There is mention made of getting experience simply from using one's skills (crafting magical items by oneself, defusing a tense situation with minimal deaths on both sides, etc) but given that most people's skills are combat-based, you go right back to killing.TieDyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986869699796314972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808106293896831146.post-51374392049845730072008-06-10T09:34:00.000+01:002008-06-10T09:34:00.000+01:00Obviously sages who guide initiates of Kord have a...Obviously sages who guide initiates of Kord have a different take on the world than most sages do.Insanodaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242489353812329703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808106293896831146.post-76501887243623639752008-06-09T16:49:00.000+01:002008-06-09T16:49:00.000+01:00Actually what the sage said was:"You are not a tra...Actually what the sage said was:<BR/>"You are not a traveling UN Special Corps patrol or ladies knitting group. You are an armed bunch of thugs after glory and treasure. This is how the world is designed."<BR/><BR/>"Stand facing a demon from the depths of hell: The demon dies. Stand before orcs and they shall be dispatched with a cleaving axe. And a swinging Greatsword shall be the only food for armed humans with treasure."<BR/><BR/>"The only people who are safe are tradesmen, merchants and sages."<BR/><BR/>"This is true whether you are a Paladin or Thief.

We simply don't have the tools to deal with intelligent giants, peaceful settlement of orcs and Brutish Human Fighters turned "honest" businessmen.<BR/><BR/>The fact that D&D is a role-playing game does not mean that all roles can be successfully played within its rules.
