    no cleric? (my players stay out)

    Sometimes its just better to let natural selection work its way and inevitably someone will die, then they'll be wondering why no one made up a cleric. What you should encourage is to get the PC's to make up a 'Party' which is balanced rather than throw the work back onto you the GM to worry...

    Half Treant, the Treeman

    Yep. page 155 of the ELHB will sort you out. After reaching level 21, including your ECL, then youre an epic beastie. Apart from that I like the treeman as an idea. However Im sure theres a reason why druids ban drinking... "You know Barry the Heirophant?" "Yep" "Well he got drunk last...

    101 signs that your kid wouldn't game if their life depended on it.

    41: They just dont seem to understand when you sell their little brother down the pub to some guy called Habib, to finance buying 3.5D&D hardcovers.

    [ELH] Epic level Prismatic spells: ???

    Yep sometimes thats the only way you can do it, its not a very good system (imo its sh*te) and very rigid unless your GM can work it into their game without too many bugs. What your better off doing is just trying to modify the existing seeds to come up with somethng interesting rather than...

    [OT] How much protein is in Tuna water?

    Probably not a lot of protein in it, most of the protein is in the meat itself and the water is probably a mix of brine and other oils. You could mix in a little just so its got the smell of tuna on it and strain out any lumps. Ask your vet though, tuna is a very high protein meat (body builders...

    Chicken Familiar?!

    Heh, yeah and you should see what my in-game wizard would eat. Basically damn near anything that will provide nutrition and isnt poisonous, though there are still arguments about eating elves and stuff even though it isnt what 'nice folks do'. I blame its upbringing... and the fact I dont like...

    3rd edition promotes the imagination...

    Yep, D&D finally caught up with all those other game companies that 10-15years ago had imersive, equal and flexible character development. Its still lacking a little I feel in spontanaity when running, seems a case of more book keeping and metagaming that everything has to be so very...

    Sigh... another d20 character...

    Just jot down a basic idea for a character, so maybe just pick a base class you like and let the ensuing campaign mold the rest of your career. And maybe, just maybe dear Delemental you will stop hearing the screaming of the metagamers when you close your eyes chanting 'gimp, gimp!, GIMP!'

    Chicken Familiar?!

    Maybe up his movement rate a little? Those little bastards sure can run when they want too, apart from that he gets free eggs :D

    Games Workshop and Roleplaying

    Yeah we tried it out in a few settings, the WHFRP was quite easy to just use as a 40k-Necromunda setting if you just took the equipment out of the boardgames and stuck a pricetag on it. They could have done a lot more with it in my opinion, the fantasy and 40k environments where really good and...

    Solo Adventuring: Any Ideas?

    I always used to like doing the PC-GM thing as a sort of co-adventure where you play a main NPC 'buddy' kind of character to compliment the PC. Nice thing about that is you can switch roles every 2nd week where the other guy GM's and play your NPC as a main character. Havent done it for ages...

    Fiend Folio contents

    I just moved recently and found a copy of my origional Fiend Folio with the Githyanki I think was on the front cover, it was actually in pretty good nick considering its older than some of the people I've played with sometimes :) Still, it was a handy Character-Bashing implement back in its...

    How did D&D survive its early years?

    Step 1 Give PC a name, sex, race, class and some physical features. Step 2 Roll dice, get excited when you get an 18, cry when you get a 5 and squish them in to make up class pre-reqs. Roll hps, cry a bit. Step3 The bit that takes the longest, usually on a seperate bit of paper so you can reuse...

    male playing female PC

    Im of much the same opinion as Brown ^ Mixed gaming group, aged mid20's to early 30's, dont care what you play as long as you play it well. Over the years Ive played with a lot of girls who would trot out a male character and no one really thought twice to be honest about them doing it. Small...

    You must whip it...whip it good

    Yeah, Im not so sure about the subdual damage either, especially if it hits a face and they can cut flesh pretty easily too. I guess if you wanted some really greivous maiming the good ol cat o nine tails with metal bits on the end would hurt a lot.

    Beards on dwarven women, yes or no?

    I thought Dopey burnt his off in a crack pipe accident or am I thinking of something else?... erm anyway. Yep, dwarf wimmen have beards, I always envisioned the scraggly Grandma beard thats just gotten out of control or the 'bum fluff' fine coating. /mental note, sell wax to dwarven empire...
