Yesterday, 03:34 PMicefractal replied to a thread Evil character wielding an holy weapon for a Good purpose in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20Lol, true. I mean, I think most GMs would spot-rule that Holy weapons don't create undead, but that is technically how it works. And it seems...41 replies | 2198 view(s)

2024-03-17, 04:30 PMOut of curiosity, do the PCs still have the gem, or did they sell / lose it?7 replies | 445 view(s)

2024-03-16, 02:22 AMNo two fights are the same either, but yet, we manage to represent them with the same rules. To be clear, by "the same" I don't mean that all trees...106 replies | 6101 view(s)

2024-03-15, 03:30 PMFor reasons unrelated to agency, I'm not a fan of any mechanics that make rolling (or drawing cards, if that replaces rolling) something that must...106 replies | 6101 view(s)

2024-03-14, 04:03 PMicefractal replied to a thread Evil character wielding an holy weapon for a Good purpose in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20I wouldn't look to the BoVD / BoED as good sources for alignment if you're trying to take it seriously. They operate on a somewhat ascetic morality...41 replies | 2198 view(s)

2024-03-14, 03:47 PMHmm - interesting idea. It seems wrong on a sensibility level ("binding angels to torture them is a act" is so WTF that I think most GMs...13 replies | 1343 view(s)

2024-03-14, 05:12 AMMaybe you can get the devils to provide you some protection - you are impeding their competition after all. :smallbiggrin: Although then this does...13 replies | 1343 view(s)

2024-03-14, 04:47 AMIt could depend on how much the Glabrezu wants to work with you again in the future. They've got a wish per month that they can't use themselves, so...13 replies | 1343 view(s)

2024-03-13, 07:42 PMThe fact that a single normal ant isn't a creature by D&D rules and doesn't give XP. :smalltongue: Maybe if it's a big enough ant-hill that it...28 replies | 2173 view(s)

2024-03-13, 02:37 PMI'm with you on that! It's a big reason I like the 3E skill system better than the 4E or 5E ones (despite largely agreeing with the skill...71 replies | 7791 view(s)

2024-03-13, 03:01 AMI was assuming a thought experiment, because in an actual game the answer is 99% of the time going to be: As a player: No, you can't grind mobs to...28 replies | 2173 view(s)

2024-03-12, 08:15 PMOk, but now try to define "challenge" in an objective way (rather than 'the GM decides'). I've tried and it's not easy. Consider a situation like...28 replies | 2173 view(s)

2024-03-12, 04:40 PMThis gets into the whole "what does XP actually represent" thing. In normal gameplay, you can just handwave the exact connection between fighting...28 replies | 2173 view(s)

2024-03-10, 04:43 AMI'm of mixed feelings, because on the one hand, I do like having this big trove of different possibilities, and especially the fact that non-combat...19 replies | 1970 view(s)

2024-03-09, 05:22 AMicefractal replied to a thread Pathfinder My first shot at making a pathfinder 1e build in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20Technically speaking, the skills are wrong, but it's going to be same total numbers. You don't get x4 skill points at 1st level in PF1. Instead,...5 replies | 869 view(s)

2024-03-08, 04:57 PMPlease describe to me the approach you take to dungeon delving, knowing that basilisks exist. I don't really think "two different monsters" is...106 replies | 6101 view(s)

2024-03-08, 02:52 PMMaybe this is the disconnect for me? I've heard about these megadungeons where the party (or even different parties over time) kept returning to the...106 replies | 6101 view(s)

2024-03-07, 07:07 PMI'm not convinced that "knows" and "learns" are meaningfully different here. A Sorcerer "learns" spells, and then those become part of their "spells...83 replies | 7101 view(s)

2024-03-07, 03:25 AMI was going to ask why Swift Ready even was (Summoning), but on reading the description of the subschool more carefully, it's just weirdly defined. ...11 replies | 1819 view(s)

2024-03-03, 06:20 AMicefractal replied to a thread Pathfinder PF1 - why hadn't Paizo adopted most of 3.5's designs? in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20In the early PF1 days, being compatible was a big selling point, and few of us wanted to go from the plethora of content back to a single core book...30 replies | 3655 view(s)
