    A Wizard's question on Grapple

    I second the use of Improved Invisibility. Keep a bunch of scrolls with Improved Invisibility handy. Its rather difficult to grapple what you can't see. Unless the DM is a cheese-monkey, most of your enemies won't be able to grapple you. If, all of a sudden, every encounter includes enemies with...

    What Happened to '[Insert 1E/2E Spell Name Here]'?

    Heh, I remeber having a wizard who made a business with that crystal ball spell. I should remake that for 3E...

    3rd Edition Rules, 2nd Edition Feel?

    One of my favorite aspects of 2E was the PHB. I could actually sit down and read it and be entertained. For instance, the initiative portion of the combat section is one of my favorite parts. I wish WotC did stuff like that. The only example of play we see is the one in the DMG, and in my...

    In Praise of Scenes of Artwork

    I'm a big fan of the old 2E artwork. One of my favorite pictures, besides the halfling with the side burns, is the picture in the 2E PHB with the old mage in a pottery shop or something holding up a staff adorned with a gem on top that's shooting lightning. That picture inspired me to play my...

    Clerical Magic

    One thing that has always attracted me to mages is the overall usefulness of their spells. Not only can you blast your eneimes to dust, but you are capable of flight, creating servants to clean for you, and so many other things. Then I think of cleric magic, and I cringe. I know clerics are good...

    A Bloody Little Tale

    Rune let's out a startled hiss as the children approach. "Beware!" he whispers to his companions. Seeing the strange sparkle in their eyes, his hand moves to his spell component pouch.

    A Bloody Little Tale

    Rune whispers back to Relon, "I honestly don't know. There are too many strange things happening."

    A Bloody Little Tale

    Rune turns to those of the party that don't understand, and translates. "The dragon says that the villagers did this to him. He stats that they shed their skins and attacked. He believes that they left him like this so that whatever infected them will spread through his system, and convert him...

    A Bloody Little Tale

    Rune nods nervously. "Yes, it would definately be prudent to stay together." He edges closer to Ulvan, clutching his staff.

    An interesting point, but not really what I was looking for.

    Wizard Names

    A friend of mine who plays in our D&D games has a habit of having unimaginative names; things like Kyle, Jacob, etc. Now, don't get me wrong, a players character is his own business. Recently, this friend of mine, let's call him the Bill, has decided to play a wizard. He decided that he wanted a...

    Spell Compendium - Spell Name Changes

    The changes of spell names is one of the main reasons I'm not going to watse money on the stupid book. The spell names have a unique flavor; Melf, Mordenkainen, etc, are the pioneers of the magical world. Having the names stripped and converted to these generic titles just reminds me of how...

    A Bloody Little Tale

    Rune spreads in his hands as he answers Diego. "It is possible. This area could be cloaked with a 'Hallucinatory Terrain,' or the more potent 'Mirage Arcana' dweomer. If this is the case, I am afraid that it is far beyond my capabilities to dispel."

    A Bloody Little Tale

    Rune frowns. " There is magic all around us. The very air is thick with it. The woods give a faint aura, as do the body, the fire, and the scimitar... something is very wrong here." As he finishes, Rune places a hand near his spell component pouch, ready to pull the materials of magic if need be.

    Constantine-type character

    All I have to go on is the movie; I haven't had the fortune of seeing the actual Constantine. But regardless, I liked the movie. What is the Archivist class?

    A Bloody Little Tale

    "We should make haste. Whoever or whatever did this may still be in the area." Rune moves to study the room, looking for anything of a magical nature. OCC: Rune will cast detect magic and scan the room, as well as the immediate area. Also, I don't know how to make spoiler tags. Could someone...

    Constantine-type character

    My group is getting ready to start the Age of Worms adventure path, set in Eberron. I thought that it would be really cool to make a Constantine-type character; it seems to fit the noir-pulp feel of eberron. Does anyone have any thoughts/ideas on how to make such a character? The game starts...
