    Wasting skill points on 'background' skills

    Re: Re: Wasting skill points on 'background' skills Ahem. The cleric of Mayaheine would like his blacksmithing skills to be more important. ;) I just realised that I put 4 ranks in Blacksmithing and 3 ranks into Weaponsmithing. I'm glad I did it, but by the same token I probably should...

    Anyone here from Edmonton, Alberta?

    I'm from Edmonton, although I'm finishing up my Master's at the U of W (done by the end of the year, I hope!). I came back to Edmonton to visit friends/family in June and I had the same problem at Warp 1. They wanted to charge me $2 to look at a $50 book. When informed of this, I put all the...

    Worst DM Quotes at Gencon

    I think we've actually met, either at Icebreaker or Weekend in Ket (which is where this happened). I'm positive you know who this guy is. After WiK he was put at my table for teh 2nd part of a 2 rounder at Icebreaker and I had to have him removed. There was no way I was going to play with...

    Worst DM Quotes at Gencon

    That must have sucked, and I feel bad for you, but, man, reading that made me laugh. ;) I have very little con experience, and of that, about 25% sucked sour frog butt. The worst was a Tier 1 (1-3 level, IIRC) Living Greyhawk mod. The group was formed of a cleric (me), a fighter, a wiz/sor...

    Missin' the Gaming Life So Bad ...

    Some of the characters are nearing 7th level.... Great to see you back, Ashtal! The boards have missed your one line zingers (see sig). I hope the relaunch goes well, especially if you'll have new players. I just recently got my long-time girlfriend interested in an in-person game (she's...

    A Public Apology

    I've been around about the same time as you (lurking since before RPG Planet). Last time I checked, the messageboards are linked under the "Community" banner on the front page. The boards are populated by posters--some familiar to the older members, some newer and fresh. I think some of the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Level Adjustment/ECL Feat question

    Wjoa. That was a brain fart on my part. It's really bad since I gave the definition of ECL above. I think I'm going to go have a nap now. :o

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Level Adjustment/ECL Feat question

    Re: Re: [3.5] Level Adjustment/ECL Feat question Wouldn't that be option A since an ECL 6 Githzerai would have 6HD?

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Level Adjustment/ECL Feat question

    Re: Re: [3.5] Level Adjustment/ECL Feat question Ummm..yeah. I meant Sorceror 3 ECL 6 and 3rd character level (ECL 6). From what Aggemam quoted, it looks like an ECL 6 Githzerai would have 3 feats. So, the Githzerai Sorceror 3 (ECL 6--1 HD + 2 LA + Class levels) would have 3 feats.

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Level Adjustment/ECL Feat question

    I'm not 100% sure how feats work for monster PCs that have a single hit die and a level adjustment. Example: Githzerai Sorceror 6 (ECL 6) Would this character get: a) 3 feats (1st level githzerai, 3rd level character, 6th level character) or b) 2 feats (1st character level at ECL 3 (hit...

    [OT] Going to University as Mature Student

    Dude, listen to Cor Azer. You don't want to be anywhere near Kitchener-Guelph-Waterloo. ;) I know it's on the other side of the continent, but the EOS department at UBC is very good. But since I know you islanders like to stay out there..... I say go for it. There's no such thing as a...

    Little Canadia Suite!

    Damn! I wish I could be there. Although I'm not sure about Fin du Monde....kinda tastes like butt. Maudite is better, but only a little. My vote would be for Big Rock Traditional Ale out of Calgary, but good luck finding some at the Beer Store that isn't skunky. Well, since I can't be there...

    D&D 3.5 has arrived in Ottawa, ON, Canada!

    Where is Grey Regions? I've been to the Hairy T (man, they gouge there), the 401 Convenience and Nexus X before they suddenly imploded. Here in Waterloo there are at least 2 places with heavy discounts. One is selling them for $34.95 if you're with the University Gaming Club (I'm not sure...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Shield Expert = Improved Shield Bash?

    In the conversion document on the Wizards site, it mentions that Shield Expert is now called Improved Shield Bash. Does anyone know what happened to Improved Shield bash? I have a character with both feats, so it'd be nice to know. I haven't had a chance to pick up the new books yet.

    3.5 at Walmart?

    Hmmm...thanks for the info, folks. Sorry, Derek. I was going to try the Walmart route since it seemed easy enough for my girlfriend to pick it up. Since I'd have to get it shipped from you to Canada, it's much cheaper to pick it up here in town instead. So, it looks like I'll be supporting...
