    How fast am I?

    Okay, I'm currently creating a powerful yet dumb henchman for one of my BBEGs. He's a three-headed half-dragon ogre. My question concerns the Improved Speed monstrous feat from Draconomicon. This feat gives +20 flight speed and +10 to all other speeds. My question is whether flight speed...

    Chronicles of Essenon: Blood on Snow-updated 4/12

    Days 2-4 The dark figure fidgeted, glancing nervously at the powerful beings visiting his chambers. “Everything is under control,” he said, trying to sound authoritative, “I don’t know why he feels…” “We’re just here to…observe,” the largest said from one of his mouths. Zombie...

    Words you learned through D&D

    So many that I can't name them all. My favorite is a scientific latin animal-vampiroteuthis infernalis. I made a huge one and through it at my players along with a picture of the thing.

    Do You Prefer to Play a Human PC When RPGing?

    I enjoy elves, but then I play for fun and escapism, not to practice my acting :D

    Illithid Savant

    So does anyone know for sure? Seems like it could go either way to me.

    Illithid Savant

    The wording is rather vague-after reading more thoroughly I'm wondering which way it should be. Seems kinda weak if that's the case since you can't (apparently) improve the ability.

    Illithid Savant

    I've been running through various ideas for my campaign's BBEG and came across the Illithid Savant from Savage Species. It seems that a high-level villain with this class could have near-infinite feats, skill points, and spell use. Has anyone experimented with this critter?

    Ever had an RPG bring a tear to your player's eyes (or your own)?

    After 8 years of campaigning, the world of Corylak came to a close. The last original player (I was DM) was moving, and I had decided it was time for a new world. So the PCs were fighting off the apocalypse. They were in the Abyss, fighting a Demon Princess and getting their rears stomped. The...

    Selfsufficient classes

    At 4th level my group each has a +1 weapon OR protective device and a couple of disposeable magic items. They get a feat at every level, and bonuses feats for not multi-classing (1 every four levels in a class, every three if it is your racial favoured class). So far everything seems balanced...

    Why the assumption that epic levels are purely optional?

    I would consider them optional myself. It takes a lot of planning if a campaign will have access to epic levels. When the time comes my current group wants to go into epic levels (it'll be awhile-they started at 1st and are now 4th) so I started an entirely new campaign setting created with the...

    Are halflings hobbits in your game?

    Too little difference between gnomes and halflings in previous editions, so we've rarely used them. If anyone wants to play one I'll probably introduce them as nomadic gypsy-types. In a world as vast and varied as mine, that could be a VERY interesting background.

    Do You Prefer a Humanocentric RPG Setting?

    Not really, but it is difficult to find players willing to put enough effort into playing a non-human campaign.

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    In this context, "immoral rulers" has got to be the best typo evar. I agree that 20th-level characters should be able to 'beat back' a demon prince-as in remove a manifestation of one from their world forever. I don't like the idea of them killing one on its home turf. Here's an idea-how much...

    Epic BAB advancement

    I do appreciate it-I just disagree with WoTC's reasoning :D

    Epic BAB advancement

    A cleric or wizard gets epic spells though, and the epic rogue will have massive backstabbing going on. I don't mind a dedicated warrior being able to hit the AC of something non-epics can't. It just seems to me that high BAB is the best feature of the fighting classes, and it is the only one...

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    For the first time in over 20 years of playing I feel that the game can support epic-level play. For that reason I want Demon Lords at a high CR-35-50 range, with manifestations at about the BoVD range.

    Epic BAB advancement

    I noticed that Monster BAB can go past +20, but never give over 4 attacks. What unforeseen consequences would there be to applying this rule to PCs and allowing continued BAB advancement by class? Seems like it would help the warrior-types with their percieved weakness at high levels.

    Chronicles of Essenon: Blood on Snow-updated 4/12

    I posted this before the crash, but it was lost. I've done some editing so that (hopefully) it will be a bit more interesting to read. More will come as I edit it. From Versi’s Guide to Unusual Places in the Prime Material Plane The world of Essenon is to the best of my knowledge unique. The...
