2024-04-14, 08:19 PMI guess it depends on when you encounter them. I think genies (and wish-granting demons) work best as something for fairly low-level PCs to...70 replies | 3881 view(s)

2024-04-14, 04:40 AMPerhaps so, but ... People do manage to murder citizens of powerful nations and get away with it. If you publicize yourself as "Bob the Efreet...70 replies | 3881 view(s)

2024-04-14, 04:24 AMAs has been pointed out, the "compel service" part of Planar Binding is somewhat GM-dependent. However, Planar Binding also brings the creature...70 replies | 3881 view(s)

2024-04-13, 01:30 PMUsing concentration means you're just trading your actions for the enemy's though, and while Easy Concentration helps, SoP has a lot of other things...24 replies | 3007 view(s)

2024-04-11, 02:30 PMI think it (the initiative system) would work ok if all of the below applied: 1) The group's not playing in a challenge-oriented style, so...48 replies | 5794 view(s)

2024-04-10, 07:18 PMI guess my issue with minionmancy as PO is that while it's definitely possible in practice (I've done it as a player and GM'd for people using it),...93 replies | 6846 view(s)

2024-04-09, 02:40 PMIt should be noted that in many streaming TTRPG shows, they don't go into author stance in front of the audience, so a system which encouraged or...48 replies | 5794 view(s)

2024-04-09, 05:24 AMicefractal replied to a thread Most states have prisons, our prison has a state... in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20In that case it depends on the ruler's objective - do they specifically want to rule over people who hate them, as like a sadistic thing? Or do they...19 replies | 2047 view(s)

2024-04-08, 02:58 PMicefractal replied to a thread Most states have prisons, our prison has a state... in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20It depends on your goals - punishment, reformation, or just keeping the prisoners out of circulation? For the latter, a "prisoners in stasis"...19 replies | 2047 view(s)

2024-04-06, 05:22 AMLol, just thought of a rather strange but plausible reason - In a high-op high-level environment, Disjunction is a very powerful tool, as it...93 replies | 6846 view(s)

2024-04-06, 05:11 AMYeah, I was thinking more like a little utility casting for times when the party is split up. Not something that'll come up much, but the difference...93 replies | 6846 view(s)

2024-04-06, 02:28 AMAh - ok yes, if full minion-mancy is viable, then it's pretty much the apex of power. But IME, it isn't, not even in high-op games, for two reasons:...93 replies | 6846 view(s)

2024-04-05, 12:48 AMParty composition still matters. At most levels of optimization, there's a point where you get more benefit from a high-damage attacker than yet...93 replies | 6846 view(s)

2024-04-04, 02:57 PMIt's a bit cheese, but if we're talking optimized - because you already took Leadership, and your cohort has far superior casting to whatever you'd...93 replies | 6846 view(s)

2024-04-03, 08:14 PMPretty much. And I think that a "high lethality" game premise is going to require a general explanation for replacement members anyway. Like, even...55 replies | 4724 view(s)

2024-04-01, 05:36 PMI see no issue with going over 100%, but I think "real" is a simplification / poor wording. It's an emulation using shadowstuff, and just like an...20 replies | 2001 view(s)

2024-04-01, 03:27 PMWeird, I made this post yesterday but it seems to have vanished. Anyway, TL;DR - Sure, it doesn't need to be me. It doesn't need to be the GM...55 replies | 4724 view(s)

2024-04-01, 04:45 AMSure, it doesn't need to be me. It doesn't need to be the GM either. I'm saying I have a preference to create my own character, so how is "but it's...55 replies | 4724 view(s)

2024-03-31, 08:54 PMI think it's more that - Henchmen - accompany the PCs in on-screen dungeon crawling, therefore facing the full risks. Even if they're on the...55 replies | 4724 view(s)

2024-03-31, 06:20 PMI think the tricky thing is figuring out situations where a short rest is practical, but a long rest isn't. Exploring a ruin / tomb with static...16 replies | 2432 view(s)

2024-03-31, 05:13 AMSee, that's where I'd disagree - I think the analogy works well, because "someone making food for you" is not the same situation as "someone ordering...55 replies | 4724 view(s)

2024-03-30, 04:24 AMI mean, sure? Like if you're with someone you know, at a restaurant you've both been to, you could probably order for them and end up with something...55 replies | 4724 view(s)

2024-03-28, 08:12 PMI have mixed feelings on this. In concept it sounds like a good way to introduce new PCs, and the "growing the larger organization" part could be...55 replies | 4724 view(s)

2024-03-26, 06:40 PMicefractal replied to a thread 3.P (Including 3pp) - Every Single Spell and Power Known? in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20If we're entering the realm of borderline-TO (and with a goal like this, we kinda have to), then Spheres of Power has something very helpful. ...18 replies | 1378 view(s)

2024-03-25, 03:06 PMI think "once" is over-strict. There's a fair number of characters who could be described as: "started out as a good person, fell into evil (either...16 replies | 1458 view(s)
