    Damage reduction instead of AC? Please Help.

    Nope. We aren't so interested in house rules as I mentioned, nor are we wanting to change how things work in 3E. We aren't playing 3E D&D, we are playing d20. I can understand there being some misunderstanding though. The examples of what we were thinking about are just ideas we were coming...

    Damage reduction instead of AC? Please Help.

    *sigh* So no resource advice Henry? Oh and now I have Herman's Hermits singing in my head over and over and over.

    Damage reduction instead of AC? Please Help.

    Hey all, Okay here's the situation. We're going to be starting a new campaign this weekend. Something we have been discussing is using certain armor bonuses to provide damage resistance rather than AC. For example armor, shield, natural armor, and armor enhancement bonuses may provide damage...

    [OT] Are you being tracked online?

    Heh, Bonzai Buddy. Yeah we had a run in with that. Our intern thought it was cute an installed it on her machine there at work. We (the rest of the development team) didn't know what she had done until we started to hear the cursing. She got sick of that purple monkey and decided to try...

    Are hobby shops like porn shops?

    Yeah, you are almost guaranteed to have a higher percentage of girl gamers considering the college age gal to guy ratio in that town is 3 to 1. You have three colleges all within walking distance of each other, one of which is almost a completely all girl's school. It's not technically an all...

    Are hobby shops like porn shops?

    Ah yes the Olde Un Theatre. Definately saw some funny stuff in there. My favorite was the extremely uptight, nervous, and uncomfortable looking couple with huge armloads of stuff at 2am. :) Oh and what's the name of the new gaming shop out there? It must have opened after I graduated back...

    Weirdness at the Dollar store

    Delurking.... This isn't what you are talking about is it? Doesn't sound exactly like what you were talking about, but it does have five eyes and is pre-historic.

    [OT] Where to go in the USA?

    Hey another St. Louisian, didn't realize there were any others that posted here. Just on the off chance you do come through St. Louis on your trek across the states, the Indian Mounds are in Cahokia to be more specific. The "East Side" is where the strip clubs are. Also you probably want to...

    [OT] Why are so many Americans "overweight"

    I do have to say that is one thing that drove me nuts about my last job. I did a good amount of work that involved our European offices. Programming support for them and what not. It seemed like half the time I needed information from the standard contact in whatever country, they were off on...

    [OT] Why are so many Americans "overweight"

    True...and no thank you. My wife is a brunette. Never was fond of blondes myself. Don't those poor girls know what kind of damage they are doing to their hair?

    [OT] Why are so many Americans "overweight"

    You can get it in either a 20 oz or a 1 liter. I have a 1 liter of the new Pepsi Blue right here with me now. :) Pepsi Blue is a blueberry flavored caffinated non-cola soda btw. What I love is that it's cheaper to buy a fountain soda rather than a bottled one. It's $1.09 for a 20 oz bottle...

    [OT] Why are so many Americans "overweight"

    I don't know anything about that, not saying you're wrong though. I do believe it has something to do with such a large portion of the up and coming female population developing at such an alarming rate. Frankly I don't remember girls developing breasts that are occasionally almost the size of...

    [OT] Finally Employed!!!

    Congratulations on the job! :) I'm still in the unemployed catagory myself. Lost my job back in October when my company got bought out and my position was "consolidated." It was a sweet deal too. Great boss, nice pay, great co-workers, fresh made food and a stir fry chef. Best things...

    Vin Diesel plays D&D

    I disagree with a bit of this. I think Diesel is better than Arnold was when he was Diesel's point in his career and that Diesel is on par with Bruce respectively. Arnold has since branched out and become a much better actor and added some intentional humor to his style. I don't know who the...

    ...the REST of our gaming groups

    I only own the DMG, PHB, MotP, and FR. I used to own the Psionics HB up until last night. I had lent it to my DM who owns, or rather owned, everything out there by WoTC, other than the Psionics book and FR, plus quite a lot of stuff by other d20 publishers. Apparently he was in a hurry to...

    How to punish stealing PC's?

    Have the party ambushed by the dwarf and his own crew. Have the dwarf's party beat the PCs into unconciousness. Play the combat out so that the PCs don't immediately feel railroaded, even though the thief did steal from an 8th level NPC. Maybe throw in a sleep spell or two to put the party...

    [OT] Latest Episode of Angel (SPOILERS)

    Why did Angel start smothering Wesley with a pillow? Well because it's a TV show and when you want to kill someone who's laying in a hospital bed in a TV show you use a pillow of course. It was either that or inject some suspicious fluid into his IV drip. There are certain traditions to...

    [OT CRPG] Dungeon Siege

    Swamp witches...no good. Much pain. My first encounter with these little lovelies had already gone on about 5 minutes before I realized what they were up to. I also just want to know what sadist desided to give goblins the mechanical knowledge of gnomes. I'm dealing with these guys now...
