Well, I don't think that I will have to worry about offending the party cleric. We don't have one. I took a level of cleric at character level 1 simply because nobody wanted to be one. We are now 5-7 level in character level. There is one other single classed wizard, but I don't think that...

I'm trying to convince my DM to allow the Mystic Thurge prestige class in his campaign. I have some great ideas about how to incorporate it into his home-cooked campaign in terms of background, etc., and why my character would be interested in the class from a role-playing perspective. He...

Well, well, well, I will selectively edit out most of your post. No offense, but really in the interest of space. Your analysis is very strong analysis, IMO. I have come to similar conclusions myself about the efficacy of spellcasters at the higher levels, after reviewing many of the monster...

[ Which is the epitome of BAD GAME DESIGN. If you have to make choice A to stay viable, then choice A is not a choice. Indeed, choice A, should be a class feature. The underlying mechanic needs to be repaired to restore the Option to choice A. Spell Focus was nerfed to stop the Red...

Besides, it also takes 2 feats now instead of 1 to get the same +2. Feats (unless you are a fighter) are not that easy to come by.

Amazing. I don't post that often, however, when I do start a new topic, I seem to generate quite a bit of controversy. Anyway, I have been reading the responses with a fair amount of interest, and here are my additional thoughts on this: 1. SF, and GSF are not completely useless; just not as...

Yep. that was my sense of it. Essentially a worthless feat now.

Ok. It has been awhile since I posted anything, however, the question says it all. While I personally think that this feat was one of the must haves for any wizard with its +2 to DC's for the spell school chosen, my question is whether it still is worth taking? Any thoughts on this? I'm...

I have been trying to be prompt, however, I will be out of town this weekend, and have no access to the internet, until late Sunday, (West Coast U.S.), but I'll be interested to see what posters have to say in my absence. If I get any responses from the DM that are worthwhile, I will post them...

Experienced DM Interestingly enough, he is a very experienced DM, to the extent that he is writing gaming material for some of the smaller d20 companies out there. For obvious reasons, his identity will be kept silent and anything posted will be highly sanitized. Suffice to say, he is very...

Actually, my last e-mail indicated to him that I was no longer having fun. I'll be interested in seeing his response. Good point, I will ask him why he thinks this campaign is fun now?

Some comments fell off Sorry, some material fell off:

Re: Re: Re: Re: Bah! Humbug! I have e-mailed him with an initial set of comments, and he replied. Since some of the comments have gotten a little personal already, I'm skeptical that this will be resolved favorably. But, I have e-mailed him with a second set of comments with the hope that we...

Re: Bah! Humbug! Absolutely!! This is exactly why the "suggested" tables were created - to help with game balance!! If part of the reason why creatures have a higher CR is that they have special abilities. i.e. damage reduction, it has to follow that characters will have the ability to...

Ok. Point taken. Thanks for your clarification. I can see how your view would provide a different experience, and role-playing event. I probably am being a bit spiteful, and when I talk to the DM in this game and explain to him why I think he went beyond what a DM should have done in the...

METAGAMER By the way, based on my reading of the lycanthrope template, and some other posters on this board, the DM's view of the wererats running around destroying stuff may not fit with the true nature of a "ravening beast". A feral creature may well try to escape its cage after looking...

Actually he does know that he and the other wererat ate the party member. They saw the remains when they woke up the next day. And since there was no way out of the room they were in, and the other pieces belonged to the dead party member, they knew the deceased. In addition, they knew that...

You know, I would tend to agree with you. It appears that there are other posters out there who seem to think that a player who actually wants to become herioc, and get some treasure and magic items and not have a DM capriciously take them away must be METAGAMING!! Sorry, I think that is a cop...

I have DM'ed in past campaigns and even DM'ed with this group where the existing DM was a PC. Trouble is, I actually enjoy being a player more. I have a lot of respect for people who DM since I have done it myself. I know the work that goes into being a good DM and creating campaigns etc...
