    Don't multiclass if...

    I agree completely. Multiclassing is for me a way to better match the character abilities with the character concept (for instance, Fi6/Ba2 for an educated, art-loving knight. Usually, I keep the ratio of the different class levels approximately constant, too. Hagor

    Location of CotSQ

    My DM has moved it from the Dalelands to the Silver Marches. He placed the entrance to the underdark near the town of Deadsnows. Hagor

    How do you award XP?

    Except for the "since late 1E'-part: this is how I do it as well. After each session I make up each player's XP earned and usually give them at the start of the next session or when a certain goal is met/story arc is finished. Hagor

    A Review of 6E

    I'm surprised they opted for a further reduction of the ideal party size. It's a pity, actually, because in some of the later supplements of 5.75 E (IIRC) there were some interesting optional rules. e.g. the supplements 'it's time to party' and 'you've got to fight for your right to (be a)...

    A Review of 6E

    Have they updated the rules on interrupting/countering attacks of opportunity? I hope the new rules don't increase the time to resolve combat too long. Hagor

    Attacks of Opportunity are ruining D&D!!

    Did I miss something? Is it AoO-thread mating season? hagor

    Do Plot-Based Adventures Necessarily Involve 'Railroading'?

    as a little side note: I'm currently running (a slightly modified) 'Assassin's Knot' (the sequel of the 'Bone Hill'-module IIRC). I don't know if you'd classify it as a 'plot-driven' or 'setting-driven' module. While it has a clearly defined goal, it has a well-developed setting and NPCs as...

    Do Plot-Based Adventures Necessarily Involve 'Railroading'?

    I think there are various degrees of railroading. IMHO, the really 'linear' plots (find A, then talk to B, who accuses C, etc) are the least fun: as a player you have indeed little to say in the matter. As a player I don't mind a clearly defined plot/goal: as long as I can develop my...

    Your First magical Item

    I don't know if it was the first (there may have been already a ring of protection or some scrolls), but I remember that my wizard got some bracers of brachiation. I can't remember if I used them much, but it was fun trying to figure out what the bracers did and, after identification, seeking...

    What monster killed your first PC?

    Mainly due to infrequent playing sessions and frequent premature campaign "deaths", only one of my characters has died so far. He was a dwarven fighter (miner), named Robert DenHero. He died fighting a bone golem (that stupid skeleton kept going and did some major harm) and at the same time...

    [d20 / D&D 3.5] d100 NPCs Thread

    My thoughts exactly! This is a very nice collection of fine NPCs! as a side note: it seems I involuntarilly posted a second executioner. When looking through this thread once more, I noticed (too late, obviously) that Turanil had already posted one earlier. Perhaps as a bonus I'll post another...

    Best adventures since Issue #100?

    I had great fun running Tammeraut's Fate (well, a somewhat modified version to fit in my middle earth campaign, to be exact). My players enjoyed it as well: the preparations, the tactics, the fights. (side note: One of my players has rolled that session more nat 1s than I thought possible...)...

    [d20 / D&D 3.5] d100 NPCs Thread

    With all the outlaws and brigands in this thread and even an escaped murderer on the loose, it's time to strengthen the side of the Law (sort of). #99 - Executioner Exp2/Fi2; Source (PHB, DMG, SRD) The world is full of criminals and someone has to take care of them. Whatever the kind of...

    How did you learn how to play?

    This brings back some memories... Some 15 years ago, a friend was telling all the adventures his character had. This got me interested. Pretty soon, I joined the group, learned the rules and was hooked. I started out as a first level wizard running around in the Forgotten Realms...

    Whole lotta lurkin' goin' on

    (oh no, they're on to me! :uhoh: ) in my case: I registered mainly to be able to DL at some of the Middle Earth d20 conversions. My low post-count has several reasons (excuses?), some of them has been mentioned before. In random order: - infrequent visits (although lately I visited more...

    [d20 / D&D 3.5] d100 NPCs Thread

    I'll add another one. The following NPC (named Dixon of Dock Green) was created to flesh out the background of my halfling fighter/thief/archer PC in a Forgotten Realms campaign. My character and this NPC grew up together in Waterdeep and then moved to Silverymoon. #98 - Master...

    Whisky for my men, beer for my horses!

    Besides some already mentioned songs (the ones by Led Zeppelin e.g.), here are two other which have for me some great adventure hook potential: "Broadsword (Jethro Tull)" I see a dark sail on the horizon set under a black cloud that hides the sun. Bring me my broadsword and clear...
