Ocassionally, it really depends on the character. There's always the thought that your current character died because he wasn't much good, time to try something different. I've had one really memorable character who I want to bring back from the dead: Kyanus, an insanely heroic ranger...

Thanks guys :) Whee,custom title goodness :D

That's not the fault of not having EWP (katana), that's a fumble when attempting to sunder the table. Silly begger shouldn't have been doing it in the first place with a sword that costs $40. :rolleyes:

It's a gawdawful foolish concept. I have to admit I have subraces for dwarves and elves in my homebrew. They're mostly a hold-over from when I was but a young and foolish DM and FR's ideas like different races of elves seemed bright and interesting. Since then I've bodged them properly into the...

I had the same problem, except with dire lions instead of carrion crawlers. Heck, in 6 boosters, the only dragon I've got was a draconian.

Disturbingly accurate, shame the glasses hide the tired dead eyes :D

The title says it all, really. Just wondering how long it should take to hear back from Morrus for this. I'm just curious, really.

She also had an AC of -10 and 70% MR. It made her an interesting variation from most of the other demon lords and arch devils who had a lot more hit points, but much worse AC. Or at least that's how I always remember her, but I can't find my old MM to check :(

IIRC the drow (originally called the Ilythiiri) were dark-skinned with white hair in honour of Araushnee, Corellon Larethian's consort and their patron goddess. When she was banished from the Seldarine and became Lolth, they remained devoted to her and were declared dhaeraow, traitor, and they...

Two come to mind: Die Vecna Die: For taking a complex and interesting setting (Planescape) and breaking some of its core rules (Vecna in Sigil, the Lady asking the PCs for help), just to usher in 3E. Guide to Hell: Not bad in itself, but it's the source of the idea that Asmodeus is an...

The most useful one I've found was the old World Builder's Guide from TSR (1996 or so, I think). Very good for building a world that takes into account of real-world topographics and geology, and the random generators for historical events (properly graded so there are lots of recent events...

I'm fond of using short cut-scenes in more cinematic games, particularly Star Wars. They fit the mood of the game, and they get across information to the players that the 'viewers' would see that allows them to understand how and why things are happening. There's rarely anything that the players...

Train of thought warning.. As any of my players would gladly tell you, I tend to set some NPC levels higher than average in my homebrew campaign world. Not to the level of some people's image of FR, for example, but there are still a few lvl.30+ characters out there. The majority of them stay...

Cool, the map is taken from the old map of the whole of Oerth. A few tweaks, but consistance is good.

Thanks for the replies, guys, it's been a good step in the right direction for me.

My own home-brew uses variations on the standard races. Mostly flavour and background variations, but some rules differences too. Elves are much more fae in nature with a permanent dream-like vision that, among other things, grants their bonuses to sensory checks and saves against Enchantmant...

With the free pic threads in the forum being filled to sometime next century with requests, I was wondering who, if any of the numerous and skilled artists here would be willing to take a commission. If anyone is interested I can post the description etc, but otherwise, I'm just testing the water.

Thanks for the info, guys. It's been a great help. Now if only the D&D gift set would finally come out, everything would be sorted.

All except the meeting in a tavern. That gives me an idea for a campaign...
