    Though he has to wait a couple more levels before it's affordable. Believe me. It's expensive.

    Your Experiences with Gestalt Characters?

    I really liked DMing a Gestalt game save for a couple problems: 1. Gestalt brought in my major problem with epic gaming. Either the PCs waded through the competition, or they were nearly defeated in every combat. 2. It took a ton of extra time to create NPCs. That problem was not helped by the...

    Death of the LGS

    I'm quite fascinated by this thread, and felt I must contribute. I haven't made it past page 3, so I apologize if this is redundant. I followed the link to your web site, and like ironvyper, I have hefty expectations of businesses' online presences. I must say, I was not terribly impressed...

    D&D 3E/3.5 The problems with 3.5?

    I'd like to tweak this a bit. It's not so much that you need an edge or die at higher levels. That's a matter of game style. The issue in my experience is more that when some players do have that edge, and other - more casual - players don't, it eventually leads to imbalanced gaming. I have...

    D&D 3E/3.5 The problems with 3.5?

    This is so true. My group recently started the first AP, and I was reduced to telling one of my players that playing a rogue, then multiclassing to specialist wizard (necromancy) at 2nd level, that his class selection was a "suboptimal" choice. What I really meant was: as the party's only...

    New Character Sheet: Clean & Powerful

    I would also like to add that these sheets are wonderful. I've been using the madirishman form sheets for years, but I think I like this better. And this is good timing as we're about to start a new campaign too. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for the form sheets.

    Last one: Heroes of Might Be Magic Current: The Fellowship of the Bling Puns abound around our table.

    OK, we have a problem [please read!]

    Had to wait for PayPal before I could support. Hope this helps, and I'm sure I'll enjoy my new search feature! :D

    Sneak Attacks, Flanking, and Deathstrike Bracers

    I imagine Deathstrike Bracers (MIC p. 93) are going to be exceptionally common for rogues. The bracers allow critical hits or sneak attacks to affect creatures normally immune to them (constructs, oozes, undead, etc). My question is this: Some creatures, such as oozes, are immune to flanking...

    Death and Wealth

    Character death is not common in my games, so this type of problem is rarely dealt with. Assuming the character is not resurrected for whatever reason, the party has access to the character's wealth and the character had appropriate wealth for their level, when a character dies how should the...

    PHB II Druid alternate wild shape

    A player in my game is has played one of these druids from 3rd-9th level so far. As others have noted in this and other threads, the bookkeeping goes down quite a bit (btw, 'bookkeeping' has three consecutive double letters). It's also a step down in power, but not in a bad way. But two side...

    Did your parents get you into gaming?

    Ironically, no. My dad had played D&D since I was a youngling, but he never really talked about it. Then when I was 10 I started playing with a friend and my dad and I later discovered that we played the same game. Flash-forward fifteen years and for the past five years or so he's been a...

    Complete Champion excerpts

    I'm surprised no one is commenting on this one. My group, at least, loves size changing. There can be some pretty nasty min/maxing with this feat depending on its specific text.

    [RIP] Kurt Vonnegut

    Still one of my all-time favorite short stories is Harrison Bergeron.

    Anybody know a little Latin?

    Also, many Latin locations (I'm thinking continents here) are feminine. That's why it's Asia, Africa, and so on (Europe is Europa). Cheiromancer sounds right to me with 'Mandis', but if it's a continent you could also call it feminine and smack an '-ae' on the ending and it'd be more Latiney.

    Daring Outlaw...A Too Powerful?

    In my campaign right now, one of the players is playing a Changeling Rogue 5/Cleric 1/Swashbuckler 3 (I waived the XP penalty cuz cleric is for RP reasons and actually has hindered the character a bit). When CS came out, it was right when he was leveling up to 6th (Rog 4/Clr 1) and he had to...

    Need replay ASAP: Background music for Mechanus

    This is probably not at all what you're looking for, Stalker0, but I forgot to mention one more thing. I dabble in making my own electronic music, and I started a Planescape themed album. You can get the Mechanus song at my website. Oryan, I'll compile a list and email it to you this weekend...

    Need replay ASAP: Background music for Mechanus

    That's funny. I've been doing this for several years and figured I was the only crazy person who organized it that way. Perhaps we should share lists sometime. For Stalker0, I can give you a list of my 30 mp3s for Mechanus, but most are from movies, tv, and video games, so they can be tough...

    Piratecat ruined my D&D game

    This is a great thread, and something that will really speak to a lot of people. I'm personally the same way, only my players and I like to have a campaign last for 1-3 years max, instead of 15+ years. But the same principles apply here. Character death is something that most of my players...
