I also fall into the 3.x crowd. There are some downsides (munchkinism), but they are tolerable balanced against the better ruleset. To me, 2E will forever be the red-headed middle child - outranked by it's draconic older brother and outshined by it's illustrious younger sibling. Maybe I'll take...

LOL - Initiative can be tricky sometimes...... :uhoh:

I suppose that is true. I will edit it out. Cheers

Funny. Until maybe two days ago I hadn't been on the boards since November. Not that I am a regular contributor, but I would usually pop on a few times a week. But then I started a new relationship and the holidays were here and we were playing D&D every Sunday for 8-10 hours, and i was...

Please, no........ and as a reminder (from the Rules): BTW, Darkness, I will be in Wien on the 5th of March before heading to Budapest. Yes, I know, an odd time to go, but it's less crowded with tourists. edited for content Cheers

At least for a 6th level spell it is.

By no means am I lobbying for it to be accessible to the Arcane. I almost exclusively play Clerics and I enjoy the elation and envy on the face of any Arcane-type when I cast it upon them. You all bring up valid points. Especially the defense nature vs. the offensive nature. I also agree that...

I just stumbled across this the other day and thought I would share it with you. An adaptation of Monty Python's The Holy Grail opens on Broadway in March. It's called Spamalot. I realize that this may have been posted on the boards by now, but in the off chance that someone missed it I am...

I know the guitar player from the Waitresses - she's a bartender now.

Yes, it ultimately comes down to what your DM thinks. I can see an argument being built versus Dimble's transgressions against Chaos. Choice is an absolute to chaotic characters, and though Dimble did give them a choice I wonder if their options were really "options." Atonement? Maybe. Again...

This is not a grouse, more just a head-scratcher. I would think that Spell Resistance would be an Arcane spell as well. Your thoughts?

Egg Drop Ramen - sounds good. This one is a bit more labor intensive, but very easy. Buy a tube of Pilsbury biscuits and a can of Cream of X soup (Chicken, Celery, Onion, Mushroom, whatever). Preheat your oven to 375 F. Take 2 biscuits and smush them together with your hands and then flatten...

Man, that's a tough one.... there are so many that come to mind. I'd have to say Tom Traubert's Blues by Tom Waits

I listen to Indie Pop Rocks and also to some of the Americana stations (Folk, Bluegrass). It's a great way too get exposed to music-especially since it's free.

Here, I thought I'd post this just for grins and for old times sake (1e DMG, p.119): Potion Miscibilty The magical mixtures and compounds which comprise potions are not always compatible. You must test the miscibility of potions whenever: 1) two potions are intermingled, or 2) a potion is...

For what it's worth (which ain't much), we play that there is a 25% chance of hitting the wrong target in a grapple. I don't know if it's a carry over from the old days, but we like the flavor. However, as stated above, by the rules there is no chance of hitting the wrong target (except perhaps...

i thought the Rappan Athuk series were good modules. And, of course, the World of Whitehorn (as per sig)

Glaciers cab be fun - crevasses, Balance Checks (or Reflex) to avoid falling down during combat, polar worms or frost worms (the ones that explode when they die!) - I ran an encounter w/ a Frost Giant Cleric mounted on one of these - it was a blast! Finding a few frozen corpses in a cave or in...

cool - i did not know that - thanks

Yes - this is an important point. However, as to whether Harm can score a critical hit...... I would rule no. It doesn't matter how hard you hit a creature, you just need to touch them. i believe they were variant rules in 2E for spells doing critical damage - not sure if there is a variant in 3.x.
