Oooooh, I soooo very badly want to say that a LG female is an oxymoron, but my wife would kill me, so I won't say it :)

I believe it will be worth it for me. I'm more than willing to pay $15 per month so that I can carry a laptop to the location where we play, rather than carrying a book bag with 20 books in it, and a separate carrying case for 100+ minis. The older I get, the less I want to lug around all...

Good point. I created a spell that essentially does this to skeletons and had a necromancer use it on a few skellies. Gave the party fits. But, we're dealing with a magical world here. Magic has funny rules. It's not a big stretch to say that the magical power that animates the unliving bones...

I'm not sure I understand what you want. The 3.x fighter is not a generic adventurer. He's a generic combatant. He fights well but doesn't do anything else well. I would define "adventurer" as someone who has the abilities to meet many, preferably most, challenges of an adventure. An...

Now here's an idea I can get fully behind. If PCs had few magic items instead of lots of them, and if those magic items grow in power with the PC, and if it did not cost the PC his wealth to do it, now that would be a great system. Find that rare item in the dead monster's hoard, and keep it...

Those Sword and Sorcery quotes are pretty cool. And they apply wonderfully to a "real-world" scenario where magic is virtually non-existent. If that's your campaign, than evertything you've said in this thread is perfect for that kind of campaign. But D&D is not that, and has never been that...

I disagree with both of you. PCs should be able to make magical items. What arbitrary rule says "That NPC wizard in town can make magical items, but you can't because you're a PC wizard"? If the player wants to do it, let them do it, or give them story reasons why they can't "Well, sure you can...

But not worth adventuring for. Really, do you see Conan running off to battle monsters in far off lands to get a magical spoon? Kind of like the way Bilbo didn't find Sting until the end of the Hobbit? Or the way Frodo didn't find Sting, nor Aragorn find Anduril nor any of them find Elven...

Well, one easy solution is to rule that, in most cases, things like Crippling Strike, Impeding Attack, Staggering Strike, maybe even Headshot, all work against many things that cannot suffer extra damage. So even though the rogue cannot do extra damage to a mummy, he might still be able to...

Here's my fix to 3.5e (house rules): All light and hvy armor adjusted so the AC and Max Dex total 9. Med armor totals 10. Armor check penalty is simplified to -1 for all light armor except padded (-0), -2 for all medium armor, and -4 for all hvy armor except full plate (-3 because it's so well...

All this is silly. Critical hits are clearly misnamed - that's why everyone is debating this. The intent of critical hits is not to say "Sweet, I chopped his brain in half with my x2 damage!". Rather, critical hits mean "Sweet, I hit him really hard that time; that's going to leave a mark!". So...
