    RE May 20th pic of 4E books = Morrus is a hottie!

    I am going to get in sooooo much trouble ;) , but here it goes... Aye Morrus! The instant I beheld thee in the photo of four evenings past, my heart did alight in the flames of love! Wilt thou marry me? It would be legal in Canada! ;) Thou art too irresistible: I am truly smitten! I lust for...

    How do you prefer to earn/award XPs?

    Hello folks. This question popped into my head today: How do people prefer to earn XPs as players/award XPs as DM's? I'm thinking a very simple choice, either from combat - slaying with sword and spell - or from outside combat - specific goals and treasure. I would prefer, as DM, to do 50/50...

    More magic? Oh-oh...

    I found this posted in Ashockney's article: "Increase of magic across the board in all aspects of the game." Whoa! :( I wonder what this really means, for if I take this at face value then I am very, very disappointed! Many, many people here and elsewhere have flailed against high magic...

    Do you want some better AC with that experience?

    Hi, this may have been done by others before, but I wanted to share this house tweak on AC for feedback. I have a house rule in my campaign that PC heros receive a bonus to their AC equal to 1/2 their total BAB (rounded down). Thus, for example, a 10th-lvl Sorcereress would have an additional...

    Humans - the missing monster entry for the MM

    Hello, I did this as an add-on to the core 3E MM. I thought it strange that humans were were the only PC race not in the MM and so I drew this up complete with the fluff and flavour. I was also inspired by the fact that humans, as "Men", appeared in Basic D&D, AD&D 1st Ed and AD&D 2nd Ed Monster...

    D&D 4E 4E's announcement left you in what condition? ;)

    Well folks, maybe it's tongue in cheek, but I had to ask: August 16th's announcement of 4E at GenCon left you feeling what D&D condition?

    Canada Day, eh

    To all the canuck gamers: HAPPY CANADA DAY! :D :D :D Speaking of holidays, has anyone ever used a city or kingdom holiday as a plot element? Maybe set up a festival in which a little mayhem occurs to offer the PCs to "save the day" and earn some reputation for themselves in the setting?

    Undoing Baleful Polymorph.

    Hi folks, another question today: A LG cleric PC in my game was turned into a small viper by a Yuan-ti abomination (failed the Fort save, but passed the Will save). The spell is "Permanent" like a Wall Of Stone is, but is appears in the rules that Dispel Magic should undo this unfortunate turn...

    Rogues flanking at range?

    Hello folks, Quick question (I hope): is there a means to flank an opponent who hasn't lost their Dexterity bonus with a ranged weapon, say for example at 60 feet, in order to satisfy the requirements for a Sneak Attack? IIRC Sneak Attacks normally require one of two conditions: 1) both the...

    The ultimate guide to D&D?

    :eek: Oh gawd. Still my heart. There are moments in life one wishes things were just a bad dream, a figment of someone's obtuse sense of humour, nay, perhaps a wee bout of brain flatulence. Whatever, all I can say -- or rather -- beg on bent knee: surely this must be an April Fool's joke...

    Looking for a new OS...

    Gotta love all these new options here! :D :cool: Okay, to the main question: I am in the process to upgrading my hardware, unfortunately most of the big chain PC stores in North America will only sell you a PC with Microsoft XP, which I do not like at all. (I'm in Canada, Ottawa to be...

    D&D 3.5 has arrived in Ottawa, ON, Canada!

    I don't know if I'm the first ENWorld member to see 3.5 in a store in Canada, but I got mine today! Woo-hoo! :) Fandom II, my FLGS in Ottawa is selling the PH + DMG + MM trio at $100.00 CDN. If you add tax it comes to $107.00 for the set. Otherwise they're charging $41.73 each book (that...

    [OT] I bumped into Hellhound at my FLGS--had a premonition of it too!

    Premonition? Déjà vu? Or mere coincidence? I recently started work in downtown Ottawa, and, on my lunch break today, I walked over to my FLGS, called Fandom II, thinking along the way that it would be odd to bump into Hellhound and/or Dextra there. I don't know why this thought entered my mind...

    Hey DM's, I have research question...

    One of my players has asked me is there exists any material for D&D regarding ablative effects on armor. More specifically, is there any effect through, spell, feat, or other special means that slowly wears down a target's AC with each successful hit? To elaborate, as a DM, I am introducing the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [Rngr 3.5] Swift Tracker? Not refined enough for me...

    Regarding Rangers and their tracking speed... I am really unimpressed with Swift Tracker for the 3.5 Ranger. It's not refined enough for me, so I'm working with my house rules, and I will probably incorporate the new homebrew feats cited below in my game too. :) To start, this is what I did to...

    Erotic publications for RPGs

    With the recent banter about the Book of Erotic Fantasy, I think it would be interesting to launch a poll on the subject of eroticism in publications for our hobby--in particular D&D... I am curious about how ppl respond to this issue in general with respect to their own personal situation...

    Questions of genre... ENPub and d20 Modern

    First off, I'd like to congratulate everyone on the "birth" of E.N. Publishing! Bravo!! *clappity-clap-clap-clap* :D To my question: Will E.N. Publishing venture into producing material specifically directed at d20 Modern? (The fun retro-50s pulp style of your site seems to compliment my...

    [To all publishers here] How will you respond to D&D 3ER (v3.5)?

    Especially with respect to the published products we've already bought? *ahem* :D I looked around and I don't think anyone's directly asked this here... So this inquiring consumer wants to know: how will the revised D&D rules set affect your product lines? And how will you folks address the...

    WOW! :D Soooo :cool: ... Many many thanks you, Vince, and Fiery Dragon, for the surprise I found in my mail box today (Monday December 2nd/2002)! I am very very impressed with your generosity! Every now and then, when a customer speaks up about a concern, and a business enterprise can...
