    Gamers seeking group in Albuquerque, NM

    A long time gamer, I've been in ABQ for a good 7-8 years. I'll look for a mature (25-35) gaming group for DnD 3.5, Shadowrun, Whitewolf, Indie RPGs, boardgames, or whatever strikes the group's fancy any given week. Live on the West Side, travel throughout the city not a problem.

    Dragons - how often do you use them?

    The game's called Dungeons and Dragons, so most of games tend to feature a lot of both. If I'm planning for a campaign to run 1-20, I try to fix in each color and age category at least once (not necessarily every combination). Last campaign, 1-4/5 (ending was unplanned), the party...

    Where do YOU steal your names from?

    Steal!?! Never! I always return my NPC's name after use *nods*

    Is this legal?

    Just to clarify my statement, it was a general statement about your rights concerning the material as related to copyright and trademark law, and doesn't factor in any contractual constraints you may have agreed to.

    Is this legal?

    No legal problem at all. You can't copyright the numbers in a table (the specific expression of a table and it's layout yes, but not the number or the formula it's based upon). The only conceivable problem would be trademark issues, but the terms 'level' and 'experience' are so widely used for...

    Hanlding Spell Resistance

    Rolling once is quicker, easier, and the less desirable choice for the player. The DM's ruling is obvious :-).

    For the first time ever, I've banned a player class from my table

    12 Empowered Scorching Rays from Wands? Let's break this down. Wands of Empowered Scorching Ray (3 rays => CL 11) = 11*2+2*750=33,000gp each Twin Spells (+4 Spell Slot Adjustment) using Class Feature using +4 charges from each wand Dual Wand Wielder so using double charges from latter (there's...

    How many 18th level fighters could an 18th level fighter take out

    You can't make a reasonable comparison. How you map between the editions is going to make or break the fighters. A 1ed fighter is extremely gear dependent, while a 3ed will have much weaker gear, it'll likely be customized. You can't compare them fighting bare handed, because that'll mainly...

    Unfair Character Death?

    Sounds like you did the right thing. Including acknowledging that more details/hints might have been appropriate. Did the party try to understand the traps? Applying their knowledge abilities and so forth to understanding their cause? If not, there's nothing to feel at all bad about. If the...

    Mirror Image and Combat Reflexes

    Being is an extremely vague term, and moving, reactive humanoid forms certainly falls within it. I'll dig out my dictionary if you wish. A imagine of person is some form of being. By the D&D definition, I'd consider it a creature. Especially considering, in D&D the reflection in the mirror...

    Mirror Image and Combat Reflexes

    My bad, corrected. Moving is distinct from being active. A boulder rolling down a hill is moving, it's not active, quite thoroughly passive. There's big different between having Dex 0 and Dex <character dex>.

    Mirror Image and Combat Reflexes

    I'm not sure where the idea that you can't target a figment with Magic Missile is coming from. Magic Missile can target any creature you can pick out (and I think target one at each of 5 indistinguishable duplicates is picking them out enough). A creature is defined as: As the figments from...

    Magic Item Book Recommendation

    I'm finding myself continually in need a good book full of magic items. I generally prefer WoTC material, but they don't really have much as far as magical items are concerned. I want a good spread of magic items, particularly less powerful ones (<30,000gp). With good random treasure tables. I...

    Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

    The Urge's hp, post #280 28.5 + 2x12 != 63.5.

    Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

    Looking back, you've apparently fixed the math with his gear. I was off originally, don't know if people had noticed that you'd fixed it. You hitpoints are still wrong. You didn't buy a cloak of charisma at level 6, you're character does not list anything to said you did, so you didn't. You...

    DM For Hire - Rates?

    It's game I like to play with friends. I don't pay my friends. That's my basic feeling. Of course, I recognize that the DM puts in a lot more work than the rest of us. Also that it falls to the DM to buy more books, often minis and battlemats. Most players I know, and myself, are to make our...

    Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

    The full caster can select gear that works for him too. A monk belts does even more for full cleric (who'll likely have a higher wisdom) (not getting into the brokenness of the monk belt). My point is those few items like the monk-belt which can help the MT but not one of the full casters are...

    Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

    I think the MT's extra healing between encounters and the straight caster higher spells ending encounters quicker will balance out for the most part. At least past 12-14 level, before then the MT's pretty screwed.

    Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

    Ignoring specific builds presented, gear can only go against the MT. At best, the MT and full caster can buy the exact same gear, and get the same benefits from it. Most likely some amount of the MT's gear is going to be compensating for his weaknesses (headband to up spell DCs because his stats...

    So, are we going to get a PHB II too?

    Assuming they sell enough copies of the DMG II, I'm sure they'll try to make money off a PHB II.
