    Super dwarves and giants...

    The mistake... I think the mistake you're making is thinking that the AC from Mage Armor and real armor stack. In this case, the +4 AC from Mage Armor does nothing, since the Full Plate already surpasses this. Later! Gruns

    [Theory] Why D&D is Popular

    D&D is popular? I just asked everyone here at work why D&D is popular. They all just laughed at me. Apparantly D&D is only popular to a very, very minor portion of the population, which in essence makes it not popular at all. Or did you mean "Why is D&D more popular than any other RPG?" ? In...

    Worst RPG System You Ever Palyed?

    Mine... "Everway" I'm quite sure I never actually played the game, but I won it as a prize at a Magic the Gatheirng tournament, so I at least owned it... Later! Gruns

    Armour with no Arcane Spell Failure

    Mithril Buckler Nobody's mentioned a Mithril Buckler yet, so I will. (Which technically isn't Armor but is enchantable, 0% Spell Failure, AC.) Later! Gruns

    Favorite Adventure Type?

    Perfect Mix Yeah, instead of "A Perfect Mix" it should have probably said "A 50/50 Mix"... I'm kind of surprised there are so many right in the middle, but on the other hand, I kind of expected this from the people on these boards My group tries to play things out with speaking/acting in...

    Favorite Adventure Type?

    Hey all... After a few years DMing for various groups, I've noticed something about people's preferred adventure types: Although most people claim to enjoy a mix of roleplaying, combat, intrigue, mystery, etc etc; when it all comes down to it, my groups most enjoy a simple dungeon crawl. Explore...

    Why PDF vs .doc?

    Nice. I had no idea there were so many ways to create PDFs for free. I thought the whole idea of PDFs was so that Adobe could make lots of money selling the creator, after giving away the reader to everyone for free. Figured Adobe would have some kind of patent or something. Anyway... who wants...

    I need a shoulder to cry on...My pity party's pretty pathetic.

    It's all about fun... I used to worry that my campaign didn't have enough story to it, the plots were weak, etc... It turns out, my players don't care. They'd rather have a night of "You spot a sign in a tavern that says a dangerous cave needs cleared out. Inquire within." then try to discover...

    Why PDF vs .doc?

    Simple question that I imagine has a simple answer... Why are PDFs used instead of .docs? Filesize? Is it just the easier layout capabilites? The more universal reader? I'd like to start putting some modules out on the net, but can't afford to drop $300 on Acrobat. Just wondering. Thanks! Gruns

    What old books do you still own? The first OD&D box anyone?

    Hmm... Anyone know the difference between these?: I have 2 boxed sets of basic D&D. They both have a rulebook and the Keep on the Borderlands module. One of them has plastic dice. The other has squares of perforated cardboard with the corresponding dice numbers printed on them, that must be...

    Poison rules?

    Complete Adventurer, pg 97-98 Craft:Poisonmaking is covered in Complete Adventurer on pages 97-98. It basically covers cost of the raw materials, DCs to create each poison, how much you can make. You'll have to buy the book for all the details, as it isn't open content... Later! Gruns

    Feat recommendation for Paladin

    Rename reroll. First thing you need to do is rename "Reroll" to something involving luck. Or simply "Luck" if you aren't feeling particularly creative. Anything besides "Reroll"... Oh, and take Goad... Very Paladin-ic. And with 11 PCs in your party, thats a lot of AoOs... Later! Gruns

    Ranged Trip Attack

    Are there any special rules for a Ranged Trip Attack? (re: Bolas, PHB pg 115) As written, it appears that if it hits, you proceed as if it were a normal trip attempt. Opposed Str vs. Opposed Str Check... Naturally, this doesn't make much sense for the Bolas end of it. Is Dexterity used instead...

    Any homemade D&D/fantasy movies?

    Ordered a copy... Ok, so I went and watched the trailer for The Gamers. Half of that looks like what I'm looking for. (The obvious half.) But the parody part was funny enough that I went and placed my order for a copy. "SHUT THE **** UP!!!" -The girl Anyway... Thanks for the tip on this movie...

    Any homemade D&D/fantasy movies?

    Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! Exactly! I want Lord of the Rings, with a budget of about $20million dollars less. Actually, I expect the special effects would turn out much better than old school camera tricks. Computers are good. Costuming also wouldn't be much. Set design, well, "outside in...

    Any homemade D&D/fantasy movies?

    The Gamers No no no. I'm _NOT_ looking for anything like The Gamers. Nothing D&D related at all, other than the genre. The words "gamer" "D&D" or "Doritos" won't be in the movie at all. Think of the fan films from www.theforce.net. There are tons of Star Wars movies there. Even a few Matrix and...

    How to speak Orcish.

    Yeah... Yeah, I live in Charlotte, NC. So as a Panther fan, I unfortunately know how to spell #1 draft pick Tshimanga's first name. :mad: I was going with the phonetic for the benfit of those who never had to watch him (not) play on their team... Those tennis players names sounding like...
