Bodaks. Waaaay tougher than their CR would have you believe. If you think having to make a "save or die" every round is tough, think about the poor guy it fixes it's gaze on...s/he has to save twice every round or die. :eek: When these things show up, someone is toast.

I wholeheartedly second that. :cool: Beyond the awesome Sheild Other, this guy can can heal you, buff you, fight for you, use protection spells on you, divine for you, turn undead for you, cure you, remove curses for you, dispel magic for you, counterspell for you, etc, etc, etc... If I...

Im curious how it goes for you since I live in Warwick, RI and have been thinking about getting it done myself. Good luck!

Welcome to the boards, Buldan. And thanks for saying so succinctly what took me a couple of long posts to do. (Edit: I just noticed that you are not exactly new to the boards, you just chose to wait until now to make your first post! Congrats.)

So where does that leave me? Right. Back to not subscribing again. I'm saying I want to trust Dragon and turn to them. Your saying don't bother. I thought we were looking for ways to improve the magazine here.

Well, for me, the void that would be filled is knowing that the Dragon review I was reading has a sort of official stamp of approval to it. I would like to think, hopefully correctly, that when an article in Dragon tells me that a certain reviewed PrC or feat is well balanced, that it truly...

Disclaimer: I have not read all 16 pages (!) of this so if the following suggestions have already been made, simply add my voice to theirs. I no longer subscribe. Instead if I see an interesting Dragon magazine in a magazine rack, I buy it. But I don’t necessarily seek it out because I have...

Right. We get enough stereotyping in-game with the concept of classes. :) Also, I would embrace this whole G/N/S thing if more people could agree on what it all actually means. From reading this thread, it looks like they don't. :confused:

Since I keep hijacking this thread on a tangent I think it only proper that I contribute something to the topic at hand, so here it is: Our group usually does pretty much the same thing with all RP skills that Narfellus described above. (i.e. a bonus or penalty to the skill roll for active...

Very very cool. I never did like how magic items are so widespread in 3E. The rules themselves assume they are plentiful and readily available when determining Challenge Ratings. Your campaign makes them the rare and unique items I think they should be. I suppose though, that you have to put...

Thank you kindly. I'm off... If I don't respond anytime soon, it's probably because #1, I am at work and #2, Tales of Wyre has me engrossed. Say, #1 and #2 are a bad combination, no? :uhoh:

Forgive my ignorance, but I keep reading about all these people stealing this and that idea from this "Sepulchrave" person. Pray tell, where can I find this fountain of original thinking who seems to be single-handedly rewriting the game, or at least how the game is expressed?

You know, when I read all that my first thought was "this is not D&D anymore". But after thinking about it I now say "Why NOT"? As a DM, and even as a player, I like how your house rules completely remove the most tedious aspect of the game, the math and number crunching. In the long run...

And... Thanks guys, this is exactly what I was trying to convey in my post about the high level fighters shooting arrows at a barn. The rules, being designed for a game, simplify and systemize things for us but don't necessarily represent exactly what the in-game characters experience in the...

Fascinating. Almost hard to imagine in our gaming circle. I would very much like to be fly on the wall at one of your games, just for what I am sure would be the sheer "alieness" of it.

Oh man, I really hope the game rules don't make THAT big an imprint on the game world. I much prefer to assume that most rules are rather an abstract concept that are used to define generalities. I mean, come on, all "16th level dudes" are gonna put 4 arrows into the barn every 6 seconds...

1) Grey Hawk (real name Loren Elissar) - High level elf Fighter/Magic-User character in 1E who once during a fight with Orcus set up a staight 50/50 situation of killing Orcus.. or he himself dying. The DM made the roll for all to see, and Grey Hawk won. 2) Larcen Silvaborn - 2E elven...

I once had a wizard named Metamucil. His familiar was Ex-Lax. Hey, I still say it SOUNDS like a good wizard and familiar name, no? But the funniest name I ever heard was from a friend of ours who hadn't played for years. When asked what his barbarian's name was he deadpanned: "I am F#%. Of...

You know, this kind of thing reminds how I really wouldn't want my adventuring cleric's job. :confused:

Funny you should say that, I just bought the "d20 Toolbox" book at Borders yesterday. I actually never heard of it til then and I really like the idea of the book; no rules, all charts. Looks a lot like what your describing. I am pretty sure I'll get some use of it the next time I DM.
