    How big is your world?

    Yes, I meant the Indonesia Archipelago. And yes, I change place name mostly using english names from small towns.

    How big is your world?

    My campaign map is the Indonesian Peninsula. The characters have spent 90% of their time on the Island of Borneo which is split into 2 major human kingdoms, 1 elven kingdom and many other settlements of various sizes and monsters. Of course, I renamed everything and flipped the map upside...

    Do you use psionics?

    I like Psionics but agree they don't have a place in every game. They do create a need for the DM to figure out why they exist alongside the divine and arcane as sources of power.

    ForceUser's Vietnamese Adventures Story Hour! (finis)

    Tran was an NPC.

    Summoning Sorcerer

    Trigger traps, quick scouting (hey, what's up around that corner). Distractions (this would only work if you took silent spell). If your DM allows it, I'd probably take that feat that allows you to drop lower level versions of spells when you get the higher level version (for example, drop...

    ForceUser's Vietnamese Adventures Story Hour! (finis)

    Poor Tran, he had come to the Imperial City with hopes of an administrator's life. In his months with us, he was happiest during the cleanup of the Golden Dragon after the battles against the Nezumi, for administration was truly his calling and his gift. For some reason unfathomable to Vinh...

    Hit Points, Hit Points, Hit Points

    I allowed rerolls in my current campaign for especially low #s through the first 10 levels. Next time, maximum hps at 1st and 2nd, roll from there on ...

    The Rape of Morne [Final Update]

    While I love many of the story hours written up, this is the only one I would describe as Literature. The way the story echoes the great works of western literature (Milton, Blade, Daunte) while presenting incredibly powerful moral dilemmas is unique among the stories I have read here. You and...

    Monotheism

    IMC, all known races are monotheistic but refer to the one god by different names. Each race has historical avatars who have come at trouble times and provided guidance in times of need. For example, an atlantis like continent was the home of the humans who now control the major continent and...

    Anyone made a Decay Domain yet?

    I'd add Epidemic from MoTW as a 9th level spell. Harm looks pretty good as a 6th as well.

    Rethinking the roles of Goblins, Orcs, Kobolds and so on

    Consider the idea of using kobolds as associated with dragon types and calling themselves the Chosen stolen. I've used a ton of kobolds in my current dragon based campaign but didn't think of this. If I ever use dragons heavily again, I will definitely go this route... In ForceUser's OA game...

    Any purist class characters? (no multiclassing)

    IMC, I have 3 monoclasses (14 Druid, Seer and Psychic Warrior), a Bladesinger and a 13/2 Cleric/Divine Agent. The cleric would have been monoclass, but he was selected by his deity when he became 14th level and had 2 levels of cleric turned into Divine Agent levels... I have 2 other players...

    ForceUser's Vietnamese Adventures Story Hour! (finis)

    I've been playing with ForceUser and Hjorimir for about 2 years now and I have to say, this trap caught us totally off-guard. The two of them tend not to use many traps in their dungeons, so this one was extremely effective.... From here on out, we went into full paranoia mode about any...

    How does your family view your hobby?

    I started playing when I was 13 (1979), my parents bought me all the books and were supportive as long as my grades were ok. The really odd thing is that same time is when my parents returned to the church (my mother eventually became a minister) and our associate pastor (he was about 28 at...

    Rolling characters...what's your favorite method?

    Organic Point Buy I got it off these boards, so I'm sure I got from Kenjib. I will take credit for the name however :D . As a side note, ForceUser didn't give the 4 pt bonus correctly, it's granted if you are 3 points or less from the target # (in our case 25 or more which is 3 short of...

    Statistical Analysis of the Classes - popularity vs. power

    The following opinion is from a man whose core 3e characters (not counting OA) are a ranger and a druid, so keep that in mind :D. It is my opinion that most people play the core four because everyone "knows" that you have to have those 4 classes to be successful. I don't agree, but that seems...

    Getting players to Move

    Sounds like you DM my group ;) First, it's their time. If they want to spend it cussing and discussing, I rarely interfere (unless of course, they are arguing loudly in a room next to a monster..). I figure less preparation for me the next session since this session's material will carry...
