comment How can I create a megadungeon in a futuristic/post-apocalyptic setting?
The fallout shelters / vaults from Fallout can also be a source of inspiration.

comment Flaws that aren't flaws
This reminds me of a certain Star Wars player attempting to play a droid with the flaw: lactose intolerance.

comment Calculating attack bonuses when fighting with two rapiers
@DanialWayne: a strange decision. I would prefer a +2 to hit (from the no penalty) and an AC bonus of 1 or 2, instead of an average +1 to damage due to 1d6 versus 1d4. But ultimately, his decision if he wants to have a less effective character which looks "more cool".

comment Calculating attack bonuses when fighting with two rapiers
What about "persuading" him to use a more realistic dagger? You could achieve it by having him find a dagger which boosts his AC (and, maybe additionally, a bonus to his parry skill). I think it is not even against the rules for a weapon to have a "magical" AC bonus. Daggers were oft used together with rapiers, but not how D&D presents it. Not for giving an additional attack per round, but for defense, to deflect the thrusts of the opponent: youtube.com/watch?v=DNtvIzXd2fs#t=3m If you give him a usable dagger, he might choose that instead of the ridiculous two rapiers.

comment How to have a realistic set of languages without making adventuring prohibitively difficult?
Having a "common" language understood by many is not new and not only because of "the recent globalization". In the ancient world it was Greek, in and after the Middle Ages, until the 19 th century it was Latin. Of course, peasants usually did not speak it, but merchants, travelers, etc. did. You might use this in your campaign: uneducated people would not speak Common in a backwards village, but the local merchant, the village elder, priest, etc, would most probably do.

comment What to do when a player character does something suicidal?
After the player said "start shooting them", before making it happen, you might ask "Are you really sure? There are a lot of them, you will not stand a chance. By the way, you don't even know on whos side they are." Especially early in the game, you can always ask "are you really sure?" when the players attempt something stupid and dangerous, and only go on if they insist.
