Spelljammer does not count, in my opinion, either. They have done DnDish genre breaking stuff before. Have not seen any sci fi, but Dark Magic in New Orleans was set in 1800s New Orleans. It was part of Masque of the Red Death setting in print Dungeon. I personally would friggin love a Gamma...

Maybe if the DM uses botch rules. :D But yeah, you are right. Even the sailor mooks would know it's not wise to be overboard. Fatigue levels and constant checks suck even if you do have pluses. And, the ship could move away. As DM I would rule it fails. But that is not to say it could not be...

Well.. 1. It's 60 feet range so you can not really do it ship to ship unless you are docked to it or are aboard. 2. Does not work if you ask creature to do something harmful. Man overboard in the middle of the sea can be deadly. Particularly if the crew is too busy to fish someone out.

There are no stats unless you are talking older edition in obscure books. I am thinking a weapon like that would be a 1d6 ranged and 1d6 melee house ruled in.

To keep down on insane archers. - An attack from a magic bow IS a magic attack even with regular arrows. - A non magic bow with a magic arrow is also a magic attack. - Pluses from arrows and bows don't stack. that could get way OP. - BUT, there is a reason to stack magic arrows with magic...

Do you level every other session on average? Every third? Fourth? Fifth? On one hand, you have the DM that want to preserve at least a veneer of believability and not go zero to hero "too" fast. On the other, how long before your players grow bored with their current abilities and want to...

2e had different XP tables for each class. Sucked to be a low level mage. And, too many tables. Unified XP is a good thing. But, outside of some mostly ho-hum on-the-rails Wizards Play style module or convention tournament, no one is going to haul you in to WotC HQ if you feel levels should be...

For years, with the exception of 4e, the fighter was the character you gave your little brother or sister. You roll your to hit. No special spells to keep track of save a few 3e feats. No need really to have a personal copy of the PHB or be lost. Just keep track of positioning and hit things...

I have always hated the convoluted system for determining XP since 2e. Depending on who runs it, it ranges from "OMG I am 10 points shy of a level. Lets find a giant rat and kill it" to some arcane accounting session that is so esoteric as to not be fun for me. Plus, story award + XP just is not...

But a multi class Moon Druid/ Monk sounds cool. Enough of my blaspemy digressions on possible cheesy game settings :D

Well, the whole idea of power rangers is that all of the episodes (play sessions) had a formula. It was like one of those Russian Dolls with layers of escalation. Otherwise, just a monk class with a homebrew suit would work. First, you had the regular human identity. These would be low stat but...

But some of you stat nerdz just KNOW you want official Drizzt stats from WotC and not what a homebrew DM can cook up so you can gawk. Just like 3e stats of Elminster or Mordenkainen that were in the 3e Epic Level book or any version of Deities and Demigods.

I did catch that one. But, the concentration spell rule really got me until I actually read it. I was under the impression it was like concentration worked in 3e. No. It actually limits how many concentration spells you can have going at once. It is like I heard a great disturbance with screams...

Exactly. I am thinking in the rare case someone asks to be one nowadays, Kender have immunity to fear and fear based effects. That would be a mechanical way of handling it. Even creatures immune to fear do have judgement unless they are mindless like some undead that are basically flesh robots.

You know, I have been sitting back soaking in others' opinions on this. After all, on another thread I was going WTF was the Drizzt hate about yet I would disallow Kender. I have since seen an example in thread of a responsible Kender player, so I need to rethink my policy on them or I am a...

Rings would have 0 weight unless we are talking in bulk. I guess if you want to be anal, a few ounces at best. It would only be a problem if you had hoard, were a jeweler, collector, or noble. Even then, unused rings would usually be in some kind of jewel case or box which would have it's own...

I still think I should geek out and totally write a pdf scenario about a hell feydark demiplane with an army of level 20 Drizzt clones. But, I may need the big bad guy to be a cult of level 20 Kender who stole the genetics to clone the Drizzt's as the "power behind the demiplane" that must be...

Just out of curiosity, outside of logistical things like moving a hoard or small armory from one location to another how many folks are really anal about encumbrance? I never see it a lot because I typically run very heavy planar campaigns. Well, not really inter planar but decent amount of...

Indeed. One time I was looking for a game. The 4e PHB3 had just dropped. Outside a gaming store, a potential DM met me. I wanted to try out the minotaur and also the warden class from PHB2. We had a wererat warden henchman in a previous game I played in that was pretty awesome and I was sold...

Good point! I was rereading this thread and wanted to touch on this. Tasslehoff and Kender in general tends to actually encourage obnoxious game mechanics. Not just clueless, uncreative fanbois but actual game trolls. Kender "borrow" items from other PCs. I guess it was meant to be "fun" in...
