Law enforcement wants to minimize collateral damage and protect innocent people when ...

Stahl please don't just post whatever bullshit Alex Jones feeds you. Seriously I thought people on this site knew better.

I don't think that exists (except as quickened True Strike)

Blade of Blood is ok, by all rights the Dusckbalade shoud be geting wraithstrike and Combust from the SpC that alone is enough to push them from borederline to viable

ER = move a bit faster for one round. Eh. It's passable but I'd take more Nerveskitters over it any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Fly = 1 round flight is basically useless. A glitterdust or web is not. Next! You also kind of need those swift actions for other wands. Maybe my opinion is colo...

Normal invis would take two rounds to get a single attack. The entire Swift (spell that normally is a Standard and lasts much longer than one round) line is pointless though for that reason. I've gotten some use out of Expeditious Retreat, Swift and Fly, Swift they're good at levels 5-8 because the...

Mr. GC wrote:Nope. Breaks after one attack = useless.

Then what's the point of ever casting swift invis. if you can't get a full round of attacks out of it. Normal invis is the same level.

[quote="Mr. GC]Blinking = strike as invisible. Most optimizers are not nearly as capable as they think they are.[/quote] Just checked the Srd again and yes it does specifially say you strike as invisible (now that I think about it would an item of swift invs. be more eficient for out of core ga...

Seriously. Me Same Game Testing a flask rogue on their boards scared them so much that they removed encounters that the players weren't expected to win from consideration in the official game space. Also, they nerfed every single piece of equipment on the basic flask rogue (down to the bandoleer!) ...

Well probaly a TPK aginast the Lich King means you're all going to have to roll up new characters to fight the zombie apocalypse. Which many now include the old PCs. That's how I'd handled it anyway.

DMs stealth nerf combat for just this reason. Actually letting PCs find out that they can't lose the combat ruins the illusion that they've been winning by their skills. Is that even possible I know I've gotten good at spotting when the DM is throwing softball, so is it even possible to mantain the...

From everything I've learned, it seems Marx was completely right about what was wrong with capitalism, mostly right on what policies where needed to fix what was wrong, but dead wrong on how to actually put his ideas into place.

Would that be a fair summation?

Let me chime in as a hopeless optimist. Yes their are still bad things things out there, wrongs that remain unrighted, and new injustices arise everyday. Think how far we have come. 1000 years ago most humanity toiled in the dirt without end and still went to bed hungry more often than not. Illness,...

So that rules out DnD because failing at DnD leads to the DM taking your character away from you and you wandering off to play Smash Bros. It's profoundly not fun to lose at DnD and most DMs nerf encounters and plots and stealth buff PCs in order to insure player success. The thing is that if you c...

So in the OP you're saying that



We need to go deeper

YEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well people do play 4e. ^_^

Since I'm not getting a lot of feedback I thought I'd give a quick sketch of the setting. Like I said before the the Nanoha setting is an odd blend of Science Fiction and Fantasy much of the tech is implied to be partially magical and mages use Devices hand-held computers in the shape of magic stave...

Well as an aside to the "magical" vs "martial" issues with suspension of disbelief and arbitrary 'realism' limits I don't think that either "fighters" or "wizards" should be in D&D. Instead of fighter, there should be more flavorful and slightly less limi...

aren't 1 and 2 basically the same thing? Ki superpowers, or crazy Ex Abilities are basically the same thing, from a fix perspective. It's just a power-source fluff difference. (Ex) has more limits on what you can plausably get from but it's not as blatant a reworking of the class so it offends grog...

Yes. Yes they do. Also, as MGuy points out, they will freak the fuck out if you mention that this is what they are doing. Basically, read anything Elensar ever says: there is a fundamental contradiction in that they genuinely want to face dragons and witches without the necessary abilities to be ab...

Abilites that efect the plot on a meta level aren't most players prefered cup of tea, I also worry that those sort of abilites would be very anti-imersive. Theres also the question of why can't Prince Phillip just use his fairy drones for everything including dealing with orcs and why the fairies a...

The basic structure is that he's allowed to run around killing things with a sword, except that whenever he isn't good enough at that he gets showered with magical equipment until he is, and whenever that isn't even relevant to what he needs to do magic comes down in fairy form to remove the obstac...

[ Extraordinary abilities are nonmagical, though they may break the laws of physics. They are not something that just anyone can do or even learn to do without extensive training. And ask why magic is allowed to break them, but abilities that are described as possibly breaking it, may not break the...

The fighter has a nearly blank character sheet some people see that blank space as nothing some people see that blank space as EVERYTHING Wait, I thought that our position on this forum is we are opposed to MTP. Especially if it's supposed to take the place of large sections of the game. Not being ...

Why do you have skills? Sounds like a better idea to just group spells and let your players have fun or just pick some skills but in that case don't do a point system. Those will most likely be: A) max the ones you pick or B) suck Mostly to make specializing in groups of magic more meaningful. Also...

What sort of info do you want, like I said this I's my frist time designing anything for real.

Well designing an entire system anyway
