That was a complete invention of my players, but I shall let them know that there is someone wanting to see that converted to 3rd ed. :)

Ah this is a good topic, I am enjoying it. All these stories remind me of all the blunders I have made while dming, which my players have all thoughtfully put on the internet for all to enjoy. These all took place over the space of 2 years, mostly in the 2nd ed era. The Bitter Gamers Club

Longtime lurker, first time poster ;) Anyway, onto the good stuff. 1.) How many players in your group? From a pool of 7, usually about 5 play. 2.) Do you DM? Yup 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? One other does, and one other one wants to give it a try soon. 4.) What's the...

I got the PHB in Kamloops B.C., so if your town doesn't have it yet.... I feel bad that you live in a crappier town then Kamloops. :D

All those prereqs for the abilities make it seem more like a prestige class then a core class. I don't think any ability that can only be used at a certain level should also have the added cost of a skill point total as well. If it was just level based without the ranks needed, I could see...

I purchased the Oriental Adventures book because of all the good reviews. I had no intention of getting it otherwise. So yes, I do listen to reviewers. I don't buy every well reviewed book though, I have to be interested in the book as well.

I can't find the details in the Strongholder's book right now, but according to Dragon Magazine #295 it costs 100 gp to excevate a trench 10 feet wide, 5 feet deep, and 10 feet long. If you haven't picked this issue up yet, I highly recommend it, it is full of new stuff to use with the book.

I am quite the moron. I don't know how I missed that little bit "carries no penalties for failure" when I reread that section tonight, but I did. Anyways, thanks for the responses, and I shall now run away, tail in between legs.

I was just wondering what skills everyone lets their players take 20 on. I don't think I see a specific list in the PH or the DMG, so I was hoping to get everyones take on this. Here are the ones I allow to have 20 taken on them: Alchemy - Yes Animal Empathy - Yes Appraise - Yes Balance -...

I've been interested in building a stronghold when playing D&D ever since I started playing back in the days of 2nd edition. The thought of a mage holed up in his tower, researching new spells, or a great warlord watching over his serfs from a vast castle have always appealed to me, but I never...

I don't have those other products to compare with, so I can't say. The listed sources are the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Manual of the Planes, and the Arms and Equipment Guide.

As I reread this thread, I can see that I am a moron and didn't fully understand what you said. It's not as bad as I thought initially, and in fact I kind of like it now. Though maybe making it 1/2 character level for determing spell effects may make it a little more reasonable.

In my opinion, the power lost in multiclassing is the price to pay to be more diverse. And what about a fighter that mulit classes into a wizard? The characters BAB would be less now as well, making him a weaker fighter. Would you let that fighter/wiz take the fighters BAB to make her...

Maybe explain why the charisma bonus is applied to AC, or why this class can make everyone weightless. As of right now this seems to be just a collection of ideas, with no rhyme or reason as to why they work. Some background info would make it easier to critique this class.

I feel I should explain my choices for the prerequesites for these feats. I said Cleric of level 3 because I intended the feat to be more of a holy feat rather than a healing feat, so it would be available only to clerics. I included Combat Casting, because then a Cleric would have a better...
