    Are EnWorlders Intellegentier [Poll]

    What is your IQ? Since a fair number of the people on these boards are certain that the average gamer is pretty average, let's take a look at the portion of the gamer population that is interested in an online community. If you don't happen to know what your IQ is off the top of your head...

    Are gamers smarter?

    gamers will tend to have a higher IQ than other people Since an IQ test looks at rather silly things that have little or nothing to do with actual intelligence or competence, take this as you will. Gamers will tend to excel in areas of esoteric historical knowledge, simple math performed...

    Russian Speech Pattern Assistance requested (John Semlak or other)?

    Also, make sure the character references at least 4-5 women by the name of Katya (pronounced like "cot" as in a really bad bed and "cha" as in the cha-cha but a little softer). It seems like every other girl that I've met from Ukraine or any of the other Former Soviet States is named Katya.

    What's In Your Battlewagon

    From what my friend was saying, they actually wanted it pretty much as a mobile campsite. So, becoming a sitting duck is pretty irrelevant when the party is already completely stationary at night. Apparently their DM has a fetish for giving them nothing but night encounters, then making fun of...

    What's In Your Battlewagon

    How would you stat out a wagon to be capable of protecting a party (of medium sized creatures) from the majority of mundane encounters. A friend asked me this in reference to a campaign he's in but I'm not. Now, I;m farming out to the community for other ideas. They're level 7, so money is...

    "So, what exactly is this D&D thing?"

    "Who's Line is it Anyway?" except that the skits don't change.

    Which popular TV sitcom family does your group most resemble?

    The Simpsons ps. And why weren't the Simpsons included in the list of original options?

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] No good reason to get rid of Ambidexterity...

    The issue with changing TWF from two feats to one come primarily from the fact that WotC managed to balance TWF too well. It didn't make sense for a character to be forced to spend two feats (one of which had some pretty stout pre-reqs) for flavor and then deal very nearly the same amount of...

    Playing Dead

    I concur. A bonus for having ranks in some other skill is by definition a Synergy Bonus. The circumstance bonuses would come from how big the blood spray was from that last hit.

    Help me with Summoning for the Iron Kingdoms

    That sounds rather a lot like the Summon Nature's Ally chain of spells. Taking an existing critter from the active plane and transporting it to your location for the duration of the spell. One of the WotC sourcebooks (T&B IIRC) mentioned the possibility of allowing characters to have set NPC...

    That freaky little XP thing

    Ok, due to a sudden influx of gamer girlfriends, my group has jumped from 4 PC's to 6. Now, then, this isn't really a problem, since a 50% increase in numbers means an EL bump of +1, the party now has to tangle with encounters one EL higher. That much I understand. The part that seems kinda...

    [OT]Strange Town Names

    Some from Mississippi: Were (pronounced "where") Buck Snort Scooba Hot Coffee D'Lo (It's a long story about the town being "too damn low") There are (of course) plenty of others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

    (OT) What to do with an insane cat?

    Warning: Not all cats are effected by Catnip. I have two tom cats and I've given them catnip on two seperate occassions. On both occassions, they sniffed it, played with it, and then went about their business with no changes in behavior. And before anyone makes any claims otherwise, it was real...

    Rethinking the 5' step rule

    Wormwood: No. No. No. They're assuming that the crook is going to be weigthed down by his plunder, giving him a medium load and therefore lowering his speed to 20. :D

    Worse than we thought...

    The ELH clearly states that the NPC classes don't (and shouldn't) extend into epic levels. When one of the writers of the ELH (can't recall which one) was asked about that, he stated something to the effect that it would just be stupid to have non-prestigious characters advance to epic levels.

    Worse than we thought...

    Yep, there's always going to be that wrinkled old dude that sits on the front porch of the local General Sto' and can tell you stories about the "Good old days." Oh, yeah, he can also tell you everything that you could ever want to know about farming (or whtever his profession of choice happened...

    So, the B*h*ld*r is no longer OGC...

    They have to either change their content to reflect the changes to the SRD, or they can contact WotC and ask for permission to use the information in their works. Several books that were slated for near future releases have already been cleared for production by WotC (or so I've heard).

    Quick Use Magical Device question

    Unless there is a "mishap" no charges are released. Mishaps only occur when the skill check fails by more than 10, or the character is trying to activate a scroll and does not manage to emulate a high enough caster level (and then fails the second mishap roll).

    Special Rage Rules

    The ELH allows something vaguely similar for NPCs. With a high enough attitude altering skill check (diplomacy ususally) an NPC group will become "Fanatical" towards the character who made the check. While Fanatic and performing for the character, the NPCs get a +2 to Str and Con, and a -1...

    So, the B*h*ld*r is no longer OGC...

    Yep, there definitely would be a major problem with creating an "Eye Tyrant." The Eye Tyrant is a type of Beholder Kin from Monsters of Faerun. ;) Of course the Dread Watcher (see above) should be ok. I'm not absolutely certain it's completely legal, since it bears some obvious similarities...
