comment How do I handle a player who plays his character far differently than the character was originally presented?
Thing is, most people tend to justify anything with "I can do it, the paladin code says I have to slay/punish/burn/save/marry the guilty!" So everytime, I ask myself one question: what would Superman do? He is probably the only real Loyal Good character out there (Captain America could apply too), and it usually gives a straight answer. Would Superman behead a man because he is Evil? No. Would he throw a chair at someone to get his attention? No. Would he throw a rogue on some orcs? Well, unless the rogue asked for it, no.

comment How can I murder people and lie about it?
@fire.eagle And here I was going to suggest we change the title to "How can my character murder people and lie about it?", after realizing it was in the hot questions list..

comment How do I design a Christmas-themed horror adventure?
Well, that was me :/ Based on "You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page." I don't see any way this question can have a definite answer, especially asking for "as many answers as possible". I don't mean it's a bad question, just not a good stackexchange question.

comment Is a summoned tyrannosaurus overpowered?
Also in the list of useful spells: Summon Monster VII, and summon a T-Rex behind the PCs. If a player finds a really effective strategy, copy it. I call it "Arms Race", and it works wonders.

comment How to optimize a bard's ability with a bow in Pathfinder?
Treantmonk has very good guides :) ALthough in that case I'm a bit confused by how/why the Archer part is almost totally independent from the bard part

comment Looking for an evocative high fantasy rpg setting
Agreed, "evocative" depends more on the GM than on the actual game.

And I think we could extend any of the answers to the "brace" quality for weapons.

comment What book is “HP” in Shadowrun?
Yep it is, and a very good one :) Actually, in Tools > Options > General, you see a list of the Sourcebooks used by the generator, so you can easily find which book corresponds to which abbreviation.
