The Gaming Den

This is the most impressive necro I've seen here.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page is entertaining if you've never gone through their articles before. I spend a lot of time on Quora, but if you're not into tech then it may not have very much to offer. I also feel obligated to mention that there are a lot of silly and/or repetitive questions ...

I enjoy playing ARAM in LoL. While this is much simpler than the other available game modes, it does cater to players who enjoy the teamfighting aspect of the game more than the laning phase. Perhaps HoTS implements this poorly (I have no knowledge of it beyond this thread), but a MOBA doesn't requi...

How do you determine what magical equipment to give to NPC's? Do you just assign them normal treasure, or outfit them like PC's?

I didn't think so either. I will miss Full BAB clerics.

Are Divine Metamagic and other metamagic cost reducers intended to be compatible with your/Kaelik's Metamagic Level system (i.e. do clerics no longer get Persisted Divine Power at 7th level)?

Good point - magic items need to be factored into CR calculations...unfortunately we don't have NPC gear guidelines for the Wish economy. Still, being an Ogre 4 seems underwhelming compared to a Tome Barbarian 4. EDIT: On second thought, if the +1 ECL is supposed to correct for better than elite arr...

At least for the Level 5 SGT, unless bypassing a challenge counts as defeating it I don't think the Beguiler performs very well. The Beguiler has no way to deal damage and take advantage of Glitterdust, Hypnotic Pattern etc, and has only one outright Save or Win ( Charm Person ...which doesn't even ...

The monster conversion methods given are not calculating the ECL correctly. Using the elite array supposedly increases the CR of a creature by one. A PC who plays as a powerful race under these rules is treated as 1 ECL higher AND receives penalties to stat modifiers as if the original entry used th...

I think Suggestion is a shoe-in for this class.

EDIT: What do you envision as optimal play for this class? How does it deal with encounters featuring monsters with high will saves or immunity to mind affecting?

I'm not sure what you mean - as they don't use them their effectiveness won't be altered, so their CR shouldn't change. Are you asking if beefing up the abilities of the characters will make the monsters easier and therefore effectively lower their CR's? Because in that case I would probably say no...

While we don't have enough nuclear weapons to atomize all of Earth's surface, nuclear fallout affects an area much wider than the original blast radius.

The Book of Gears mentions that constructs are no longer immune to critical hits. Does this mean in Tome games they are vulnerable to sneak attack?

Is Infernal Taint meant to replace Product of Infernal Dalliance? Same question for Innate Invisibility and Fiendish Invisibility.
Also you mention a feat named Fiend Blooded in the 2nd paragraph of your first post which doesn't appear anywhere else.

Was the feat Toxic Magic meant to apply to spells, or only Spell-like and Supernatural abilities?

Do you think your magic item reworks will impact the CR's of monsters that don't typically utilize magic items?

How exactly is a flask rogue supposed to work in a Tome game? I can't find a Tome feat which contains Quick Draw.

It seems to me that without strong evidence for the existence of a god(s), the only logical argument a devout person could make is a God in the gaps argument.

I have stopped lurking only to say that this thread was probably the most educational piece of writing I have read in forever. I feel smarter just reading it

so...what are the 2nd, 19th, and 20th level spells?

Ok, I've been thinking about the balancing of this feat some more, and it really just needs to be balanced against the Product of Infernal Dalliance. So how does this look? (thanks Avoraciopoctules for the shaken idea) Product of Celestial Dalliance You may take any [Celestial] feat and you radiate ...

I never thought anyone would make a feat worse than Avoracalnalkdsfj, but you sure fucking did. Failtastic. I guess that's a no. How would you make the feat then? One that isn't front-heavy and combines the actual abilites of the archon with higher level abilites that are appropriate (such as the s...
