    Today is my birthday

    I turn 21 today. I also was in battle with an Old Red Dragon today during the first minutes of the day. All in all that is pretty cool.

    What was I doing?

    I have a great deal of trouble explaining to people that I am not abnormal. I get 8-10 hours of sleep every night...those hours are usually 6am-2/4pm. I have the hardest time falling asleep by midnight. Ive tried laying in bed, getting up early, everything I could think of. I am meant to be...

    Excursion to Gronar's Tomb (Full)

    Huzzah! I will aid another if a Heal check is needed (I only have two ranks in it).

    I have a character with a great backstory but no stuff.

    I dont have access to BoED. I have core and Complete books. I think that the benefit of the Mithril Shirt far outweighs the 10%ASF.

    I have a character with a great backstory but no stuff.

    Thanks for the quick response. Is it wrong that Im overly concerned with arcane spell failure? Should I not be? I just dont want to get into a position where I really need a spell and I roll a 9%.

    I have a character with a great backstory but no stuff.

    It's the first time this has ever happened to me. I made a elf sorc12 with a pretty good backstory for an upcoming LG(ish) campaign but I have no idea what to equip him with. He's a LG follower of Bahamut with a LG paladin of Bahamut cohort and a young silver dragon cohort. Ive got 88k in...

    (OT) Ohio Renaissance Festival!

    I went last year after I got back from Bolivia...funny, the only part I really remember was the turkey leg. I think it may have been a +2 turkey leg because it overcame my DR. Its a fun time regardless.

    Risk, the board game -- how to end

    Nuclear Risk. If you control a nuclear power you can send a one missle (for every 10 armies in the your territory) to one territory. The missle immediatley devastates all armies in that territory and no other army may enter that territory for 3 more rounds (fallout). In my experience this has...

    It angers up the blood...

    Sometimes mistakes make great marketing...Heck, we are talking about it now so it seems as if it worked.

    How to maintain wealth?

    If the Wizard is LG, have him place his tower overlooking some small community. Instead of taxing the community set up a trade with them. If they pay X% of their earnings and keep your tower nice looking for you while you adventure then you will be the protector of the community. Voila...

    Do you use ideas from the Iron DM contest?

    Forgive me. As you are the inventor I will modestly change my accronym. My girlfriend is a chemical engineer and I have a feeling that I picked up that slang from her...

    Excursion to Gronar's Tomb (Full)

    Gonna have to give it the Ash Bash...err Slam. Ash has a somewhat inspired feeling seeing his fallen comrade rise again to fight.

    Is this wrong?

    I dont think its wrong unless you do something mean to his network. In my mind its like using the shade from his trees...it makes no difference if youre nice.

    Your favourite traps

    Pit trap. Why mess with the original? I like to use pit traps because it spawns skill checks (climb, use rope, spot...) saves and it rewards the purchase of rope. BTW I run a fairly low level campaign (clvl4), ergo, ymmv.

    Do you use ideas from the Iron DM contest?

    color me enthralled I just got exposed to FeDM this week. I am enthralled with it in its entirety. As a DM I am touch and go with ideas. Reading this contest has given me a creative spark that has positively effected my adventures enough that I feel more confident. Reading over a list of 6...

    Dragon Cohort Question

    Drat, Hypersmurf you are (as usual) correct. I cant beleive I overlooked that even after it was pointed out. I suppose I could get a Wyrmling (ECL 11-3=8) and have it age with me (Wyrmling is 0-5 years, Very Young is 6-15). The stats would be a little lower, but they would increase after I...

    Dragon Cohort Question

    Well, a Paladin1 with full plate and a heavy steel shield would still have AC 20. Not great for a party level 12 but enough to stand between me and a bad guy. Would my human form cohort get 2 feats (1 for first level and 1 human bonus)? Would he keep his breathe weapon (after all, he still...

    Dragon Cohort Question

    I have access to Draconomicon. The feat Dragon Cohort allows me to subtract 3 from the ECL of the dragon. Table 3-14 Dragon Cohorts (pg 139) has a Very Young Silver labeled as ECL 14. Subtracting 3 from 14, due to Dragon Cohort, gives it an ECL of 11 which is within my Leadership...

    Dragon Cohort Question

    Ah, I see it now. I didnt notice the italics under the table. Thanks for pointing that out Elephant. That is one less question.
