I think having everyone be a different level AND have different exp is a great idea because it encourages cheating, and it's funny to see people cheat at RPGs also level 14 is a great place to cap druids and isn't retarded or arbitrary at all

I don't know what you are talking about Humans are Superior. Elves can't even be raised from the dead and it takes them thousands of years to become archmages, where humans could do it in like 20. Dwarves are midgets, halflings are midgets, everyone else is basically prey. If you aren't human you aren't worth knowing

Tolkien felt that his true calling was to remove the poisonous french influence from his beloved English language, it's why he talks about a dragon's hoard rather than its treasure, since treasure is French

Hyperactive posted:I tend to agree. Keeping things to low levels and staying out of the menagerie of wildly unbalanced poo poo that's 90% of the books outside the core helps to cover it up, but yeah, it's ultimately an untenable system. My 5th level Monk has +17 to Acrobatics (except for when it's actually +37). I don't even care about Acrobatics, it's just gotten that high. Why is anything +17 on a fifth level character?! my favorite part of 3.5 is a plan I made called "vorpal swords for everyone" where a level seven bard casts magic aura on a bunch of masterwork items to replicate the party's most expensive equipment a bunch of times, then sells them all, using glibness to pass any sense motive checks the merchants might make and disguise to make themselves impossible to recognize when the con is found out. There were a couple of other great spells in that plan but that was the gist of it. Anyway you use the money to buy all the best magic stuff in the city while under yet another disguise, and the party is pretty well set for life. actually my favorite part of 3.5 was using a scroll of polymorph any object on a wizard's imp familiar so you could permanently have a balor familiar at level 1 Unfortunately I've never felt like being a dick to a DM dumb enough to let me do either of those, I'm just not hardcore enough Ulta posted:Lets insult 4th ed by comparing it to a game that has 11+ million players, was a compilation of everything that was done right in the genre so far, and took its hobby into the mainstream!

D&D has never had a truly vancian magic system. Magic items in D&D have class requirements or you need the use magic device skill. the whole point of the Dying Earth books is that a dude like Cudgel can just pick up a book and memorize some Pandalume's Prismatic Spray spells, or pick up a wand and start killing guys with Blue Concentrate actually giving fighters access to wands and even spells per day if they stole a spellbook could be done in a pretty cool way, wizards would still own them all over the place but not nearly as hard

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Except of course when the system is set up to have one class completely own at everything. the "best" way to deal with this is to force the wizard to use up all his magic and then don't let him rest for a few encounters. Unfortunately that really amounts to being a dick to the wizard so it's not any good either

Never fails, unless it's That Exalted Cover, they never pick up on what's actual poo poo and what's just embedded in a product they irrationally loathe. I would go and quote the relevant section out of that RPGnet post but I really don't want to read it again. is the exalted cover the one with the princess where you've got underboob and cameltoe and you can see the girls rear end from the front and her nipples are poking out because that one is actually a little bit gratuitous and she's an anime

If you don't think that moving the books thing is funny I dunno what to tell you, it just is. It's a humorous way to make the whole 4E = WoW complaint and be a dick to strangers at the same time. hte fact that he does it quietly with no fuss every time he goes into the store is just great

Riidi WW posted:achilles is definitely not the guy to emulate, though... he's a berserker who's nearly as dangerous to his friends as his enemies, he dies horribly and tragically, and his short life is filled with more pain and rage than happiness. Actually achilleus was the role model for everyone who lived in the Golden Age of Greece, he chose to accomplish something magnificent rather than live in cowardly anonymity, even though by his accomplishment he ensured his own death. Also he was extremely loyal to his friends and stood up to The Man. Achilles owns

Riidi WW posted:If your contention is that we should take the Classical Greeks as models then I will have to ask you to defend slavery. That's ridiculous. Achilles doesn't stand for slavery so there is no need to defend it, even if he himself did own slaves he doesn't represent slavowning, and his enslaving of others is not what makes him great. Also the things I mentioned are still valuable so Achilles is a good role model. We don't necessarily have to agree with everything the classical greeks did to know that their society was pretty cool and the things they valued are, on the whole, the things we value.

you don't understand, ugly people don't have anything and attractive people have so much. It's like the indians, first they got relegated to reservations and then when white people wanted those to even worse reservations. Except in this case the reservations are people's basements

Bedurndurn posted:Rope trick owns. Nothing says epic Tolkien-style fantasy like popping a hole in reality like Bugs Bunny. The only thing better would've been Power Word: Duck Season. if you want to gently caress with someone who overuses rope trick just give them an unidentifiable artifact that happens to be a pocket dimension or have some poo poo go down that cuts the rope dimension adrift on the planes. or decide that there is an interdimensional predator that is attracted to the casting of the spell and has a lure that looks like a rope, so that the wizard climbs right into its mouth

basically take any opportunity to gently caress with wizards. Also clerics, punish them if they pray while they aren't properly purified, punish them for not praying enough, punish them because their god is testing their devotion. gently caress all good classes

Alternately, make the Rope Trick less spammable by making it cost a non-trivial amount of gold/reagents to cast, or just making it so that there are ways for hostile creatures to gain entrance if they have a mage or something.
