    Not Reading Ryan Dancy

    I wouldn't mind a new D&D version every 4 years if all the new edition stuff would actually be released together. Waiting 3 years for Complete Scoundrel makes me sooo not appreciate 3.75 if I'd had to abandon it after only 1 year playing with it. Unless Skill Tricks are a portent of what's to...

    Rules in 3.5 that need fixing and what you'd do to fix it.

    I really like it. And there are already feats that allow you to Quicken SU abilities, it should be trivial to expand this to all abilites, but I never thought of it.

    TWF Question

    There is another bonus for Two-Bladed weapons: enchanting. You only need to enchant it once with +1, holy, flaming, shocking, frosty, acidic. :lol:

    Races that have too much LA...

    Man this LA/CR/ECL mess is...messy. Is there something like a unified level theory? It would be sooo much more elegant if you could just level Templates and Races like Classes.

    So what is your favorite module, ever?

    Gates of Firestorm Peak (in a Birthright Campaign). Marvelous pacing, insane BBEG(s) and the first glimpse of the Far Realm IIRC. I still get the odd "You know back then? What was that ringing noise during those random realm events?". Also the various "Planar Transportation Methods" found at...

    Reasons for taking +2 to skills Feats?

    I like to give these out as rewards for good backgrounds. But I also like the houserule. Hmm.

    You never improvise?

    AC 56 at level 6! You too can do it!

    AC 56 combined with a -1 meeelion to hit doesn't concern me. What's the highest sum of AC and to hit a level 6 Character can have, both values must be positive? Also: Hypersmurf for president. Seriously.

    Warlocks...how do they play?

    Warlocks dualclass really well with rogue (Sneak Atttacks with Eldritch Blast means you don't lose that much ranged power), and they are fantastic for monsters with Classlevels (Succubus with Beguiling Charm and Dark Owns Luck :love: ).

    Oblivion for PC. How is it?

    Getting a complete set of heavy +Speed gear with maxed heavy Armor skill (combined with high/maxed Athletics and Acrobatics) turns you into a mech with jump jets. I <3 Oblivion alone for this. I h8 it for the lame Camouflage cheese. Why put that even in there if it is so unballanced? Thank god...

    Return to the Tomb of Horrors - your experiences?

    It's great to just build a party for this one module. You can go crazy and still TPK them without breaking a sweat. Also the (then) new monsters were a great addition to my campaign.

    Shamus does AoO

    Love the comic. Maybe the dm of the rings players are more casual than you guys? The writer for sure is.

    Neverwinter Nights 2!!!

    This might be a bit late, but you can combine essences to create more powerfull essences. You can even degrade them! Also nice: finding named items and improving them. You can change their name then, too! Nobody talked about the ending, so I will just say this: you wont get a movie (like the...

    LotR d20 - Parody

    Nice one! And (mostly) on the same update schedule as OOTS, too! Yay!

    The Ruins of Undermountain - your experiences?

    A second for Dungeon Dressing, I still use those cards.

    Magically Equipped vs. Unequipped - What is the Level Difference?

    I always did it the other (and I now think wrong) way around. I decreased or increased the Encounter Level. I used to compare the "worth" of their items to the worth an NPC would have, and adjust the amount of XP they'd get. I.e. the PCs have way too many magic items = lower the EL. I think...

    Is it acceptable for a DM to use disjunction on the PCs

    Since MD is the first spell I'd take as a PC sorcerer I of course allow it as a DM. This of course is true vice versa, too. :D
