Eclipse Phase and… the soul? Wouldn't that contradict your point about forks not having the same ghost and therefore lacking something? |

Eclipse Phase and… the soul? You're ignoring alpha forks. -1. |

What are the best ways to utilize Wisdom and Charisma? I've no time for an answer now, but the issue you are experiencing is that the defintiions of stats you are using in your game are no longer the same definitions used in traditional D&D. Explicitly write out the definitions you are using, and decide which stat makes the most sense for divinely-granted magic based on that. |

How do I deal with these crazy PCs? Sexual harassment in-character is only something to worry about if they think it's fine out-of-character. Sardathrion is broadly right, though: If your play expectations are clashing irreconcilably with those of your players, it's time to find a new group. (You should definitely make an attempt at finding a middle ground before giving up, though. See Brian Ballsun-Stanton's answer for some good strategies to try.) |

Dealing with extreme luck Extremely related question: rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/12254/… Tl;dr: If you really think your players' luck is predictable, take them to Las Vegas. |

How can non-magical healers be useful when magic healing is available? +1 For a simple but effective answer that requires minimum rules hacking to work, compared to all the other answers. (Ranged healing spells could still get a bit weird, but some system-specific quirks are bound to show up with any reflavouring-based solution.) |

I'm fairly new to D&D but want to GM; where do I go from here? A good mix of advice on different topics, here. |

How can I mechanistically empower a prophecy or fortune without railroading the plot? The OP is asking about how to include prophecies-that-are-hard-to-avert in his game, not prophecies-that-warn-about-events-that-could-potentially-be-easily-avoided. Could you possibly expand on your answer to explain how it relates to the question? |

How to communicate to the players that an encounter can be solved also through diplomacy? @Drace88 As written, your answer is a little hard to follow. Perhaps you could highlight the main points of your argument? |

How can non-magical healers be useful when magic healing is available? This is a bit hard to answer as a system-agnostic question. Should it maybe be re-scoped as specific to a particular game or setting? |

How can I mechanistically empower a prophecy or fortune without railroading the plot? Come to think of it, I could run an entire campaign around this concept... |

How can I mechanistically empower a prophecy or fortune without railroading the plot? @Ben-Jamin Oedipus's parents did go great lengths to ensure the prophecy didn't come to pass: They had baby Oedipus left out on a hillside to die (which at the time was tried and tested method of dealing with undesirable newborns). Fate still happened. That particular prophecy is supposed to be inevitable: In that story, if mortals try to defy the gods, it does not work out. |

Are my vassals ripping me off? You make a pretty persuasive argument (and are probably right), and I've upvoted your answer, but I'll reserve the bounty for an answer from a more authoritative source. There's just too many questions yet unanswered - Like, why do vassals count against a character's maximum henchmen limit if the relationship is so different? Can a vassal still be taken on adventures like a henchman? And can a henchman refuse to become a vassal of a domain so small that it would result in an effective pay cut? |
