Just curious how everyone else would rule on this one. First let me set up some brief intro to the situation: I'm running a homebrew campaign and the party happened upon a cult of the Elder Elemental Eye. So they're in the cult's fortress and they get ambushed. The cleric casts wall of stone...

No, they wouldn't stack IMO. Oversized two-weapon fighting allows a character to treat a one-handed melee weapon as if it was a light weapon. The greatsword does not fit this description. The monkey grip feat reduces the penalty for using a weapon of a larger size category at a -2 penalty as...

The players in the game I GM consistently CDG helpless opponents. Generally speaking, most monsters don't CDG. If the PCs are fighting the truly evil then CDG and worse fates can and do happen. The evil cleric/wizard will order a minion to CDG a downed PC and then raise them as undead...

IMC, I roll all treasure randomly from the MIC tables and whatever rolls up, generally goes (I re-roll psionic items as I don't allow psionics IMC). I've never had a single player complain about treasure levels. Nor can I think of a game where ANY player has complained. I've played a dirt...

Anyone who's finished "The Ascendancy of the Last" should probably be able to figure out what the secret race is. ****Spoiler Alert******

If someone does the work (sadly, I am not computer savvy enough to do it myself) I would definitely utilize it. I already own hard copies of a number of the quintessentials and slayers guides and would love access to the ones I never purchased.

I was an avid reader as a kid and had tackled the Hobbit and the LoTR trilogy by second grade and was getting really into Greek and Norse mythology when my parents decided to buy me Pools of Radiance for Christmas one year. I was immediately hooked but didn't know about the table top version...

Oh I certainly can't argue with that. I guess I'm just jealous for having never thought of this when I was a poor college student.

Not to comment on Shieldheart's DMing ability, having never witnessed it, I will refrain from passing judgment, but have DnD players really gotten this lazy? Sure, DMing a game is a lot of work and often quite a number of headaches, but paying someone to do it? What ever happened to a 2 liter...

The best advice I can give is: remember, its a game. A game is only fun if all parties are having fun. For first time dm and player, I'd say start with developing role-playing. Take cues from your son, you know when he's bored, you know when he's really in to it. If he asks to invite a...

Sounds fantastic to me. It'd probably be much easier for both of us if I just gave you my e-mail. Its jim.rossi@gmail.com.

Excellent, core-only while sufficient, always feels a bit stifling. Especially since I have a disgusting amount of 3.5 stuff at the ready. I have the Bo9S, but my former DM didn't allow it and none of the players in my current campaign cared to bother with it (gestalt hack-and-slash meant to...

I finally got the chance to look over the Pathfinder rules. They made some really nice changes, especially with the fighter. I as a DM and player saw the same problem, there wasn't any real reason to stick with a fighter. I created a few fighter only feats to try to correct this with pretty...

Thank you for the head's up on the FLGS. I'll definitely get on top of reading the paizo preview sometime later this week (currently still working on my next adventure in the game I DM). But if you're is still looking for players come August, I'm certainly going to be hunting for a game.

I know of Pathfinder, but haven't really had the chance to sit down and play it. If my memory serves me it's more or less 3.5 OGL and Monte joined their creative team. So although I haven't played it, it definitely has sparked my interest.

In August I'm going to be moving to Columbia, MO. I primarily play 3.5, however I'm also open to earlier editions (I have no interest in 4e). Also, if anyone can give me names of FLGS in that area I'd also appreciate it.

Both New York and Chicago-style pizza are garbage. Sheer utter filth that should only be fed to stray dogs. If you want a true pie, come to New Jersey, home of the tomato pie. And depending on where you are, some areas of the US have a tremendous amount of quality bakeries that can really...

The animated broom from the movie Fantasia. Upon opening the bag, the broom begins filling the room with water. Wherever the party goes it follows them and immediately starts pouring bucket after bucket of water into that space. A collection of women's shoes, all one of the pair...

To avoid the he can't hit us all if we all rush him give him the combat reflexes feat and have him ready an attack when they get within charging distance.

90 points on a failed save and 45 on a passed save. 10d6 (maximized=60) X 1.5 (empowered) = 90. Fireballs do max 1d6 per caster level to a maximum of 10d6.
