I think the Dwarven Urgrosh was probably usable, as would be any other "haft-with-a-spear-on-the-end". I've seen a lot of ancient spears/pikes where the butt was pointed so that it could be used on someone who managed to get past the points. In fact, I might use these house rules for spears...

Again, stealing the Belfast would be the way to go. It's only 50 years out of date, after all, so could defeat pretty much anything you'd encounter. The only problem would be finding ammo for the guns (12x 6-inch heavy guns, plus LOADS of AA). Fuel should be easy- I think Belfast is a steam...

WotC's free starting module "A Dark and Stormy Knight" (available on the website) has the PCs all take shelter from a thunderstorm in the same tomb entrance in a hill. There's a local custom called "stormpeace" which stops intelligent beings attacking each other while sheltering from a storm...

Digester. That acid attack will be doing some serious damage for a CR6, and its speed lets it be where it wants not where the PCs want. In 1d4 rounds it can kill the rogue and the wizard, and its speed means sneak attacks are unlikely. Cockatrice. Very annoying when the PCs are too poor to pay...

Agamemnon- 10th-level Fighter or thereabouts Achilles- 20th-level Demigod Fighter When they have a disagreement, Achilles doesn't beat down Agamemnon. He just goes off and sulks. On a less serious note, look at the Azure Kingdom in Order of the Stick. Lord Shojo has specifically stated that he...

I think flintlocks (or matchlocks) have a place, especially in Eberron. Wizards would use them because of their knowledge of Alchemy (cue mention of Warhammer Skaven Warlocks with pistols). Dwarves might use gunpowder charges for mining, and are the most likely race to invent the infantry square...

If it wasn't for the 9th-level bit I would also have selected one of the 4-level casting classes (Paladin, Ranger or CW Hexblade). All of these can tank to a varying degree, the first two have easy archetypes for the player to get into (gallant knight, Legolas) and they all start out very easy...

Here's what I can remember from my hormagaunt: CE Aberration 3 HD Abilities: Str 16, Dex 22, Con 14, Int 3, Wis 12, Cha 3 +4 Nat. Armour Bonus Attacks: 4 claws (primary) and a bite (secondary) Feats: Multiattack, Weap. Finesse, Imp. Nat. Attack (claws) SQ: Pounce (can charge and full attack)...

I like the fountain-of-parchment idea. The book would end up looking like one of my school books- with loose sheets shoved in every which way...

I'm currently in the middle of the second Cugel book.

I've recently been reading Jack Vance's Dying Earth, and I love the various tricks the characters use or are victims of. I'd like to see some similar ideas, either taken from Vance or made up, for use in D&D- usually by minor villains. Here are some ideas: The owner of a stable sells horses...

Start to use "bloody". It's fine outside the UK.

Where are you ATM? I'll be on an Ocean Classroom ship this summer as a student. And as for the captain idea, my cousin (who did it for a long period in Greece) got me into it.

Which outfit? Ocean Classroom? I'm currently at school in the UK, coming up to GCSEs. I plan to go through uni partly by working as a charter yacht captain/ delivery skipper in the summers, then become a scientist, probably tending towards the engineering side of things. But first I need to...

I like the Goliath. Come on, +4 Str and a Large Greataxe...

I don't know. It's a holdover from wargaming AFAIK, but why wargaming has it? Possibly because after making attack rolls, the attacker gives the dice to his opponent, who "throws" them back to make the save (ie rolling them so they land next to the attacking player, so he can roll attacks for...

I have an idea for a campaign where money is actually magical power in a portable form. So: 10 motes = 1 thaum 10 thaums= 1 star= 1 gp 10 stars= 1 comet

Don't like it. Nowhere to put HD No section for spells It's ugly Skills aren't on the front page It's badly laid out

No. Better. Haley has to decide whether to pay her father's ransom or pay for Elan to be Raised...

I really don't see the point of Warrior and Adept. I just use Fighters and Clerics/ Sorcerers.
