    Drow: like cow or crow?

    This IS wrong. Géas is gaelic and pronounced GEE-sah. /Feliath, Useless Nitpick Extraordinaire

    One Thousand Ways to Freak Out Your Players

    Ooh! Ooh! Some omre! Here we go, brand new ones exclusively for this thread. 30) Begin passing one player notes with writing along the lines of "*PC*'s food is poisoned" or "That man is out to kill you all". Let the first two or three be true, but allow for this to be possible as coincidences...

    One Thousand Ways to Freak Out Your Players

    I'd like to point out that there are two #10:s. Therefore I number this: 27) Intentionally make a letter handout which seems like nonsense but which contains a perversely hard and well hidden riddle. Make it in such a way that it's obvious something is up with the thing. Intimate to the players...

    A New Race: The Dragontouched

    Whoo! I've got to tell you, this thing is fabulous. Rarely have I ever seen a non-core race so well made! (Seriously. I mean it.) It seems spot-on! *more praise* One thing: ONE. I don't think there necessarily needs to be different rules for other races. Just make the draconic tendencies...

    Ousting deities...

    Question What? I should think that with that reasoning you'd end up with WIS: Inner Strength=Force of Will, ergo: WIS as attribute. I feel Charisma reflects outward force of personality rather than inner strength... /Feliath - curious

    Scandinavian Roleplayers!

    Sandviken Gävle, yeah. Sure. Gävle is nice. I like Gävle. But Sandviken is a festering sore, a pit of hell most of whose denizens were scraped off of the most disgusting part of the Primordial Ooze. With an unclean spatula. Fittja ain't got nothin' on this. I'm sure Henrix, having been one...

    Scandinavian Roleplayers!

    Ooh! Ooh! Me! I'm from Sweden! I live in Gävle - or thereabouts, anyway; an obtuse crater of worms known as Sandviken. I just thought I'd add some figures. While it has dropped drastically since then, during the roleplaying boom in the mid-80's, one in four households had a roleplayer. Which...

    What house rules do you use?

    1) No alignment. It makes personalities go flat, at least in all the groups I've been in. 2) Sorcerers are INT-based spellcasters. I effected this change immediately after having read the 3E PHB. It's very high on my (extremely short) "Things Done Wrong" list, right after #1, above. 3) Major...

    How do you pronounce "fhtagn" and what does it mean?

    Enunciate clearly I believe the word is spelled "fthagn", i know it means "dreaming" or "is dreaming", and I believe it's pronounced starting with a sharp F, followed by a sharp th (as in three, but much more powerful), then "ANG". fff-TH-ANG, sort of... :( The elf, he is bad at explaining...

    [ot] anime suggestions for those who dislike anime

    I'll put up a vote for the Castle of Cagliostro . That movie is one of the most hilarious I've ever seen, and it goes pretty light on some of the style conventions (i.e. big eyes). It has it all! Little pink cars momentarily defying gravity, for instance! If I recall correctly, there are two...

    The Forester class (and 15 related feats)

    Useless fact: I, also knowing that which you mention, actually played around with the idea that elves' legs weren't attached to their spines in my homebrew. Then I realized the disastrous effects this would have on biped anatomy and dropped it. :D Feliath - why'd I even bother mentioning this?

    why I play evil characters

    Another take on evil characters First off, I did away with alignment in my campaign first thing I did; it's the only thing in core D&D that really annoys me, since the new edition. Keep this in mind below. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention another type of evil, which I realize is likely a...

    The Forester class (and 15 related feats)

    Not that my opinion carries much weight around here - I'm generally content to lurk, which I've been doing quite some time - but this class, I think, is great. I see no real balance issues with it, and it has a distinct feel, far moreso than the PHB ranger. The thing I have the biggest problem...

    Should the DM foster Party Conflict?

    Strange... How's this? How is inter-character conflict in any way a problem? As long as it somehow (man, I sound like an overpretentious literature critic) promotes the story*, what's the problem? Why does the party always have to like one another and have everything be hunkydory? :confused...

    Older Members of the Board help me !

    Keenification (?) and so forth Yep, it's in the DMG errata. Actually, if you have a 1st printing PHB, it's correct in the survival kit part in back, as well...

    Do you let players buy Magic items?

    Do I allow Magic Item purchase? Oh dear sweet Sum of the Universe, NO! Never! In a fantasy campaign (that, to me, excludes such quirkies as Planescape) I wouldn't even consider it. They have to buy their magic with blood. ;) Or XP, via Item Creation feats. But then, XP is also purchased with...

    Seriously, what's so great about a class-less system?

    ??? Something I immediately react to while reading this thread: Why does everyone equate a Class-based system with a Level-based one? :confused: Class-based systems are really quite predominant, in some shape or other. Level-based systems are less common, it seems to me - and half the debate...
