Revenge has always been the prime motivator for ultra cool PC's that kick arse. Play a cleric, I think one of the largest amounts of hate I ever got was playing a cleric. Wasnt even a very fancy cleric or optimised and as another BBEG is down to its last 10hps, it was hilarous to hear the...

Wouldnt know, I dont attend those events, though I have made armour and weapons for a metal weapons society in my country and those guys are bloody nuts. :D In any case with re-enactments, (which I dont bother with much) its just a modern day interpretation by some very not ancient people. While...

I think its somewhat unfair to say that the roman leigonaire was any 'less' of a fighter than his barbarian counterpart, from a romantic point of veiw he may have admired and respected his enemies freedom, wildness and ferocity. But it ends at the battlefield. A roman soldier was a professional...

Play whatever makes you happy I guess. For me, D20 is the best level based game system out there at the moment so its a little easier to live with than most of them. However its not been long since we've begun to heavily house rule our games of DnD to make it- Scale properly Remove cheesiness...

I'd just say armourer, when you put together a suit of plate, chainmail or a combo of both there is a considerable amount of support fabric underneath. With the case of chain its just a leather quilted vest to help absorb blows. With plate its the quilted vest plus a large amount of leather to...

None, lightbulb changing is a CC skill that will have to wait until 4th edition. In the meantime Wotc will happily offer to screw you and your group with a free online addendum plus disclaimer to disprove the lightbulb exists and if it did exist in your game it must be TSR's fault and isnt a...

Few ways of looking at this 1: Yes 2: No 3: Maybe, if the fortification is on a suit of armour and not a shield/bracers 4: Maybe, the vorpal weapon is higher as it costs more than heavy fortification 5: Maybe, the armour fills a slot, a weapon dosnt, armour wins 6: No, theres enough insta-kill...

olde Greyhawk epic party This ones been running almost 11-12 years or so The dirty 3 Saint Granite, LG Dwarf fighter 5, Cleric 28, Saint Used to own an axe of the dwarvish lords but either broke or lost it some time ago. I think he's got an epic +lots battleaxe, dwarven thrower warhammer +...

Cleavage was also another old fav for turning spells into something probably at best immature and at worst screaming purile laughter. I think its a fair few years to the day when someone was waffling about archtypical male wizards wearing full length dresses and someone, I think it was one of...

Yeah we've got a name for the regular CN players in the group, "Chaotic Stupid", I mean, they might not have any idea of what the 'Nuetral' part entails but they have the Chaotic and extreamly stupid parts down pat so much anymore I dont think the book version of CN still stands as being a guide...

WoTC has been re-named to Clerics of The Coast by our group since 3.5, mostly because playing a wizard just sucks arse 90% of the time and clerics dont seem to die despite how much gold you can drop on one. (hmmm sort of like my gold visa card that owes a lot of its current violated state to the...

Unearthed Arcana, didnt grab me as much as I thought it would, sort of reminded me a bit too much of FASA's Earthdawn, which I didnt like. Thats not to say theres anything wrong with it as a game, its just not my cup of tea. Complete Warrior, I'd highly recommend this one. Some of its...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! NNnhgnh! *dribble* The great satan has arisen! Flee for your lives!

Run like a b**ch, your out of spells and it sounds like youre out of luck. Have the rat hang back and see what/where youre party ends up after the door is kicked in. If they get splattered then thats pretty bad but youre not in any position to really stop them getting pasted anyway. If they get...

Ive used sandblasters for both pottery and car respraying and I cant really say that the gun-type with high pressure water would be a good way of offing anyone, unless they hold really still and you have a few hours to spare. It will be delightfully painful though. Yes, grains of sand at high...

I think if you did a fair bit of work to the module before its run your PC's might like you a bit more, add a few secondary plots, loose a few templated monsters and add critters that are interesting and it could be a good module. Run it straight from the book though and its a brainless...

Most of our stuff these days for our group has little to do with dungeons and seems to involve a lot of puzzle solving and things which are shaping the world into something else. After over a decade of playing together and doing... 'Kick in the door, kill the orc, rob him blind' (Good aligned...

Just a quick post before I pass out from sleep deprivation. I like the idea of a phallanx being treated as one big animal actually, for large scale combat in battles between armies. Think Ive got an old 2E mass battles book somewhere that has a similar rule in it for that. The Hoplite of...

So thats what we call people who we dont agree with? Dont take the moral high ground here mate, its the last bastion of the damned and self rightous, especially after you've fired off the first shots. Im happy to walk away from this right here and let it die. But you better have a good hard...

Having memories of hitting patches of prickly pears when riding a motorcycle though them at high speed... A were-plant also has darkvision 60 ft. Tremor sense I reckon. Ok, here's my first stab at making a viable were-cactus. I think Im all punned out for one morning. I'll be back later to...
