    Prestige Class woes

    Doesn't seem odd to me at all. Anybody who has ever seen my college educated suburban raised little brother get his glasses knocked off can clearly understand how a city person becomes a berzerker.

    Pretending to be a Paladin

    Only one thought comes to mind. Social skills and charisma. You can actually convice your fellows that you are a Paladin with enough bluff. Absolutely hilarious as every player knows you are a rogue and every character thinks you are a Paladin. With a decent group you are all good.

    Here here to Marric. Rules rule. But fun prevails.

    Kingdoms of Kalamar Villain Design Handbook 3.5

    I am just starting a game as a GM in Kalamar, I wonder if there are more. Kalamar is wonderful for its wonderful consideration of realism. The cultures moved, the gods are (too) plentiful, the distance is huge, etc. I hope you get good answers and even consider me as a DM in Kalamar as a...

    Ramifications of a terracentric system?

    Terracentric solar systems can only be seen after an incredible amount of observation. The only way they ultimately proved that the solar system was true was the way that Mars moved in the night sky. It made a little circle once in a while(appearing to run backwards in a loop!) due to the...

    Newspaper(s) in your game

    I once used newspapers in a superhero game as a means of setting tone for the campaign and sometimes for giving clues about what is going on. When the papers were screaming about the presidents daughter turning up missing, the characters just *had* to get involved, knowing the fame that could...

    Warforged as +1 LA race

    I like the idea of giving them a free warforged feat to make them +1 worthy... Maybe even one every 5 levels or some such. But of course you need to make more feats or have your characters come up with them as they advance. No subdual damage is nice too. So: No subdual +2 str 5 limited bonus...

    I killed a Kobold. Killed him dead.

    I think it was the necromancers only hit of the night, touch spell after touch spell failing. He needed a boost and we were a round or two from a TPK... I think the rules kind of went out the window when he rolled a 20 and then a 17 on the Ray... BBEG lost most of his ability to do damage...

    PCs using bluff on PCs

    We always use the differences in skills and abilities to help determine our reactions in role playing. One of the most fun campaigns my group has had involved a group of fighter and wizard types being run all over the world by the super devious (and skilled) rogue who led the gullible party...

    Teleport as Mark and Recall...

    I love the idea, the old sympathetic magic idea. That could get really nasty, if you have mark or "attune" as a spell, you can take a bit of blood from someone you just damaged in a scirmish, cast "attune" on the blood, and always be able to teleport to the persons location. A locket with a...

    Death from above, an unorthadox strategy

    I rounded the numbers off a bit obviously... Just as obviously, I don't know how far a meter is :D

    Death from above, an unorthadox strategy

    Standard falling accelleration under normal circumsances is 10 meters/second squared. (10m/s^2) After 1 second, the rock has fallen 10 meters, and accelerated to 20 meters/second At 2 seconds, it has fallen 30 meters and accelerated to 30 meters/second At 3 seconds it has fallen 60 meters and...
