... To ask the obvious -- no one else has so far -- do you impose a hefty circumstance penalty if a *player* doesn't jump up, draw his weapon, and convincingly...
... combat ... player ... It has been pointed out to me that D&D is oftentimes a game of permissions; I roll the dice, I ask the DM if my number hits, the DM ...
... It would be easier to see it from the DM's point of view if the NPC's were allowed to use the same tactics against the PC's. "The evil Bard just rolled a...
Is it any wonder why DM's treat combat ... It certainly isn't a wonder. The diplomacy system in D&D had hardly ANY thought put into it, especially when...
There should be a limit as to how far diplomacy can shift opinion IN COMBAT - after all, all you can get out of an awesome Intimidate is 'shaken', and then you...
no, howver the player needs enough knowledge of combat tactics for positional advantage.. ie: the player needs to know how to flank, know when to fight...
For what it's worth, remember that diplomacy checks usually take 10 minutes. Trying to use diplomacy as a full round action is made at -10. I would further...
Sorry, nope. Do you require that the player making a Knowledge planes check have some knowledge of how the planes work? Or does the rogue have to tell you how...

I recently played a Sheldormar valley meta-regional that I believe had some Forgotten Realms spells in it. Is it okay if I have my cleric ask her deity for...
First of all the reason why I ask this question of the writers is because in the mods I have read it isn't clear that alternative means other than combat can...
... Look at it this way: combat isn't about just saying "my guy rolls a 32 to attack, the guy's dead, right?" Neither is diplomacy. Rolling well on an attack...
But you see here is a problem with doing it your way, the PC is the diplomat not the player. If the skill check is good enough the diplomat (the PC) DID know...
... Those aren't reasons for applying circumstance penalties to Diplomacy checks when a Player simply makes a check without role-playing first. They apply to...
Sure it's ok to ask your Diety for a spell, but the answer is always NO unless you have acess to the spell via Campaign Documentation. Seeing someone else cast...
... Yes, but the player has the clues and has to put these together. That is the fun of the game. D&D is not rolling a few dice and then say "I win". Part of...
