    A Favored Soul question (class)

    Thank you all, once again. I know I can come here, post a question, and receive intelligent replies. The whole concept of the Favored Soul is much more understandable to me now, thanks to you lovely people. Danke, danke!!!

    A Favored Soul question (class)

    Thank you for the input. Much appreciated. As others have been kind enough to explain, the FS seems more akin to a fighter/cleric hybrid. I simply have to get past this hang-up that, given the ability to cast divine spells and the affinity with a deity, imbues the PC with this aura of...

    Greatest Sentence of All Time?

    "O God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the market-place."

    A Favored Soul question (class)

    Ack again! Thank you both so much for your input. It seems I may have to simply roll up a real cleric and wait out playing a Favored Soul when the group has another healer that can be the primary healer.

    A Favored Soul question (class)

    Ack! That truly is a limiting factor for this new divine class then.

    A Favored Soul question (class)

    My DM and I have come across a rather interesting dilemma. I bring the topic here for more insight from others in hopes to come to a definitive answer. Just bought "The Complete Divine" and came across the Favored Soul class. As my DM wanted to start a small side campaign outside of our regular...

    What was the first monster you killed in D&D?

    IIRC, the temple was abandoned by the original inhabitants, who were disciples of Vecna. The disciples were sent out to find the cataclysmic scroll, in hopes of flooding the world with evil. The kobolds basically took over the abandoned temple for their own nasty purposes. As such, there were...

    What race is the Wizard in your group? (take II)

    Our group wizard is a gnome. Poor thing is the subject of many roleplaying jokes, since he is the smallest in stature, rides on his fox familiar a lot, and is constantly tinkering around with stink bombs.

    What was the first monster you killed in D&D?

    My first kill was a kobold, who was guarding the entrance to an abandoned temple.

    Where (In what) do you store your dice?

    At first, I sewed together a dice bag from some great material I bought. It was a light moleskin with a very rough stitch graphic, so I thought it looked perfect as my D&D dice bag (and matches the carry-all bag I made from the same material for dressing up as my character during GenCom). Now...

    I love Firefox!

    I love my Firefox browser. The extensions are great and I really like being able to open all tabs in a particular bookmarked folder quickly.

    GenCon Indy: Ladies of ENWorld Unite!

    Ohhh, I am so up for that! My family and I stay the entire 4 days of GenCom, plus the day prior to get settled in. As long as the scheduled time doesn't interfere with the live reading of KotD, then count me in!

    How "into it" do you get?

    We got props (gotta love those after-Halloween sales for weapons :) ), we got costumes. We go into physical detail, where appropriate, about acrobatic moves with certain attacks, mainly to show how feasible it would be to attempt them.

    Player so afraid PC will die that she's not having fun

    My current campaign (which started about 6 months ago) mainly consists of new/semi-new D&D players. The campaign started from day 1 with TPK jokes and DM hate conspiracies, even from the youngest player (who is 11 years old). For our group, the joking established a great rapport among the...

    Chicago Gameday X: the awesome aftermath

    No problem, pogre. I hope everything turns out ok for you and your family. Stirges, Ctulhu, or miniature painting, oh my! What a selection, since they all sound great as well. I will hopefully have an alternative set of choices in the next few days for the afternoon set, unless they fill up...

    New DM needs help getting new PCs together!

    In the current campaign I am in, our DM had us all (PC's) wake up in a communal jail cell with no memory of how we got there. None of the PC's knew each other and within the first hour, we all had to prove we didn't steal some mystical scroll.

    Who's still playing City of Heroes?

    Still playing. In fact, if it wasn't for an impromptu D&D session tomorrow, hubby and I would be closing in on level 32 on my scrapper/his controller. Priorities, priorities :D

    Best 1st LVL Feat?

    For my latest PC (sorceror), I took Eschew Materials as my level 1 feat. No need to lug around stinking components costing less than 1gp.
