    Why do clerics prepare spells?

    One of the ways I tend to run cleric spell casting is granting them spontaneous spell casting for each spell level up to their wisdom modifier. But all other spell levels have to be prepared. Also if they wish to do metamagic they can either spend a full round casting to add the metamagic or...

    What does RAW mean?

    True and that is what I initially responded with and then my opinion as to what they should be referred to as. Call it a pet peeve. :D It could be said "by the GAW..." without any change to the purpose, and without anyone feeling that what is written is absolute or that they have done...

    What does RAW mean?

    Maybe I'd agree and call them rules if and only if the so-called "rules" were not stupid at times, and there was no room for interpretation as to how a "rule" applied given a situation. In the case of a RPG a "rule" can only be a guideline because the playing field, i.e. the players...

    Could you enhance/enchant a masterwork shirt like armor?

    Not that it is core or anything, but this also the Clothborn* armor in Relics and Rituals. Just a thought that came to mind. RD * at least I think that was what it was called.

    Your greatest level span in a campaign?

    A lot still challenges my players. Hell I nearly killed the Sorcerer 10/Fighter 10/Bladesinger*10 with 4 trolls each with 4 levels in a class. (Barbarian, cleric, Sorcerer, Ranger) . :lol: And The fact they nearly killed him before another player came in a rescued him and the trolls from each...

    Your greatest level span in a campaign?

    spelling Thanks...so am I at times, longest actual D&D campaign I've run ever. Most lasted a year to year and half with a span of maybe 10 levels tops. RD

    Could you enhance/enchant a masterwork shirt like armor?

    Granted for Arms and Armor there isn't for the base plus, but there is when crafting wonderous items, such as bracers, which technically this would fall under. RD

    What does RAW mean?

    RAW is a reference to “Rules” As Written, but should be Guidelines As Written as nothing about the game is written in stone that it cannot be changed, ignored or modified to suit the players of the game. RD

    Your greatest level span in a campaign?

    Right at 40 level span for my current campaign over 5+ years time. Started at 1st and most of the remaining three out of 6 starting chracters are about to hit or have hit 40th level. This campaign started right before 3E came out and was converted over once we had the first books. RD

    Could you enhance/enchant a masterwork shirt like armor?

    True. But if you consider the spell used in the enhancement process to be Magical Vestments instead of Mage Armor, just why couldn't someone make a shirt that granted an armor bonus even though the shirt/clothing itself grants no armor bonus nor is armor? Would there really be a down side...

    Could you enhance/enchant a masterwork shirt like armor?

    Why not look at Magical Vestments as a basis, that too is in the core rules. :D Emphsis mine. RD

    Finding Time & Energy

    I thought there were 20 different plots in existance? :confused: I have a book on that subject at home on the shelf that describes each plot and stuff, but it has been a while since I looked at it, maybe it was 12. Have to check. :\ Very true point however, pick a plot, twist, add a few...

    Phineas's Dungeon Maps o' the Week (100 maps)

    Awesome maps!! They come in quite handy for spur of the moment needs. I was wondering like others if it is possible to get the CC2 files for these maps to help learn CC2? I recently got the World Builder package and trying to learn it in my spare time after working with the demo. I used the...

    Finding Time & Energy

    Understand that feeling. I think I am around the 85%-90% mark of winging it most of the time here lately. My creative batteries have needed a major recharge for a while probably even replaced. :lol: At times it is hard for me to use the time I do get to develop and prep stuff for game time...

    Finding Time & Energy

    Get better at winging it. :lol: Between working, graduate school and other curve's life throws my way, I just gotten better at winging the game. I reuse NPC's much like I would reuse code in my projects. I beg, borrow and quickly modify, sometimes on the fly, maps and other material. All...

    Order of the Bow Initiate & Many Shot

    Thanks for the quick responses. That's what I was thinking, but when comparing old to new versions and the question comes up it is best to double-check with those here on En World. Especially when you don't have time to do a search and weed though all the threads that turn up. :D RD P.S...

    Order of the Bow Initiate & Many Shot

    Not sure if this has been asked before and didn't have the time to look just yet, so... Can the Order of the Bow Initiate's Ranged Precision Shot be used at the same time as the Many Shot feat? Both are standard actions. This wouldn't be a question since primarly used the old versoin of OotBI...

    Overlooked, underappreciated, magic items

    Interesting, it looks like it could be read that way, except for the second sentence where it says "fall into fits of sneezing and coughing." part would make you think that everyone would be coughing and sneezing and therefore be stunned. But we all know how clear the RAW can beat at times. :D...

    DMs: status quo or tailored?

    Mostly Status Quo, the world is set up and things are going on. If the players get involved and are smart they will find things they do that effect things. If they are not, well lets just say the Preists at the temple of life offer resurrection for good amount of gold. :D Now if they...

    Players: status quo or tailored?

    Status Quo is preferred. The world goes on whether I as a player gets involved or not. RD
