Or perhaps a more IC "tell" like echo from a mob the instant you log in (the echo just looks like a 'tell' of course, it isn't ACTUALLY one...). Perhaps (just say) Elminster enchanted the postal service's amulets of communication to be able to still track down those that have been detuned....

I must say, its been about a half a year since I discovered Wikipedia, and I've looked up all sorts of things (I thought) I already had a good grasp of. But I never thought to Wikipedia Tyr... :shock: Thanks Gwain! This'll probably help me too. :D Also, althought it may not be worth mentioning, in p...

I picture the effects being thus, for an example, fireball. Normally, as per DnD, you cast the spell, and a little bead shoots out, flies to the target, and detonates. A fireball envlopes most everything in the blast radius (sometimes great than, with certain situations [Never, never cast a fireball...

According to the DnD PHB, some feats are stackable, some are not. THose that are 'stackable' (for simplicity's sake, Stackable means you can take the feat multiple times), are stackable in one of two ways. Either each level applies a diffrent way (Weapon Focus, as an example, is stackable. Each time...

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'd love to see PC to PC interaction in the court. My suggestion was mearly something that came to mind while I typed, so I typed it. I figured that if anyone thought that crimes against mobs would be too 'mundane' to be judged by a PC, because the offended was an NPC, then t...

Personally, I doubt the Half-imm suggestion shale be given much weight. It just seems like an awfully lot of power to give to a Player... The ability to jump into mobs. But, hey, its a suggestion, and this is my opinion. Only time will show what does and doesn't end up in effect. However, the issue ...

Possible, but how do we enforce a level of faireness? What if the person magistrating is a friend of the criminal? Even Worse.... What if they hate the guts of an Innocent man wrongly accused? That sort of system has enough flaws where I'm pretty sure Waterdeep would not have instated it. Though, it...

Glim, from what I'm picturing... (which, seeing as this is in discussion, nothing is offical) 1 - As much as it ICly would. Obviously, a character who belives more in fairness and justice won't vote not-guilty just to get a friend off the hook on the stand. However, like I said, ICly, people are cor...

This is an idea I'm really fond of, for probably obvious reasons :D However, with a multiple Magistrate system, or even a singular one, you must realize that people have real lives, and not everyone is always on at the same time. For Waterdeep, five active magistrates would be a nice number, where t...

I told each and every one of my players this when I DMed a game, and I belive the mud has adopted a policy very similar. If your character has an int and wis of 6, they're not going to be the brightest coin in the pouch. Act that way. No, its not fair your character is going to walk into situations,...

Ahh, but who is to say the half-orc's intelligence isn't particularly high? Just because the sterotypical half-orc is a blockhead, doesn't mean they don't have their Einsteins. But to answer your questions, yes, you should fall into traps. A noteable example that comes to mind, is once my character ...

Faith quests, I belive, are not your typical quest. In your typical quest, you set out on an adventure with the intent of reaching a goal. In the process, you become better at what you do, and thus gain experience. In a faith quest, its more you prove your devotion to a god/goddess, you do soul sear...

In new D&D, initiative is determined per round, so, you only get the benefit of surprize, if you have it, for one round. Suprise applies for one round, because you get a suprise round. But in 3.5, Init is checked at the start of the battle, and remains constant unless someone's Init check chang...

Er, doesn't "Barely Missing You" mean "It missed you, but just barely"? So it indeed DID miss, but it almost didn't. Dictionary.com defines Barely as: adv. By a very little; hardly: could barely see the road in the fog. So thus, barely being able to see means you can see, but onl...

Er... I think Velsavius is speaking in reference to a Mob, not a Player Character... A lot of resources on popular locations include NPC stats, so DMs don't have to invent them on their own. I belive that Velsavius's location has such an NPC in the description, but his class is Barbarian instead of ...

According to my photocopy of the Aasimar entry in Races of Fearun that I managed to get from my friend, Aasimar are the decendents of Celestial or Divine beings. Now, I personally, before I create my Aasimar, wish to choose a Celestial being to decend from. However, my accsess to reference material ...

This is not really about being faithed but a rp issue. Let's say your from the priest class and you are unfaithed. How should the RP be carried out? I mean priestly spells are supposed to come from the gods. But then what happens if the god you want to follow has yet to acknowledge you? How should ...

Good point Sean, but that, in effect, makes accumulated Kismet worthless. Accumulated Kismet isn't worthless... If you read the topic link I provided :P It will basically depend. Some things like ability to make an evil char or start in a certain hometown where we only want experienced players, we ...

I normally don't throw in my opinon into matters, but I feel as if this topic warrents such an occasion. Why is total kismet unsatisfactory for the purposes of race purchasing? Lets put togeather an example: Say I save up (Random number) 2000 Kismet for a planetouched character. Now, if the system s...
