A friend of mine asked me to check out his Evoker 9/Red Wizard 10 to make sure it was all legit, since he finally moved over to doing character sheets by hand as the gods and nature intended, instead of using the buggy E-Tools. Now, his character sheet has a caster level of 24 for all spells...

So my Bard/Lyric Thaumaturge/Sublime Chord is somewhere halfway through a converted version of the Axe of the Dwarvish Lords and we're throwing down with an evil goblin king who's wielding the eponymous axe, his wereboar berserker (heh) minions, and some high-level cleric of Maglubiyet. I...

I'm having an IM conversation with a friend, and the subject of playing mental ability scores (and the frequent impossibility thereof) came up. One thing led to another, and we started to wonder what our playing mental stats would be. Now this is not the same as your own real-life mental...

[Standard disclaimer - I checked back to the last 7 pages for an answer to this question, but it's possible I missed something or didn't go back far enough. Apologies in advance.] I recently joined a group in progress after moving, and pulled out an older Bard build to join the campaign with...

Here's the story. One of my PCs is a werewolf scout who has a bad habit of getting the snot kicked out of him in battle. To rectify this, he's been going to the only good-aligned cleric he can find for healing - a crotchety old acolyte of Saint Cuthbert. The problem is that he's a) chaotic...

Okay, there's a computer troubles columnist in my local paper (the Fort Worth Star-Telegram) called "Dr. Bombay." I usually enjoy this column, since he seems to know his stuff and has a nice sarcastic wit going. But today he runs this ignorant drivel about D&D in response to someone asking him...

From the SRD: Can spells with a burst or spread area be shapeable? I always took shapeable to mean that you could omit specific squares from the area of effect of spell, and things like that. But reading this I'm not so sure. As long as the spell still hits a 10-foot radius, could you put...

I recently got the chance to publish, in PDF format through EN Publishing, something I’ve been working on for a good while. How that happened is a long story, but the reason I’m posting is because I would like to get a sense of how interested the denizens of EN World would be in my take on a...

I'm looking into publishing some work I've done for my home campaign through EN Publishing, but I'd like to get a sense of how the populace around here feels about the topic and my general take on it first (it's fairly esoteric). My question is, where is it appropriate to post a thread like...

EDIT: Some excellent suggestions for names. See post no. 16. So, what do you think? I like the idea of a serious, good-damage spell castable as an immediate action (the tactical possibilities are tasty), and I thought this would be a cool concept and balancing mechanism. EDIT: Here's the...

Okay, here's the idea I'm playing with: a higher-level ability that grants magic immunity, like that of a golem but with no exceptions. It can't be lowered, however, once accepted, and prevents you from gaining direct bonuses from magical items (no cloaks of resistance, but magic arms and armor...

Is there any way to keep hosted fora from appearing on the main page? It's always mildly annoying to click on an interesting-looking title and be asked for a password. I see The_Universe's hosted forum up there quite a lot too. Nothing personal, but I doubt general browsers have much interest...

My two game threads seem to have either petered out or gone on some unscheduled hiatus. This is probably a result of my less-than-stellar ability to concentrate on my games this semester. (Stupid thesis!) But still, where is everyone? :confused: I'm looking for Zerth, Jolmo, and Ferrix in...

Yes, I know you can't literally do that, but it would be nice to have a similar effect: more powers at a lower level. Maybe a weakness that reduces your effective PL by 1? Has anyone tried anything like this?

It is a bright Astrulayr day in Dromus, and the clouds look entirely innocent of any intentions they may have of maybe, possibly drizzling something nasty on the city below. In Khorvaire's Square*, it's business as usual. All around you you can hear the sounds of an exceedingly active bazaar...

I was going through my (epic level, designed to be stealthy) bard/assassin's abilities, and I noticed a gaping hole in the defenses available to me. I can magically shield myself from normal sight, from darkvision, from hearing, from alignment detection, from scrying, from magical aura...

Yaargh. Well, here we go, then, a thread to replace the cluttered and really slow planning threads. I finally decided to get on my keister and post it when it occurred to me that the lack of an OOC forum to ask questions may have contributed to the skipped day. Anyway, here we are. I'll...

(OOC: :) ) The room you are standing in looks much like you would expect a warehouse office in a bad part of the city to look: the walls are smeared with grime, the floorboards creak when you walk, and there’s an indefinable (but decidedly unwholesome) smell coming from somewhere. The room is...

Play-by-Post Rules: Obviously, you have to follow all the rules of EN World as a whole. I'm looking for one post a day, or at least one longish post every other day, but beyond that the speed of the game will be set by the players. Use this to roll: Vacuum Elemental Games Die Roller. Make...
