    "The next ______"?

    Funny, that's the exact OPPOSITE of the reaction that I've mostly been seeing for them. Good-aligned sentient undead make sense already, particularly for types like ghosts. Spirits of the wrongfully slain or those with an unfinished purpose left to fulfill, clinging to the the world of the...

    Who would you probe first & why.

    Hmm... considering that the vast majority of them seem to have sticks of varying sizes lodged up their posteriors, I'd say that most of the Harmonium would probably benefit from a good probing.

    Dice Survivor, Round 2

    I've OWNED one. And if any die ever deserved to be voted off the island, it's that one. The sodding thing was virtually spherical, HUGE (almost tennis-ball size), and tended to not stop rolling. Worse, when it did finally stop, even with a magnifying glass you couldn't tell what number it had...

    Critter Bits and Magic Recipes!

    Yes, here it is... after a bit longer of a wait than I'd intended. All of this is from Dragon 308... I was considering including the illithid-created symbiotes as well, but I decided that they're closer to being creatures than items, so I'm omitting them so as not to make this even longer...

    No combat in a whole session

    Our Planescape campaign has been going on for... I think a little over half a year now, and we've entered combat all of twice. One of those combats lasted two sessions, and the other was over in approximately one round. Negotiation is far more normal for us.

    D&D vs. Real Life

    In the Planescape campaign I'm in, I play a friendly, shy illithid with a fondness for fish and a tendancy to be overly apologetic. In real life.... I'm much the same, only without the tentacles. (And the angst.) In Planescape, my favorite cube is a rogue modron. In real life, my favorite...

    Monster Names

    Open Call to all Dragon Readers Unfortunately, I think that was when my subscription lapsed and I missed an issue before the renewal went through... On a roleplaying forum THIS big, though, it's practically certain that someone has that issue, though... It's just a matter of getting them...

    Critter Bits and Magic Recipes!

    Ehh, well..... I kind of suck at making tables function on the forums, and the article didn't really do anything more than list- aside from the few I quoted at the end, it was pretty flavorless. "Such and such can substitute for X amount of exp/gp of materials in the creation/casting of such...

    Critter Bits and Magic Recipes!

    Thanks for the reminder bump- I've got two issues of Dragon which each have a LOT of critter bit content. Power components from Dragon 317: ghaele heart (atonement- evil caster), gelugon heart (atonement- good caster), essence of any kind of elder elemental (awaken), lillend tail (commune- evil...

    How many PC deaths do you see per session?

    In all of SIX CAMPAIGNS I've seen a grand total of about six or seven deaths... and one of those was when a player deliberately ran his character into a suicidal battle just so that he could roll up a new one that wasn't so unbalanced. Granted, not all of these campaigns ran to completion...

    Tonberry and Final Fantasy monsters

    Tonberry Malboro/Morbol Err, are we thinking of the same monsters here, Mithral? I really don't see how anyone familiar with tonberries/ master tonberries as plants- They're the little fishtailed lizardy-looking guys. Despite the name, they aren't related to berries in any way. FF11...

    3 PCs (Party Level 6) "breeze" through EL 9 encounter

    The thing about the CR system is that it's VERY strongly built around the assumption that you've got the classic 4: a wizard, a rogue, a cleric, and a fighter. The more you deviate from this assumption, the more "off" the system will be. An all-melee party like yours is going to breeze through...

Dungeon 104 Cerra, female centaur Lucien, male centaur Renders, quaggoth tribe Maolo, male wild elf Kriva, female wild elf Veris, male wild elf Garth, male centaur Alza, female centaur Mobuthula, male quaggoth...

    Critter Bits and Magic Recipes!

    The promised spreadsheet is within inches of being finished, but first I'd like to gift you with a few more (mostly so I can get these Dragon magazines put away before I have to ship out to college again). Dragon 190 has a bunch of variant unicorns, with a bunch of variant users resulting as...

    Monster Names

    While going through stuff to get ready for college, I found a whole bunch of old Dragon magazines in a box in my closet... so here's a bunch of names for you. Dragon 190 Tawnwater, psionic hawk Feldrin Winkwinter, male (human) ghost (Faerun) Seridus, male actaeon Dragon 234 Bloodfang, dog...

    [Bad Luck] The Paladin cannot save... :-\

    I had a paladin... well, paladin-equivalent is more accurate... who could not make a Spot check to save her life. Literally. She once fell off a boat when it was hit by a displacement sort of spell because she failed the check so badly. Even after shifting into hawk form (this is where the...
