Did I ever tell you about the time I accidentally blew up a hospital trying to breach a wall?
Baleful Polymorph in 3.5 is pretty incredible. We we're visiting Pelors homeplane in a campaign where the deity of death is trying to take over the world, and then suddenly the demon/undead hordes started to invade. We, a cleric, a druid and a barbarian, ended up facing three demons with spiked chains. As we fight them, our druid says: "I turn one of them into a sheep". We're all like, you can't do that. So we check up on the rules, and boy, turns out he can. Sure, there is a check or two, but the demon doesn't succeed at all, and poof, demon gone.
We were all pretty impressed.
This one time a guy in my STALKER RP kicked a blast door so hard he killed everyone in the room behind it with the blast door when it flied out of the frame.
I knew starting the game with four sets of ID was a good idea.

3.5 druids and clerics are OP.

But they cant turn into a bear and poop lightning while spitting more bears. While casting a lot of spells.

The only thing they can't do here is pooping lightning and spitting out bears while being a bear, otherwise they can do everything here, and they can polymorph into much stronger things than mere bears.
Elowin, tell the ladies and gentlemen about our Mutants & Masterminds game.
[QUOTE=Cam00;39353066]Why not? The abyssal bloodline looks like it would tie in with a melee character.[/QUOTE]
Because caster classes scale with level, and by cheating yourself out of six levels for a caster class, you'll always be sub par and largely useless at both of your 'strengths'.
I should probably make a good OP for 3e thread, once the time has come.
A detective CoC game would be pretty cool.

Too bad its impossible to find GMs
Cthulu mythos sucks

I wouldn't worry about it, there's still over 7000 posts until it gets locked, and that's a very long time in a slow thread like this.
So I managed to make the party completely shit themselves during the last session.
Sadly it also means that the party is constantly pestering me for more sessions.
I didn't intend for the game to go in a horror direction but I played it so well I'll probably have to switch the BBEG completely and abandon all previous plots.

This was the theme of the session. I think it says enough.

So how do I RP effectively as a barbarian with 7 Int and 7 Cha? I doubt I can do anything besides kill stuff.

What's your Wisdom at? Sure you're lacking in brainpower and people skills but it might be because you've yet to find yourself in a situation that couldn't be solved with an axe or clobbering someone.
Consider going the way of the [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleSavage]Noble Savage[/url]

In the rare event you have a good idea no one will listen to you.

I prefer to think that true neutral and chaotic neutral are just normal attitudes. Just do what they feel they want/need to do with no real code or list of duties, chaotic caring less about laws and contract type stuff

Well CN can be interpreted a number of ways, it could be a complete disregard of convention or it could be the act of deliberately going against societal norms in order to stand out or make a point or whatever. It's probably the toughest alignment to play convincingly so a lot of people just tend to interpret it as being TOTALLY RANDOOOM

Which is what i personally hate the most out of any other play-style. Just because you are chaotic doesn't mean you have to be ridiculously random all the time and just because you are lawful doesn't mean you have to have a stick up your ass the whole game either, Evil doesn't have to be total douche out to murder innocents for no reason 24-7 and good doesn't ALWAYS have to do the right thing. Mixing it up is what makes it fun and develops character, what would the character do, not what would their alignment do

I've very rarely seen insanity played well. A while back I saw someone's write up of a Fey-pact Warlock that was beginning to suffer mentally from the effects of Fey magic and it was probably the best example of "insane" CN I'd seen.
If a character ever knowingly admits they're insane then alarm bells immediately start ringing for me. Insane people don't think they're insane, if anything they think they're the only sane ones left.

(Though with him, you never really know.)
Speaking of insanity, how many people here would like to play Call of Cthulhu?
I could GM that shizzle.
