    Grumble grumble...

    Hmm, you'd think he would have grown out of that habit by now. Maybe this is his way of trying to get out of DMing when it's his turn. :p Those are all rookie mistakes. Except for the box text. I actually find using box text adds to the game. Of course, it probably depends on the DM reading it...

    Hey, leave Boxed Text out of it! It's innocent. :p Is this an experienced DM? Was he running a published adventure?

    Non-North American Gamers who want to buy the 1e reprints, sound off!

    I listed a few on my site for pre-ordering: RPG Locker, cheap miniatures & gaming accessories. Shipping books internationally is very expensive though. It is possible that I would pay a few bucks out of my pocket to ship, but that's ok. And if shipping costs me much less, I don't mind refunding...

    Your favorite house rules

    1. I allow characters to die at minus their Con score. So if they have a 16 Con, they die at -16 instead of -10. 2. If you roll a natural 20 for the threat and another natural 20 for the confirmation, you deal the maximum damage from all your dice. No need to roll, just add up the max damage.

    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D 3.5 - Potion drinking question

    Ah, I never thought about that before. So how much is a "shot" around your area if you don't go by ounces? I'm just curious now, but what was the situation with the cat drinking a potion in your game? And what was the potion? :lol: Or was this just hypothetical table talk? If you want the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D 3.5 - Potion drinking question

    Potions are 1 use items. Not 2, but 1 use. That is the easiest way to keep up with how you can use a potion. You would be unnecessarily complicating things by nit picking any details about something as minor as drinking a potion. Size of the creature doesn't matter. A colossal creature doesn't...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3e Wotc NPC Index (revived)

    That's perfect! Thanks. Once we finish this, I'll add everything the the Excel file and post the final version up. I'm going through my Dragon Magazines now and I should be done with those in a few days. If anyone wants to add NPCs from the 3.5 issues of Dungeon Magazines, that would be helpful.

    D&D 3E/3.5 3e Wotc NPC Index (revived)

    The index is for full stat block NPC writeups. The idea is that we can reference these statblocks whenever we need an NPC and don't want to create it from scratch. So we want full statblocks. Also, we don't need to index any monsters unless it is a monster that has been given class levels and...

    Index of Sample NPCs (Please Help)

    I've been working on completing this index. Unfortunately I have not had a single person offer any help. :( I didn't want to keep bumping this thread with my updates since it is technically a 3e thread. But in case someone stumbles on this thread and wants a complete index, the rest of the...

    RPG Deck soundtracks

    Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough years ago to save the file information for the MP3s I was collecting as background music. I didn't think to keep that info until my players kept asking me, "what song is this". Since I renamed everything according to my D&D game, I didn't have that...

    DM problems

    Technically, adding a single feat probably wouldn't bump up the CR. Adding a few feats probably would. But put it this way, if the DM doesn't use one or more feats that a monster from the Monster Manual has, does that mean it should have a lower CR? A DM won't use a lot of an NPCs feats and...

    DM problems

    I gotta spread the XP around. I mean I've spread it enough, how much do I have to spread it? I'm late to work all the time because of doors randomly jamming on me. And just last week, I was supposed to put some stuff in the attic for my wife and the ladder suddenly fell apart as I started to...

    DM problems

    But Vincent Vega wasn't riding around with Sub-Zero and Green Arrow. He'd totally be out of place if he were. :p

    DM problems

    Again, I can't stress this enough; don't try to determine what CR, stats, or anything an NPC might have. It will drive you bonkers and it can be extremely annoying to a DM when a player makes assumptions like this. It honestly shouldn't be any of your business what feats his NPCs have or how...

    DM problems

    A bit of advice (and others may disagree with me), but I suggest that you not worry about what the DM is doing behind the scenes. Especially when it comes to how his monsters and NPCs work. Not every DM is going to run NPCs by the book. A lot of DMs will make up stats as they go and never have...

    Lousy Poker Face?

    I've perfected the "always grinning face" which works perfectly. It works so good that the players even screw themselves when they make a decision based on my smirk. Whenever they are discussing a situation among themselves, just smile. And always roll dice. I make it a habit to roll dice as...
