To be fair to the DM - and the entire group - this situation sort of caught us by surprise. As a christmas present the DM gave each of us a "raise yourself" for coupon redeamable at time of death. The first 2, the Monk and the Bard were killed in a battle with an evil cleric, who animated...

Been a while since I last posted - so I apologize if this is in the wrong forum (none of the others seemed appropriate) and feel free to move it. I have a cleric in weekly campaign who worships a God whose aspects include woods and animals. (The theology is based off of a pantheon where all the...

Lick it? Or is that Frogs? Seriously can't you just polymorph him back?

I too have a dislike for April Fools day. Sure most of the time it is good clean fun - but to often people take it as a free pass to make their attempts at humor - and asking things to be labled as "humor" is really not to much to ask. I have to admit - when I got on to EN World this morning...

I would like to highlight the who concept of clerics worshipping different deities. You state that they all play "compatible" gods. First off, I would question this - Gods (IMO) tend to be vain, egocentric entities who's prime motivation is to extend the sphere of influence. So, sure, gods...

I would say, in a word - no. CRPGs are basically a box - you are allowed to do a failry broad set of actions inside that box - whereas with RPGs - there is no box. Secondly, when I play a computer game I am looking at anothers person's interpretation of a world - whereas with a RPG - I paint...

I voted for "Its a small but important part of my life" - Since this was the closest fit. As many others have said, being married with 3 kids really puts a damper on ones free time - thus I consider it one of my entertainment options - but not the only one and on equal footing with finishing my...

On the flip side - Roman roads are still in great shape today - so alot has to do with the quality of manterials and constructions - after all, the Roman Legionairre never had to deal with Lowest Bid Contractors :D

From a zooalogical perspective there is a book called "After Man" by Douglas Dixon that shows what animals might be around one people dissapear. More information can be found here...

and while it is nasty for PC's to use - it is particularly nasty for DMs to use.... especially for a 4th level spell. Oh, and yea they do stack - and stack nicely - just make sure you don't hit undead with it :o

Enervation is a wonderfull spell Ray attack targets loses 1d4 levels - no save - Oh and if they happen to be a high level Mage - bye bye 1d4 highest level spell. My DM used to hate this spell - If my mage won initiative, I could pretty much neutralize the opposing mage (or at least limit his...

Odd, Grock hate change!!!! :D

Pit Traps located 10 feet inside the dungeon - even though there are enough tracks for an army of orcs Skeletons and Giant Rats A "Chess Room" where the PCs take the place of various pieces A reverse gravity area

A bit of a clarification - The Native American Tribes never saw the horse until it was introduced by the Europeans. The Stirrup was invented long before this - the Parthian - in about 400 AD or so....IIRC That all being said, your basic premise is correct - it is quite a bit easier to refine...
