Your fairy tale and mythological refferences got me thinking. Another common fairy tale curse (usually for offending a fairy) is to have toads and snakes fall from your mouth whenever you speak. Blindness/deafness/dumbness for people that have seen/heard/said what they shouldn't have works...

You know, one of the things I like best about being a DM is just being able to say "I don't care what X says, this is the way it is." (Oh yes, the power!). I've been reading through chapters 1&2 of my BoED this morning, and some of it seems really very contradictory, to say the least. I am...

One of my characters was cursed into appearing as a gnoll until she had finished a very unsavory task. She didn't look like a gnoll to herself, nor did she feel like a gnoll or have any other abilities that gnolls get. It was basically an undispellable 'change self'. She was more annoyed...

I'm still 'new' at DMing, and thus far, I haven't found anything 'core' to be something I want to get rid of. I'd much rather play out everything and see how it fits before I start revising the basic rules. That said, there is non-core material (including thrid party) that I won't allow for...

I'm a detail person. While I might not want to role-play every moment of my character's life, I like a game with details, and this seems to fall into the former category more often than not. I might not want to count every copper, but how my character goes about with the necessities of daily...

In one of the games I play in, the DM has a 'three strike' rule: if you get brought back from the dead three times, Jergal (FR) starts getting pissed off that his records constantly need changing, so he won't allow the fourth. I kind of like this idea, so I use it in my games. Also, since it...

You make my eyes bleed. Magic Sword Uh... a +6 unnamed bonus to attack and damage? You might want to take a look at Magic Weapon and Greater Magic Weapon. Also no components? Not even verbal and somatic? Weapons If you're trying to create a bunch of weapons that are vastly more powerful...

I'm interested. Saturdays work for me. Not interested in an 'evil' game, but, of course, it isn't as though I have to play. I shall explore the setting a bit more when I get home (on Monday) where I can browse websites and such with something better than dial-up.

How about this: just leave it the way it was? If you don't like it, don't change it.

If it doesn't conflict with my rehearsal schedule, I'm interested; though I haven't a clue what the setting is like. As for the 'rating', I'm fine as long as there is no pvp non-consentual debauchery.

As I have only been playing (and collecting books) for about 18 months, I don't actually have a great many books yet. Because I haven't got a lot of money to invest in them, I find that I'm extra critical of the ones that I *do* buy and don't use. My biggest printed-item regret at this point...

The Meaning of Life I don't post on the forums much. Well, not at all really. I chat in the chat room. Someone else that chats there was recently asking the same question. "Why bother getting up in the morning? What is there to live for?" I ask myself these things frequently. I deal with...

I picked up Book of Exalted Deeds on Friday, and while I was disapointed at the length of the book, I think I'm going to have a great deal of fun putting its contents to work. One of the features is the feat "Vow of Poverty". In exchange for giving up material possessions and taking this feat...

One or two additional players are wanted for a new IRC game group starting this Saturday, July 5th. Game time is 5PM PST (8PM EST). The game will be run on chat.psionics.net (same server as the enworld chat room). Background information can be found at...

Help please! First time doing anything like this, so feedback would be muchly appreciated. Also, comments on whether "Charming Song" works on humanoids or all "creatures" would be great too. Sirine Fey (Aquatic) +4 Level Adjustment due to favorable ability score bonus, spell-like abilities...
