    D&D 5E Drizzt as a LG 8th Level Champion

    I was looking at mine just today, without the single class bonus and without exceptional strength(18(01) or higher) which drizzt does not have his level limit is 6....thus single class his limit is 8. Hey what can I say, I love 1e still....

    D&D 5E Drizzt as a LG 8th Level Champion

    A 1e drow ranger was ok but given drizzt's stats and light issues he would have had some issues. Limited to level 8 max, low to hit chance, and technically by 1e rules could not use both scimitars at once. The damage bonus was awesome for rangers to be sure espically so for two weapon...

    D&D 5E 5E PHB heading back into the Amazon top 100?

    5e lost me with self healing fighters and napping, but it's good for the game for it to do well. And good for me, I talked to some guys at work and they are young playing 5e, they asked me how true it was to old school and my answer was old school means different things to different people...

    D&D 5E Drizzt as a LG 8th Level Champion

    Am I misremembering that he clearly did cast a warding spell and summoning or telepathy spell in the very first novel why he tried to speak with the demon.

    D&D 5E Drizzt as a LG 8th Level Champion

    He was a 1e ranger. 1e ranger wore the heaviest of armors, did not have innate stealth( though drizzt did as an elf), were wicked hard to surprise, and basically were Knights of the forest. If I recall drizzt was also Chaotic Good, having a personal code of honor does not make you lawful by...

    D&D 5E Drizzt as a LG 8th Level Champion

    First novel came out while 1e was the current edition. Rangers had no special dual wield ability then , but all drow did. Just to counter the what magic did he use, he used effectively a protection from evil spell before summoning that demon in the first book. Rangers in 1e had access to...

    Harassment in gaming

    I don't want to get distracted by arguements over whether a claim one poster makes is exactly true or even verifiable is all. I simply can not know and prove with any degree of certainty that what another poster says is true. I would simply like to focus instead on solutions and not get...

    Harassment in gaming

    Thanks mech, the advice helps. I think it would have to be obviously case by case, if the harassment is over then asking the person if they would like me to get someone in authority not only offers to help but let's them know they have help at hand. If it on going I wouldn't be entirely...

    Harassment in gaming

    I just don't want to disempower as I try to help. But I see your point and agree. Better to offer help and be turned down then not offer it when needed. Still I really don't want to disempower someone in my effort to support them. And I totally get my view point is skewed by my size and...

    Harassment in gaming

    if you are being harassed what would help you? What should I do as just another person seeing the behavior? Would just standing beside you and voicing my support of you personally help, should I be very public in my support? Should I go to someone in authority and get them involved? Should...

    Harassment in gaming

    I do indeed think we need to move past her words. Again you seriously think her words matter more then making the gaming word harassment free? I question your logic there. What is there really to discuss about her words, they are over the top and only some unknown amount of harassment at a...

    Harassment in gaming

    neither her claims nor any by posters here matter as much as making the change in our collective behavior. Not to me anyway.

    Harassment in gaming

    If all harassment matters then surely it's easy enough to move past the cheap shots and get to the fixing. Seriously if someone is on fire and calls me a name, that doesn't mean I let them burn. Grow a little thicker skin to her name calling, or just ignore her and her artical and get to...

    Harassment in gaming

    I really wish we could move away from that artical, it's become a poison pill to this subject. Is the artical really more important then the topic? Is it? Seriously if one artical matters more then harassment in the gaming community then maybe we can just assume harassment is so minor it...

    Harassment in gaming

    Not all of us gamers lacked the physique of jocks......�� But yeah the Arnold Connan was likely more wishfullfillment but the comic book version was more Tarzan style. Lean mean fighting machine. Still none of that stuff really strikes me as nearly as important as this...

    Cut scenes in your RPG

    To wrap up a large battle where the actions were already taken care of and end that chapter of a campaigne I did once write an eight or so page like ending credits where I described how the events changed the world, the npcs, and such....does that count?

    Harassment in gaming

    This being the internet I tend to not trust statements of "fact" with no proof. The artical recalls many events and implies they all happened and happened to the same person. I honestly don't believe that, however I also don't care. One of the other poster related her experiences and again my...

    Harassment in gaming

    Personally I couldn't just turn my back on someone being harassed and live with my self afterward. I have little respect for those who could, legal requirements be damned you help your fellow person if you see them in need.

    Would a Barbarian/Knight hybrid be too contradictory?

    Just because... The 1e barbarian level so slowly (Remember in 1e classes leveled at very different speeds) that they would fall two three or even four levels behind everyone. To make up for this to a degree they not only got a d12 for hit points but received double the normal hit point bonus...

    How Old is Your Oldest Die?

    I have a d12 from '77 and most of the set from the basic box from '81 or '82. The d12 is in better shape the box set dice are pretty much round and near unreadable.
