The fighters are one of 3 types. A) Studded leather, longbow, short sword and buckler - pointblank shot, precise shot, dodge, mobility B) Banded mail - bastard sword, small shield - EWP: bastard sword, improved init, weapon focus bastard sword, power attack c) Chain mail, bucklers, glaive...

The group is closing in on the big showdown. The Villian is a 10th level cleric of Neuril (sp?). The party consists of a human evoker (5th), a halfling mage (5th), a human (ex-pal 3/fgr 2), a human cleric of we-jas(5th), and a 5th level ghalae (sp?) from Savage Species. The players also have...

I generally use an intimidate check from the person who is most visually affecting the opposition with some circumstance bonuses. Works pretty well. Orcs tend to scatter after a big lightning bolt mows through them or the fighter they were all swarming power attacks for 5 and takes down 6 of...

Works for me.

I give a flat 5% bonus to xp for this session IF I got a journal after the last session. Seems to work out OK.

Hey, is there any way to upload a custom avatar. I can't find an option anywhere in the user control panel

We actually played a game like this once. I never figured out what the game system was (though I suspect it might have been gurps). The DM gave us a list of abilities and we ranked them in the order that we wanted them from best to worst. He then randomly determined our scores (and didn't...

The thing about craps is you can make insane amounts of bets in a short period of time. You can, on a bad run, burn a lot, lot of money, much more than in blackjack and certainly roulettte. That's why the house edge in the came can be so low and still make money for the casino. BUT DAMN is it...

How is this any worse than "I choose you, Celestial Hawk" "I choose you, Formain Warrior" or "I choose you, Feindish Shark"

There are a few feats, abilities and skills that don't work as well as they might without knowing where everybody is in relation to each other. The ones that come to mind right away are Tumble, Mobility, Spring Attack, Combat reflexes, charging, and flanking. You certainly can keep track of...

Thanks for the varying perspectives guys. :)

In my campaign the Church is the representative of a lawful neutral god of death. Being lawful neutral they want to uphold the natural order of birth --> life --> death Undeath is unnatural and a blasphemy to Wee Jas. All undead must be destroyed without question. Agree? Yes? No? Why not?

Give the NPC's a lot of non-permanent magic like wands, potions, scrolls etc. That way looting fallen foes does boost the party but it doesn't accumilate as fast. Also, remember to have the NPC use a lot of these items while the battle is raging. And if the players get a little ahead of the...

I voted 3 I like the new system but WOTC could have sold the new books for 19.95 for the first 2 months just like they did for 3.0 when it came out. A lot of people just bought the books like a year ago or maybe a year and a half. I like most of the rule changes and I like the attempts to...

Step One: Charge Sorcerer screaming. Step two: Laugh as intimitaded sorcerer grabs for his longspear. Step three: Take Long Spear from sorcerer with just a plain old disarm. Don't mind the AoO he won't hit you, he's a sorcerer. Step four: Insert longspear into sorcerer's throat Step five...

3.0 is far from a relic. There will be a LOT of gamers who won't upgrade to 3.5 because they've bought their 3.0 games later than the day it came out and so they don't want to pitch all their books a year after buying them. Yes, I bought the 3.5 books. The next campaign I run I'll use the 3.5...

Hey I had been looking... :P I checked the description of the item in the DMG. I checked the FAQ on the WOTC site. I didn't think to check the description of Fox's cunning because the prereq's for the item don't include that spell (though I suspect that might have changed for 3.5) I figured...

And I just opened up my 3.0 DMG (we are playing 3.0) The 12 level sample Wizard has a headband of intellect +2 which brings his INT to 20. But he still only has bonus spells in keeping with an 18 INT. Pairing that with the fact that fox's cunning clearly states that it doesn't grant bonus...

Ooops, right you are. Those game designers get some stuff right every once in a while.
