    Why Do Many DMs Overlook This Restriction for Spellcasters?

    Unfortunetly d&d does not lend itself easily to that style of play. You could come up with a general upkeep schedule, and if the pc's don't have it done.. then they suffer some penalties. But- then do you change the schedule when the fight an iron golem- since it would do some damage to...

    How does a character multiclass into the Barbarian Class

    First- I don't allow it. I don't even like people who have multi'd out of it taking more levels in it. But, I can see how it is possible.... Have you read the 13th Warrior? It involves an Arabic poet(iirc?) travelling with some vikings. He becomes more like them over time. I also consider...

    How Do I Get My Players to be More Descriptive?

    Salutations, In general: You could introduce an action dice system and give them for good descriptions/roleplaying or just give extra xp. Be sure that you do it. It is a good start. Then work with the spellcasting pc's to come up with descriptions outside the game and use them during it...

    Why Do Many DMs Overlook This Restriction for Spellcasters?

    If the component costs money, then I just have the player deduct that much money from their gold. If the component is rare, then I will require they get it. Especially if it gives me an adventures idea. :D SD

    Isn't this illegal?

    My solution: The market is too small to fight it- so the customers should ostracize anyone they know who does pirate rpg books. Don't allow them to play at your table and drop them on the ignore list. Stolen books won't do much good to someone who has no one to play with. As for the books being...

    Where is your gaming room?

    Rent a motel room :) I don't have any good suggestions for you- sorry. Do you have any buddies who run/own a business that closes at 5? Could you use their office space? a meeting room? How about where you work? SD

    Reasons for War

    *biting tongue on political comments* In a fantasy world where good and evil is tangible, then such forces or the illusions become plausible reasons for war. If a country is in the process of summoning demons and another country is run by a LG church, then war could be a strong possiblity...

    Wide open for suggestions

    Hmm, how about the dwarf was a clerk for a general that serves Iuz's forces. He was well known to have a photographic memory and was exposed to many short/long term battle plans of the army. One night he made the mistake of admitting some dis-satisfaction with the forces of Iuz. Considering...

    Magical Insane Asylum

    You could make it a very nice place then- they live the life of ease. They are also fed a regular dose of Cha-damaging poison. With a low wisdom- they are now incapable of casting spells. Otherwise, they are allowed a comfortable life within the confines of the estate. SD

    Dwarven Battleragers: my 3e pet peeve

    I can understand the need for the PrC- it would help balance out the huge morale penalties for having a dwarf with a mohawk. SD

    Slaughterhouse Fight

    It sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun. The killing floor will allow for some cool scenes. Just remember to use a lot of balance checks during fights with oil slicked rooms. :D SD
