Here's an old conversation from two years ago about the over abundance of canon from Forgotten Realms, how difficult it was to keep up with, and how some people needed cononnical purity. Unfortunately the formatting of quotes was screwed up when the site was migrated. I need to kill an Epic Red...

Our group had seven players plus a DM, who also ran an NPC. We had temporarily taken over an extra-dimensional fortress, but three of the characters were killed. The DM and his brother were moving, so the new DM ruled that the three characters could not be raised because the magical nature of...

Were the characters created at first level and advance to ninth, or were they recent creations? As a player, I'd hate to lose a character that I developed over a year.

Duct Tape. Seriously, one implement/weapon per hand. However 3.5E allowed other items such as a weapon to be wielded by the shield hand if it was a buckler.

If you're going to hand out the experience and bling, make them earn every last gold piece! An intelligent monster would act in the same manner as a player character who is defending their keep against an attack. In my opinion, some DMs should be more challenging. Case in point... why would a...

My high level 3.5E Wizard did not like to cast Disjunction, because he wanted the treasure he would claim to still be magical. I remember going up against a Red Wizard. I was invisible (a 9th level version of the spell) and could not be detected. Another player (not the DM) was running the Red...

To avoid that, only allow the characters to get items off villains they defeat who can use the items. And price won't matter if they are not for sale.

More than half the BBEGs we went against (7th level or higher) were capable of casting spells or using items. As a DM, I used this even more. Many times the characters would defeat the BBEG, but it would survive and escape. One of my favorite extended campaigns involved the group racing two...

When I lived in El Paso, we had alot of military players. In a more recent game in Vermont, we had two players that were eventually recalled back to Iraq. One guy DMed, and he ran some nasty combat scenarios. I wonder where he got his ideas from...

Wish = 30th level ritual, taking 8 hours and costing 100,000 to cast. See the Wishmaster movies on how a Wish can go wrong.

Buying the realms is alot like buying a car. At its core it is a vehicle to get your group to where you want to go. That destination being an enjoyable role playing experience. Some cars go faster, have a more spacious inside, or come in a different color or edition. Whether its Forgotten...

In 20+ years as a DM, often a sadistic one, I have never had a "Total Party Kill". Usually one character will survive and mount a rescue, which often amounted to finding bones and Raising Dead. Twice I had a Total Party Capture. Once the group was converted from agents of good to agents of...

I'm interested in creating a character, a Cleric or Fighter. If needed, I'd also play a Wizard, Druid, Monk or other class. hereticustheheretic@yahoo.com

What is a "TPK"?

I like the new Realms. 4.0E is a new game, and the setting was customized for the new game. Trying to play 4.0E characters in a 3.5E setting exactly as it was or similar could not work. And if you prefer the old FR... then use it!

Yes, a slate cleaning was needed. It got to the point where it was like New Jersey, every last square mile was developed in some way.

Yet my 4.0E character would love to have just one... Disguise and Invisibility are higher priorities.

Isn't that the point of an implement... to be focused on the class using it? My +3 Wand of Power (with an extra Fire Burst) is perfect for me.

My favorite daily is Bigby's Icy Grasp. In my opinion the fifth level dailies are better than the ninth level dailies.
