To get yo drank on see 3e Arms & Equipment Guide pg. 30-32
To get a righteous buzz goin' see 3e Book of Vile Darkness pg. 40-44
Bring it all back. I want to play boozing alcoholic dwarves and wine snob elves, have drinking contests with pirates, and smoke crazy mad pipe weed with Gandalf. I want to be able to "visit the spirit realm" and "commune with my ancestors". I want villains like Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet, Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant, Raymond Cruz in Breaking Bad, Sean Penn in Carlito's Way. Mean nasty psychos who chemically enhance their sadism, or weak willed weasels who are held in thrall by their impulsivity.
Let's get crunk y'all.

I agree with putting back rules for drunk adn high character, as well as the rules for drug addiction as here are in the book of vile darkness. An other edition of that book, or another book/module/whatever for controverse stuff like this could be a nice add in for the game. After all these are things that exist, and once in a while are fun to play.
To say one my character last session had fun whith some hookers in sharn.

3e Arms & Equipment Guide pg 63 Table 4-2, "masseuse" makes 2sp per day.
and the picture of the succubus needs to be naked too.
This is a flavor/artwork issue.

I agree with Salla and Garthanos. However, IDK if we agree for the same reasons. I am against it because it's a bad system. Adventurers do tend to drink and smoke (though usually nothing harder than tobacco), so I can't say I'd mind the inclusion of an "Intoxicated" condition. Oh, and Garthanos, I don't think the succubus should be naked, but I darn well want her to be sexy. I think some editions did this badly by making her supermodel thin. The old b&w succubus, regardless of whether her nudity was appropriate or not, at least had a somewhat reasonable body type.

Why Mechanics-Alignment Integration is Bad
Show
so why even play a fighter if you can play the paladin the exact same way behaviorally and get added power to boot. "Paladin" is about accepting better game-enhancing mechanics at the price of more rigid in game behavior.
Really? So it goes something like this?
Fighter: "I want to be a paladin."
NPC: "Really?"
Fighter: "Yes."
NPC: "Very well." Starts reading from a holy book while still in-character "Do you accept having to choose and stick to the lawful good alignment, eventhough neither of us actually knows that it exists or what it is?"
Fighter: "I do."
NPC: "Do you reject good game balance because you accidentally rolled a high Charisma?"
Fighter: "What?"
NPC: "I don't know what it means either."
Fighter: "Oh. Umm, ok I do."
NPC: "In the name of all that is metagamey and broken, accept these better game enhancing mechanics."
Fighter: "These what?"
NPC: "Just get out there and try to fulfill a million different people's notion of good while not violating and part of any of them."
So the system is designed such that every single hit needs to be described to avoid confusion? Here's a scenario. The players are nudists, everybody in the world are nudists, it's not weird, it's totally normal in this land. They are naked and they fight drakes taking damage throughout, but healing up with surges. Later they meet the guy who raised the drakes.
Part 1: I didn't describe any of the hits. What does he see?
Part 2: Lets say I described the drakes as biting the players, yet they healed up. What does he see?

C'mon guys this is a rules thread, let's leave the artwork stuff in the flavor forum.
Discuss your thoughts on the mechanics of getting wasted.
