    Your group's tributes to Gary

    I think we're just going to have a moment of silence this Sunday.

    What game mechanics etc. do you, the DM, forbid?

    Clerics of 'Principle' - lukewarm, i REALLY don't like the concept Psionics - nope Vow of * - turfed, after seeing the vow of poverty in action, yeesh

    Have you ever had a PC die of natural old age?

    Yup. Had a character die of old age in the Tower of Inverness. He was a ranger who in a panic drank down a potion of Longevity and a potion of Haste (two previous unidentified potions from an earlier random encounter,) during a battle with a basilisk. Sure enough, on the potion miscibility roll...

    Prestige Classes that are "super" versions of normal classes

    Hehe, true, that. We were spoiled by having a bard in the party with the handy Calm Emotions.

    Prestige Classes that are "super" versions of normal classes

    I disagree. My friend ran a frenzied berzerker in a campaign I DM'd recently. When DM'ing I often accounted for fighters by tossing in an extra hand-to-hand combattant or two. That frenzied berzerker char required squads.... Frenzy is just another kind of rage, but still essetially the same...

    Warlock and Detect Magic

    True, I never thought of that.

    Warlock and Detect Magic

    I wasn't trying to be one of those "hated" players seeking to abuse a cool ability at the expense of game flow. Quite the opposite, in fact. I do however, want to use my ability to the upmost, and my perceptions as such were that my warlock had a "sixth sense" in relation to magic. It just...

    Warlock and Detect Magic

    But why would the Persistant Spell waive the duration of said spell and the "at will" portion of the class feature not?

    Warlock and Detect Magic

    A warlock uses her Detect Magic ability at will, as per the spell. How is that resolved in terms of activation? Do I have to activate seperately each time, or is it considered to be on constantly, as per the Persistant Spell feat (which incidently uses Detect Magic as the example in it's...

    Instant Kill Rules

    that sounds a bit too easy. a 1 in 400 chance if my math is correct. our group uses 3 20's to determine instant death. that's a little bit better, imho... no one, including the DM, likes to see the fight won by a fluke

    Do your players use counterspell?

    I've used a counter mage before, but he was an archmage build out of the DMG... Very useful character, as I seen it, b/c when he wasn't countering enemy spells, he was still a 15th+ level mage. The only limiting factor was that I had to be aware of what magic schools I memorized, as they were my...

    WoT Book 11: Knife of Dreams

    I'm in the same boat as Xath, I've invested too much time to not read this series to completion. Having said that, Rand may very well lose his hand in the next book. If i had three wives, i'd no longer need my hand either. If Rand dies, however, it may be from boredom if book 10 was any...
