    A rant on ASF

    I hate to quote myself, but I thought of something else, not only are you making it a switch for one roll to another, if a mage takes the ligh tarmor prof and uses leather(5% ASF) then by changing it to something akin to a concetration check with a DC higher than one your raising the chance of...

    A rant on ASF

    If you change ASF to a concentration check, aren't you still giving a chance that you cant cast a spell in armor, so isn't it the same thing?? Also, there are some very nifty magic items that give Mages AC bonuses like the robe of the arch-magi. and bracers of armor. wich is usable by any...

    Official Nostalgia Thread (thread necromancy)

    78. Each character class had it's own XP table. 79. First edition barbarians WOOHOO!!! By the time you reach second everyone else in the party was at least 3rd, and the thief(not rouge) was 5th or 6th and XP for BREAKING magic items 80. Weapon specialization and double weapon...

    Alphabet Soup

    I'm new to the boards, I understand some of the abbreviations(sp?), but not others, is there a list somewhere that I can use to understand them better. For instance I know BAB is base attack bonus, but what is LA??? Level Adjustment??

    How terrible is the multiclass XP penalty?

    Maybe his compainions could't afford a resurect. I know as a DM, I allow little talking from dead characters(read the player whose character is dead), at least about decicions in the game. If the other PC's decided it for him, then it's not his risk, it was theirs. and, as has already been...

    Alchohol During A D&D Game?

    for the group... I play with now, we occasinally have a couple. Never hurt the game. The group I had before, one of the players showed up every session with a case, and drank most of it himself. after a couple of sessions I put the kibash on alchohol at games then. lest my game run away from me.

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Druids - what to do about them?

    That may be true, the guy running the fighter/ROUGE(I'm old school what do you want), was a pretty lousy player when it came to min/maxing, but my gods can he roleplay:D

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Druids - what to do about them?

    In my group, we decided that a single class of anything is better than any multiclass, because if you have 4 people in a party, and all of them are 8th level, and one is a 4/4 fighter/thief, and the others are all single class, the EL's for the party level outstrip the fighter/thiefs...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Druids - what to do about them?

    Isn't that sorta the point of the bard "jack-of-all-trade" kinda thing??

    Burning Wheel

    we tried it my group( I was a player). I liked it, but I think it's more a (and don't take offense at this) "role-playing" game more than a "roll-playing" game. the story line is the important thing for BW. Healing takes a hell of a long time without magic, but that was kinda the point I...

    Whose "property" are the PCs?

    Really?? I'm a player/GM, so does that mean my oppinion counts more?? I have used, and have had PC's used, in later campagins. It brings continuity to the world, and makes it more believeable IMHO. I had a halfling thief(who was a mean ornary SOB) turn up later in the campagin, very old...

    Elves - Love em or Hate em?

    I am.. ..indifferent to elves, and dwarves. When I play it's usually halfling or human. I just dont get the arguing that this race is more powerful than that race "mecanically". It's all hogwash if you ask me, after all a good GM will exploit the weaknesses in everyrace/class combo. In 3.5...

    The times, are they a-changin?

    Well, I am currently reading the DMG2, and they give some very good ideas there to actually get people to role-play. although there are some added "rules", they still give the topic of role-playing a very large part of the book. and they say that you need to look at the makeup of the group, in...

    Are Potions Labelled in Your Game?

    we do it... The way I do potions, most of them are not labled. But sometimes they are, and I have had evil NPC's "mislable" the potions. One in particular had the healing potions labled "Caution, deadly poison" in common, and "Healing potions" on the poison. "Flying" on a potion of bull...

    The times, are they a-changin?

    min-max/munchkin/ruleslayers I think the muchkin thing isn't necissarily(sp??), any better/worse than it was before. I find where the problems start are when a munchkin/min-maxer plays in a group that "role-plays" or visa-versa. I've played in games where everyone was a "role-plyer", and they...
