Choke Babies Now posted:I like this title far too much. I vote for this as well. farraday posted:Having never actually played D&D I'm currently wondering how the gaming dynamic where characters are lost and new ones created will mesh with the needs of a storyline where such an event might not make a lot of sense You mean how would it work in a game? When players' characters die they just roll up a new character and the DM figures out how to introduce the new character into the campaign. This might be by having them control an NPC that they had been working with, or they might meet them along the path of their adventure, or they might just happen to meet them at the next tavern they stop in and join up together for no reason.

Mushrooman posted:I'm sorry if it was already brought up, but what game is this? Warlords the CCG. Fairly good game, but losing popularity rapidly. It also suffers from having too many expansions making it too complicated (kind of like DnD!) but this is one of the first cards ever made for it.

rantmo posted:I miss Warlords, it's a fun game but I never played after the first expansion. I actually have a card that's me, I know two of the three creators, so it's always been near and dear to me. I've never played the actual RPG though, I wonder if it's any good. Whoah, like an official card or a custom card? They let you submit your own designs at one point, was it that deal? My friend got one published, but they changed it slightly:  It was originally called Rod and Tod.

There's no picture at the link, but here's the card image: That is completely awesome. About the picture, though, that's why I was using the Temple of Lore:  The Temple of Lore is a fansite that is so good it got made into its own card:

Vanadium posted:There is also the various barrable wizard schools and dozens of prestige classes with their own spelllike abilities, and druids who do not need to worship a concrete deity to cast divine spells, and psionics, and probably a bunch of gimmicks I am not even aware of that also have access to different sets of spells. For all my atheist character would know, clerics just tap into yet another non-sentient extraplanar energy source that just happens to manifest itself through other spells than arcane magic. Not to mention that you can be an atheist cleric. I did that in a Ravenloft campaign. I can't remember the name of it, but there's a whole church based around the idea that the Gods aren't real and that anyone can do what those so-called "faithful" can, and since Belief Makes Right, they actually can do it. It's pretty awesome, especially since there was a cleric of the Morninglord in the party.

And that logic works perfectly for the Forgotten Realms, but remember that the Realms are hardly the only DnD world. Proving to your average Ravenlofter or home-brewed campaigner that the Gods exist could be much more difficult.

I love Goblins, and while the goblins aren't classical looking I certainly don't think they look bad. I don't find the plots hard to follow at all, just do what I do and check every month or two for updates.

Cabbit posted:Think of it this way: when a police officer shoots somebody in the line of duty, in order to save a life, is he committing a crime? If a murderer gets put to death by the state, are they committing a crime? Say a criminal's assets are stolen, and put up for sale at a police auction-- is that a crime? The definition of a crime is "forbidden by the state." Following this logic, the definition of an evil act in D&D would be "Paladins don't do it."

Cabbit posted:The definition of "a non-Lawful Good act" can certainly be "Something a Paladin won't do", I would think. No, you've got to have it the other way around. The definition of "something a Paladin won't do" can be "a non-LG act" but if you've got it the other way around then you could have Joe Jackass the Paladin who enjoys torturing babies, and since a paladin is doing it it isn't an evil act. See what I mean? quote:The difference here is that in my comparison, I was going for more of a "Paladins are police" thing than a "Paladins are state and national lawmakers" thing. That still doesn't particularly work, because police can break the law without repercussions the vast majority of the time. So by your logic, being that Paladins are agents of capital G Good, they can do all the evil acts they want and get away with them. quote:Any git with a sword and divine power can club a heretic and call it a crusade. A Paladin does it with grace and humility. That's the point. I completely disagree. The "jackass Paladin who cares only for himself/his order/his church but is convinced he's doing Good, and his deity agrees" is a strong archetype for a reason. In 4e Paladins can only be the same alignment as their deity, whatever that deity's alignment is. To me, that makes a lot more sense. The definition of "Paladin" is "Holy Warrior," not "LG guy who follows a strict code of honor that does not vary from individual to individual."

In my campaign there are no half-orcs because the different races physically can't breed with each other, but there are good orcs that the PCs can play as so perhaps the solution is to be more open-minded in your fantasy gaming???

The big point of having certain spells be rituals instead of regular spells is so that anyone can cast them. Now the Ranger can use Animal Companion if he wants to, the Rogue can use Knock, etc. So basically what SlimGoodbody said.
