, seeing how much people in D&Dland are expected to pay for a casting of dancing lights or cure light wounds is a decent start at figuring how is life there. So? How is life there? Really good, because there are lots of customers for expensive spells being sold ev...

Let me get this straight. Are you telling me that first level Wizard will get good job because of spellcasting prices in PHB?

> Whatever happened to the wiki that used to exist for this?
Necro-seconding this.

Is it completely lost to the Entropy?

> Pentium II 166
Unless something went horribly wrong it should be simply Pentium (or 266).

erik: > Are you up and using gold pieces converted by mass to dollars? Yep. > Fuck you. I will stop by Walmart and sell oil flasks for gold. Nope. Scribing spells requires "speshul ingredients". Nobody knows what that means. For all we know Wizards has to use liquid gold to write spells. ...

OgreBattle: > Couldn't you just have a bunch of skeletons scribing books instead? Surely there's some magical solution in D&Dland more impressive than moveable type. There are spells cantrips for copying books. Well, in 3.5 they are for Chained mass-detonation of Explosive Runes (or making gren...

I gave it a cursory look (by the second page I decided I'd rather step on d4 than actually play it), so I might be wrong (also sleep deprivation). But the task resolution was this: 1. GM decides what dice you will roll every time (game was a bit OCD about this), but players are explicitly supposed t...

Stats are 1-5, if I remember correctly.

Prak: Yes. Both to incoherent rambling and my point.

Also, solar eclipses and lots of other stuff. Priests were pretty badass when it came to peddling their religion to the masses. Gods were quite real to the average peasant.

> they still lived in the real world and their beliefs still existed in the context of no real miracles taking place and no deities personally showing up to do anything. Wat. They did. Every day. I.e. every day pagans had "incontrovertible proof" (tm) of miracles happening and deities per...

Count Arioch the 28th: > Rogue cohort (actually a wooden log I just got a very distinct feeling of deja vu. Did you write about it somewhere? Anyway. I guess spellbook is a bit dissociating for non-caster to lug around. I tried using prayer beads as alternative spellbook. Didn't last long though (p...

One could add something to fuel item creation.

Liquid XP with pumpjacks, OPEC equivalent in Xen'Drik and Argonessen precision bombing peacekeeping interventions?

Modern technologies? High-level DnD is neck-deep in transhumanism. Either way, if you are introducing advanced technologies, consider increasing the population. The Khorvaire has less population than 13th century France (~15 million people), while being 20 times larger. P.s. Binding (minimus/metamop...
