Armor is a hard number – no chance of metagaming there – either it blocked the knockout or it didn’t. Passwall could have a similar counter if walls had a fortification level – a high enough fortification would prevent Passwall from working. But then you’d need mechanics for improving Passwall and f...

Every time. Minor changes are necessary and acceptable, even appreciated. But major deviations end up just ruining it for me.

Crap! Missed the armor restriction on Monk!

I won't be changing Slisk's costuming, but his soak just dropped a great deal.

Depends on the suggestion. Winter Haven NPCs used it very well on a number of PCs - the suggestion left no room for interpretation for timing and action.

Magic arrows contain the call ‘Vorpal’, as in ‘3 Vorpal Magic’, meaning a 3rd level Monk is immune to that attack from the front. Monks are basically immune to every ranged damage attack (to the front) except booms, which is pretty awesome. Having Meditate means never having to go through surgery. A...

That event was one of the very BEST I've been in! :D Guess the Warrior Path is the one for me, 'cause I had an absolute blast. Easy fights, challenging fights, and impossible fights - this event had it all and kept me thirsty for more! RP with PCs and NPCs alike was terrific. Being awakened multiple...

As I recall you chose to sleep in a heated building that night. Which you should do, if you fear conditions may become a safety or health issue. But if you're properly prepared and in the right mindset, weathering harsh conditions can be a fantastic RP experience.

Doesn't matter to me. I've slept in an unheated cabin through a night of -17 deg. F at a February Shifted Lands event. Talk about no out-of-game - had to sleep in full gear to stay warm! It was a nifty experience. Staying in-game helps a lot. If you go out of game mentally when you go to bed, discom...

Fake armor can often be removed in under a minute. Real armor may take more than 10. Real armor is heavy and clunky - exhausting and painful to don and remove. Some armor even requires help from others to take off or put on. Real armor gets a bonus to prevent warriors wearing it from spending an add...

Another question:

Fake armor must be removed to be repaired, so you could be getting healed while your armor was being repaired.

Now, as real armor doesn't have to be removed, can someone also be repairing it while you're symultaniously being healed?

FYI - I don't see a problem with FH using the CARPS trailer - I'm sure everything would be reasonably put back where it was (especally with so many CARPS players there to help). We have weapon and shield phys-reps up the wazoo, so having them seeing some extra use isn't likely to be a problem (no bi...

Amagus, who’s been spending far more time in the Inn than in his cave over the past month, can’t help but take note of one of the signs.

“Bah! If these people have so much extra time and energy on their hands, they ought to do something that’s actually useful!”

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for volunteering/making the effort!

The next CARPS event is the Bloodmoon event that traditionally offers up the ookiest plots of the year and involve mass combat. This year a number of significant storylines will reach their conclusion or otherwise undergo serious advancement. And, yes, great battles are planned. As such do I request...

Seems to me that Backstab is pretty easy to use in the open field. NPCs are typically outnumbered in battle, and so it’s easy for a rouge Rogue to circle around behind the NPCs while they are distracted by other PCs and hit ‘em in the back. I’ve seen a number of rouge Rogues use their backstab frequ...
