Some Dragons are exactly like that, though; they're the extremely dangerous ones. No there aren't. Dragons definitionally guard valuables. Your statement is as sensible as "the best fire elementals are not composed of or in any way associated with fire" or "owlbears possess no simila...

The other thing to note is that it's not normally possible to use more than 2 Healing Surges in a combat anyway. You have a Second Wind and the Leader type has some sort of power that lets you use another one. So the Warden having 4 healing surges for the encounter is about the same as hm having in...

Can a someone more concerned with avoiding error than achieving success spend edge to reroll just the ones?

It's a classic fantasy heartbreaker except the only rpg the creators ever read wasn't AD&D, it was Rolemaster.

In AD&D and OD&D, spell ranges and areas were calculated in "inches". A table inch was 6' underground and 10' above ground. So outside your fireballs were literally larger than when you cast them inside. 10 feet inside and 10 yards outside in AD&D1 and 2. which edition were yo...

If you are set on having 100 levels, don't make level 1 the starting level for PCs. Make it 5 or 10 or something.

This gives you room to put bystanders and cannon-fodder on the level scale, and gives new PCs enough abilities to provide tactical interest without overloading the first level.

Presumably, it's either done to make sure no one player can do too much, Or too little, like the 3.x Monk. I honestly think the 4E devs included roles because of WoW more than anything else. They included roles, for the same reason that WoW did, namely that D&D has had them since the 70s and th...

Might want to make this 5 points, carrying capacity doubles every 5 points of strength.

Speaking as someone who enjoys Exalted, if you're interested in minimizing GM prep, then Exalted is not the game you want.

It's still total ass though with a reflex save. I mean this is a 7th level spell, and the best it does is fail a save to trap someone, that can be fixed by just dimension dooring out. As opposed to finger of death which will outright kill. Finger of Death does casterlevelx2d6 damage in PF. If they ...

Unless it's vital to your character concept to start the game as a Sorcerer, I'd advise waiting on Essence 3. Buying up Essence is much cheaper with experience than Bonus points.

Also Appearance is the social combat God stat if you're doing it in person.
