    Air Elemental and Implosion

    Does implosion work on an air elemental? The reason I ask is b/c in the description of air elemental it is described as basically whirling air. Implosion says it doesn't work on creatures in gaseous form. does it work? DC

    Hurricane Katrina fundraiser: 100% of all profits going to victims

    I know the previous companies mentioned have been gaming companies but I figured I'd mention that the electronics retailer Best Buy is accepting donations at their stores. They've already donated $1 million, and they're matching any donations collected up to another $1 million. I figured I'd...

    Your Gas Price

    When I left for work this morning (6am PST) it was at $2.74 for the cheap stuff and when I drove home (3PM PST) it had already jumped to $2.95. I filled up my tank just in case it does decide to go bonkers tomorrow and jump to $4.00 like they're saying it will. Boy am I glad I don't own an SUV...

    Looking for a DVD Player

    Well.. I'm not too familiar with the region free portion but I have a bit of info on the rest. So long as you purchase a DVD player by a known brand (sony, magnavox, etc.) your are going to get a good product. It seems anymore that DVD players are finally at the point where if you get a...

    Divine Haste?

    That epic feat was also based off of the 3.0 haste, so I'm not-so-sure it's a good basis from which to judge this one. DC

    Divine Haste?

    Hey all, I was just wondering if a feat that used a turn attempt and gave 1 round of haste (immediate/swift action) would be overpowered? Prereqs: combat expertise, bab +6. Basically, I'm creating a dex based paladin and was trying to create an alternative to divine might which he can't use...

    Overstock.com is offering $1 shipping

    I was recently going to order a PHB from them (like less than $20 on their site), but I decided to go with wal-mart... never ordered from them but the lady on their commercials creeps me out. Are they a pretty good website to order from? DC

    Game stopping events... (funny)

    In a recent campaign we were playing in medievel Europe. The DM had forgotten a map of Berlin that he needed for the session. As he is searching, he asks, "Berlin is bisected by a river, right?" one of the players without missing a beat replied, "No... that was a wall..." Very funny.. went...

    Ever have one of those 'What is he smoking' moments?

    Wow... that sort of reminds me of an old DM of mine. The game did not go well :)' DC

    Psionics and magic

    My only comment to add about psionics is that you need to decide how magic and psionics interact with one another. A lot of DMs like to use the variant that if you're using one to counter/detect the other it's at a -2. But if you do that you need to actually put psionic monsters in to help...

    MVP system

    This seems like it could cause some interparty conflict in itself. Personally I've never used anything like this. One of my DMs though did use a brownie point system. Basically you got brownie points for doing cool stuff IC and OOC. DC

    Have you been disillusioned by Eberron?

    I enjoy Eberron and I think I will continue to do so. The books they've released have been top quality and it's overall a fun setting in my opinion. DC

    Hiding fom Magic Missle

    The PC can only hide from the BBEG if the BBEG can't see him. So if there is no where to hide then he can be targetted just fine. DC

    Advice on getting back in, and other matters...

    Well... I would say probably just find gamers elsewhere. One thing you could suggest though is ask her if you can run a session with them, with her supervising, and see if the girls have fun. You never know, you might get your fiance hooked! DC

    SumBiatch Crooks!

    I concur. I work at an electronics retailer where we do credit in store. People come in all the time with bogus IDs and someone elses SSN to get credit. You should put a fraud alert on you and your wife's credit ASAP, and by ASAP I mean like.. stop reading and go do... now... GO! =) Also.. did...
