    How many potions can your PCs carry?

    I know some people do this... In my campaigns, we don't keep track of carried weight too much. We eyeball it, and keep it to common sense. But there are two main factors that sometimes give us trouble: Do any of you put a limit on how much gold, or how many potions a PC can carry at any...

    Re: Re: Do Necromancers need to be evil? Oh- Of course! Theres NOTHING wrong if it brings his character back to life!

    Buying Magic Items & Healing

    Gold or Potion cap? I know some people do this... In my campaigns, we don't keep track of carried weight too much. We eyeball it, and keep it to common sense. But there are two main factors that sometimes give us trouble: Do any of you put a limit on how much gold, or how many potions a PC...

    Nobody will play a wizard or sorcerer!

    Do Necromancers need to be evil? My DM won't let my character use any "raise the dead" spells unless my character is evil. He says that any tinkering with a corpse- is foul play. Not by the rules of his campaign either. He just has a personal moral problem with it. What should I tell him?

    Character Appearance

    Why not just roll up a rank for appearance too? Just for bragging rights, or to give some added fun role playing. Like an occasional attractive character or really ugly one. I'm thinking 5d4s to get an average of 10-15, and only the extremes would really stand out...

    Chaotic Neutral Rogue-Ranger

    Do rangers have to worship & protect nature? My DM says, that by the rules of D&D, they do. He says that they get all of their abilities and spells from the force of nature, where as I say my character learned them as an hunter would learn his abilities. I can see how maybe a Druid would...

    Nobody will play a wizard or sorcerer!

    Some of you say that as a DM, you should take it easy on the low-level mages and whatnot. Or have them play cowards, or that fighters should be sure to guard them... What do you do if the DM plays that most humanoid monsters are aware of how much punch a mage can do, and says that the monsters...

    Nobody will play a wizard or sorcerer!

    no I agree- even with a constitution bonus, that d4 HPs is pretty brutal- especially when combined with their low AC and BAB. They have a few spells, but if the fighter gets battered around, the cleric can make him good as new, and keep on going. If the Mage spends his spells, he's pretty much...

    Buying Magic Items & Healing

    I'm involved a few different games right now, and in one you can buy any magic item you want, if you have enough dough and go to the right store in town. This seems silly to me. In another game I'm in, the only magic items you get are spoils! This includes Healing potions and such. So if we...

    Character Appearance

    Hey everyone. We all know the six standard attributes: Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha How do you handle a characters appearance/comliness/beauty? One of my friends plays a swash-buckeling character whom he decided is "one of the most handsome gents in the land", and since there is nothing to...

    Chaotic Neutral Rogue-Ranger

    I have a CN, 1/2-Elf Rogue-Ranger in a game with some of my friends. They are having a problem accepting him. Their characters don't have a problem with him, mind you. Its out of game that they raise complaint. They don't think I am motivating him properly. We write histories, and describe our...

    Nobody will play a wizard or sorcerer!

    I play in three separate D&D groups. One with three of us. One with 8. And one with 5. And here's something I noticed... Nobody will play a wizard or sorcerer. Unless, it's as a second class that is. They will consider adding one of those two classes after they've gotten more hit points from...
