    Multiclassed penalty and CR

    "Power Curve" The main problem resides in the significantly lower "power" of multi-classed PCs compared to their single class counterparts. Unearthed Arcana goes a long way in correcting that with Gestalt characters (qv). That elf would be better off paying the XP penalty but getting the...

    Lycanthropes - As tough as it gets (a rant against 3.5 DR).

    IMO, 3e DR rules were fine ; 3.5 DR rules are unpalatable

    PCs breeze through my monster!

    From SRD "Rust (Ex): A rust monster that makes a successful touch attack with its antennae causes the target metal to corrode, falling to pieces and becoming useless immediately. The touch can destroy up to a 10-foot cube of metal instantly. Magic armor and weapons, and other magic items made...

    Cold Iron Brilliant Energy Longsword?

    Living Tissue (a parenthesis) If brillant-energy ignores any non-living material, would it not ignore dragon scales ? Presuming such to be horn / nail type material, that is DEAD material as opposed to living ! So is horn (with some bony exceptions), nail, hair, hoof, etc...

    Bad House Rules

    I presently have an excellent DM with a bad house rule (can't win 'em all): Fumbles on a 1 go to a table. Problem is, one tank has +16 to hit, so if he misses anything between AC10 and AC16, it's a fumble ??? Let alone the table goes to % and has nasty effects like "do triple damage to...

    Ever benched a GM?

    I've benched myself, away from a group. It really was another DM's group, and the players were fine, but I joined the group as player and co-chair. Made up a character fitting their then current level. My "honorable" colleague first ran us through "The Speaker in Dreams". We had a good time and...

    Magic Bazaar Blues

    Whether or not they FIND the items, they can, if they so wish (unless house rules dictate alternate mechanics) CRAFT their own items. The only brake applicable is a complete lack of downtime, thus disallowing such crafting. The "wealth per level" does not take into account the cumulative...

    Should an NPC bad guy get to coup de grace?

    Even Break We all like to give players an eve nbreak... errrr, well, some of us DMs do :) The opponent may take the time to drink a potion, cast a spell, re-poison his weapon or other favorable tactics. If no such option ios available, he's not just going to stand there (so the PC becomes...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Vampiric Regen in 3e / 3.5

    A World of Hurt Well, the many-armed, multi-attack demon who slammed us had TWO of those things (which vanished as we finally slew "it") ; 2 weapons allowing "vampiric regeneration" is greatly painful :eek: (trust me on that one). The "wrathful healing" above does indeed appear to be the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Vampiric Regen in 3e / 3.5

    The 2E version, quote "A rarer kind of ring of regeneration is the vampiric regeneration ring. This bestows one-half (fractions dropped) of the value of hit points of damage the wearer inflicts upon opponents in hand-to-hand (melee, non-missile, non-spell) combat immediately upon its wearer. It...

    Want to see who is using DTRPG?

    Why Worry ? From the looks of things, either this function has only been in use for the past 72 hours, or reg'd names only stay re'g for such a period (if you look at the "Joined" dates). Which also enabled a quick survey of the marketplace with respect to the annoying (at least imho)...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Vampiric Regen in 3e / 3.5

    Painful... Needless to say that the 47hp of damage on my wizard, and roughly 60 hp damage on the party cleric (of Torm) made the situation... painfully awkward. So, opinions as to enhancement bonus and CR adjustments ???

    D&D 3E/3.5 Vampiric Regen in 3e / 3.5

    What would be your guess as to the equivalent enhancement weapon bonus for vampiric regeneration ? This extremely powerful power was available in 2e but our DM has recently slammed us with a multi-armed demonic creature bearing not one, but TWO vampirtic regeneration weapons (out of four) ...

    Worst Beers Ever.

    Worst beer ? Laurentide Ale by Molson (a Canadian product) ; akin to horse urine.... :)
