Huh, I guess I should go read up on organized play. Cause I'm not really seeing why someone would complain about that in particular as if it is so much different than a DM just running the same adventure at home. It seems like anything that applies to organized playing would apply just the...

That's what I was afraid of. I'm no expert at monster building, but from what I've gathered, a lot of the creation process is just an estimate for determining CR. So in this case, I should just compare the racial traits to something else to get an idea for what an appropriate CR would be...

Thanks for clearing this up for me. All these years and I'm still learning. One thing that I thought about was; how do you determine the CR for a monster build that only shows racial traits but not a full monster stat block (no CR is listed). For example, making a Half-Ogre NPC using the racial...

I'm not that familiar with organized play. Can someone briefly tell me what is different between a "judge" in organized play and what a DM does in a home game?

That's clever. I didn't know Kinkos could do that, and for only $5? It makes it look like some sort of special edition book. Are the inside pages secure enough where they won't eventually tear out from being kind of old?

I think it's more about people trying to fit in and have a common bond over something. Then again, players probably are super annoying most of the time when they play kenders. I think Gnomes on the other hand get a bad wrap. I find them charming, unless they are depicted as a dorky garden...

Nobody told me there was going to be a 10 year reunion for this thread!

One thing that always throws me off when looking at published NPC stat blocks and my knowledge for creating my own is when a race with an LA+2 or higher has a CR that does not equal HD+LA. For example, NPC Drow have an LA+2 but you only add +1 to their CR rather than the LA+2. Sean Reynolds...

Ok, so don't laugh at me, but yes, this comes about 4 years too late. I realized we never included adventure books for this index and those should provide a huge amount of resources for this. I think we are also missing several books. I was hoping there might be people interested in completing...

Haha, that's just my tweaked version of the list that I got somewhere else. I didn't compile that one myself. :lol: Actually, I haven't looked at that file in so long. I forgot that I included a link to the EN World thread where I guess I got the NPC index from...

I have an NPC index of the 3.5 supplement books. I don't remember where I got it but maybe that's what you're thinking about? It didn't include NPCs from any adventure books.

Is there a WotC 3.5 NPC Index floating around on the web that consists of an NPC index for all of the published adventures? It would be nice to have a list showing the class, CR, and book reference for all of the NPCs that were written up in the 3.5 adventures. Then I can use those stats when I...

I pretty much would like to see: 1. No min/maxed PCs. 2. PC builds that are built around a character concept rather than wargaming rules. 3. PCs that take an active initiative to represent a member of a Planescape faction (I run a PS game).

Just a chainmail bikini that my wife bought. She said she bought it for me to enjoy, but honestly, it barely fits me.

I'd like rules on how to deal with a woman on board so she won't cause the crew to have bad luck. Can there be a feat for this or would she need to dip into a prestige class? What about a chart that lists various ways to punish a stowaway? An equipment list for pirate gear would be nice. I...

This inspired me to create a human female NPC who gave birth to some cublings. His charisma is high indeed.

People still have their own preference for what they do and don't want in a VTT map. I bet people would appreciate 2 versions: The most common version is probably one with the room numbers, text, & "S" symbols for secret areas removed. The other version (which I prefer) would include removing...

Honestly, I like the challenge. I would never whine about a caster being better than my fighter (or most likely, my rogue). I don't mean to come off like an elitist or anything, but really, the people doing the whining seem to be forgetting the "roleplaying" part in the term RPG. My most...

All of my money went towards buying books. I can't afford a shelf.

One thing that I never see any more in D&D books is a stat block that includes how many coins the NPC is carrying. I was wondering, is there any reference chart from an RPG book that lists how much money certain type of NPCs might be carrying around? Something to reference as a guideline. I'm...
