In two campaigns my character ended up with a rapier named "Vern" It was only +1 but it was intelligent....and really annoying. It thought it was the most powerful magic item in existence and said so every available occasion. Funny thing was, I never bothered to get it identified. So I just...

It's really fun to have a high level druid be someone's familiar. I am not sure that works too well with rogues though.

Is there any reason to mention clerics since the release of that new book: Players Handbook v3.5 "Because we really had to nerf clerics"

Isn't there somekind of "expert" class in the DMG that gets oodles of skill points?

I could see paying for content that was a character with custom spells and/or magic items that were linked to the character's past or had an interesting story to them. In that case one could probably say that you are paying for the items/spells (which people already do). Otherwise I really...

Reaper minis rule. And in the past I have sometimes made a character or NPC based on simply wanting to use a cool miniature.

Imagine a 6' 6", 250 lb muscle-bound bard complete with the floppy shoes and hat with bells.......in Ravenloft :uhoh:

The gods in my campaign world fall into two categories. The first is the one god that existed originally. This god has no sentience. It represents the elements of creation. The other gods came about later. They were exceptionally powerful people that something happened to. That "something"...

Thanks T. I have been wondering how it would be to use some of these classes (Magister at least) with regular spells instead of those listed in AU. I do like the "simple, complex, exotic" bit. That's pretty neat! I guess I should get around to actually reading all the spells :)

I would say that a WIS 20 gives him the insight on when to keep his mouth shut (but most of the time he annoys the heck out of people). So he knows not to tell the King he's an idiot....but as soon as the King is out of sight he "starts in".

I don't go in for munchkin but my campaigns are usually a little on the higher-powered side. For instance, my last two campaigns were point buy (something like 36-40 points). I like the characters to be heroic. This usually doesn't work out (based on how they decide to play) but I try :)

Do the classes and races translate well into campaigns run with the regular PHB? IE. has anyone tried lifting a few classes or races into their campaign? How did it go? ps. And by "translate well" I also mean, "were there any balance issues?"

I agree. There are some sick classes or multi-class combinations that really only become viable with high stats. Paladins and clerics become much more potent with higher stats. A paladin and cleric really need 4 or 5 good stats to be an awesome fighter. Paladin Str 17 Dex 16 Con 17 Int 14...

Sometimes you just know the DM is going to try to kill you. My favorite story was when one of my friends in a campaign and the DM told the party that while they were in town they could "sell anything you have for book price and buy anything you want for half book price." :eek: He immediately...

This is why I simply prefer the point system (as both a player and a DM). If you want heroic with the points systems just use something like 40 points. Of course I think your DM has a terrible notion of heroic. The standard die rolling method for 3e now is 4d6(best 3 dice). That's 24 dice on...

So, um, which parts of d20 *are* used? It sounds like just about everything was thrown out!

Bad words to hear from another character: "I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that Nefastus [our arch-nemesis] won't be bothering us anymore. The bad news is that's because gods can't enter the prime material plane"

You made a mistake: Ride Off On The Women is 5 words.

That's as bad an idea as an all-gnome group. :p

I am hoping Altalazar will tell the story about how half the party (he was DM) spent a long time investigating the (polymorphed) sperm whale that showed up in the river next to our camp while the other half of the party was getting mauled in the woods. Yes, we checked underneath for hidden...
