All right, Alzrius, calm down. Take a deep breath. First, it's a joke. Second, I despise 4th edition. I'm revising dragons to be more compatible with E6/E8, and they need some serious work in that department.

That's right. Just to prove how ridiculously over-powered dragons are in 3.5, I'm going to compare a baby dragon (wyrmling) to a cat. A common cat. For purposes of this comparison, I'll use a Black dragon, since their wyrmlings are size tiny. The cat is size tiny. A wyrmling black dragon is...

I can't help but think taking away some of their spellcaster progression would also make a lot more sense, and would go a long way towards toning them down. Maybe set the maximum dragon caster level to something like 2 higher than what mortals can achieve. It would still give dragons an edge...

I'm currently running an E8 (E6 variant up to 8th level) and I'm curious how others who have ran E6 or E8 deal with dragons. Do you change them at all? My concern is that, left unchanged, a great wyrm dragon would be completely, and utterly unstoppable in the D&D world, when even the most...

There's a very obvious meta-game reason for this. That's not what the game is for. You have to trace D&D back to its roots - a role-playing variation on a wargame simulation. All the original spells simulated things like musket fire and cannon fire, and other various and sundry ways to blow...

*sigh* Leave it to a bunch of D&D geeks to turn a perfectly awesome 4e-bashing thread into a debate about the abstraction of hit points. :erm:

The choice seems pretty clear to me. One is a PC class, and the other is a shade of red. I don't even know how you'd role-play rouge.

I love it. What a gamer. You go to Tampa, and you look for game stores. Go to the Salvador Dali museum, instead.

I filled it out. Also, you fail at making surveys.

That would have been a wonderful move, unfortunately, I don't think the Epic level handbook sold very well for 3e, and I suspect they wanted to avoid a repeat of that.

I think it was probably a natural extension of the idea of people "reading other people's minds" and use telepathy and mind-control, and having out of body experiences - this kind of stuff. Originally, I think you could get "wild talents" and not everyone had them - yes, a way to make certain...

I'm new to my current RL group. I have no idea how long they've been together. I've been with them for a year. I think they've been together for quite a while, though. But they only meet once a month, so they're not the most consistent gamers. I have no idea what their ages are. So, I'll...

It's too much. It's excessive. It's unnecessary.

I've basically felt this way for years now. With just 3 core rulebooks, I've already got more campaign ideas than I could ever possibly run in a lifetime. I never figured out why people needs a stack of extra rule books. Never figured it out.

I have what I want from Necromancer Games - support for "old school" style sandbox gaming. WoTC started out being what I wanted with 3.0. Splat books were nice, and I like having options, so long as they are sane and reasonable. Then WoTC started putting out things like Warlocks, Battle...

Either, really. I don't care.

I was kind of underwhelmed by the Al-Qadim boxed sets. Lands of Fate was good, and the original core book was good. The rest were meh, IMHO. I sold most of them on eBay a few years ago.

First, players in my PbP on CircvsMaximvs.com need to leave, especially you, WayneLigon. So, I'm looking for some ideas on what some paladin-specific magic items might do. Backstory: A fighter in in my campaign became the recipient of a sword and chainmail. These were accompanied with a...

Nearly any actual advice I could give you would probably come across as sexist, and/or misogynistic. That said, just ask yourself, "What would a woman do in this situation?" and if you can answer that, you should be able to pull it off ok.

I assume you're referring to the maps as numbered in the Wilderlands boxed set by Necromancer Games? Because the original map numbering was different. The only one I'm really familiar with is the Elphand Lands, since that's where my campaign occurs. Damkina is sited as the population center...
