    WotC advice: Disallow the Frenzied Berserker Prestige Class?

    I am in the midst of a mid-level campaign with a Barbarian 8, Frenzied Berserker 2. I can certainly vouch for the fact that the Bard is the party makes heavy use of Fascinate to calm down the rampaging Barbarian Berzerker. They also have ad issues with party members being on the receiving end of...

    Worldwide D&D Game Day!

    We drove up to Seattle to participate in the event at the Sci-Fi Museum with all of the WOTC staff members in the local area. We ended up having Dave Noonan DMing our session and I ended up getting my fighter killed by the half-ogre Barbarian when I tried to save another PC from certain death...

    Worst "science" movie

    Hrm, I misread the thread entirely and have absolutely nothing useful to add whatsoever... My netiquette skills have become pathetically dull.

    Action during a charge, critical hit

    1. Yes, absolutely. You are drawing the weapon as part of movement. 2. Yes. A critical hit is just a lucky strike to a vital area. The only limitation is if concealment is occuring as part of cover such as a Tower Shield or a Wall.

    WOTC ad - insulting to gamers?

    I thought that the advertisement was brilliant. It was clearly aimed at the MMORPG demographic. The crux of the argument was that it is better social outlet to get together as a group and participate in a joint story telling session than to sit at home alone on the computer in the dark.

    Stormwrack: Buying?

    Already bought it over lunch today... I loved the Sandstorm and Frostburn book and have used them both multiple times in numerous campaigns, so I figured that this one would be just as good. My initial browsing suggest that I might have been a bit quick to judge... Although I am amused at seeing...

    What's a "typical" campaign length?

    I've had two recent campaigns ends in the last few months. The first ran 40 months of real time and 28 months of game time. The second ran 28 months of real time and about 14 months of game time. I am starting a brand new campaign that is being architected to last about two years of real time...

    When your DM asks you how many hit points you have left...

    In all three campaigns I play or GM in, both the players and the GM keep track of their hit points and all have to agree that the numbers are the same every time they change in order rto keep everyone honest and above board.

    Anybody Use just the Core Rulebooks? Why? Why not?

    We use any WOTC & Malhavoc Press published resources. When we first transitioned to 3.5E, my players quickly became bored with the limited options provides by just the core resources. They learned to enjoy all of the variable capabilities available to them by using other resources and asked me...

    How many PrC's in your campaign?

    Any WOTC based PrC is open and available to be used in my game. Every character in my main weekly EPIC level campaign has at least one PRc and some as many as three. Even regular villians have multiple PrC's. When your game reaches 25th level or higher, core classes become really boring. Even...
