Haha, I agree! I didn't move here by choice - almost 17 years ago, my mom got transferred out here (from Detroit, MI) by the company she worked for, and I haven't had the opportunity to escape yet! It actually wasn't so bad when we first moved here - even during the summer, nights were a cool...

You can also achieve that by choosing the Metamagic Specialist sorcerer variant ability from PH2. You lose your ability to gain a familiar, but who cares about that? :p

I live in Phoenix, AZ. There is a lot of concrete and blacktop, which sucks in all the heat during the day and is not very good at releasing it at night. Our LOWS right now are still 85 - 90+. So, no time spent under the stars for me, thank you. At least, not during summer. :) As a matter...

Are there level adjustments given for any of the monsters? I haven't noticed a single LA given for any creature since they went to the new stat block format...

Dragon Magazine has a ghoulish creature template that can be used to turn a humanoid, monstrous humanoid, or giant into a ghoul. I don't remember which specific issue the article was in, but it was reprinted in the Dragon Compendium v1.

No one's mentioned Keyser Soze (The Usual Suspects) ? Evil mastermind who works from behind the scenes who destroys anyone who opposes him and everyone who knew them just for good measure. Is utterly ruthless in accomplishing his goals. A master of deception, manipulation, and blackmail who...

Not too long ago, I would have agreed with you. Nowadays, I actually like a lot of this, because I don't have a whole lot of time for game preparation anymore. I love having stats for creatures with templates and class levels and stuff like that added on. I wouldn't even mind an entire book...

I would like to first see books on the Old Empires, Vilhon Reach, and Bloodstone Lands (in that order), but I think a revisit to the Lands of Intrigue would be great after that.

Concealment comes up in my games quite often. My players love it when it works for them and hate it when it works against them. All in good fun. It balances out. :)

You are both correct, Jack and Bront. I double-checked my Unearthed Arcana, and it doesn't even have a LA listing for fire hobgoblin, so I probably just spaced it when adding to my list. I should have known something was wrong, cuz when I was typing out those modifiers I was thinking to myself...

New Waterdeep is the name of a town founded on Maztica by explorers from Faerun. I don't think it's really been discussed (even minimally) in any 3E supplement, though it may be mentioned in the Maztica section of the FRCS. I don't have my books right now, so I don't know for sure.

No Level Adjustment Fire Elf (Unearthed Arcana) - +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Int, -2 Cha Sun Elf (FR Campaign Setting) - -2 Con, +2 Int Arcane Gnome (Dragon #291) - -2 Str, +2 Con, +2 Int, -2 Wis Tinker Gnome (Dragonlance Campaign Setting) - -2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Wis Fire Hobgoblin (Unearthed...

Nope for all three.

See, now this surprises me. I have a friend that plays a bit more than I do and his main character is still 5th lvl too. Maybe we're just "ultra-casual" players? :D But that's ok. I'd rather take it slow and enjoy it than play for a month and already accomplish everything in the game. To...

I play on Tharashk. My characters are: Markander Talshir - Wizard5: The only one I usually play. Radic Talshir - Fighter3 Orvin Talshir - Paladin2 Vatok Talshir - Barbarian1

The only quests that can be played solo are in the Harbor. Some quests are solo only and cannot be played if you are in a party. The other quests are the group quests, and they've added a "Solo" box to check in addition to the "Normal", "Hard", and "Elite" boxes if you want to play solo.

I wouldn't say you level very fast, unless you're one of those people that play 8 hours a day. I've been playing for about two months now, roughly 2-3 hours most days (sometimes longer, sometimes none at all) and I got a Wizard5, Fighter3, Paladin2, and Barbarian1. If you have a lot of time to...

I only got a chance to play around a little today with my Wizard5 before I had to get to work. The solo quests were great, I thought. Obviously, as a Wizard5 I walked right through them, but I still got 1000xp for a little less than 30 minutes of play. I'd have to wait to try out my...

I agree with this 100%. I don't think ANY prestige class should give full spellcasting progression; otherwise, what would be the point of staying as a straight wizard, cleric, or what have you? It seems odd to me that a 10/10 wizard/PrC would be considered balanced with a lvl 20 wizard when...

I allow just about anything into my campaign, so I've come up with terminology the people of my campaign world use to describe the various systems of magic. Magic-User: Anyone who uses magic (spells, psionics, incarnum, etc.) Spellcaster: Anyone who casts spells (arcane or divine). Priest...
