I would have to agree with this. The ranger could be getting creamed for any number of different reasons and changing his crunch is probably the worst solution and only to be used as a last resort. In my group, our party tends to have 3-5 characters with one or two heavy hitters and one or two...

I haven't seen other reviews posted on this site yet but I do take an interest in them generally. I did not really try to pick apart your grammar but nothing jumped out at me; that's good. It was an easy flowing read and you didn't slip into any confusing or misleading sentences; again, very...

[That kind of depth and history cannot be written for a new character starting at higher levels. Perhaps you'd get close to that if you started at 3rd or so and went up to 20th - but even then, there's tons of stories in those first few levels. I beg to differ. I've had to create higher level...

Hi there. I've lurked a bit in the past, posted a wee bit as you can see... Truth be told, I'm rediscovering ENworld and these boards after a long hiatus. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my stale old account survived. :)

Old timer eh? I have to admit that I am definitely a rookie on the boards and find it difficult to visit regularly. But as far as being an old timer, I'm guessing you never played the game in the days of the little orange and blue booklets that preceeded the Advanced Rules, like this old fart. :(

I know there is a place for direct interaction with gods in the game but I'm one of those people that believes gods are best when they don't even have stats for combat etc. I like the game best when the omnipotence of gods is complete and absolute and the only way to harm them is by acting...

From what I can see here everybody seems to be of roughly the same mind on this matter, and pretty much on the money. As long as you're not violating the core mechanics of combat, spell use, etc. you really can't 'cheat' in D&D. It's what works for the DM, the players, and the particular...

When I started gaming in 1st edition, ages ago, my gaming circle was strictly into homegrown settings. We didn't even use modules. Now that I have rediscovered the game in 3rd edition, my new circle of gamers are completely devoted to the Forgotten Realms. I like it just fine but I know...

Hello KaeYoss; I'm interested to know what it is about the classless system that runs against D&D for you. I still see all of the classes we know and love functioning normally in this system but being put together in a modular way that allows competitive 'multi-classing'. Right now the system...

Hello William; I was introduced to the game about the same time you were. I vote no fewer than 4 years because they need to take the time to do it right. I feel that the 3.5 release fixed problems that needed fixing but the overall approach to the release was too much business and not enough...

Hi; Alignment based behavior is always a sticky subject. I don't know what its like in your campaign but the group I game with have a serious problem with viewing D&D alignment through a modern day moral compass. What would constitute a Lawful Good moral philosophy on 21st century earth is very...

Hi; I think anything that works for you and your group is the right method. In the end it's all about wether your adaptation of the rules results in more or less fun for the campaign. I personally like using miniatures for the sake of range and attacks of opportunity etc. But I don't like the...

Greetings one and all. I'm a born again gamer who was turned onto this contest by my DM; oh what a rebirth it is. It's great to be in contention for this prize with a last minute submission for a character that has actually had a short campaigning career. You really have to fill in a lot of...
