Darn it, for some reason I never got any mail from EN-World saying there were new posts here. Until today, that is. Now I see there are a whole two pages worth of posts! And here I was, thinking the thread had died out... I am so proud to finally be able to call myself a published author, even...

On the few occasions when I'm not the DM, I'm a player in a Harn campaign. Actually, I've been in several, but all with the same DM. We've used the 3.x rules, though.

I don't know, but I'll bet it involved Haley. She's so hot! :p

Never had a gnome or half-orc PC myself, but then I DM at least 95% of the time so I havn't really had all that many PCs. There have been plenty of gnome and half-orc PCs in my games though. The guy who first introduced me to D&D and who is still part of our regular group pretty much always...

Here's an utterly cheesy recipe for a level 15 killing machine: Version 1: Take one kobold. Make it a 1st level rogue. Add 6 levels of sorcerer and 5 levels of Spellwarp Sniper (Comp. Sc.), and just a pinch (1 level) of Assassin. Finish with a nice coating (2 levels) of Arcane Trickster...

Probably because it was imported from Greysky city... ;)

Your two-headed, half-dragon blackscale idea seems to fit the figure perfectly, IMO.

The first city that popped into my head when I started reading this thread was Ankh-Morpork. Kamikze Midget has already explaiend what's so great about it, and very succinctly too. (Although, to be perfectly honest, I feel the technological revolution has gone a bit far and a bit too fast in the...

I've used all the options on your poll; except the catch phrase one, but none of them very often. I try to vary my methods as much as possible, so that I don't become too predictable or my NPCs seem too clichè. I strive to give each one a distinct personality though. When I do give an NPC a...

As long as the writing is good, I really don't care much about the illustrations.

Multiple flying opponents with ranged attacks can be difficult at almost any level, especially out in the wilderness. I very nearly caused a TPK with a handful of harpy archers once, even though the EL should in theory match the party's level exactly. As long as the fliers have enough space to...

How to keep a druid from using wild shape? Make sure he never reaches 5th level.. :p

1. Goblins 2. Kobolds 3. Mindflayers 4. Orcs 5. Ogres 6. Troll 7. Frostgiants 8. Rakshasas 9. Githyanki 10. Shapechangers

You're right, of course. That moment is what a RBDM lives for. :cool: Even so, it was excellent fun watching them spend all that time and waste all those resources on doing quests that they figured had to be to their benefit, although they could never quite figure out where that benefit lay...

A very simple; but also very useful, item I've used a few times isa collar or amulet that increases the save DC of his breathweapon. These are highly sought after items by the dragons in my homebrew. I've prised them the same as magic armors; +1 bonus = 1000 gp, +2 bonus = 4000 gp, +3 bonus =...
