All Hail El Presidente Meepo of the Sunless Cartel! Long may his Puppetship...err Leadership reign!

Yeah, Ihardly ever played pre-published adventures in any of the editions, those are always treasure-heavy. But access to magic items was much more restricted than in 3E. Not everyone was making them, and there werent rules about how many you could find in any given town, or enclaves like the...

OK, while the thread has meandered to a PCs vs an army discussion, the idea of general respect for the social structures is still here. Any "intelligent" PC would not find themselves fighting against an army, or against a king, unless they had land, an army of their own, and a good reason to...

Yes I agree with what simonski is saying for the most part. I also agree strongly with reapersaurus. After playing 3E for a little over a year, all I can say is that it feels exactly like Diablo and Baldur's Gate. While this may be the campaign, its also partially the 3E philosophy. What most...

He's a seven foot transvestite with an incurable foot fetish. She's a 10 year old Samoan ballet dancer who wears size 14 mens shoes. Together they fight crime. He's a narcissistic pizza delivery driver on the run from the Yakuza. She's a displaced Eskimo gun moll trying to find her long lost...

We just dropped the scribing costs from 100gp to 50gp. We havent had much of a chance to implement it yet, but the majority of the party felt that 100gp/page was just too steep for our low level, moderate money/item campaign. Dropping it to 10gp or 1gp seems to trivialize scribing, which is...

Of anyone, I'm glad that you disagreed with me Ridley's Cohort. I do not mean this as any sort of personal attack, it is just that of all the ideas on the thread, the one that prompted me to post was yours. The idea of merchants around the D+D multiverse looking at a +1 sword and then whipping...

As a player who is trying to responsibly create magic items, this is something that I've thought about for a while. -I dont think there are that many mages/clerics willing to give up the time and XP to create items. I know how much I hate to give up XP even for minor things, and I dont...

What about... Thanks for the comments, here's one that's more of a borderline case. In Melf's Acid Arrow, it says that "a magical arrow of acid springs from your hand and speeds to its target." Would that spell get the racial bonus? In short, when is a ranged attack spell tangible enough to be...

Hi All, I know this may be a stretch of the rules, so I wanted to see what people thought. I was wondering if a halfling that cast a spell requiring a ranged touch attack got a +1 for thrown weapon. I know that spells get the +1 from Point Blank Shot, and this is just a racial variation on...

Names How about Combat Mage, or Spell Reaver, or Knight of the Sparlie Spells, or Mage that Packs a Punch, or Citizen Arcane, A$$-Whoopin' Wizahd, Killer with a Sensitive Side, Sorcerizing Fighter-type-like dude, or -insert name- Bringer of the Lights and the Hurting and the Glaiven

V-day Saw on the TV yesterday that Valentine's Day is the MOST anxiety laden holiday of them all for men, more than x-mas or birthdays or anything. So women, if you love your man and you dont want him to get an ulcer or have a heart attack, then just get rid of the holiday and give him a...

Ah Shadowrun I played a 2E SR game back in the day ('93) and also some 1E before that. I enjoyed the setting immensely, and it wasnt too much of a stretch of the imagination that multinational corporations became their own countries. I did have one problem with the game as it went on, but this...

Cleric This is a continuation of the thread on RPG Discussion, so I'm actually replying to something on there. The pluses for having a 18 WIS as opposed to STR at lower levels dont seem to have much effect before 4th level. Most of what an adventuring cleric will end up casting at those...

Wow Wow, those are some impressive statements all around. I've seen the negative public connotations, I've seen the positive aspects of the game. I just happened to flip to the Hank Azaria show at the moment of the D+D game. It was cute, but why do they always have to dress up for gaming...

Cleric I have to concur with Jalon. If you want an all around good adventuring cleric, go with a higher STR and less INT. With the War domain, you get a very good first level 'to hit' in your chosen weapon. Adventuring clerics dont have that many crucial skills, so the lack of extra points due...

My understanding is that your party is still trying to hit the monser and not just firing arrows up a hill. If so, then the archers would get the -4 penalty for firing into combat. Its not that you get a penalty for caring about hitting a party member, its that you get a penalty for trying to...

Well, most of my characters are CN, and after taking the test, I see that I am apparently the same. Must be why its so easy. Now I'm going to take the test for my NE character and see what comes out. Just took it for the NE PC and got CE, seems a little harsh, the test seems to be geared toward...
