The Gaming Den

Just having players mix and match their moves would be stupid. Galatea uses her super strength to hold onto people and pummel them (a technique that converts potential knockback into more damage), and this constitutes a "power" in the 4e methodology. Similarly, a character with a differen...

Okay, other than the powers and hp you get, what is the functional difference between being a level 2-8 fighter and a level 2-8 ranger? That's crap. Past level 1, all your class does in terms of uniqueness is determine what powers you get. That's all fine and dandy, but if powers did something besid...

Considering the prior discussions RC has argued for, he likely wants 'nonmagical' to mean you can't even equate what they do to spells (no jumping fifty feet, for example). Then the only way these cocksuckering crybaby characters are going to get anywhere is by taking away everyone else's cool toys...

The gold standard is fucking stupid. It's so stupid that the fact that Obama has several economic advisers from the Chicago school (the Chile economy rape thing aside) makes me want to hurl. This website will go into some of the details below without all of my swearing. Enjoy, assbandits. http://www...

Unless, of course, this is just another clumsy and NOT HAMHANDED attempt to make it so that Gimli is viable in a game of, say, The Homoerotic Adventures of Gilgamesh. In that case, fuck him. I want my weeaboo fightan magic to let knock over buildings and let me fight with holes in my chest for days ...

Frank, I think RandomCasualty means that while he doesn't think that using the series Magic (with a capital 'M') should be necessary, people should still have enough phlebtonium to do whatever cool bullshit the story needs. In other words, I think that he thinks that Rock Lee should be a viable char...

What would you change? Me? 1) Fix the fucking multiclassing system so it isn't some candy-ass dip into another class where you waste feats and don't end up ahead unless you select something out-of-control. Actually, you know what? I think now is as good of any a time to just get rid of classes altog...
