It differs depending on groups and encounters. Sometimes they may be a round or two away from the party, other times it may take a few minutes to get back. To give an example, one time the rogue went scouting out a building in a hostile town and went looking for a way for the rest party to get...

One thing I've never really gotten the hang of as a DM is whenever the rogue in the party sneaks ahead of the group. The particular problem that keeps cropping up is the way the rest of the players are left standing and are more or less just waiting for the rogue to return before they can go on...

Maybe I've missed something, but isn't the heal skill a bit redundant at higher levels? From what I've gathered, you can't heal more than 2 hp/day, and that's with complete bedrest. It's enough to make a lvl 13 barbarian with CON 17 start crying. I'll go and check out the Reserve Points that...

One problem that I keep coming across is having groups without any healers. Parties with 2 rogues, 1 mage, a barbarian and a fighter, that sort of party. Usually someone ends up with volounteering a career change to something along the lines of cleric or druid, but it's happened more than once...

True, I hadn't considered that. The main reason I compared it with a fighter was because it was the easiest class to compare it to. :P I've done some quick calculations to the other main melee warriors (except the monk), and although it's not as obvious as with a fighter, they're also usually...

I'd say it would have a lot in common with our age's PCs. :) I would probably roleplay it as a cold calculating machine unable think outside the box. Give it a complex logical problem and it will solve it quickly and with grace. But try to give it an ethical problem and it will start asking for...

Overpowered but interesting Although I immensily like the concept of the class, it's so utterly broken that I think it's no fun unless you wish to be unbalancingly good. The benefits of the class just massively outweighs the losses. If you leave it as it is there's also a good chance the the...

Add another who thinks bling = items. In response to the OP, I think it's all about personal preference and the campaign. In a way it's a bit like comparing Braveheart and X-men. In Braveheart they're cool for what they do, but in X-men they're cool because of what they do with their powers...

(Not sure if this is the right forum and I hope I won't upset anyone.) I believe that most of those here that have played teh MMORPG World of Warcraft is aware of the roleplaying server. It's a pity though that the orcs aren't even allowed to attack the night elves when they get too close to...

Why does images of a half-elf with only one wing or two small wings spring to mind?

I'm starting off a new campaign tommorrow with one of the PCs having levels in the Dread Pirate (yes, he has a ship and crew) and the party will most likely have their base around the Inner Sea in FR. So both the pirates player and myself is quite interested in this book, to say the least.

At page 9 in the FRCS you can find a table for converting "core D&D" deities to FR gods. Kord = Lathander, Tempus, Uthgar St. Cuthbert = Helm, Hoar, Tyr Wee Jas = Azuth, Kelemvor So your suggestions seems to fit most of the time. Edit: I might ad that I have never run or read the Shackled...

No too long into the future I will run a session (or series of them if all goes well) with my usual players. It's a new campaign and they are all creating their characters at the moment, thinking up ideas and concepts. So far it seems like the group will consist of rogue and fighter like...

I remember from one of the 2nd Ed FR books (Cormanthyr or something like that) where they claimed that 0% human and 100% elf made an elf, 1-50% human and 50-99% elf made a half-elf and if they had more than 50% human in their blood the result would be a human. Thus a elf breeding with a half...
