Tact-Tiles - How I love thee. Metal Miniatures - about 10% actually painted! :p Index Cards for Initiative. These are preprinted with vital stats of NPC, Monsters and PCs. There's enough info to run characters that don't show up, and clear enough to highlight special attacks and qualities of...

I'm lucky enough that my wife would let me hang out with my friends and game on V-day (she just did 2 weeks ago for my b-day too). However, today's not a normal gaming day, plus, I don't think the only other married member would be able to game if it was. Mark me down for neither.

I would have considered paying for the hotel for everyone if they could actually take time off from work... Considering that Trisha and I got a room with only a King bed, you're not invited. :D If you, or anyone else from Fortune's Fury wanted to attend, I'd gladly drive.

I come here before all of you to ask for your help in making my first GenCon the best GenCon Some Background: I've been playing (A)D&D since about 1996, and regularly since about 1999. I've tried other systems in the past, but non have ever really stuck like D&D. I love to play and I love to...

Sure would suck to depend on that wizard to find all your traps, without trapfinding and all... :D

Thanks for the insight! I already have Tumble house ruled to include BAB (10+BAB). Makes it easy if you max Tumble, but can get scary at higher levels if you don't. Makes you think twice about tumbling between two enemies.

This is the absolute worst experience ever! I'm starting to question whether or not I should cancel my badges! I've gone through the process twice now, and by the time I get to the "confirm reservation" page and confirm, it's booked, then it takes another 1/2 hour just to find out that there's...

Anyone have any luck with the lodging website? It's been 15 minutes now and it's timed out 4 times on me. :mad:

How would the cap on cross-classed skills work? So first level, a fighter can spend up to 2 skill points on open lock. What if he then multiclasses into a rogue? Can he then put 3 ranks (total 5) into open lock, or would he be limited to one rank? (by the proposed system) I like the idea...

Mmmm, cherries. :D This is by far not the only house rule I use (or consider using). For one Rogues already get 10 + Int. skill points. (Bards get 6 plus 2 bonus to use for Perform only). Could someone please explain how a Fighter with Tumble and UMD is broken? And if there are other...

For what it's worth, IMC the DC to tumble past someone is 10 + all threatening opponents BAB. Through someone is 20 + just that opponents BAB. Level 1 Rogue with 4 Ranks and +3 for dex, can tumble around a goblin 85% of the time. Level 5 Rogue with 8 Ranks and a +3 for dex, can tumble...

Has anyone ever house ruled all skills as being "class" skills (i.e. no cross-class skills)? What are the long term ramifications of such a house rule? The biggest "abuse" I can see is that fighters and the like will have easy access to UMD. Is this such a problem, given the weakness of...

For those of you in love with GameMastery's (Paizo) Item Cards, but hate the random distribution system, check out http://www.ccgarmory.com for singles! Some seem expensive, and others are quite cheap, which is odd given the non-rare system the Item Card line uses... But if you're looking for...

Maybe I've missed it before, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone mention an Advanced 3.5e. IMO this would make more marketing sense than a 3.75e. I'd be willing to be more people would be willing to buy into an AD&D 3.5e set of books that would essentially be a 3.75e with minor rules...

I think somebody clicked the wrong box. Cleric has a vote? That's just insane. :confused: I mean sure if you're going to play a campaign that doesn't go past about 5th level fine, wands and potions will work. But at later levels when everything out there damages or drains your abilities...

Must save Sigil! Well last night I was forced to start voting against everything but Sigil. Thanks to a lovely little trap by the DM was I sent to a random plane... And of course, where do I end up? The Outlands! I may not want to find a way back to the material plane. My Gish is in...

It's amazing how many votes the PHBII has gotten each round, yet it still survives! For me, DhoOom is out, since it's the only one of those books I don't own. See ya! :p

Hey you! Yeah you! Stop voting for Ptolus!

I had to vote for Jason. Sorry, but until you post the card list for the Adventure Gear set, you're "chopped liver." Well in this case, there'll be a lot more than your liver getting chopped! :p

Maybe not exactly new, but I wanted to see what everyone thought. My friend's reaction at first was "whoa," followed by, well I guess that's not really that powerful. First Strike Preresiquites: BAB +10, Greater Weapon Focus (melee weapon), Weapon Focus (melee weapon) Benefit: While...
