    Another Creature Catalog query for Dragon?

    Hey - they stole my idea! Uhm... proactively... using a time machine... yeah, that's it! I just came up with a "Watery Ooze" in this thread a few months ago. :D

    Baba Yaga d20 conversion?

    Any reason to assume she is not human? IIRC, she's just a stereotypical evil witch/sorceress... Does she have any obvious non-human features in the original folk tales?

    Awakened template (PEACH)

    For completeness, a link back to my earlier Awakened Animal Thread as well, where I also took the template approach. I think my version is a little more detailed, since it spells out some of the unexpected consequences of the Awaken spell, such as the fact that you gain Darkvision 60', the fact...

    How do you pronounce "dweomer"?

    Nice find! Very interesting... Oh, and I pronounce it like the Supertramp song: Dweomer, you know you are a dweomer Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no! I said dweomer...

    Wolfgang Baur Re: Copper Bits and Gleaming Hoards

    So if it weren't for the rewards, people wouldn't be playing D&D - unlike other games that don't seem to need those rewards? :p Just kidding. ;)

    Wolfgang Baur Re: Copper Bits and Gleaming Hoards

    So here's a conundrum: If loot and XP are so important, then why do people enjoy (non-RPGA) Con games?

    Wolfgang Baur Re: Copper Bits and Gleaming Hoards

    I know. Doesn't mean I have to *like* it. Nor does it mean that that is what makes a good game. Or for that matter, that those are the only reasons why most people play the game, as Wolfgang implies.

    Victory *and* death: Would you enjoy this?

    I think, 10 or even 5 years ago I wouldn't have enjoyed such an outcome. Not that I would have *hated* it, mind you, but I would definitely have preferred a happier ending for my character. Since then, I've seen enough of my favorite characters being retired - dead or alive - that I've come to...

    Wolfgang Baur Re: Copper Bits and Gleaming Hoards

    I would seriously hope not! And even if it were, I would never want to design a roleplaying system to further encourage this thrend. Perhaps I'm biased by having spent the first 3+ of my formative RPG years playing GURPS and various other non-D&D games in a very active gaming community where...

    Can a game be "Compatible with the Wizards of the Coast SRD?"

    Waitaminite... As far as i know, it *is* permissible to use someone else's trademark to indicate compatibility, right? <does some digging> Ah, here we go : This is from the International Trademark Association's FAQ on Information & Publishing Sounds like "Compatible with the Wizards of the...

    Help building a rapier-wielding NPC

    Hmmm... two rapiers... have you considered making him a Nimblewright? They're intelligent constructs for MM2 who disguise themselves as humanoids and wield two rapiers. They're only CR 7, so you can add a decent amount of class levels. Sure, this may be quite far outside your original concept...

    Could you post a link after all? I couldn't find it through Google - maybe you misspelled the title?

    Need help creatinng cheap golems

    I was just about to say the same. Of course, you'll also need to cast Permanency if you want them to stick around for more than a few rounds. At 14th level (minimum CL for Permanacy: Animate Objects), you get one Huge, one Large and one Medium animated object (about CR 6 in total), for the...

    Would you use or allow average damage to speed up gameplay?

    For what it's worth, I didn't vote in the poll either, simply because I didn't identify with any of the statements to choose from. No big deal, mind you - this is hardly something I could imagine anyone getting "annoyed" with. You'll just fewer votes on your poll, and more people that feel they...

    Make-your-own-dragonbone?

    For extra credit, take one die of each type, in transparent plastic of different colors, saw each die in half and glue them on top of push buttons to select the die size. With some care you can make them look like jewels on the hilt of your toy sword. (Make sure the highest number shows on each...
