IMC, ( Well, in my last campaign, my new one is going to be low magic ) there was really only 1 place to 'buy' real magic items. The largest city in the kingdom housed a magic school/guild. And this guild, through manipulation of the local leader, had law passed prohibiting the trade of magical...

I always like to use the example of two wrestlers. Standing in the ring, circling each other, moving through each other's threatened area to try to provoke an AoO. First one to take the AoO gets grappled by the other... Standard, good tactic.

Well, it has gotten 4 so far... Adapted Screenplay Director Supporting Actor: Ian McKellen and Best Film --Vernon Putman --Arkham : The Blackened Hatter ( blackenedhatter@hotmail.com )

Personally, I despise the garrote rules from Song and MC, I allow, as a grapple action, a choke hold, a garrote adds +4 to the check when the opponent tries to escape the grapple. But instead of damage, it uses the suffocation rules in the DMG. If the character is surprising their target, then...

A Druid's sickle or scimitar, that when it hits and spills blood, the grass, trees, other plant life about begins to bloom and grow. A spiked chain that, when rattled, causes all foes that fail a will save to be 'shaken'. A whip which removes someone's belt as a touch attack. :-) A greatsword...

In previous games I've done: - 4d6 drop lowest, arrange. Best of 10 sets. - Default Array: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. But that was for a Con game... - 28 Point buy In my next game, it is going to be epic stats, but very, very low magic. 48 point buy, if you want to try rolling 5d6 drop 2 lowest...

I'm sorry, but just because a character generally tries to do the right thing and help people does _NOT_ mean that he is "sworn to protect" anyone at all, let alone a bunch of thugs who just tried to kill them. Being good does not necessitate protecting anything. Being good certainly does not...

One Word: Bonsai! Let the dryad carry her tree around with her!

I am so there.... I think I got here early enough....

My fantasy addiction started off with the Rankin/Bass movies, Last Unicorn, Hobbit, and Return of the King. After that I read the Sword of Shannara, some E.A.Poe. More movies: Labyrinth, the Dark Crystal, Willow, Clash of the Titans. Then more books: LotR, the Guardians of the Flame series by...

A Sure Striking weapon. Counts as a +5 weapon against Damage Reduction ( aka Stoneskin ). 2-ball bolos to auto-trip and most likely auto-grapple spellcasters. Quickdraw to switch between whatever weapon is most useful for the current moment. How about a +1 Sure Striking, Returning, Distance...

I renamed them Battle Mages, as all they are really used for is nuclear launch platforms... I am using Psions as the intuitive, inherently magical casters...

IMC, I use all of the above. I've had one player each, throughout various games, take MC's ranger, the PHB ranger, and an alt.ranger... None seemed excessively weak or really too strong...

Fireball. It is the most used ranged weapon in the group. ( Well, was. My new game hasn't started yet, and it won't be available for a while yet. )

Well, I've got a prestige class that lets you whisper verbal components... But other than a class ability or feat, I wouldn't allow it.

Nets and Bolos! Drop them with a bolo ( Touch attack, automatic trip... ) then drop a net on them while attacking from reach with longspears...

Taking a cue from a certain movie with muppets... Have a huge flint stone. The fighters take turns hitting it. Whoever gets the biggest sparks/chunks taken out in a couple shots wins.

Black turtleneck, black jeans, and boots. Just my normal, every day garb...

For Wonderous Items, form must follow Function, for the most part. i.e. Things that make you fly need wings, or be a carpet, or broom, or other flying-style shape. ( Personally I think they should have made Forge Ring as Craft Jewelry instead, so that it could cover Amulets and such which seem...

You need an 'other' choice up there. In my games we've had a goblin, a drow, a half-dragon, and a catfolk type...
