    When is a Paladin better to have in a fight than a Fighter?

    One of my mates plays a paladin in our good vs evil campaign, and he is a pretty mena power gamer, so he took all feats that geared him up to hell on wheels. When he goes against any evil creature (which, of course, is most of them), he lays on the Divine Smite, Divine Grace, Power Attack, and...

    Pesky little Balor

    While I'm generally in agreement with all those who said "Goodbye, hope you enjoy the afterlife", here's some helpful thoughts. Find a sage who can tell you everything there is to know about Balor's. The types of spells they use, the types of attack they prefer, the vanities they are prone too...

    D&D 3.x Best way to implement these in strict 3.5 rules?

    Well, for the ring, I would suggest that it is Charm [Mind-Affecting] and I would just use Charm Person as the "base spell". It appears that it would work on multiple people (say, a group of passing guards, or in your example, the rest of the kitchen staff would have to think I was also a cook...

    How Many PDF Products Have You Bought?

    Several Dozen. For some things, I prefer books, but mostly I prefer pdf's. Easy to move around from home to work or whereever we are playing, easy to extract the content you want, inexpensive, and if you do your homework, it's not hard to find good quality. I like everthing I've bought from...

    Invasion of the 5-10 page PDFs . . .

    I can't answer the why, but I can speak to the market niche as a consumer... If I want something crunchy, I want something crunchy. I bought A Dozen Necromantic Devices recently, because it fits my campaign and I know RoninArts does a nice job (I own numerous products). I did not want to read...

    DriveThru Reviews Please

    Some caveats: 1. I have mostly switched to buying only electronic product for DND goods. Then, I can just drag my laptop around instead of an ever growing bag of books. 2. I don't have a pre-existing problem or much interaction with DRM. Ok, so I bought Necromancer Games Tome of Horrors II...

    Published Adventures and You

    I use quite a few modules from Dungeon, WotC web, and regular purchased. I blend them in with ideas and stories I've created myself. I might take a module, use the statted monsters and maps, but create a diferent reason entirely for being there and what the goal is. I also agree that dungeon...

    What are the better 3rd-party D&D supplements?

    I've enjoyed Everyone Else, Book of Eldritch Might I, II, II and Book of Hallowed Might II, all .pdf. Someone else mentioned DarkFuries maps series, and I have to second that. Good maps you can use at the drop of a hat. I also just spent a lot of time with Crimson Contacts, which I thought was...

    Programs to organize campaigns

    No disrespect inteded, but I tried to use DM's Familiar to organize my campaign, and I was pretty disappointed. While I'm sure it has many other cool features, this one worked out poorly me. I spent some time with Roleplaying Master's tree-view, and that was a little better, but not what I...

    Help me about Expanded Psionics Handbook

    IIRC, its pretty much tied to using either a certain powers or certain feats. One of the things it does that makes a psion different from a wizard, for example, is a wizard can stack metamagic feats on top of each other to obtain a high level effect from a low level spell. While augmenting does...

    DMs only: Stop me from killing off all my players

    Well, if you've already given them clues, I don't really think you can stop them. That being said, my PCs have surprised me on more than one occassion with cleverness, luck, and good tactics in battles where I figured they were going to die for sure. Let 'em run the way they want. If they all...

    Help me about Expanded Psionics Handbook

    Psionic Focus is Concentration based and it is easy to get "focused". It does not cost money. Once your focus is lost (usually the consequence of using some feats or powers), you need to get refocused to use another power or feat that requires a focus. If in combat, that might be difficult, or...

    Book of Hallowed Might II, who has it?

    Just picked up the pdf, my first impressions are very positive. I was a pretty big fan of the other hallowed and eldritch books, and there is no reason to disappoint. Plus, it comes out right when I am planning a "seer/prophet" type character, so I hope to use some of the dream interpetation...

    Expanded Psionics Handbook: Is it good?

    Posted as in have Enworld put it on its downloads page? Cause that would be quite helpful. :D I'm already struggling with planning my powers without an electronic resource.

    Expanded Psionics Handbook: Is it good?

    Wizards, scmizards I may never play a wizard again. I love the new book, it fixes numerous issues with the old system that I thought made it almost unplayable. I am a little worried that the new system goes too far the other way (now psions are overpowered), but I'll be drawing one up for my...

    Confessions of a Killer DM

    Killer DM? My players die all the time. We're running a now high level religious crusade camapign. The whole lot of them are LG, half are paladins, and they are all prepared to give their lives to serve the cause (prevent Orcus from taking over the Forgotten Realms, heh heh heh). We just brought...

    The Culture of Third Edition- Good or Bad?

    Psion has made the point I wanted to make. Thank you kindly. As for DM's resticting options, as long as everything is made clear up front, there should be no problems. Now, if I've built a character with the intention of multi-classing as a wizard at 6th with my dwarf, and THEN my DM tells me...

    How Good Are These PDFs?

    I bought all of these as well, except for Elements of Magic. I also picked up Wild Spellcraft, Arcane Strife, and Deadly Games. Deadly Games did not do much for me, so I say skip that one. Other than that, they were all pretty cool, especially for the price.
