Right now, at my FLGS, the tables are full. I'm actually not there because those tables are full. And it's NOT because of Free RPG Day or anything, because for whatever reason, this store's not participating. But dudes are showing up to play, and they're playing 4E. A week ago I tried to sign...

As a player in this campaign - who plays a wizard! - this sounds fine to me. The 1day/item level creation time is fine. But I can pretty much guarantee that I won't be creating any items beyond my wizard's level. I don't want to risk the failure chance, and the mighty Valchymax doesn't...

I'm DM-ing a Forgotten Realms game. My players are: • Human paladin of Torm • Human two-weapon ranger • Eladrin orb wizard • Half-dragon warlord (homebrew race, see below) In my 3.5E FR campaign, my wife played a cleric of Sune who had a daughter with a gold dragon. Fast forward 100-ish...

I think it's perfectly reasonable that a cleric can channel the power of his deity to re-shape a holy symbol through prayer and ritual (at zero cost to the cleric). Alternatively, perhaps the deity's symbol can manifest (with a sweet divine light show, naturally) over a generic medallion-type...

An encounter power, of course, can only be used once per encounter. In between encounters, if the monster rested for 5 minutes, sure, the power can reset. I don't think being destroyed (even temporarily) counts as "resting".

Yep. me too. I was at D&D XP, and I have played 4 or 5 sessions of 3.5 since. Every one has been a chore. The ones I DMed, I kept telling my players (who have NOT played 4E), "Oh, man, in 4th Edition, this would be sooooo much easier..." every time it was applicable - which was A LOT. I loved...

EVERY monster, you say? Since the Dracoraptor's creature type is "Dragon", doesn't it have d12 Hit Dice? ;)

I had to vote "No" because paladins are not allowed to do anything fun... unless you classify killing evil guys as "fun", and then they've got that one thing at least. Also, being a such fatalistic downer would likely irritate his god enough to strip him of paladinhood. I know if I were the...

Jaws & The Shining! I guess I was too old (like 21 or so) when I say The Exorcist for the first time; I was disappointed, it wasn't scary to me at all.

the first time i ever had a chance to use a beholder against a party, i paralyzed and then petrified the party's barbarian in i think the first round. there was another combat going on around the corner, so the party took off that way to deal with the easier threat. the beholder didn't feel like...

I'm moving to Northern Virginia in a week, and I'll be looking for people to game with, but probably not til after the holidays. I'll be back and forth between Sterling and Woodbridge, so pretty much anywhere in the northern VA/DC area would be cool. I'm looking for a D&D 3.5 Forgotten Realms...

1.) How many players in your group? 4-6 2.) Do you DM? used to about half the time; haven't in about 4 months though. 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? 1 guy regularly DMs; another dude sometimes does 1-shots. 4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group? all dudes...

when i think of a 'good assassin', as i've tried to get my DM to let me take the class, i always use the example of john cusack's character in Gross Pointe Blank, or Leon in The Professional. or even garth ennis's comic book character Hitman. although i guess they're probably all Neutral, but...

my problem with the dretch is that i think the story's too big for the boards here. i mean, i imagine the path from lowly demon to demon lord takes hundreds or maybe even thousands of years! like, we'll end up getting one or two pivotal events for each form of demon he becomes, and that's...

my vote is for the medusa bard. i've always been a big fan of medusas, and i'd like to see how ol' blackdirge handles a good character. the minotaur or half-dragon lizardman would be my alternate choices. i don't know about the dretch thing... i'm just not that into it. but, the popular vote...
