Is that true? I considered the level difference in starting gold to be an important contribution to the balancing factor of ECLs. I sure wouldn't want to equip my ECL charcters that way...afterall an ogre character has no need to spend gold on any natural armor items and can focus this gold...

I've found that gaming "around" is helping me out alot. I DM pretty regularly but I want to 'know" what other good DMs do in their games (I don't stick around long in games that I don't think the Dm is very good). I incorporate what parts of the DM style I like and leave the rest. What I get is...

battles, battles, and more battles mate! experience is the best teacher (and watching players that have alive characters can be beneficial as well). That being said, it's very difficult to come up with a general battle treatise for group tactics because so many of the situations that arise...

And what would help prevent the loss of potentially thousands of dollars in cattle....how about a good pair of dogs? :D

Personally, the whole splitting until there's 64 llittle 1 HP black puddings sounds like a tedious job for combat, and boring. In all honesty, I'd allow the pudding to split as many times as it has whole number Hit Dice. 8HD to start, 4HD (2), 2HD (4), 1HD (8). No more spliting, after that it...

Cool. Yeah, it sounds reasonable enough to me too. Thanks for letting me bounce it off ya Hyper. :p

Well, Bluff specifically says: "on your NEXT attack, opponent is not allowed their dex bonus". So in the following round the rogue makes his full-attack with sneak attack bonus and an extra melee attack granted by Exp Tactician. Hmmm, I think I got it, thanks Hyper. Edit- though only the first...

Hmm, I'm confused, isn't it possible to use a partial action granted by Haste and a second partial action from your round and then make a full-attack though?

Hello all, I haven't seen this topic yet but perhaps it was discussed some time ago, but does this tactic work for all you would-be rogues? Bluff Skill (PHB p. 64)- feinting in combat, requires a std action, opponent loses dexterity bonus for your next attack if successful. Expert Tactician...

http://www.accessdenied.net/ http://www.rpgregistry.com/ http://boards.wizards.com/community-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=279 http://www.wickedclean.com/rpgpl/index.htm ...to name a few, though you prob already checked a couple of these. Anyone know any others I may have missed?

D'oh too bad you didn't move into the KC-Topeka area, I live in Lawrence. Best of luck to getting a game group together, I've gamed in Wichita before, I'll see if I can't find those old numbers and maybe send a couple of emails your way, I'll have to check on that. I know how much of a hassle it...

IMC for friendly multiple polymorphs I like to introduce the random chance of permanent mutation :D

It's not that useless, say you want to escape notice and quickly turn yourself into a harmless little bat. Or your trying to escape a jail cell and turn yourself into a bat to fluter out the barred window. I disagree, still useful.

Somehwhat OT but, cast Scatterspray on a bunch of marbles at the MI'd mage's feet. Reflex save for the mage and images, any images hit cancel out right? since they've come into contact by another object? Just wanted to run this by some folk as it came up in the last game.

And a doozy of a house rule it is. Wow, that's one broken game you got going there. Why on earth would you want to change that rule?? There is a very good reason sneak attacks aren't doubled on a critical. Logically then all sneak attacks must be doubled on a critical in your game, ack...

Gee this thread would be a whole lot nicer if Hong didn't "pretend" to contribute to it with his unwanted commentaries. Sheesh. I just skip over those nitpicking parts that contributed oh so very little to the thread discussion. Annoying.

Then check out the last issue of Dragon Magazine. They listed quite a few new monsters as well as guidelines for expanding them yourself. edit- That would be the December '02, Issue 302 of Dragon Mag

Yeah, I definately agree on that. The less dice to roll as DM the better, but players should always get a chance. Thanks Kreynolds. I do have some more questions that this thread has brought up for me. The bead still detonates though when it hits the archer right? How about firing a fireball...

;) no you're fine Kreynolds, I had a mental slip for a sec there is all. As for the Reflex save I wouldnt bother with it at all. The numbers are already there for us, so use 'em. The Touch AC for an archer is 10 base + 10 cover + dex (~22 for a dex 14) so roll the touch and if you get 22 or...

Are there range modifiers for doing that?
