Having made the decision to give actually playing a go, I'm hungry for sourcebooks and trying to build up a list of non-Wizards books for consideration. Would anyone care to recommend me a few that are highly regarded? The ones I've heard of that sound basically essential are: Mutants &...

Hey all. I'm someone who has been fascinated by D&D for ages - right from listening in on the games the other kids played in high school to lurking here a couple of years ago - and what with 4th Edition being announced and all I've got the itch it seems high time to get around to picking up...

Didn't see any threads addressing this, so: All I want to know is if they changed the ending of the story. Don't care what else is changed or added, but I don't want to go in expecting the original end if it has been changed. Thank you, all.

Greetings all! I have been attempting to stat the monsters from Doom for D&D and would appreciate it if someone had their in-game stats on hand. I believe I have their health nailed down (part memory, part testing), but it would be nice to check. Even more helpful would be their movement rates...

Title pretty much says it. Looking at the old idea of a society where the people are willingly animated to to perform menial labour after death. But of course even if there is an unusually high proportion of clerics & wizards (which there probably isn't) eventually they will reach the limit of...

That's right, Lost has only been showing over here a couple of weeks now and they just showed the (first?) episode with Locke's past in it. First time in quite a while that a story has gotten a positive emotional respose from me. So, yay for Locke, I guess. I wonder if it would be possible to...

I am having a little trouble having understanding how autofire works. In particular I am not sure if it is meant to be used as a standard (attack) action or if it can be used in part of the full attack action when the character possesses iterative attacks.

Thought it might be fun to start a thread for collecting stories of folks have done something that, on the surface, seems to go against an established stereotype but actually supports it. My example: I have decided to reinforce the stereotype of physically frail elves better suited to matters...

Happy Birthday Song Necromancy Level: Bard ?, Sorcerer/Wizard ? Components: V, M Casting Time: 6 rounds Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature in range Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Fort 1/2 or Will 1/2? Spell Resistance: Yes When this spell...

Any mistakes or possible improvements to be made to these? The underlined factors in particular are ones I am uncertain about including. Or do epic spells belong in the Rules forum? I plan on using this spell (or power) as the objective of an adventure for my players and want to get it right...

Ok, not a setting based query this time. I want to have something more concrete than simply saying "I feel you have been acting pretty X lately, so your alignment is now XX" Currently thinking of keeping a tally for each player for Chaos, Evil, Good & Law and when their actions are skewed...

Good to know the local network's keeping its commitments. Last I heard, about a year ago, was that it wouldn't be shown since it was cancelled in the U.S. Thoughts after two episodes: Good show. Pretty. Easy to why it is called 'Firefly' class. The Alliance officers look like Imperial officers...

Soliciting suggestions for how to handle ballistic damage against D&D foes. Strictly speaking it does not overcome any DR on its own (hence the posting in House Rules) but I am sure if D20 Modern used 3.5 rules the situation would be different. Anyway, currently I am inclined to rule that it...

Just a quick question about whether these could be considered balanced against each other. If, for example, someone wanted characters created from both working together, or characters from one facing foes from the other. My impression (an impression formed without experience) is that they are...

Sorry to post this but it has been bugging me for days. What could have been said to bother Torm so? :eek: :confused:

Could someone suggest a good alternative to adaware? Recently been having some problems with ads and pages popping up that it can't seem to get rid of. Well, I just updated it again this session and it suggested it could not finish until after a reboot, but even so I would rather not rely on...

So I asked for a vote and everyone wanted the ocean floor campaign. You may have seen some of my other preparational questions on this board (alhoons, planar templates, plurithropes, plane-shifting incantations). Well, this one should be self-evident from the title: An ocean floor campaign...

So my sister says she wants be a pirate, see? She says there's nothing stopping her because there are no laws in the open ocean. I pointed out that I suspect the laws of wherever a ship is registered out of apply when you are aboard (and taking their stuff, perhaps). Anyone care to comment?

Methinks Gate and Wish might be popular for the older ones, for their versatility, although afer reading some recent threads I find myself partial to the idea of Foresight. For something a little more, ah, practical, Mage Armour seems like a no-brainer. Something you can keep up all day with...

Since I currently have no intention of enforcing these, it seems natural to remove them. However, now I am wondering what purpose the more expensive material components are supposed to serve once those are gone. The most natural idea to me is that without their expensive component these spells...
