Oh, and I'm definately keeping the City of Brass on Fernia - a city that goes on and on for hundreds of miles (but not where the Magma Dragons have their lairs). And Superman definately has his Fortress of Solitude on Risia :p Mac Callum

At one time Elysium & Arcadia were arbitrary names too. People got used to them. Now they're "standard" and the new names are arbitrary. Hmmm ... there may be a mental process at work here ... I like the orbital nature of the Planes. For those who want to do Calendar by DM fiat, that's...

That's the strangest thing I've ever heard. Man, they must have quite a devoted network of allies by now... But to answer your question, No. I have had a group give a potion in a time of need, but nothing like a Ring of Protection +5

Gaming: Fridays Where: Downtown NYC, USA (Hi Nifft!) Setting: Grand Duchy of Karameikos Players: 1 NPCs: 2-3, they come & go Characters: NG H-Elf Gestalt Rgr/Wiz2 Frequency: weekly I'm running a solo for my wife. She just started, and this is our third session with this campaign. I found...

Whatever works for you man. It certainly isn't fair that, ceteris paribus, only one person is buying all the books. Or maybe a simpler rule - if your PCs want a feat, PrC, race for their characters, they buy the book it's in. That way they get something every time they play the character, not...

Where is the extra stuff from Keith Baker? Is it in Dragon only? I have only seen the 2-3 things the WotC page has, and it's not impressive (not to mention their formatting - is a 12 year old in charge of that?). Mac Callum

The purpose of D&D is to have fun, but the purpose of the XP/CR/THAC0 rules is to provide structure, and to manage expectations. D&D is like any other game. Take baseball. We play baseball because it's fun, but that doesn't mean we play without rules. Otherwise it would easier to get home by...

From the SRD quote I would say only the base speed is unaffected by armor & encumbrance. Lots of torque, not much speed. Mac Callum

Just started a new solo-campaign last night that went well. Player is a H-Elf Ranger. She starts on the borders of the town of Verge with her Ranger-Mentor (he's on the Border Watch). She only had a couple minutes to talk to him about the area (He phrased his answer as if he were teaching...

Indeed. What sense of accomplishment is there when there was no danger to begin with? Even in a game, it matters. Mac Callum

I don't change the rules. There are so many templates, spell effects and PrC's that I don't need to. There's always something I can use to do what I want to do. That being said, Templates, spell effects and PrC's are not flavor - they're rules. To add flavor you use things that have little/...

Remathilis - I just meant that the Iconics present one version of the Fighter, Monk, etc. while the lack of Iconics earlier provided you with more examples. I also got more inspiration from them, because they weren't just another portrait of Lidda. Urbannen - Excellent point. D&D today does...

I think what Monte Cook has coined "the implied setting" of D&D has become more dilute. The D&D-isms (like racial level limits) had to change from setting to setting, so that Dark Sun elves and dwarves were very different creatures than the ones of Ravenloft, Krynn or the Players Handbook...

You're right, there's no Proficiency related to them - but I don't see how that's relevant. Druids do have the Armor Feats to wear metal armors after all; it's the oath that stops them. And Druids & Monks do not wear armor for entirely different reasons. They aren't useful for comparison. It...

Sure, once or twice. Give me a break, I was in highschool. The only "really bad" PC killing though was once in conspiracy with one of my players. All the other players had really gotten on our nerves (don't ask me how - I don't really remember now. Something to do with being cocky...

That's a rather overly-technical, cavalier attitude to take with a sacred Oath. They are Bracers of Armor after all. Here's a quick test: Imagine explaining that one to your Druid mentor. Think he's buy it? I wouldn't. Mac Callum PS - IMC Druids can wear torcs, bracers & belts if they...
