Back on topic, since the previous post was not, I often inadvertantly give my players too much treasure. This is generally an over reaction brought on by PC whinning about not enough treasure. Of course, when I come back to reality the excess and troublesome baggage generally finds its way...

I just finished this module a few months back. I had to cut back on the giant #s early on and I ran the party at level 11 to start. Giants don't have difficulty hitting most ACs and do BIG damage. Once the party started finding the giant slaying weapons (modified to giant bane) I was able to up...

I am beginning to dislike my newfound love of UA, but the book does offer rules for converting to sponteous divine casters. Also, as I am overly fond of saying lately, try the generic spellcaster. Your party seems to enjoy limitesd class selections anyway.They get access to the cleric spells but...

Don't we all :(

I choose first person when I as a person actually understand what it is I am supposedly doing (I caast fireball/I swing my [insert weapon of choice here]) I choose third person when I as a person have absolutely no idea how I am supposed to be doing whatever is is that I am supposed to be...

All praise SurfMonkey demigod of ever turning plot twists and turns, He who brought devastation and mayhem to the Realms. Lord Bane is watching you :]

I think that you could axe the standard spellcasting classes from your campaign and utilize the generic Spellcaster from Unearthed Arcana. Yes, this class appears to have a lot of power at first glance, but that is misleading IMO. The generic class only knows the same # of spells as a sorcerer...

I'm pretty darn sure that you don't want to know the answer to that :) I think you may be Faerun's equivalent to Hitler after we all get through with your ideas. Of course, Bane and the Zents will be eternally grateful ;)

I currently play a fighter 3/wizard 1 who wears mw full plate, and I am the only spellcaster in my party. My fellow adventurers always joke about my armor choice as a spellcaster, but I actually have yet to fail to successfully cast (I am beginning to believe that my d% are blessed). My armor...

3 of the 5 people in my group also DM. I happen to dislike the "Golden Rule of DMing" (my say is absolute and final), so I make the players debate optional rules that I do not particularly care for among themselves. Most of my fellow gamers (just my particular group) tend to agree with my...

I knew it sounded wrong, but it was the only name I could think of. Oh well, I should have just stuck with "that senator who put everyone on trial for being communist".

I have to say 6-11. Most characters have not found their stride at low levels, and players are just as afraid of dying as I am of killing them by accident. Mid levels allow access to great spells and abilities. Mid level characters tend to have established their identities. Most of the cool...

The biggest thing I worry about are maps (I usually just steal them and must've used Hamlet at least 3000+ times) and plot lines. NPC stats are a dime a dozen if you look through any WOTC or 3rd party modules/supplemets. I have spent years and endless hours detailing my homebrew world...

My campaign revolves around a fight between the gods and demons. There is also a group of titans that remain above the whole battle thing. Any character that calls upon divine aid is considered sacred which equates to good for alignment effects. Any character that calls upon demonic aid or...

I actually remember when this anouncement first appeared. April 1, (2003?). It was posted on WOTC's site for only a brief time before moving to archives due to the negative reaction and the immedite uproar. The whole thing was supposed to be a joke, not an official anouncement. WOTC apparently...

Our current party does not include any PC clerics, druids, rangers, or paladins. The DM has been generous enough to place an NPC cleric with the party who always stays in town (total noncombatant) but creates potions for us to take on adventures. You could easily have the party cleric do...

I heard about Eric's sight from a friend right before the switch to EN World. I originally used the sight just for reviews and scheduled release dates, becouse I had never thought much of message boards. Once I returned to college, I was forced to use message boards for some classes, so I...

My gaming group is primarily the same group I have played with since 9th grade. Over the past 16 years we have grown apart in most of our interests and hobbies except gaming. The main reason I still game is to see these long term friends. Those few players that have left over the years have...

My problem with min-maxing characters lies in the fact that only one member of my group does this, and he does it too well. His characters tend to be so focused that they are capable of competing against encounters 4+ levels above him alone. Granted, such extreme specialization leaves huge...

Of course, the same can be said about players. Some players follow the assumption that their way is the only way, just like some DMs. Ultimately those who end up having the most fun are the ones who usually compromise with eachother and try to bring some aspect of every player into the game(and...
