True. But Unearthed Arcana was already out (or was put out the same time) and that was the trend for a bit. But, DLA at least put a cap at 18th level (though most people I knew promptly ignored it in their quest to become a Raistlin clone/killer.)

Since I do everything in OpenOffice Writer, I just create a single column table and manually cut & paste the data from Asmor's html file. Once you have one template, save it and use it over & over. Its a pain, but it comes out looking the best IMHO.

One of the other things I learned to do soon after we started was to convert a lot of the coin/art type parcel suggestions into Ritual Components, often things like: "You find a wild dingleberry bush; its leaves are worth 100gp in Rare Herbs." The problem I'm running into now is with coins...

This one. Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies! The scenario is that 2 x level 2 soldiers are guarding a bridge with an ogre to do the dirty work. The soldiers will sit back and unleash the ogre on the party. There are opportunities for the PC to slide the ogre off the bridge into a raging river below (my PC's seem...

Huff the paint, then sit down against the wall and wait to be eaten by a zombie.

I am trying to create an encounter and am unsure whether this would be overkill: 5 x level 3 PC's vs. 2 x Level 2 Soldiers and 1 x level 8 ogre skirmisher. Adding up the XP's, keeps it within the players range, but I am afraid that +5 level monster is way out of the player's league. The stats of...

Regarding Bax, I wouldn't get too hung up on whether he "builds out" properly. He is a monster after all (as evidenced by his Level 12 Soldier title) and was built using those rules. If you wish to spend a few hours statting him up with PC stats like 3E, then that's fine, but 4E doesn't require...

So, I received my monthly email from rpgshop and prominently displayed are a set of cheaters d20's. They have no 1 and 2 20's. I first thought, "cute." But then I started thinking, what possible use could these have and how likely are some of the more unscrupulous types to use these when I game...

Very cool. I love stuff like this. Too bad my old eyes can't read half size character sheets. . .

With the upcoming traditional War of the Lance campaign, the finding of the gods of good occurs after the first "module" so its not so much of an issue. They will be given an artifact with powers representing some of the cleric-y stuff. This artifact goes away after the gods are "found." The...

My upcoming Dragonlance game will not really remove the divine power source, but make any use of any power/effect, with the divine keyword unusable to any player until after they reach the "Rediscover the gods of light" chapter. Being a War of the Lance era game (where the gods have been absent...

Only time my group ever "restores from a save" is after a TPK. If at least one PC survives an encounter, s/he clearly is a superior player and the others must be punished with creating a new character, but if its a TPK, then obviously the DM cheated and we deserve a restore.

Does anyone know the origins of the 3 "new" races presented in 4E (Dragonborn, Tiefling, Eladrin) that weren't in OD&D/1E? Did they start as monsters in certain editions?

If you want another epic campaign, try the original Dragonlance series. Its not to everyone's taste (kender, aligned wizards, a bit railroady) but it is an absolute blast to play through. Unfortunately, its another series that many start but never finish. The best versions for 1E are the...

There is a 3.5E sourcebook by Sovereign Press/Margaret Weis Publishing for the Dragonlance setting called "War of the Lance" that has a base class called the Master. Its basically an enhanced version of the Expert who can specialize in 1 of 4 "professions:" Craftsman, Performer, Professional...

I believe there was a similar thread a week ago and the consensus was that vulnerabilities are applied AFTER normal damage is calculated and applied; you actually have to be damaged first before the vulnerability kicks in. So it would be (normal radiant damage / 2) + 5.

And neither American Express nor Discover Card have any idea what you are talking about if you ask for this. . .

I rule that its for all longswords, not just yours since the next sentence goes on to say that if you use another weapon "type," not another weapon period. They make the distinction of type.
