    Does the Monk class stink?

    True enough.

    Does the Monk class stink?

    Over all I don't think the monk is too bad. The BAB, while not the best, is also not the worst. I mean bards, rogues, clerics, and druids can do alright in combat and they use the same table, only 5 less than a fighter, paladin or barbarian at level 20. No biggie. Plus, the UAB provides even...

    Does the Monk class stink?

    I've been looking at Iron Kingdoms lately which led to me contemplating an Ogrun Monk. Not necessarily playing one, but just the idea. They have a +4 str bonus IIRC and are large size so they would be at a base +6 over medium sized creatures in a grapple check. Oh and that base move of 40'...

    IceStorm in Upstate New York

    One of the greatest things about springtime weather, at least in the midwest, is when a snowstorm blows through, but within days it's suddenly warm enough to wear short sleeve shirts. Snowball fights in sunny, 70 degree weather rock.

    Common rules errors

    Well not to nit pick, well okay yeah it is nit picking... :) Anyway there's a lot more to making a sturdy whip than plaiting. A lot of cutting mainly and things can easily go wrong there. But, yeah Craft is definately a case by case basis type of skill. As far as common sense...

    Common rules errors

    As far as the Craft thing it depends on what d20 game you are playing. D&D doesn't specify I don't believe, at least I can't find it right now one way or another. Star Wars states that it's a no can do, at least on Wizards' site. In d20 Modern it's situational. You can't unless it's Craft...

    IceStorm in Upstate New York

    Yeah, a friend of mine moved down there years ago and he loves it. He was the best DM I've had and one of the most entertaining people to be sitting on the player's side of the table with as well.

    Do Undead Still Have Souls?

    I was thinking about this myself awhile back after fully reading the description of True Resurrection, specifically the line (from the SRD): "The character can revive someone killed by a death effect..." normally no raising someone from a death effect I believe, "...or someone who has been...

    [OT] What's on YOUR Winamp playlist?

    I love Digitally Imported too. I'm having a problem with the machine I'm using at my new job now though. When I try to queue up streaming music like digitallyimported.com or anything from Shoutcast.com Winamp just sits there and won't actually play anything.

    Spellcasters that go OOPS

    We typically encourage him. AOE spells are for use against numbers. Hordes usually consist of weaker creatures which have less hps. Wizard opens with a nuke of some sort. Fighters and rogue move in. Wizard hits the entire melee with another nuke which the fighters soak up easily and the rogue...

    So I was more or less kicked out of my D&D group

    Heh, it sounds like some of you would just despise me. I show up late so frequently that my friends just assume I will be 30 minutes to an hour late. They brought it up with me a long time ago and my response was pretty much that I won't hold it against them if they start without me and that I...

    Where does background goes too far?

    *Pops out of Lurker Space Hiya. My background usually consists of: My character has no family. He was an orphan. The reason he is adventuring is that his only friends are the people who now make up the party. I do not hand the DM leverage against my character at creation. Another reason...

    New Angel tonight (1/15/03)

    This was my favorite as well. I especially liked the little smirk that Connor had on his face when he said it. My only problem is the whole Connor thinking Angel killed Holtz thing. Was it ever established that Connor finally believed Angel didn't do it? I know the kid still has issues and...

    Damage reduction instead of AC? Please Help.

    The campaign is going to be Steampunk inspired by Iron Kingdoms. I almost started drooling looking at some of the stuff in the Monsternomicon, neat stuff to kill PCs! And I'm strictly a player. My DM happened to be there and I kept showing him picture after picture of things that I wanted him...

    Damage reduction instead of AC? Please Help.

    Not at all, I'm sorry if I came off as if I thought you were being anal. I understood what you were trying to do. If nothing else Henry put it here, not me. :) In response to AuraSeer above: Well now you've just made this Rules forum appropriate more or less since you are discussing...

    Damage reduction instead of AC? Please Help.

    Hey what the heck I'll help hijack my own thread, I'm on lunch break now anyway so productivity be damned. I agree, I don't think it really belongs here. I didn't really have a question about rules, it was supposed to be a question to collect book titles where this type of rule existed. Again...
