    Why exactly 1st level kobolds are scary (Smackdown)

    Jack H., as I recall, there is a 1 day minimum for item (in this case, scroll) creation. The 1000 gp/day limit means that items >1000 gp take additional days to create, but any item takes at least 1 day.

    Recommended Story Hours?

    I am obviously not alone in reading the story hours of Wulf Ratbane, Sagiro and PirateCat - check out the # of views - 36k, 26k & 96k respectively. I also enjoy jonrog1's Darkmatter story hour. If I had to choose one, and I don't, :D I really enjoy Wulf's narrative from his (searching for an...

    To multiclass or not to multiclass? That is the question.

    As stated above, it really depends. My last character was a Rogue 1 / Sorcerer 8. I enjoyed the benefits of the Rogue level, but since I was already 1-2 levels lower than the other straight casters (wizards) the difference was magnified by using one level as a non-caster. OTOH, I may not have...

    The lovely stupidity of some players...

    A few years ago (in 2E), the assassin in our party decided to single-handedly storm a building that was protected by several archers, all of which had line of sight to the front door. He runs to the front door, tries to open it.... locked. "That's OK, I pick the lock." We try to explain that...

    DMs Don't Kill PCs. PCs kill PCs.

    Ditto... Just 3 sessions (or so) after our Cleric ranted for 3 hours when the summoner's magmin heat damage finished of his (the summoner's player's) wife's unconcious fighter, the aforementioned cleric blasts the same (resurrected, but again unconcious - don't ask) fighter with a sound burst...

    Gaming group dynamics

    I am in a similar situation, but as a player, rather than a DM. My work shedule changed to interfere with the regular game-time. For now, my DM just pops me in when I can make it, but I am trying to figure out how to improve on this. One other player has offered to play my character, and I...

    Antimagic shell (I know, I know ...)

    my $0.02 Does this make sense to anyone? A) You may cast a spell of any duration greater than instantaneous from within the AMF. The spell effect happens once you leave the AMF, unless the duration has expired. So, you can buff yourself, then leave the AMF. B) You may not cast an...

    Laptops at the gaming table.

    Re: puhleeze all you want I think the sticking point was 600 cps. I think you mean 600 cpm 600cpm/5 char per word = 120 wpm.

    [meta] What part of the world do you live in?

    Samnell & Tsyr, First off, it's yooper, not uper. Secondly, I fail to see how living in Alpena (or anywhere in northern lower Michigan, but especially Alpena :D ) is better than being a yooper. In addition to what Abraxas has noted, the U.P. has an Olympic Training center (@NMU, in...

    [OT] Good Punchlines

    But Hong, funga doesn't sound like "fun guy". It's a joke! (or the punchline to one, more specifically):p And besides, fungi is the plural form of fungus. I don't think that funga is a word. Oh, I almost forgot a punchline: "because they're mine"

    Help, please re: Evard's

    I know :D I'm considering it for my halfling Rogue1/Sorceror8. It's a wizard in my group that was trying to mis-use it (albeit innocently).

    Help, please re: Evard's

    I apologize if this has been covered already, but my question is this: In Evard's Black tentacles, do the tentacles attack in the round that the spell is cast? I thought not, a player in my group disagrees. I know I tend to be conservative in rules interpretations, but I see it this way...

    What do you like most in a story hour?

    Re: Well duh... grammar/spelling a lot of promise Pity that. But I do agree, HD.;) My favorite Story Hours are well-written. Although memorable characters bring me back.

    Polymorph for the small spellcaster

    Thanks for the advice, I never took the summon monster spells, but I recently obtained wands of SM III & IV and they have proven quite useful- it's nice to be able to stay invisible and still help out in combat :)

    Polymorph for the small spellcaster

    My halfling rouge/sorceror will be getting 4th level spells soon. I loved reading about Kheldas' polymorphing into an Umber Hulk and tearing down walls (in Wulf's storyhour), but alas, my character is small, so I cannot polymorph to a L size creature. The only burrowing M size creatures I can...
