WoTC just seem to be trying to make the system as bullet-proof as they can, how successful remains to be seen. The only problem most people have is that they are over-doing some things that 'can' be abused by the lowest common denominator of gamers. For a lot of us, we see the loophole, area of...

Its a pretty poor excuse for a module in my opinion, just a meatgrinder really. Pick a spot on the FR map at random and go visit that instead :D

Impale him on a large spike in your front yard as a warning to other munchkins, right near the letter box. (and its reputed to keep away marauding turkish armies too.)

Ive noticed much the same thing you have with melee, to be honest, its all about hitpoint attrition and saving throws vs insta-death. Armour, who cares it dosnt scale vs BAB Strength, is nice but a few items or a friendly buff here and there will up it. Constitution: This is where its at...

I think it could use a little boosting myself, has been a certain favorite 9th for a long time. Think in 8 years of playing with one character that uses it a lot (1-2 an adventure over the last 8yrs I can remember) its disintergrated 2 people in that time. The 20 has come up quite a few times...

Theres a dwarf in our group who has a helm of underwater action since he was about level 6, after a particually nasty accident on a boat one day. 22 levels and 11years later that item is still on his character sheet :) The most recent 'nasty' swim check was our half celestial cleric Thomas we...

Transmutation has a lot of nice stuff in it that is somewhat 'multi-functional' and theres plenty of it at each level. Load up on a bit of Abjuration as well every level, lots of good things in there you can protect yourself with. Divination is also an area you shouldnt neglect, or at worst get...

Cheers, couldnt remember if they could hover or not. Hmm, "Flyby Attack" here I come... :D

The internet is fraught with people who act impulsively and on emotion, its much like road rage. People cant see another person's body language and get angry at an inanimate object they see in front of them. Just watch how people treat other pedestrians in a que as say compared to how motorists...

Having ruined myself watching the 1'st one on cable a few months ago Im hardly going to be inflicting unessary pain on myself a second time. Sure, since LotR the bar may have been raised. Problem is, some fool gets a budget, forgets the bar and goes onto make a crock of utter crap regardless of...

You might want to compare them to a flying mammal, a bat. They tend to have a wingspan of about 1-6, drawing on my vague knowldge of that stupid measurement system... for every 1ft of body length theres about 6ft of wingspan. A fruitbat that lives in Indonesia has a wingspan of 6ft across and...

Dont forget to give PC's xp for forming their characters personalities around events in a campain as well, plus giving awards to those who play the more rigid thinking characters that resist any temptations to alter their characters personality detrimentally.

Half Orc/Half drow? o_0 Im still wondering what happened to the 'Noble and clever but very evil' race of dark elves from the old days, they seem to have lost something along the way. Mostly it was their sense of being a master race but they seem to get portrayed an awful lot in recent modules...

The nightmare that was last weekend. We died a lot, unlucky dice rolls, retarded bash-fest of a module called CoTSQ and a few random encounters tore us to to bits. I think at last count there is 1 sole origional party member left, a paladin, which lives up to their usual standards of being...

I never saw a real problem with them in the first case.

Problem with Mr Half Elf is that he hasnt got anything that someone else has and what he has, someone else can do better.

Bard? So we've got midgets that flog stuff and bearded midgets with axes and big-nose midgets with guitars? Oh well, guess when you Stone to Flesh them they'll be rockin it up around the wizards garden and make it look pretty. Theres a plot hook for you starvin GM's, the "Garden Gnome...

I have vague memories of a 2nd ed Wild mage with one, it was like travelling with a lunatic armed with a Nerf Bat that had an underslung tac nuke launcher. Sometimes the enemy would die, sometimes they'd get hardcore and sometimes if we'd be real lucky he wouldnt roll a 1 and brew up a few...

Sorcs do very well in games where there isnt a lot of time to prepare and they have to do things at a rushed pace, wizards only really do ok when they have a little time to research. As for spell selection, I play a high level generalist wiz and have done for about the last 10 years, about the...
