    How much of your character's life do you actually play out in game?

    Time jump Interesting question... glad you mentioned it. I love this part of the game. Sometimes, I'll progress the game months or years during a session. Sometimes, players are shocked. Ranger: "Okay, I've scouted the entire forest valley over the last few days, and think this flat area...

    Slow Player

    Slow We had a slow player. He was a bit slow outside of the game too. We spent some time coaching him outside of the game, and had him list all his possible actions on an index card, for easy reference during the game. Lastly, we had him select default actions to take, for times when he could...

    Most interesting monster death

    A friend told me that his party of PCs needed to slip past a sleeping dragon to escape to the surface, during one adventure. The old red dragon, disturbed and woken, pinned the party's halfling thief ("Beebop") to the wall with one taloned hand around the thief's waist. The dragon brought one...

    Seen any diety/immortal supplements?

    I'm looking for d20 supplements (currently in pdf/print) that expand SDAs available to divine powers, or any systems (again, currently available) that offer a system for immortal/divine ascension. Know of any? BTW, I'm aware of UK's Immortals Handbook (and although patient, continue to squirm...

    Lamest character deaths ever!

    About as bad as my 1st Magicuser (AD&D) fumbling and falling on his dagger. <Ouch>

    Campaign Power Levels

    Agreed. "Power Level" (measured as "above-" or "below-" average treasure) can change the speed of character progression, depending on the level of challenge offered to the players. Too much treasure or magic, and the next challenge may not be so much of a challenge. Balancing power can be...

    Do you have auditions for your gaming group?

    Talk to a player about the game for a few minutes, you will learn a lot : how they play (Min/Max, Monte Haul), and why they play. ~o.

    Moments you live for in D&D gaming

    Best moments of playing... .. the players feel like heroes, and they are... because they have forgotten the DM and are lost in the story. .. dice thrown in the open speak, and the impossible happens. .. everything clicks during an impromptu session. .. players destroy dice because of an...

    immortals handbook

    Howdy, Mighty One! You must be a bit steamed it was not included... you are the first I thought of when I saw it posted without the needed nuggets. A bit disappointing, the IH is at the top of my shopping list.... blast! My immortals can't wait any longer, please tell WotC to hurry... I'm soon...

    Classed based defense bonuses for D&D classes

    ...if you allow that, you should probably also allow someone to upgrade defence bonus progression from poor to medium or from medium to good by spending a feat. Make sense? OP

    The price of beauty

    I must disagree. These spells are derivatives of Polymorph Other, which has no XP component. Even within the definition of that spell, 3d to last paragraph it states "You can freely designate the new form's minor physical qualities (such as hair color, hair texture, and skin color) within the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Headband of Intellect and Skills (First 3.5 Houserule)

    No skill pt+ for headband = bad. I agree to a certain degree, but in some ways it IS like wearing a belt of giant strength. Put it on, plus up... take it off, plus down. No questions asked. Your muscles are no better or worse after the fact. Don't forget we are talking about magic, and also...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Q: 3.5 Metamagic changes?

    What basic changes exist for metamagic in 3.5? I'm of the impression (perhaps wrongly) that the original written intent of 3.0 metamagic was for casters to NOT apply a metamagic feat more than once to any particular casting (although this is something that many/some folks do). For example, a...

    DR 0 arcane caster need 8 hrs rest?

    Thanks Hygric. Where is this found in the core books? Or is it true because an exception is not found? Ferret, you are funny.:) Orlic

    Gunblade

    I'd recommend that whatever you come up with, it should be heavy, fragile, and/or expensive. This follows the "Better, Faster, Cheaper" rule. You can have only 2 of the 3, so choose carefully. Orlic
