    Please comment on my custom Divine Archer PrC

    Very good. Not too much, and I don't think too little. May want to boost it a hair, but that is only a guess. Try it out in actual play. Later!

    Is Turning Undead too powerful

    Good gravy! Finally someone else has put into words what I always foam at the mouth about when someone says "cleric"! Well said! One of the most glaring problems with the core rules, IMO! As for turning, try out the alternate rules in Unearthed Arcana. They actually aren't all that bad... it...

    What do you like best about being a GM?

    Crafting my own world, that follows all of the internal logic that a world should, is a great reward. The biggest reward for me, though, is being able to fix the problems that exist within the game's mechanics. I can make my world and say things like, "Timestop does not exist". Also, Crothian...

    Mapping programs, Do you use them?

    For sheer power, Campaign Cartographer Pro, along with City Designer and Dungeon Designer expansions, cannot be bested. They can hurt ye alde wallet, but they are among the best. I only use CC2 Pro.... don't really care too much for the other two. Later!

    How many gamehours between levelling up

    Holy crap!!! Diaglo.... 900 HOURS?! Now THAT is role-playing! LOL! Our group tends to go up once every two weeks at about 5 hours a week.... every ten hours or so. It really depends on the group, mood, and flavor.

    Elemental Savant and a Cleric with the Fire Domain

    Wow! You guys are fast. Well..... That stinks. Your players aren't the types to take this to a stupid level, are they? That could get really ugly and unfriendly really fast.... Good luck!

    Do your players use counterspell?

    I am on the verge of making Reactive Counterspell the standard countering system. Basically give to all casters for free. By the way, I have NEVER seen counterspell used. Later!

    Spontaneous Casting and thuergic casters

    Often times in this game the fact that nothing is written is, in my opinion, intended be a rule. The mystic theurge PrC does not combine the spells or lists of your previous two classes, rather it simply lets you advance in the spellcasting ability of each class separately. Your divine half and...

    Elemental Savant and a Cleric with the Fire Domain

    OK, this is a guess because I am not with my books right now.... I do not think that the cleric can turn the other player. If I recall correctly, then the Elemental Savant gains the elemental subtype, but his creature type becomes outsider, right? If that is the case then I would definitely say...

    Need help! Creating a spare character: Axe Fighter theme

    I haven't read all of the posts, but how about a half-ogre from races of destiny? Awesome strength and Con. Large character, which means large weapons, huge damage potential. Want even more? Then go for the Warhulk PrC in the Miniature's Handbook. The possibilities for this race, especially with...

    Hlep me with my storm-based sorcereress feats.

    Alright. I need some input for my storm-based sorcereress. She specializes in metamagic and I need to pick some feats. I am currently 3rd level. Here are some of the things that you may need to know: - We are playing with spell points. I get spell points equal to a percentage of my total daily...

    D&D Novels- best authors?

    R.A. Salvatore, as you pointed out, as well as Ed Greenwood and the author who writes the Arilyn Moonblade and Danillo Thann? series. I forget her name..... ARRGGHHH!! Someone help me out, please!

    What do you think when DM introduces old PC as an NPC?

    That is where the DM has to be ready. It is my opinion that a character who is so much higher in level than the heroes has a lot of stuff to do; if he didn't, he would take care of the problem himself. That is why he/she needs the PCs to accomplish the task. As for driving him off, well then let...

    Artist Keith Parkinson passes away

    Cripes.... I never even knew he had a problem :( That blows chunks. My condolences to his family and friends. He was a great artist! Ghostwind posted one of (if not the greatest) best paintings ever made. Keith had an incredible imagination and awesome talent!

    What do you think when DM introduces old PC as an NPC?

    It depends on what the NPC's role is. As a DM I have introduced my favorite, typically high-level, characters as NPCs on several occasions. They have always had the ability to "outshine" my PCs, but high-level characters tend to do that to lower level ones. My NPC/PCs are typically advisors or...

    what is the best type and class for newbies

    If you are nervous, shoot for a melee-oriented fighter. Although feat selection can be daunting, it is nothing compared to trying to select spells for a caster, or keeping a squishier character such as a rogue in good health. That is only an opinion mind. A Ranger may work, letting you wet your...

    Labyrinth of Madness by Monte Cook - Updated November 18, 2005

    For those of you unfamiliar, The Labyrinth of Madness has got to be one of the most difficult adventures to play or run. It is comparable with the Tomb of Horrors in difficulty surviving (this is the module with a warning on the back outside cover that states you should not take your favorite...

    Common sense

    I follow the rules as written for the benefit of my players. I see it this way: If a player attempts a maneuver because he understands that a certain combination of rules allow it to be done and I put the kaibosh on it because it makes no sense, then I am punishing the player for knowing the...
