Lol. If it worked, I wouldnt knock it. But as you point out, 14AC and d8 HPs isnt going to make you much of a fighter. Absolutely. I've been there. Not a problem if you are running a high-magic campaign where you can just go to the store and buy a Ring Pro +1 with the first couple...

This is kinda what I read between the lines in his original story. Everyone else is having fun and talking about other stuff they care about, he is the odd man out. Since he's the odd man and not having a good time it showed in what he did at the table. When the DM called him on it, he...

I wish I could have picked more than one option on this poll! I went with "Monk Revisions" since my character is a Monk, but I'd vote differently if I were looking at the big picture instead. The promise to clarify things like Grapple I think is very nice; there are lots of corners of this...

Oooh! I hadnt seen that Demagorgon green before. That looks sweet. I was so-so on the Orcus that was just released, but I was tempted to get it just to frighten my players. (DM:"Can't play next session until I finish painting Orcus." Players: "Wha!?")

True that. Especially now that I have 6 of them to use I feel free to throw them out in sort of a "why not?" fashion. Not like I expect them to do anything, but if they were to work it would be a pleasant surprise. Though at very low levels (1-3) its frustrating to try and be intelligent...

I never noticed any 'boards on the Reaper site. (And I just checked again!) Whats the URL? -edit- Speaking of Reaper, has anyone heard anything about their plans for the Dark Heaven 25mm line now that they have started the 30mm Warlord line? It seems that the pace of Dark Heaven releases...

Is this is a Monk? No, this is a Barbarian trapped in a Monks body. Seriously, what is this guys AC and HP from levels 1-6? Sure, you can finally deal damage like a real Fighter, but your AC is what - 11 or 12? And you are +0 on CON for HPs with d8 Hit Dice? Good luck standing in a fight...

Greybar v. Seasong. Wow, that was a strong round. When I read Greybar's submission late last night I was sure that he would win - what are the chances that his opponent could top that story? But when I read Seasong's this evening, well, I knew it was going to be close. Fortunately, I dont...

I use a Krylon light grey spray primer. After that, I often give the fig a quick black wash. That picks out detail and fills in the crevasses at the same time and its fast to do. If I missed any mold lines or misunderstood some of the detail, that often shows up at this stage. I've been...

Did anyone else notice how many people talked about their monks in this thread and ended their story with "... he was fun until he died."? Low HPs hurt, because one sad day the DM is going to roll at 20 and your precious invulnerable AC goes to heck. The same with the saves. You live, up 'til...

Yes, I feel the same way. My friends reminded me that they were cheering for Asashoryu in Osaka, but I seem to remember him getting man-handled by some of the larger wrestlers in the critical matches. Consequently we were discussing how you get demoted from Yokozuna. We havent followed the...

Tangent: Not I. At 1800 lbs I was always worried that some soccer mom in a Lincoln Navigator would drive right over me and never notice. I do know people who have the Toyota Hybrid and are pretty happy with it. I look at the Insight as being on the cutting edge of technology, maybe...

So why are you trading in the 02 Maxima? Just curious, I've heard nothing but good things about it. And its seems new enough that you'll take a huge loss on the trade-in. I was lucky enough to live in LA when I bought my last car. If Dealer A cant give you a good deal today, then walk down...

I've seen this situation come up in a popular module. The designers used 2x 1st level guards against 4x 3rd level characters. With a little luck you can kill them with missile fire and sneak into the guarded whatzit. But it's still exciting - its not guarenteed by any means. One key is...

Mmmm, this typo is my favorite part: Or maybe its not a typo and the Brotherhood is up to some additional foul stuff in your world. ;-) It must have been tough to end the session on the stairs of the lighthouse with the fate of the world hanging in the balance!

I didn't allow the Assassin to auto-kill the Captain; after all, what fun is a dead pirate? ;-) And two Fighters with 18 STR (point-buy) made it so Jesswyn didnt have a chance to finish the work she started. Had to jump for it after one round, no time for the CDG. Actually, what all the...

How much was this priced at? Its just a like a Wand with some sort of nutty Contingency effect. I'll guess G1250; just under double the normal since it requires no effort, but the spell might be somewhat wasted. I ended up talking to two other DMs today who recommended not letting players...

I felt the same way. But I cant find anything in the DMG to back that feeling up. Did I miss something?

At low levels (where my players currently are) I was worried about this one, just because it seemed to provide an effectively infinite stream of +4 armor for a lot less than the Bracers. Dispel isnt a problem at level 2, so I didn't really consider it. And because of the Command Word, I...

I'd like to see a quick synopsis of how TiF ended if you get the chance. I'm running TiF right now and you left off right where I fear the real danger will start (crushy crushy!). Also, what level were your characters during these various events? I guess they must be first level since they...
