    What's WotC's reluctance for 2d6 weapons?

    The percentages here are a bit off. It actually works out to: 2: 1/36 3: 2/36 4: 3/36 5: 4/36 6: 5/36 7: 6/36 8: 5/36 9: 4/36 10: 3/36 11: 2/36 12: 1/36

    Is there some feat or something that allows an eighth level druid to wildshape into a huge animal?

    Port/ router help.

    To find out what port you're using, your firewall hopefully has a log showing what (if any) packets it's been denying. You should be able to figure it out from there. If there isn't a handy log, and you can't find out through the docs for your VOIP software, you could download and install...

    Tell me about Wikis

    In the next couple months, I'm going to co-locate a server and setup a campaign wiki. However, I'd like to start inputting data now. If I setup a wiki on a computer at home, will it be easy to transfer the data to the co-located machine later? What if I do it on a windows box at home and use...

    Technical Problem: Need Hardware/DSL Genius

    This might be unwanted software, but not spyware. The next time this behaviour is happening, open your network control panel, and double click on your local area connection. In the window that opens up, look at the packets sent number. If it's incrementing rapidly (like, if your computer is...

    Antimagic field

    Yeah, that's my fault. I did the teleport on the fly because it was the only way I could see for him to get some time to heal up and remanifest important buffs. However, I hadn't really planned for his retreat, so I didn't have a good place for him to go. Like I said, I'm new to DMing high level...

    Antimagic field

    Huh, I hadn't noticed that they added the "no action required" in 3.5. That certainly helps mages deal with AMF, though I have mixed feelings about it overall, but that's another subject (mainly, illusions just aren't quite as useful if they can be ID'd as they're cast).

    Antimagic field

    Everyone in the group had 15-18 class levels, so as previous mentioned by others, the fear aura wasn't too scary. Henry- yeah, it was a satisfying encounter for all involved, as the first phase of the battle was fun. I guess I'm really asking because later in the adventure, there's another...

    Antimagic field

    Well, this particular lich is part of an adventure where his lair is the inside of a huge undead dire bear. For future liches, a poison gas filled lair seems like a fine idea (sometimes- I don't want to use the same trick everytime they face a lich).

    Antimagic field

    There are some interesting comments here. I didn't give all the background. The party had been fighting him, beat him down to where he was near dead, so he teleported away. The party divined his new location, and went after him. This gave him a round to heal up and recast his buffs, but not much...

    Antimagic field

    So, I'm rather new to DMing higher level games. Last Saturday, I had this big climatic fight setup with a lich. Combat started, the lich rolled badly on initiative (6 total), and the party cleric cast antimagic field, and moved next to the lich, then all the party fighters dog-piled him in...

    Team America trailer

    My brother worked on this movie, and he says it's the funniest (and most violent) thing he's ever seen.

    Caracassonne vs. Settlers of Catan?

    T&E is for 3-4. Goa and Power Grid both work fine with two, and Puerto Rico works fine with a variant.

    Caracassonne vs. Settlers of Catan?

    Of the two, I prefer Carcassonne. Settlers just feels too much like craps to me, without the possibility to win money or the free drinks. Both of them boil down to playing probabilities. I strongly prefer the meatier, less luck intensive games in the genre, such as Puerto Rico, Princes of...

    [FDP] GenCon Releases!

    So I have a question. Is FDP going to do any more adventures (other than NeMoren's Legacy)? I know they're not the most profitable things a publisher can make, but you can count on a sale to me if that helps.

    Game Stores in LA?

    I had heard a lot of good stuff about game castle so I stopped by recently on a trip back from the 909 (don't ask). Anyway, it was small, poorly organized, and poorly stocked. Nobody talked to me until I had been standing at the register for a minute with books in one hand and my wallet in the...

    Game Stores in LA?

    I assume you're talking about me. I like Aero so much I don't go there more than a couple times a year. Aero is just the best of a bad lot. He's got a great selection, if you can find what you're looking for which is a huge if since he tends to just dump stuff into piles all over the floor...

    How does your group handle a character's Hit Points?

    I let them roll twice and keep the better roll. There's still randomness, and a chance for a bad roll, but in general they have above average hit points, which is fine with me. I feel the PC's deserve a bit of a break, since resurrection is nearly impossible IMC.
