I've been playing D&D since the very early days (starting with the white box set), but I'm a bit poor at the moment and don't have all the 4e books and errata at the moment. I have some questions about healing. Of the four Leader classes in the PHB and PHB2, three of them list 'Healing Surge +...

OK, I admit something of thread fatigue, and the extreme lack of desire to wade through large numbers of threads containing little useful information to find what I'm looking for. Yes, I admit it, I'm being LAZY. What I'm interested in are examples/samples/whatever of higher level (say, 5th...

Have you ever completely changed a character concept as you go? By that I mean starting out with a firm vision in mind, then moving to something completely different - and still having fun with it as you go? Saerovan started out as a Rogue 1 / Wizard 1 in a Greyhawk game. My intention was...

I saw some discussion on the General Board about how Energy Missile had been hotly debated as far as whether or not it was over-powered for a second level psionic power. Can anyone point me at those threads? Or simply overview them for me here? I have a Kineticist in my game who uses it all...

One of the things I've never been completely happy with is rolling initiative when someone says that they do something that forces combat. As of this last session, I have implemented a system whereby the first person who says "I cast/attack/pull out X/whatever", forcing an initiative roll, is...

Does anyone here know Robert Aiken?

I have to admit that I'm getting uncomfortable with the idea that Rangers, Paladins and a couple of other classes have unlimited access to a rather large selection of spells. It wasn't so bad with just the Players Handbook (19 first, 12 second, etc Ranger spells available), but now with the...

The Characters Samsel Psion: Kineticist. Unknown background. Trained at The Institute in Freeport. Lawrence Makur Psychic Warrior. Born of Tambrian (worshipers of Tambri, God(dess) of Peace and Prosperity - a Pacifist, Family oriented sect) parents in the City of Haven, moved to White...

Oh well, replace former thread as required. Non-standard Homebrew campaign. Some House Rules (No spell books, few spell components, very few multiclassing restrictions, different economics; BUT, limited races, religions and so forth.) We're starting with 4 players on May 20th. Open to adding...

Weapon Wand Used to increase the accuracy and damage of ranged touch spells. Created and treated as per a normal magic weapon with a +1 to +6 enhancement that affects Ranged Touch Attack Spells only. It is not a normal "wand" with charges. It is a spell enhancement weapon for spellcasters...

I threw some coins into the change deal in my car today and noticed that one of them was one of the new Nickels with the Lewis & Clark keelboat on the back. So I pulled out the change in there, sorted out the non-nickels and looked for the keelboat nickel. Didn't see it, so I flipped over the...

Ok, so I'm extremely lazy and want others to do my work for me. I'm considering taking Craft Wondrous Items at 6th level. What cool and/or useful items would I be able to make at that level? (My other consideration is to leave it for 9th level and take something else (Craft Arms & Armor or a...

Over the course of my gaming career, I've run into a number of individuals who fit a certain pattern. It was less obvious in previous versions of the game, moreso with 3e actions. Years back, I played with a guy who would do things like "I move here, cast my spell" (wait for resolution) "Ok...

I've noticed a "trend" of perhaps a pattern in the use of the Diplomacy skills by three different GMs I've played with. A pattern that I find disturbing. A modified roll of 1 makes the person very angry and insulted. A modified roll of 8 makes them like you a little less. A modified roll of 12...

This Story Hour is for TigerBunny's Morlanda Campaign, which we began a short while ago. We play the second and fourth Saturdays of each month and have played three sessions as yet. I play Talent (Fred) Ravenmark, a newly minted Wizard of the Scholam (a kind of Wizard's Guild and College and...

I really enjoyed Teen Titans. Was a fun episode. Nothing super special or awe inspiring, just a bit of fun with all the Mumbos. "I do not like being a cat in this hat!" - Starfire Justice League on the other hand was a bit of a disappointment. I thought the solution was too simplistic. "I...

I had never read any of the Harry Potter books until this summer. Love the movies, have the first two on DVD. After Prisoner of Azkaban movie came out, I decided that I would give the books a crack, starting with Goblet of Fire. Especially after reading comments on this board about how big...

I see this over and over in threads. Why? Why be so isolated and restrictive in your thinking? Why NOT game with people completely outside your social circle? Broaden your horizons! Sure, they might suck. Hard. But so might you! So too some of the people you do hang out with. How will...

This event took place in a game just over a year ago, but it recently came up in conversation. Since there are so many "was this right?" threads floating around here, I thought I'd add another. I'm playing Shadowrun with several others. My character, "Joe" (his pseudonym) is a Physical Adept...

Throwing good money after bad. Am seeing commercials today for "digitally remastered" re-release of Highlander 2: The Quickening, including "more than 100 added special effects", commentary and interviews, etc. Isn't this like trying to putting a high gloss shine on the contents of the lower...
