drnuncheon: OK, good point, as far as it goes. For me, it's a twofold point 1) fusangite didn't understand how sorcerers and elves work, or else he wouldn't have said That's a fundamental misunderstanding of how the racial feature and class ability both function; elven trance is more like...

Sweet Paps of Ishtar, how this thread has grown! I think that ''realism'' only counts when the PCs are donning armor. :D :p And so when Skippy the Boy Sorcerer came swooping down out of the nighttime sky, apparently directly into the ducal palace like there are no such things as doors...

''BULLET TIME''? :confused: Q'est-ce que c'est ''BULLET TIME''? :confused: Wait wait wait -- izzat s'posed to be a Matrix ref? Izzit actually part of the 3e rules? Still :confused: . [Edit: Oh. I think that I get it. Jesus, my head hurts; need sleep. Need sleep bad.]

Uh-huh. So, someone can just fly down out of the sky, in the middle of the night, walk into an unlocked, unguarded ducal palace completely unchallanged, get to the Duke's bedroom, rouse him from his rest and immediately get him to zip off into the late-night sky so that Super-Duke can save the...

So does my wife. :( :eek:

1) The situation was simply set up to screw the players; not in and of itself a bad idea, but I certainly wouldn't try and stage the nigh-climactic battles of my campaign while everyone's PC is still digging sleep out of their eyes and wearing, at best, their nightshirts. 2) The timeframe is...

Other; life's too bloody short as it is to waste it looking up every niggling little smegtastic rule for for every bleeding aspect of the frelling game.

Huh. I don't really see a problem; guy dies, the party gets his stuff -- although my wife and I have our players in our campaigns write up wills so that there are some guidelines as to where the stuff goes. Also, all of our players have multiple PCs, often running on seperate adventures...

It might be just a tich too much. To be honest, I still don't get why, in 3e, +1 modifiers to ability scores are so verboten...or is that just another example of ''balance''? Personally, I'd be happy to give half-elves +1 DEX, -1 CON, for example, to more accurately reflect their elven...

Hmmm, that first one is as bad as I remember (what's Indel doing in that one panel, anyway? I don't recall ''hovering'' as an elven ability...); reminds me of cheesey classic GI Joe and Johnny West ads. The second might just be a Dee -- the style is different enough (I was going to comment on...

OK, I think I get it now...actually being awake helps, too...:D Kilmore: Hmm, that doesn't sound too bad, either; that's another helpful idea to pitch to my DM and to adopt for my own games. Schweet!

OK, I don't think that it's that unbalancing, but I'm also not a big fan of the ''balance'' fetish that seems to have overtaken the game. *shrug* It strikes me as reasonable and justifiable, considering the flavor that you're trying to impart; it helps to liven up an otherwise OK but bland...

I think that I have to find some way, by hook or by crook, to get my DM to adopt this idea. Hope that's a good enough answer...:D

Man, I have been so thinking about those, recently; I'd dig through my 15,000 or so comics to find 'em just to read 'em if I could, but most of my books from that era are a little fragile. I'm not sure about the Dee art, but you're pretty spot-on about Willingham. The first one that I recall...

Me, I play half-elves (when I play them) because of a character concept that I may have; right now, I have come up with one who is a scrappy street-kid type whose father was a wandering elven wizard/rogue and mother was a human hedge-wizard/midwife. He's learned some things from his mother...

Turgenev, an Otis gallery would get my vote (were I to get one...a vote, that is). Keep up the excellent work, good sir! (...and again, I commend you on your icon -- Doc rocks!)

I don't actively dislike any that I've looked at, per se, but some don't thrill me, either, particularly the Kobolds pic and Moondog & Roberta; the first gets a -WTF?- from me; them's some mighty big Kobolds ya got there, Good Buddy, and the latter is just eh.

IMC, I decided that dragons were nearly extinct on the base world; since I make extensive use of Spelljammer, I relocated most of the dragons to other planets in the system, so that some worlds are dominated while others have the ''standard'' number of dragons, and others have none. Those...

Hmmm, back in tha day, when our main DM used to have NPCs that would appear to pull our chestnuts out of the fire, it got boring fast (but he was the one who liked DMing the most, and no one else had the comittment to do it more-or-less full-time); one PC had a pet silver dragon that did...
