    Sunder vs. Natural Weapons

    Just a little insight from when I run campaigns, called shots and sundering limbs does not become a problem in a campaign so long as you establish the fact that you can not use it as a coupe de grace or any other sort of auto death attack. its arguable, if called shots should be a normal part...

    From my New Camapign: Deities

    Well, my players know him better as a wizard ive played for the latter part of 15 years when I first played D&D. Robert "Rigamortis" DePaul whom is 75th level and retired. For this campaign, he serves a certain purpose in the story. *First post updated with some of backstories of the Dieties...

    Sorcerers with Recharge Magic

    While each person will have there own opinion on the spell charge but this is my experience with it: In one Camapign the DM was crazy for Monte Cook, so when UA came out he added the spell charge to the game. In that session the role playing had given us all our clues to know what we needed to...

    Character concept point buy.

    I would like to add that you get Prcs level as normal. You still have to meet the Pre-Reqs for the class as well. ---Rusty

    Paladin's mount can't wear armor? What am I missing?

    Agreed. Say Frank, is that avatar your current picture? :p Don't age any more. ---Rusty

    Swallow Whole & Sneak Attack

    Personally, often times I throw out mechanics for common sense. Where are you if you are swallow whole? In a major organ. Sneak attack away. ---Rusty

    Character concept point buy.

    Thanks for the Suggestion, however that requires me to break my favorite character trait->Pennie pinching. If I acquire 5 dollars as a Dm bribe or some other under handed measure, I'll go check it out. Because I was sick yesterday, I was unable to get to a place with the interwebs to check out...

    Character concept point buy.

    I have been playing a bit of Heroes Unlimited from Palladium and fell in love with 'Buying' abilities rather then getting them from leveling up in a class. So, I just thought up this idea for the campaign I am going to run tomorrow. Because I threw out the flavor of classes in favor for...

    Do settings get "played out"?

    I agree. In fact, I remember a podcast where they discussed CoC being hard to run because of players who Metaploted. I felt that way when I told my players I would be running Ravenloft, and all they players ran out and read everything they could about Ravenloft. ---Rusty

    Hacking the drow

    I agree. In my campaign setting, Drow came from a small group of elves whom plotted against the Elf God LeShay and elected a new God to kill Leshay and become the new elf God. When that God failed to kill LeShay, He punished the Traitor Drow by turning there skin to a thin layer of Charcoal...

    I just realised...

    I don't have the PHB on me at the moment, but isn't there text in there that says Uncanny dodge can be beaten by a rogue of 3 levels higher? Or is that by a class who also has Uncanny dodge? Do Ninjas have uncanny dodge? If not, then there is what every one else is saying..Feint! ---Rusty

    The "Ultimate" Eldritch Blast??

    Oh dear Pelor! That Prc is far to Red Mage for my taste. Personally, I am very anti WotC out side of a few great sources books they out out (Book of, Complete, II) Everything ive seen from the side is just powergaming. (Gelstat, dead levels, this Prc) On a side note, the only Use I have...

    The "Ultimate" Eldritch Blast??

    Thats cool. What book is chameleon from? It may not be in a allowed book for the game. I got Eldritch blast (yeah, I just realized i was spelling it wrong before) up to 15d6 last night, but I don't have my notes on how or else I'd post it (at 6th level still) ---Rusty

    Andy Collins: "Most Magic Items in D&D Are Awful"

    I agree as well. This is why only: Wands Staves Scrolls Potions Wonderous items (Flying carpets, bag of holding and such) And like items Are things one can buy in shops. Anything else (Such as +1 vorpal swords) have to be acquired in a complicated manner. They could be Legacy weapons of a Hero...

    The Myth of the Necessity of Magic Items

    No, it was looking at the example of a Evil bad guy wizard Vrs the party. It was then taken out of that context and made into a million assumptions. Even if we look at the out of context question of random creatures using magic weapons vrs party magic weapons, I would see a problem with that...

    The "Ultimate" Eldritch Blast??

    I would have to look at the source again so this is off the record: Mortalbane (Feat, BoVD) +2d6 Bimstone blast (Invo, CA) +2d6 Eldric bane (Invo, CM) +2d6 Elderic staff (Magic weapon, 2 charges, CA) +2d6 At 6th level with a base elderic blast of 3d6 you can add another 8d6 for 11d6 total...

    The Myth of the Necessity of Magic Items

    Don't think this means EVERY bad guy goes out and stock piles magic weapons. That is just a ridiculous assumption. ---Rusty

    The Myth of the Necessity of Magic Items

    1) By the time a players can afford A Etheral cape and a +3 greatsword and a Cloak of Resistance is about the time a the Wizard would be throwing up a Scrying spell and readying a charges on a staff of fireball. So..What exactly do you think you are arguing? 2) Discrediting magic items in the...

    Possible House rules

    I thought about that, but in a test D&D players understood 3 standard actions more then the simplified actions per round. Also, this new take on the rules allows a bit more flexibilty for tatics. Rather then only have the choice between run/charge or full attack or move/attack. For example and...
