It has an ASF value because the typical person does not go into combat holding only a shield and no weapon. For light shields and bucklers, merely having it strapped to your arm and not holding anything in your other hand, such as a weapon, scroll, or wand, wouldn't invoke the ASF. However...

When faced with a DM that refuses to run a high-level campaign, go with my motto: A baseball bat always convinces the opposition, one way or the other. Seriously though, if your DM is just not ready to run a campaign at higher levels, sit him/her down and start talking. If the entire group is...

That's exactly right, you have to know what kind of fighter you want to be beforehand. Generally speaking though, a fighter with a high AC will live longer to be customized. As long as you can get your AC high enough to suit yourself, go with whatever weapon(s) you like. My personal favorite...

I'll have the MM out for things that I haven't planned, or if I didn't copy something down that needed to be copied (such as the skills for a particular monster). Generally speaking, I'll write down the attacks/damage, AC (+touch, +flat footed), and HP for a monster before hand. It depends on...

My game indeed shall be played there. Hurray for a D&D game on the D&D Meetup day. Of course, we can always pause it out and do other stuff to make way for the meetup (that is, afterall, the primary focus of the day). O'course, if anybody has a better idea to accomodate a larger group of people...

In my opinion, anything coming from another plane of existance en masse is grounds for a planar invasion. Go with it. If the gate was supposed to have closed, keep the Ogre Mage alive, but have him at the mercy of the Scorpion Men, who are forcing him to keep the gate open so their brethren...

Well, rolling a single Survival check for the party (based off whoever has the highest modifier in it) would be best. Even people that get lost might be able to find their way out, and everybody will eventually not be lost anymore. If they pass, it should take them more time that it would with...

While everybody is focusing on the whole "two sides" deal, you're forgeting that not every plane of existance is aligned. Who is to say then that there can't be neutral echoes? Essentially, break it down like this: Evil Echoes are striving to become as powerful as they can, by slaying the other...

So, as I'm to understand it, you killed off an NPC in your game and didn't have a reason for it before hand? If that's the case, all I can say is: Way to underplan. Well, that aside, you can always say that the NPC was killed in a psionic attack by some creature (that obviously has the...

These are from not only the same campaign, but the same gaming session: DM (me): You're in the foyer of the ruined mansion. Aside from the main entrance you've just entered, there's a portculis blocking the path to the adjoining corridor. PC1: Is it hostile? Me: What..? PC1: The port-thingy...

An intelligent weapon whose special purpose is to Slay Undead, and special purpose power is Slay Living. A trumpet of invisibility. --cursed item-- A +1 Dart of the Berserker. Ring of the Lamb ("But it's still part of the same species, what do you mean it can't charge?!") Gauntlets of Kobold...

Chapter 2: Truly free at last Forgive the lapse, I've been kind of busy. Hope at least somebody is enjoying the story hour. Also, I appologize for the shoddy writing --- I'm not as enthusiastic as writing the SH as I thought I would be, so it's coming out as a shortened summation. In any case...

My sentiments exactly. The entire deal is: Elves are living so long and love the arts and the "subtle" ways of life so much that their "childhood" is longer. Not only that, they still have the maturity level that one would expect. They're more flighty than other races, but unless they've been...

Fewlio, you know that I'm interested in playtesting. My credentials: I've been playing D&D since I got my 3.0 books, which is admittedly only a few years ago. However, I've been immersed in both reading the books since my unlces got me started in an interest with them when I was 5 years old...

With 40,000 gp and nothing to spend it on, I would go around buying myself all kinds of monsters and getting them trained. Aerial mounts. Pets. Bodyguards. For 40,000 gp, you can deck yourself out with your own personal party. Go it up man...you know you want to.

The primitive continent of Kurai has seen but minor scuffles when compared to the more developed lands of Elsewhere; however the up and coming civilization has begun to speed up at a phenominal rate. City states are rising into powerful nations and begining to claim borders, developing disputes...

Points that should be made about Wookies: 1- They're a pacifist race 2- They're (obviously) from the Star Wars universe 3- They still have free will Points that should be made about THIS Wookie: 1- He's not really a Wookie, as there are no "Wookies" due to this being a D&D campaign. It likely...

Heh. Well I won't embarass you too much for missing that it was me, but I will point out that my name is in your sig. ~.^ Aside from that, anybody that wants to see the Wookie running around with a Pixie, a Genasi, and a Human Ranger with a green tongue and blue piss as they embark on a quest...

Whatever floats your boat.

You could call them Wookies, it's not really a problem. But it's like naming a D&D PC Luke Skywalker, there's just something divnely wrong with it.
