My problem with just applying open lock to the situation is that the skill description states quite clearly that it is a mastery of just openingvarious kinds of lock. Sawing through a bolt seems a little detached. I'm not trying to make my players make noisy entrances through bolted doors. I...

The domain grants it despite the Cleric's lack of prereqs. There isn't an issue here, the Cleric gains Weapon Focus and the associated bonus I can see how this could appear confusing though as I'm not sure it is explicitly stated

Several times during the course of my DMing I've included doors which were bolted from the inside, and in each case my players have usually fallen in to a well of despair at the sight of them and set about forcing their way through the portal. I use interior bolts on doors where it makes...

Meenlocks. I can concieve of no use of them that wouldn't involve the players sighing

D&D is designed to be black&white, which is a shame as it is difficult and/or boring to play a game with no middle grounds

This joke just doesn't work as well converted in to a D&D setting

Well I'll just talk about one of my games. The newest one as I'm quite sure that none of my players from there read this forum The premise of the game is that after you die your soul lives on. Spirits linger until the Red Moon comes, the Red Moon appears when the Netherworld opens to the dead...

It seems to me that the best type of gaming is that which revolves around the players, and yet it seems the rarest. Published modules don't take this in to account for the most part (usually just giving a little "perhaps a player recieves a message from his uncle about blah blah" in one of the...

The 3.0 approach to level adjustment was far superior to the feeble attempts set out by SS Quite simply +1 HD doesn't equal +1level The monsterous progressions really screw things up too With a good DM, you can play non-standard races without sacrificing power

We always dump encumberance. I assume everybody does this and the rules are provided solely for video game translations. If it ever becomes an issue we just use common sense coupled with superhuman abilities. Not given any problems to us or anybody yet

I don't try and force everything, or even most things. But D&D attempts to be elemental when it clearly isn't suited just for the sake of completeness Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil is a good example of where it tries and falls apart. Earth doesn't have an energy type and so it's...

You seem to have misunderstood, D&D is inherently Elemental in it's makeup and yet it manages to deal with the elements themselves in such a half-arsed way The standard D&D cosmology sets up a simple system of elements Fire, Water, Air, and Earth The monsters and spells however do not fit this...

Much like the piss poor element system in D&D I'd scrap all of the type/subtype system for creatures and just go back to the drawing board Too many of the types seem completely arbitary and secondary to any kind of rule mechanic

Play ADOM(http://www.adom.de/), its like what nethack would be like if it was twice as good ;) I cannot wait for the "sequel" Jade, although I just tend to love most roguelikes

There is no real issue doing like the GW games 1 square = 5ft = 1 inch Bang Problem solved

Dimension door only works on willing targets though...

Nope They won't be until they include the rules in one of the three core books either

I really hated the 3e DR rules. I don't care how magic your sword is, you need silver to do proper damage to a werewolf 3.5 is a much better idea, still not perfect though. Although I can understand why they didn't want to make certain monsters immune to all damage per special materials

As impressed as I was by Eberron I'd love to read some of the other high ranking settings. A complete list would seem a bad idea, we get enough crappy settings flooding the internet, I'd prefer just to see the cream
