@GhotiandChips got a link to show pigeon post(s) are still being used as a viable method of communication today?

+1 for the TMNT reference!

and not having a right or wrong answer it couldn't be posted on the main site

well it was an interesting question

he was a lich

AND if they did so under a flag of truce, for the big bad to break it (basically you aren't supposed to do that)

I was wondering if you'd allow the PCs to meet the big bad

and as I said, there were no mechanics for it in AD&D

But getting a neat ability out of it after death was kinda worth it

What's funny is that even if they disagreed with him/ thought him crazy, they still followed him as a the group's leader

affect undead with music/ bardic performance

er 3.0/ 3.x

ended up getting what would have been a feat in 3.5

My character died... and before he was raised, he talked with the gods

It did... but it ended up all right

Actually my group told my they thought he was crazy

It was a session between games, and it was while the others were resting

One on one game with the DM online. He did stuff like this

Would you allow them to (essentially) break the "flag of truce"?

(albeit magic, but still...) anyways, would you allow a PC to meet with the "big mad " of the story line to discuss their decisions?

But he left me with a parting "gift" as it were. He marked me somehow as a tracking device (how he would know he'd need such a spell is beyond me)

Surprisingly enough he agreed to meet with me and we discussed his turn to evil, and I gave him his deceased wife's belongings back.

So under a flag of truce I had him contacted and met him without the knowledge or permission of my fellow party members

Anyways, we found his old wife's belongings stuffed away in a warehouse, and I was determined to play the "good guy" and make sure he got them back (after all what were we to do with them)

er dark side

I was playing a CN ranger/ bard in AD&D. The DM had houseruled a lich was a former paladin, had a wife and had turned to the dark size by the fact that his wife died

Hey all, I had an roleplaying question about something I did a LONG time ago in a game and was wondering what others thought about a PC doing such a thing

the main goal, the passageways locks and doors themselves aside, is to allow the PCs to get from point A to point B in town unobserved (and some places outside too), and faster than going through the streets.

anyways, I'll putz around with figuring out if i want to use this or maybe make the system easier to steal/ obtain the secrets to the doors/ passageways.

Even if i set the lock (not door) DC to be low, unless they can figure out to stick their arm shoulder deep into it, it's useless. And there are a million inconsequential things I tell the PCs that they think are meaningful, so it's not always easy to get them to pat attention to what's important

like roleplaying vs roll playing.

actually it works in other areas perfectly well... just not on THOSE doors

(yeah based on charges, but cast knock on the ring and it recharges)

They're approaching level 6. And the rogue has a a ring of knock, which the lock doesn't respond to.

@Miniman and this is a bad thing?

er filled

the zelda franchise is filed with stuff like this

you fly, great, you get to explore these others

You shrink, great, you get to explore these small areas

As you get more abilities, you can explore new areas

@Miniman it's an idea I get from - of all places video games. Platformers to be specific.

@Shalvenay that would cause undue destruction to city property if done all the time. Try something like that and you'd have half the town collapse as there are passageways like that snaked throughout the town

Maybe the goal is to get them easy access to all these hidden passageways easily, and without the headache of having to do so every time

what are they going to do, cast shone shape on each?

But there's a WHOLE NETWORK of such passageways

yeah, that's possible, not very practical, but it would take a minute to figure out how, but if the pcs had the patience I'd allow it

That's part of phasing through the door, as I said above

not that type of a door... unless you want to make a (censored) lot of noise and alert others of your presence

the door itself isn't unopenable, the LOCK is.
