    D&D Still Satanic? "So my mom threw away all my D&D books..."

    D&D is not in and of itself satanic, but it certainly contains elements that could lead someone down that road. It has unfortunately led some people down that road, and that is what the ultra-conservatives focus on which is too bad. That view of D&D is so far from the norm and very narrow...

    Help with class ability giving Time Stop to Fighters at 1st level

    The only human I know that is that badass is Chuck Norris. It had to be said.

    Help with class ability giving Time Stop to Fighters at 1st level

    I would probably add a bonus to the concentration check for foes bigger than the fighter. I just have a hard time buying a dragon being afraid of a human fighter. I'd also maybe set it up so that increasingly bigger foes count as more people (ie Large 2, Huge 4 etc). I just have a hard time...

    Homebrew PRC: The Cloak Fighter

    I don't have anything to add to the design, but this is a very cool sounding class. I wonder if this is something a monk might look into. I feel like I've seen martial artists do this in movies. Keep up the good work.

    Can knowledge devotion be used against humanoids?

    Your interpretation of the rule is correct; however, in my games we have ruled that only humanoids that are actually in the local area where the character is from are eligible. The same goes with nature for us, too. That feat is so obnoxious!

    D&D 3E/3.5 Vote for your favorite core Class!!! (3.5)

    I chose sorcerer. I love sorcerers. I have tried so many times to make a hot sorceress. Sadly, the last one took 34 points of damage from a 6d6 fireball trap. /sigh

    Tumble problems

    Tumble is a great skill, and of all the rules to be strict about, this is not one that should be on that list. I hardly think a character or two avoiding attacks of opportunity is game breaking.

    Help a Factotum build a cliff-dwelling fortress

    And likely end up imprisoned at the center of the earth being attacked by some beastie 4 levels higher than you. Maybe the fortress would be imprisoned with you. Good times. Oh how I love the deck of many things.

    What Do You Do With A Problem Item?

    I voted leave the item but find a way to nullify it. It's hard to say exactly what to do without knowing exactly what the item is, but find a way to take the item out of play. Powerful items become known and various people will come to claim it for themselves. Demons and devils may even come...

    Castles are worthless against armies with mages?

    Whizbang makes a great point. You're absolutely right, Dandu, that a castle can easily be overcome by wizards, but in most kingdoms, barring those like Greyhawk, Waterdeep and Silverymoon, the "archmage" of the kingdom will likely be less than 10th level. That means that situations like this...

    Group Dynamics: Min/Max vs RPers

    Thanks for the advice guys. I generally only run published adventures as I have a full-time job, a wife and 2.5 kids, so I am at the mercy of whatever beasties are in the module. I think I will just need to make some time each week to alter the enemies a bit in an effort to challenge the group...

    Group Dynamics: Min/Max vs RPers

    I don't have online character sheets. Sorry. First of all, I know they are both playing whisper gnomes; which as I understand are a broken base race. One guy is playing a ranger 3/cloistered cleric of Fharlangan 1/scout 10. IMO, a cloistered cleric of Fharlangan is just ridiculous to start...

    Group Dynamics: Min/Max vs RPers

    No, they are not cheating. They take advantage of poorly written rules and often utilize what are, in my opinion, ridiculous class combinations. I know a lot of their characters come straight off char op boards. Just your basic power gaming and min/maxxing. I'd actually probably care a lot...

    Group Dynamics: Min/Max vs RPers

    Hey, guys. I have been running a group for a number of years now. My frustrations as a DM and some group dynamics are starting to wear on me, so I need some advice. I have 2 min/maxxers in the group and RPers who play DnD to be a hero and do cool stuff. The RPers optimize their characters but...

    What if everyone was a sorcerer (gestalt concept)?

    Dude, that sounds like a really fun idea. A couple of things I would suggest: 1. I would reduce the number of spells known by everyone so things did not get too out of hand. I would maybe also reduce the number of spells per day by some, too. 2. I would only use the spellcasting and skill...

    Would It Break The Game If...: Weapon Damage

    Bear in mind if you decide to go forward with this, it does seem like it would take some of the fun out of never getting max damage. IMO, there is nothing more awesome than my barbarian getting a critical with his greataxe for 1d12+10 damage x3 for 66 points of damage. Does it really slow...

    How strict with Hide checks?

    Hey, guys! I'm curious how strict you guys are with hide checks with regards to having appropriate cover to hide behind. Last night, one of my players made a move silently check to open a door into a room quietly and a hide check to hide and moved slowly into the room. The room was an empty...

    D&D: Daggerdale - Fighter preview

    It is a downloadable game. I think the price is $10. It's just a hack and slash a la gauntlet. It looks fun, but it sadly doesn't look like it will be too deep.

    What MM monsters DON'T you use?

    Ajax, how can you not use darkmantles?! They have got to be some of the greatest monsters ever. I ran the WLD and killed like 6 players with em. My players never walk into a cavern in a cave now without saying, "I make my spot check and I look up." It's awesome.
