I despise cutsy little abbreviated words like "barbie" for barbarian, "pally" for paladin, "sorc" or (shudder) "sorcie" for sorcerer, etc. %!$@#& baby talk.

The feat description says "You can cast a spell with a moment's thought," which has always lead me to believe that the usual verbal and somatic components are not necessary, or it would have instead said "You can cast a spell with only a brief gesture and a single short word" or something to...

In my campaign, I take this statement on page 214 of the DMG: "In the same way that a PC spellcaster can research a new spell, a PC may be able to invent a new kind of magic item." to mean that PCs must spend weeks of research and thousands of gold just to figure out how to make a new type of...

About 2 years ago, I was getting close to a burnout situation very similar sounding to yours, Flexor. Then I discovered the RPGA, got to play 3e instead of just DMing it, and I've been gaming happily ever after. Check out www.living-greyhawk.com. Also, there's a big RPGA convention in your...

I recommend adopting the 3.5 knowledge skill rules if you havn't already. If the player rolls high enough for you to give him or her a useful bit of information his or her PC remembers, say "These creatures can cast Firestorm at caster level x once per day" or whatever sounds really scary. If...

pee man There was a guy a friend brought to a game at my house who had some kind of obvious physical problem. I have no idea what the problem was--he just had kind of soft facial features, no volume control, and was very slightly twichy. Not a problem (except the volume a couple of times), he...

bookkeeping error As a DM, if the player was under the impression that his or her character was unwounded but it turned out that the character was obviously in need of healing, and there was plenty of time in game for such healing to happen, I'd allow an intelligence check DC 10 to have used...

The listed fire resistance is from it's equipment: ring of minor elemental resistance (fire), not a natural mummy ability. Notice that it has a second level spell called "resist energy" though. Apparently in some places the word "elements" is being replaced by "energy" but not in others...

See page 150 of the Player's Handbook. Whenever you see the (harmless) after a save it means the target of the spell theoretically could resist the spell, but it would usually be silly since he or she probably wants the spell to work. You can always choose to automatically fail a saving...

Cool. Anyone remember this: http://www.theonion.com/onion3630/dolphins_evolve_thumbs.html Treacherous

Here's a link: -=Not for the easily offended or faint of heart, not something Eric Noah's grandmother would want to see, don't say I didn't warn you=- http://www.e-sheep.com/Dolphinbro/

I didn't see mentioned the question of exactly what kind of spells a potion can be made from. I would be happy to go over all the issues involved in this rule.

Indeed, I harken to the days of 2000 and early 2001, or 3rd edition minus lame supplements, as I like to call it. How I long for the days before hundreds of poorly thought out prestige classes and feats invaded. Ah, the good old days.

bad names A player bringing a new human wizard to my campaign has named his character Red Mallet Six. He has yet to name his familiar, but let me tell you I just can't wait. This is the same player who named his Living Force (RPGA Star Wars game) soldier character Bort Lancaster. In the...
