    Alternatives to At-Will Magic

    At-will have a place, but Magic Missile shouldn't be one of them. I like at-will attacks, but I do not like an auto-hit at-will magic missile. Magic Missile should be returned to its former glory. My proposed solution is to make Magic Missile a Level 1 spell that lets you auto hit with 3...

    D&D 5E Our 5 Session Playtest

    Magic Missile should be returned to full spell power. My proposed solution is to make Magic Missile a Level 1 spell that lets you auto hit with 3 missiles that deal 1d4+1 each. The missiles can be targeted individually, so you can spread them out or assign them all to 1 target. Then if you...

    Skill Challenges: Please stop

    On making skill challenges entertaining... Something I'm interested in trying in my game is give the characters different types of role-playing opportunities created by their skill checks. In a "round" of a skill challenge, I'd ask each of the players how they want to contribute to the...

    What's in a (Party) name?

    I do like Wayfarer's Pact. If you were open to other random ideas, here are some more "group" words. Company Companions Heroes Guardians Compact Seekers Also as heroes of the kingdom, having the "of the Crown" descriptor is very prestigious. I had a group that wanted to call themselves...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Uncanny Dodge = Immune to Feints?

    Yeesh And as a DM, I would judge that a rule to trump another rule only applies to the rules that are specifically mentioned in its description. To assume other rules are also to be trumped, is still an assumption, and therefore should not be used as a core rule. A badly worded rule does not...

    [3.5] Rangers lose medium armor!

    good lord Wow. This is Hilarious. Spouting opinions as undeniable proof. Celtavian, you make me smile. :) The ranger is not the undeniably BEST cherry-picked class in the game. That is not truth or proof. It is your NSHO. They have to take TWO levels to get these bennies you think are...

    What is the Worst Class in D&D?

    Sorcerer was targeted by the drive-by 3.5 hit too. When I went to Winter Fantasy, I had the pleasure of attending a 3.5 Q&A by the brand managers and designers. Andy Collins specifically pointed out that one of his favorite classes... the Sorcerer... is now really cool. I supoose that he was...

    Do you think Haste is too powerful as is?

    Possible answer to haste lovers How about a 5th level spell called Mage Haste that gives you a +4 dodge bonus to your AC and an extra partial action per round that must be used to cast a spell, use a spell like ability, or activate a magic item? Eh? Eh? ;) ...wannabe using haste as is at...

    Do you think Haste is too powerful as is?

    I think haste should be lessened in power Mainly because of several experiences I've encountered. 1) Bad guys had haste. Good guys did not. The bad guys wiped the floor with the good guys. I had to come up with an excuse to avoid a TPK. 2) Good guys had haste. Really tough bad guys did...

    What's your 3.5e wishlist?

    Chain Shirts and the Mithral Problem My problem with Chain shirts, Breastplates, and Full plate is the super cheap price of MITHRAL. Now Mithral is supposed to be good stuff...just about the BEST stuff, and I don't think it should be lessened in power, but the bang for the buck...? 1,100gp...

    What famous people have played D&D?

    Robin Williams I happen to know that Robin Williams plays Warhamster at LEAST. I was partaking in a mini-convention in Cardhaus Games in Seattle, and the owner told me that Williams was coming over to check out the store. Indeed he did, and raised quite a few eyebrows and smiles. He...

    Spell Resistance Question

    What about the shifter and SR? My buddy just made a PC druid/shifter. He wanted a svirfneblin, but didn't want to pay the EL cost. So now he runs around as a regular gnome wildshaped into a Svirfneblin. Greater Wildshape gives the Shifter all the Extraordinary abilities of the shape he has...

    Whips and Rapid Shot?

    So can a 3rd level Bard who is proficient with a whip use rapid shot (taking the -2 penalty for both shots) to benefit from 2 ranged touch trip attacks per round? ...wannabe sure I can do this before I spring it on my DM...

    Stacking Tomes and Manuals

    No stacking In my opinion, it would not stack. If a PC who has benefitted from reading a Tome of Clear Thought +3, reads another Tome of Clear Thought, but THIS one is only +2, then he would not benefit in any way shape or form. I would rule, however, that if the PC read a lesser book, then...

    Help on paladin's mount survival, please

    Wyckedemus Reapersaurus, I was unaware that I was being such a prick for doing my part in Artoomis' home campaign. I should have considered your feelings before I performed my duties as DM. Back off, I'm tired of your ignorant and pathetic slander. Your insults have made your opinions...

    New prestige class, focus on bards

    Not bad It's interesting. Mostly a skill-based character with survivability in mind as well as info gathering. The mix of basic class skills are powerful, but the unique class skills are on the shy side of power. It seems balanced, and I like it. If anyone was interested in it, I'd allow...
