I have vague, and probably wrong, recollections of an attorney/lawyer NPC class in some old dragon magazine or something.

A lot of people think so, but the Realms is nearly as open as Greyhawk is. If Greyhawk gives the DM 1% of the information about the world, the Realms gives 15% or 20%. Every city map has 95+% of the city maps unfilled in, so the DM can put in any churches, organizations, bars or whatever he...

No no. He genuinely hated ALL bards. Periodically after he posts enough eloquent OPs, he starts having difficulty reconciling his hatred of bards with what it is that he does, so he has to withdraw from the world for a while. Eventually he with enough creative justifications, he convinces...

It seems to me that if the court has never heard a case where the standard for IIED was met, given the sheer volume of cases over the last several decades(many of whom would have that cause of action in them), that there's a problem with the standard. There should have been at least some of...

I wonder how they get that information. According to Wizards’ internal studies of the player population, 60% of D&D players are male, 39% are female, and 1% identify otherwise; 60% are “hybrid” players, who switch between playing the game physically or online; and 58% play D&D on a weekly...

Not too long. I have it on good authority that he's a self-hating bard. ;)

That's why I will never play a D&D rules setting Middle Earth game. At least not the ones released so far. They don't make the elves and dwarves superior to the humans, so right out of the gate they fail to be Middle Earth.

I'm currently playing in a 3.5e game and have an 8th level wizard. I track my hit point rolls by level in case of energy drains. My hit point rolls(in front of the group) with max at 1st level are 4, 4, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 4. With my 16 con I'm feeling rather well compensated for rolling.

Judicial activism! Bench legislation!! I think he just wants to be able to buy tacos and burritos at that restaurant.

What makes you say that? Doh! There's another one. :(

Years ago at a game convention here in Los Angeles, one of my players got ahold of a PvP battle to the death sheet and wanted to try it on one of the game nights. The sheet allowed point buy or array, so we all made a copy and went home to create a character. The following week we all arrived...

It's both. It's a situation in that the changes as escalating rapidly and you have to adjust. It's a setting in that the campaign is set during this rapidly escalating ice age, which means glaciers forming. Crops failing. Fairly primitive(I assume) peoples. Ice age animals to be encountered...

It was in the 1e Unearthed Arcana.

Wow! Through all of 1e I could never find a DM who allowed that method, including me! It was too broken. Do your players have to pick class first, or can they just rank the stats and pick a class after rolling?

My players like to play heroes, so this is how we do it. The players pick two stats to roll 5d6-2L, two stats to roll 4d6-L, and two stats to roll 3d6 straight up. The 5d6-2L tends to go in the main stats for the class. Barbarians commonly see strength and con for instance. The 4d6-L go in...

I understand what you're saying, but the Greyhawk countries and city states aren't generally as insular as that. The 1e Greyhawk boxed set gives populations of the various states. The March of Bissel has a population of 50,000 and Demi-Humans: Some. Githzerai would have been classified as...

The grass is always greener. 3e made the attempt at being precise and that led to other issues that folks complained about and wanted changed. We got 4e and 5e as a result. Personally, I find myself less frustrated by the natural language model, but more frustrated by the "We aren't going to...

Listen, if you want the books and the DM screen to be upside down, go for it! :P

That's what happens when you repress words by being away for so long.
