    Planeshift: The 'Other' Save or Die Spell

    I think you cheated the PC quite a bit there, considering she managed to get into melee range with what is essentially a 'caster', whup it for half its hp's and probably would have proceeded to tear it a new a-hole next round, thats fair enough, casters dont get to live if they stay in melee...

    Are D&D rulebooks stuck in the 70's?

    The fact that the game is moving towards a more 'minature' oriented combat system I dislike greatly. For me, minatures where always part of a tabletop wargame and dont get me wrong, I like minatures Ive got hundreds of the bastards but roleplaying games seem to be slightly more constrictive if...

    Need help! How would YOU find an invisible tower?

    Find one of their lackeys and slap that peon about like a little b:):):)ch until he tells you where his mates are. or Get a set of goggles made with Detect Magic on them and wander about looking for the 'big glowing' source of magical energy. or Planeshift and wander about the ethereal, it...

    Game Balance: possible without magic items?

    The "Slaine" D20 system seems to hold up ok with a low magic environment and the 'wizardly' types are very very much different to what you would be used to in D&D. But like someone else said, if you dont take the nerf bat to the casters then the melee will need reinforcing considerably.

    Is it still "Year of the Drow"?

    They'd be better off replacing it with '10years of Drow' and be honest about it. *bloody drizzits...* How about year of the dwarf! I mean, theyre cranky, live mostly underground, short like to hack things too! :D

    Rogues rule! (warning, kinda long and kinda ranting)

    Or shooting them in the arse when theyre under 30 feet away :) Rogues are pretty easy to rein in if they start whoring it over your bad-guy NPC's, just throw in some monsters that dont care if you critical hit them and it should drag the combat out a lot. Or later on have some of the more...

    Gaming music

    Deadcandance, an Australian lady Lisa Gerrad and an Irish guy Brendan Perry who write and perform a lot of their own music which sometimes borrows heavily from Indian, Irish celtic, Arabic, English folk music and other strange sources in its composition. You'll probably find that they also...

    Free form spellcasting ?

    Mage the Ascention by White Wolf, I guess if you could come up with a way of converting that over to a D20 system it would be good, as for "how" Im not even going to start but it was one of the best free-form systems Ive played.

    [Way OT & possibly NC-17 rated] Can men and women "just be friends"?

    I tend to take people on a case by case basis, it dosnt matter to me what their gender is, maybe Ive just been lucky Ive got a few people I can honestly call good friends that are women. There are common points of intrest between us, things to talk about apart from just sex which dosnt come up...

    Chainmail Bikini: AC or Cha bonus?

    Some years ago I made a chainmail halter top for a friend who was running a fashion show, it covered the upper chest and most of the abdomen, but not much else, it wasnt a bikini as such. Even failed artists like myself have limits of decentcy... actually no I dont thats a complete lie... Im...

    When you find out your the incestuous spawn of Iuz and his mother

    I think in moral dilemmas like this, its time to summon the bard, have a good old fashioned sing-along and try to forget it ever happened. I'm wet and I'm moist So come on let's rejoice In the birds, the bees, the fillies and the colts And the fact that we are all young adults (hi baby, how are...

    Epic Casters, How do you run with the pack?

    Thanks for the advice Kigmatzomat, though I think it is too late really for me to 'retool' the character as Ive been playing it for some months now and gained a few levels since. One thing I have noticed with the advice from people, for what it is worth, is that they are all more or less...

    Epic Casters, How do you run with the pack?

    Oh dont I know it. The character has been in play for the last 11years as a perfectly viable character, then to try something new I play some 3E, transfer her over and it all goes to sh*t. Its not my fault, I took the feats, skills and equipment I thought could as closely match the origional 2E...

    Epic Casters, How do you run with the pack?

    As a 23rd level generalist wiz/2nd fighter with an ECL+2, I just stumble around behind the people that dont suck mooching xp until I can get enough to reserch a couple of epic spells to finally sink home some damage and look less of a gimp. I give up running with the pack, just give the melee...

    Drow as PC

    Ive sort of got a feeling that theyre closer to being somewhere in between ECL1 and ECL2. One day I was thinking about either lowering the ECL to 1 and giving them a few less things or a minor boost and keep them at ECL2. But, Ive got lots of other better things to do at the moment. :) There is...

    Should Some Prestige Classes have Attribute Requirements?

    Depends what you want to flavour your PRC with, I dont really have a problem with it being imposed if its to add character. Say you where building a PRC for something related to feats of strength where a character could lift or carry more than normal, sort of a Hercules type thing (sure, maybe...

    Epic Level Pitfalls? (Your experience)

    Our current crop of epic characters where old, old... actually bloody ancient characters that where brought over from 2E. The 2E to 3E conversion does not work, you do have to rebuild them from scratch and just try to make the abilities of the old character match up with the new, about all you...

    Taking away the shame...of Roleplaying!

    Some people should need a license or something to have kids Merlion, I hope the young fella uses that imagination to good effect it sounds like he'll need it. I dunno, games and roleplaying are just another hobby that keeps my mind active in an otherwise endless cycle of work, bills and day to...
