    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    Hmm, Im not sure as I dont have access to my books but there isnt any requirement for Healers to be good is there? In fact, I dont think there is any requirement for evil Clerics to channel negative energy. Allera could in fact be a deep cover agent of Orcus who has been spontaneously...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    One quick question from someone unfamiliar with Palnescape. Who or what are the Rilmani? I get the impression they aresome sort of defenders of the balance ut thats about it. Are they more concerned with the good/evil or law/chaos struggle or both? Given the powers involved on either side...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    Excellent, I have thoroughly enjoyed this so far and cant wait to see what Monday brings. I was surprised to find that the group found an exit. You mentioned that they had another 20 levels or so to go so I was sure they would find the shaft blocked up and be forced to fight their way back...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    Excellent update. How did your players react when the realised they had to fight her for the first time? What about the second? As for the body 2 options spring to mind. Leave it the hell alone and run, very fast and very far or take it somewhere it cant be retrieved. Pitiless or an upper...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    I would choose Barnabus. He may be absent minded but hes a delver and a tinkerer. He seems more likely to let his students get on and explore things for themselves than be too restrcictive. Of course, that could have implications in itself.

    What was so magical about 1E/OD&D art?

    WoTC or rather HASBRO) will do whatever is necessary to keep them afloat as a company and to make them money. Shockingly that is what companies are set up to do. Its not some sort of evil conspiracy and to doom all of gamerland and to sugges totherwise is rather foolish. This was a lesson TSR...

    What was so magical about 1E/OD&D art?

    Yes, far more so than the poorly drawn ink line drawings of the 1e dmg , phb and mm.

    What was so magical about 1E/OD&D art?

    Its amazing how much nostalgia combined with a bit of 1e/3e rivalry can spawn quite so much rambling debate. You arent related to diaglo by any chance are you? Personally I much preferred the art in the old D&D red-white boxes and the RC. The original 1e PHB/DMD/MM stuff looked and felt...

    My 13th-level druid... wow...

    Personally i would be happy that my level 13 - 17 opponent spent his time trying to dispel my buffs rather than Imploding the Wizard, Dominating the Fighter or Rogue or Forcecaging the Priest.

    Teleportation Effects

    I agree, and yet none of the default settings ever seem to take account of the issue. Fantasy Kingdoms are still wasting their time and money building castles with flat accessible roofs in a world where any old schmuck can slap a Spider Climb on his ninja stealth assassins to sneak in and open...

    Teleportation Effects

    Should I ever run another DnD campaign I would implement something similar. I had two possible ideas for altering teleport mechanics: 1. When you teleport you dont automatically appear at your location. You spend a short period of time (3 rounds or so) travelling at great speed through the...

    Optimized mage combos

    12k is not much to work with. Does your GM allow you to make your own items and pay the crafted cost or does he charge the full price? Spell Research is pretty much out at 1k/spell level.

    Optimized mage combos

    IMO Staves are just awful for most people. They are far too expensive for the benefit they provide. as a Wizard what you want is Wands, lots and lots of wands of spells where the DC or Caster Level isnt that important. Stuff like Detect Magic, Light, Feather Fall, Protection from Alignment...

    (Cydra) Great Conflicts

    Having read further through the thread its apparent that the party did attack the Bastion after the TPK but not very successfully. Then some of them agreed to attack it again on Vuivuvi in exchange for shiny shiny loot. Also, just spotted this little exchange which really should have alerted...
