    D&D 3E/3.5 Temporary Hit Points under 3.5, not-stacking reference?

    Under 3.0 it was pretty clear that temporary hit points didn't stack. I.e. casting the new spell False Life would only provide the caster with the better result of the two castings, not the additive result of the two castings. However, I can't seem to find the exact page or quote, in either...

    Olaf, soon to be a troll? Great story hour. You have excellent writing and a wonderful group to play with. I am jealous. One quick question, is Olaf married to a waifish witch named Anyanka? With appreciation. Arabesu.

    Arabesu's East meets West Story Hour

    Session 1 (cont): Luckily, Eric had enough foresight to bring torches. With torch in hand, Gilder reluctantly descended the loosely spiraling staircase. At the bottom was a short corridor ending in a door. After inspecting it briefly, he proceeded to solve the lock. THUNK. A seven inch...

    Arabesu's East meets West Story Hour

    The crypt Session 1 (cont): Rain and a chill wind. Gilder wanted a warm bed and a warm meal. He was thinking to himself, “Why is it that any time that dwarves or humans go adventuring they don’t have the common sense to come in from the rain or have a proper meals? They hadn’t even had...

    Arabesu's East meets West Story Hour

    Session 1 (cont) It wasn’t too difficult to convince Gilder and Knom. Both had been looking for work anyway. Eric mentioned that someone named Habrin Sneed was looking for a group of adventurers to retrieve an item of value. Gilder was cautiously interested. Knom was less so. It sounded...

    Arabesu's East meets West Story Hour

    Arabesu's East meets West Story Hour

    I’ve been here a long time. Lurking. Watching as an obscure DnD news site grows to be a community. Watching it as forum after forum joins the message boards. I have argued about rules with Caliban and have cursed him for always being right. I have participated in contests: I wrote...

    Mini Encounter Competition - Voting Over - We have a winner!

    Question about Imp? Hello Archer, I noticed that you had several questions about Dark Valkyrie. I also noticed that you voted for Imp. Got any questions about it? I wrote it. I've also playtested it twice, so if you want any of my meager suggestions I'd be willing to give them. This goes...

    Vanara Shaman miniature?

    I'm currently playing a Vanaran Shaman in my current game. Unfortunately I'm having a doozy of a time finding a suitable miniature. Other players have suggested a mini of a man-ape with spear, but the look on his face is too aggressive. My character is subtle, peaceful, and restrained. A...

    Tower shields

    Dragons. Most of the time tower shields are pretty much useless, but against dragons, they're great. A tower shield provides a cover bonus which give a bonus to reflex saves and stacks with most of other forms of armor which is an added boon. If the dragon is flying, mobility becomes less of...

    Sorcerer's got the Shaft! (reprise)

    I agree to some extent except I'd liken it to the following: There both toolkits. The one gets only a few tools but can carry them all with them. Aka a swiss army knife. The other has the full "snap-on" catalog inventory at home but a really crummy tool belt. Thus she's gotta know what kind...

    Does Caliban live?

    Caliban is AI Caliban is not actually a real person. Its an artificial intelligence created by the Rules board moderators to help maintain the boards. His god like appreciation for the rules is a result of a massive rules database including a text file which includes every word WOTC has every...

    Sherlock Holmes

    What about aristocrat? I believe Holmes was descended from country squires who own a bit a land if I recall... this could be justification for aristocrat I suppose. I must admit I don't recall much about Holmes' upbringing per say, but if your character was a member of the aristocracy then the...
