    Is the d20 market completely saturated?

    There is a lot of material out there, some of it great, some boring and depending on the game youre running some of its completely useless. Still, its nice to pick through the books and find the odd little gem of a system or idea that can be adapted to suit, which is great. What I am sick of is...

    What D&D 3.5E releases are you most looking forward to?

    I'd pay money to see some poor sod try and salvage the epic level handbook, buggered if I can think of enough house rules to keep bunging up the holes.

    What is the most overused D&D term?

    I think "overpowered" could earn its place there somewhere too. But I voted for 'broken'

    how to make spartan type warriors?

    The spartan Hoplite of around 4-500BC carried a spear that was between 6'6" and 10ft long and had an iron head and a bronze butt-spike that could be used in case the head got snapped off. They where a 1 handed weapon, yeah throw that D&D crap out about spears needing 2 hands ok, they dont really...

    New respect for crossbows

    Ah I dunno if they stopped sending over their criminals to Australia, only a little while ago they sent down their cricket team to visit... And by goodness, they got a slapping like a prison b***h on fresh meat Friday. It felt criminal :D We'd like to play in some World Series stuff with the...

    Illithid Paladin?! Say what?

    Buy a hat of disguise and a ring of non detection, then tell everyone that your really a good paladin. (try not to act real smart though otherwise they may work out that youre not really a paladin) Later on that night tear their frontal lobes out and nick their stuff, theyre high levels so it...

    New respect for crossbows

    I'd always thought the axe would be the weapon of choice for the unhinged who want to go on a rampage, but then again Im not completly crazy in that sense. :D Machette, Have to buy it at a disposals store and like theres enough woodland in most citys that need hacking though so you'll get...

    Weapon vs AC idea. edited. And responds to Reynolds 'called shots rant'

    Ah, its very hard to do much with the D20 system which is why I dont write anything for it myself. It looks simple on paper but with the morass of source materials you have to go through just to make it all mate-up its not worth the effort in my opinion. This is especially true when it comes to...

    New respect for crossbows

    Back to the origional topic, it was a bit of a shock to hear someone had shot two little girls with a xbow of all things, mostly because theyre highly illegal in all Australian states. Though making something illegal dosnt mean it goes away, it just gets harder to obtain. Crossbows are a very...

    What level is your party at right now?

    Sorry to hijack it a bit, I'm really keen to see any other alternatives for 'high level' play people have done Bendris. Shoot me a PM if you manage to work out the formatting and post it here.

    [ot] Dire Squid

    "This animal, armed as it is with the hooks and the beak that it has, not only is colossal in size but is going to be a phenomenal predator and something you are not going to want to meet in the water." Like they thought greenies where going to run out into the ocean and hug one for all the...

    House Rules Suck

    Because I know what I like. If I dont like it, I dont put up with it and work to come up with something more suitable and will be fun for all concearned. ...and its not like any of the D&D's from the first to the current one don't have any problems, if youre honestly that nieve then we should...

    What level is your party at right now?

    Weaner pit of level 1's and 2's in a Slaine game. Drow bashing level 12's in a CotSQ game. Long running level 27's in a decade+ long Greyahwk game. They are all current and I cant pick a favorite.

    Do you find the Mystic Theurge overpowered?

    I think the versitility will be quite good, which may offset some of the problems later on, I'd expect it to fall flat on its arse in epic levels. Still, you'd have to play it for a better idea of what theyre capable of and the choice of diety would factor heavily I think. Apart from that, my...

    Weapon vs AC idea. edited. And responds to Reynolds 'called shots rant'

    Padded armour is relatively resiliant against piercing attacks but it gets ripped to pieces against anyone with a slashing weapon. It may have some nominal effect against bludgeoning, but it is a really awful armour. Leather/Hide type armours dont stop a lot of slashing type damage, but they...
