    Alignment litmus test

    The problem you're facing with this test is that many, myself included, would argue that there is no such thing as a selfless act and thus there is always a benefit. Even if that benefit is only that it makes you feel good about yourself you're still gaining something for doing the helpful...

    Whats a player to do?

    Sadly enough our second level guys started out trying to save the world. Buts thats besides the point. I kinda like the idea of running some one or two session games with someone else DM'ing. Since we only play everyone other week we can have have the short games on the weeks we don't play...

    Whats a player to do?

    So I think I get what you guys are saying. For my DM, epic, low combat, home brewed worlds are both what makes DM'ing fun for him and a natural part of his growth. Perhaps we should push to have some other players DM even if its out of theri comfort zone. That way he will both get a break and...

    Whats a player to do?

    Did I mention he is a stubbern man. I figure there is a good 50% chance that he will take it badly. With no other DM's around to take up the slack it could very well mean no gaming for a long while. I know I need to tell him but if I'm blunt about it I may end up with no gaming which would be...

    What's the point with Skill Tricks?

    I totally agree Stalker. I love the new trick system. But then again I love new complexity added to the game. I love that I will have a new thing to consider when I build my rogue other than just maxing out the same skills every level. My wife on the other hand couldn't be more different and...

    Whats a player to do?

    The group I play in has been together since 3rd ed came out and with a few exception we have had only one DM. He is an amazing DM and always creates a fun immersive experience for all the players and up until the last couple years we have had few complaints. Over the years his game style has...

    What's the point with Skill Tricks?

    I can see a lot of reasons to take tricks. First of all skills are capped so if you want to be the best climber, tumbler or lock picker unless you take skill focus you are pretty much just as good as any other player who keeps that skill maxed. Tricks let you do something that sets you apart...

    Why do you play D&D?

    I play D&D because I still find it interesting after all these years. With almost every other game you run out of options sooner or later. With chess I know what I need to do to win a game after 4-5 moves. With games like monopoly, life and clue games get repeatitive. Even with games like...

    The Complete Bard

    I played a halfing who often used his hat of disguise to pose as a handicapable goblin with a crutch. By the time the figured out I was a threat it was too late they were already in my power <insert sinister laugh>. It was fun and functional, started to change my parties mind about bards...

    Thoughts on these classes?

    Swashbucklers are ok, I don't think they add enough on their own to justify a base class seeing as a number or fighter/X classes will give you the same feel. Hexblade is underpowered so if your characters want to play one I'd allow it. The PHII has a nice varient that makes them better. I...

    Complete Scoundrel Here

    It appears that most of the high level required tricks are as good as many feats. As my groups tend to play the lower level range tricks seem perfectly balanced but I can see them causing some balance issues at higher level. Still have to get my copy and play test some to be sure. Has anyone...

    Journeyman base class in Dungeonscape?

    My vote is for something like a rogue/ranger skill set with +6 or more skills pts, bonus feats every few levels, trapfinding, all good saves, d8 hps, and 3/4 BAB and maybe some special abilities having to do with the major trapmonkey skills. Maybe a built in luck system / action point system...

    Complete Scoundrel Here

    Could I trouble someone to post the luck feats and a little more about the fortune's friend class? Trying to get luck domain cleric together for a game and CS still isn't in the local store. Thanks in advance -Dark
