    Monkey archery

    As an aside, I remember playing Curse of the Azure Bonds (old TSR computer game) and in the Thieves guild you have to fight slinging firing monkeys. They were annoying as hell. As for bows, I doubt an ape would have the necessary build to fire one.

    Creating Magic Items with rare components?

    I would have your DM come up with something appropriate (maybe as a quest item) that you could then use... For a bag of holding, maybe the cloth must be woven from the silk of a phase spider. It is something that you could realistically expect to find in an upscale magic shop and it very well...

    Banks & Taxes: rules/suggestions?

    Of course you could simply implemant a very simple banking system... Bedder's Interdimensional Bank The bank is so secure that it cannot be robbed. However, they pay no interest on your deposit. You merely need spend a flat rate of 5gp per month for unlimited access to your funds. With...

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    My view on this is simple.... There may very well have been a reason she behaved that way that had nothing to do with me. But I also feel that if I have done nothing wrong, then she has no business treating me like I did. I also know this is somewhat unrealistic and that people carry over bad...

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    It has nothing to do with a chip. I don't have one honestly. I'm merely pointing out the inherent dangers of approaching the opposite sex. Granted, the majority of girls (and guys) are rational and sane. But there are a few (on both sides) that have really managed to screw things up for the rest...

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    The problem with meeting and dating the opposite sex nowadays is that men are restricted by so many laws as to what they can and cannot say and do. Courting is now called stalking. Wooing is harassment. What once was considered charming is now called creepy. You practically need a team of...

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    First of all, DO NOT "hit on" a girl.... that in itself is creepy. Be sure you are presentable (clean, don't smell wierd, brush your teeth). Approach the person and say something like this... "Excuse me. Sorry for disturbing you but I couldn't help but notice you there from across the (room...

    Share the Tale of the Best Date Ever

    I made dinner for my (now) fiance on our first date. It was sweet and sour Mandarin orange beef over orange infused rice. Simple yet elegant. Did I mention our relationship will reach level 8 (8 years together) in 3 weeks? I must have done something right.

    Overused DnD words for 2005 (it's that time again) [merged]

    Actually, I said I am surrounded by people who brag about being able to read Hop on Pop. You are right that it is good that more people read books. What bothers me is that the quality of available reading material has dropped severely. What bothers me more is that functional literacy is...

    Overused DnD words for 2005 (it's that time again) [merged]

    Shameless Hijack.... with apologies Gah!! I am sick of Harry Potter! HP this and HP that. Where are all the GOOD books? As a kid I read authors like Heinlein, Asimov, Bradbury, and Tolkien... Today I shake my head at the rampant illiteracy around me. I see grade three students bragging that...

    Bad Paladin... or My First Paladin thread...

    I think this is a great concept for a Paladin. It highlights (at least for me) the idea that a character does not necessarily "choose" to become a paladin... they have the choice thrust upon them by their god. Like a Cleric, a paladin is a tool of their deity. Who are they to question the divine...

    How does a chaotic society function?

    I like to think of a chaotic society as closely resembling something like Feudal Europe. Each individual country was ruled by Law, yet the society as a whole was chaotic, what with ever changing borders, alliances, treaties, etc. Contrast that with Drow society as an example. Chaos (social and...

    How does a chaotic society function?

    I disagree here. The drow, while worshipping a Goddess of Chaos, are , in their twisted way, a Lawful society. There are hard a fast rules that are adhered to within Drow society and any who dare break those laws face severe punishment. I'll use as an example the method of gaining House Status...

    Yet Another Paladin Behaviour Thread! Yay! Weeee!

    Is it written in stone that the critter is dead? Maybe make it only MOSTLY dead? I would honestly hate to have to abandon a storyline this rich. However, like all things, if it's past, it's past... *sigh*

    Players Completely Ignoring Adventure Hooks

    My take on this is simple. Giving a player a gentle (or not so gentle) nudge in the right direction is not rail roading. Sometimes players become clueless mouthbreathers when all those pretty dice are on the table, and thus, require a little guidance in which way to go. It is only when you...

    Help! Need to spend loot!

    Ok... This Christmas I was blessed with an insane amount of disposable Christmas cash. The problem is I don't know what to spend it on. Normally I would be sorely tempted to blow the whole wad on DnD books, but ever since my group dried up, I have been without a fix. So, I have decided that I...

    What I want our PW to be(A Poll) [UPDATE - CHAINMAIL DECIDED]

    Just so we are clear here... We are no way shape or form going back to PoA? I ask this because I have several PoA chars that I really like and I would really hate to have them lose all their swag just to be dropped back into PoA without any goodies. If we are sticking with CM then I shall...
