    Dragon 361 Editorial

    Here's the rub: if their free content is supposed to provide us with an example of what is to be expected once it becomes a pay site .... and it is providing, at best, lackluster support ... the possible consequence that they will end the e-zine is a very real one. If people aren't happy with...

    Oots #509 is up...

    What if Elan picked up the Leadership feat, and she's his new (or rather, soon-to-be) cohort?

    Oots 501!

    Here. I wonder why Elan has an eyepatch?

    Player Revolt

    The only time I really experienced a true player revolt was when one of our good friends joined the game for a one-time thing and I gave that PC a powerful suit of armor. I was naive, and did not expect the backlash to having a guest be the 'star' of a single session. Short-term results: Very...

    JK Rowling reveals Hogwarts secret

    In her defense, she did manage to write 4200 pages of fiction in a fairly short period of time, and she did manage to make them enjoyable enough for readers of all age to read. I'd say she most certainly is not a hack. I've always figured that those that accuse her of such are merely jealous of...

    14 year old girl wants to join my game

    Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with a few people above: 1. Make sure you have talked to her parents. 2. Make sure you game in a public place. 3. If possible with time restraints and all, simply set up another group composed of teenagers and simply be their DM (as a teacher, this may or may not...

    October - What are you Reading?

    Heh, I'm going to be starting that as soon as I finish up 1066: The Year of the Conquest by David Howarth.

    animate objects and dead creatures

    Typo, a question for you. Would a large chunk of calcium carbonate, cast in the shape of a bone, be a valid target for Animate Object? As well, I think I have found a part of the Animate Object spell that ends this debate: Unless you consider corpses to be magical material, they are a valid...

    Lord Voldemort

    The trick to Harry Potter, at least as far as I have read and seen, is that most spells are low level and utility -- many can be described as 0th and 1st level spells. Only a rare few exceed 4th level in power, and only the top-dogs of the wizarding world can really do them. So the average...

    animate objects and dead creatures

    By RAW, anything that lacks a Wis and Cha score is an object. And corpses lack both, they are objects.

    Tell me about your best (and worst) campaign endings

    The best, and truthfully, only conclusive ending to a campaign was my first campaign I'd ever ran, which had run for about two years virtually weekly. The PCs ... a Human Wizard, Human Wilder, Thri'kreen-turned-Insectile Rogue, Winged Elf Archer-type, and Elven Cleric ... had been selected by...

    Dragonkin+Monkey Grip=best DPS?

    Pure absurdity goes to gestalt, though. A Werebear//monk can easily end up in the 500-damage-per-round (or 83 points of damage per second) to everything within reach of it, which by that level happens to be anything within 20 feet. If you're in a mob of some kind, with the entire area filled...

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban ... and after that, my various college text books. :\

    Myoga the Flea

    I'd say that they should at least rival Thri'kreens in terms of jumping ability ... so more like a +30 to jump. As well, perhaps it was just that Myoga was an Old naturally-high Int type, but he was extremely intelligent, with many ranks in knowledge. Of course, you're going for an average...

    Costs of upgrading

    Books now are $34.99 - $39.99 ... I don't expect the core books to be less than $34.99 a piece. Absolutely not. Not at all. I've spend far too much money on these books to ever really warrant changing editions. Why would WoTC offer any discounts?

    Puppet Master

    Thank you. And yeah -- there's some mechanical flaws that need fixing. Sweet. Ideas are always welcomed. :) At first, this was the idea ... but then my group and I got to thinking, and seeing as it isn't terribly hard to get a +10 Int modifier by level 20, this was unreasonable. I've...
