    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    That.... That is so beautiful, it makes me cry. :( Someday, I'm going to steal that idea. jtb

    what does a CLW potion taste like in your world?

    Gatorade. Red (Fruit Punch?) Gatorade is a CLW. Orange Gatorade is CMW. Lemonade Gatorade is CSW. Blue (Berry Rush?) Gatorade is CCW. Purple (Grape) Gatorade is Regeneration or Heal. Fly is red and has a little bull motif. Cause Red Bull gives you wings. ;)

    Wierdest place you've ever gamed

    I've played in two cars, driving down the 101 highway in california, via walky-talkies. DM and one player in one car, second player in the second car. It was a long drive, and this was an awesome way to break the monotony. jtb

    "Anachronisms" in your game

    I like this one. I have polynesian orcs in an archipelago off the coast of the main continent in my game. Imagine what would have happened if the Vikings had been orcs and raided and settled Polynesia... Orcs in hula skirts sailing tricked-out outrigger longboats, man. boggles the mind.

    Yeah - I have a pony express IMC as well. Along with a movable-type printing press, the Dewey Decimal system, and some other doo-dads.

    Creating Personalities for PCs

    Agreed! As for me, I voted 1, 2, 5, & 6. Though, mostly, it's 5. The idea driving my current character, a cleric, is, "All I really wanted to do was play my mandolin in bars and get laid a lot, but God called me to his service." ;)

    Ways You Simplify Your D&D Game?

    That's a good one. The main "rule" I have is that we assume the characters can make enough money doing little odd jobs around town - teaching music or playing in taverns for the bard, teaching swordplay to spoiled aristrocrats for fighters, etc. - to pay for basic living expenses. Therefore...

    Undead Fey

    Well, to me, the real question here is whether or not the Killoren has a level adjustment, and if so, if part of that level adjustment is based on the fact that they can't be converted by most undead. If so, then I'd say you're kind of risking sticking it to the player, by taking away one of...

    D20 Apocalypse: Other Ways to End the World?

    Let us look to current headlines for an idea, shall we? Two recent headline news items: San Francisco to get stem cell genetic research lab Massive earthquakes rock Northern California, causing tsunami warnings. (Together, they fight crime!)

    [d20] What don't you know? (free pdf books)

    Nope. I ran an analysis of it, with 20000 iterations of it as an automated script, and it came within 1% of being 2/3 winning for switching. I don't know Bayesian Analysis, but emperical results don't lie (in this case, at least). If you're interested, you can try it yourself at...

    Give Favored Soul turning ability: Yes or No?

    Yes and no - remember that most undead are balanced without consideration for turning abilities, since not all parties will have clerics that can turn (or so I've heard...). If that is in fact true, then a party with only a favored soul shouldn't be suffering the hurt too much, really, in a...

    D&D 3.5 weapons and armor in a MySQL database?

    There's a spreadsheet called Timpani, available at http://www.dndtools.com/ that has all that information in one of its worksheets. It would be totally easy to import. jtb

    Happy Birthday, Phil! Out of curiousity, is that one entry per product, or one entry per person? ;) Thanks!

    Mystic Theurge (full 20 progression)

    I would suggest also that the domains only be granted to characters who choose to use the cleric spell list, not druid or other divine. jtb

    Worst...Idea...Ever

    no, but it has exactly the same result as a fear effect, except that it isn't.

    Worst...Idea...Ever

    It's not only weird, it's really inconsistent with all the other fear effects, where some power of yours affects something which then gets a saving throw to see if it runs away or not... In my game, it's basically now just a boosted circle of protection. That rule, and gnomes as bards? Huh?
