I like crafts. I live to make things, so it only seems right that my characters do. Lately, since I am really the only DM in the area, I have also tried to make characters I can play with while DMing. The downside being I tend to be very nice to the players(palleomortis) when he and my...

Yes Palleo and I know one another by the way. We go to the same High School. It leads to some interesting conversation KP

I agree entirely with almost all that is said. In retrospect I realize that I am putting the players at too much risk. While this does work, the players never seem to realize that the better way to fight a group of foes is to talk your way out of the situation. While that doesn't work with...

Why is it that there is always some hero in a group that believes he should stay behind and fight of the pack of winter wolves, town guards, or other group of monsters out to kill them. Doesn't this person realize that the only end is inevitable death. Can't he just run like everyone else. I...

Why wouldn't there be....... Social divisions I think play one of the biggest roles. I have never spent much time with girls, and as such am not predisposed to invite them to gaming. The pyscological part of it does not have very much to do with it in my opinion. When I was younger, not...

Why is it that there are more guys than girls that play D&D? It seems to me that I can never get any players that are female, and whenever I need a female part played, it's mutilated by the players in game. This causes problems for me because I don't know how to play these female roles either...

If lead and most metals reduce magical properties, shouldn't it be that the heavier it is, and the more it can block radiation and such things, the more it can block magic. I don't know. And what about diamonds. The hardest thing on earth, comparitivly. How do we measure, or do we measure...

Thanks for all the info. I just think I need a more helpful system. I know I may have to create one but that is okay. Dicechild.

Why not?

See "a new type of magic" for other things new to my playing.

I like the ideas for rules. I think you're right about the nonlethal damage. I have changed that. Also about the healing. I'm not allowing healing words to heal non-lethal damage, and the power words can kill them with non-lethal damage if they go below -10 also. In addition, if you just...

I don't know, that might be a bit much. And it would be forbidden by our web providers probably. I like the idea of pregenerated areas, campaigns, characters, creatures, and such. I would work on that Polly. OK.

Why don't damage points affect the character more. Such as if a level 3 fighter hits a level 3 fighter for 5 points of damage, can you visualize it. Five points of damage might hit an arm or some such portion of the body. Should a person be allowed to use that arm? I don't think so. I think...

If anyone has any other comments please post them.

I agree with the gianlt lizard thing. It will work very well. I have thought about what you guys said. I don't have Sandstorm but I may be able to pick it up. I also thought about making quiksand no different looking than regular sand so people do sink and drown. Any other ideas are...

Thank you for the info. I need all of the help I can get. That sounds exactly like what I need, I'll just have to work it into my campaign. Have you ever done a campaign similar to this. What sort of rules should I use? Desert fighting is not different but is there special qualities that I...

I like it Sounds good. Are you starting with new pcs or old experienced ones. I commonly have to write all of that down. Have you figured out general geograpy and climate. You could make the goblin uprisings coincide with a certain astronomical period, and make it inevitable that they will...

My new campaign to put my players through takes place in a desert. I know the general rules for the desert, and can make things up as I go. I have some thoughts on changing mount styles; instead of horses use lizards that can adapt to the environment, and a battle lizard could use its claws...

I think it may be better to have a shapeshifter race. The skills based on hd and everything else would have to come from the class the player choses. The idea of a class that only deals with shapeshifting is not very appealing to me. I could help with a creature/ player race that you could...

All the ideas are great. I already have some limiting factors. There are no limits to spells per day, so anyone can cast any amount of spells. I agree with you about the healing, haven't quite figured it out yet. Most of the spells are only limited by my descretion. I can also twist what...
