Our DM once punished our party after we insisted we each carry a 10-foot pole. We should have been suspicious when he started narrowing the hallways to 5 feet wide and putting in lots of sharp turns ... When you declare, "We run away!" in a panic, you should always be sure to specify that you...

I'm surprised Chuck Norris hasn't roundhouse-kicked you off the Internet for invoking his name on a D&D message board.

With all the recent controversy surrounding the 10-foot pole issue, I thought it would be good to clear the air a little and let people clarify in a non-judgmental manner(!) what their characters would or would not touch with a 10-foot pole. Please, be kind and don't pick on anyone for his or...

10-foot pole. Always.

Based on the low charisma scores and diplomacy ranks of some people I've encountered, I figure they must have optimized some other abilities and skills. :lol:

Our DM has formed an investigative committee to look into complaints that character hazing may have led to the death of one of our new PCs. "Saving throws may have been extensively modified in a negative manner following the abuse of inappropriate skill rolls," the initial report says. Also...

That's good. Do you know of people who are throwing fits? That would be something to see.

Why are they still bothering to provide story and/or mechanics details so that players can add Supplement Flavor of the Month to the Forgotten Realms campaign? (Shadowcaster from Tome of Magic this week, for example.) I thought that product line was sorta tied up and left to die a natural death...

Regarding character development: Fewer limitations on access to class-specific abilities -- wild empathy, for example, and bardic lore -- and fewer stereotyped class labels. More flexibility to design what we refer to now as a "cross-class" character to fit a personal, specific concept without...

I don't play unless I'm being paid. When the check clears, I start rolling dice, and I stop according to our contract.

We usually snack while we're playing, and on a particularly long game night we might take turns napping between dice rolls.

You didn't actually kill the cat for experience points, did you?! :confused:

I'd play it as a challenge to ram the campaign down the DM's throat. :] Doomed, am I? Feh!

re "Pirates! - Give me some pirate ideas to steal!": Arrr! I buried my ideas on a beach on a tiny island y'll never be finding, y' scurvy dog. Arrr!

Ouch. :( I hope they don't feel irrelevant. It's just a pop culture quiz with a very narrow range. No need to insult those who don't pass. That's kinda mean.

Speaking of races: David Hyde-Pierce (ala Niles on the "Frazier" TV series) playing a half-orc.

I'll start with computer magnate Bill Gates, playing a barbarian. Mood costuming optional. And V.P. Dick Cheney as a 30th level ninja. Or a paladin. I'm not sure.

Can anyone point me to some online info on the Exemplar prestige class from Complete Adventurer? And in your campaign, has anyone taken the class for their character? Successfully? Thanks.

More of a "fantasy world" kind of thing. This IS a D&D board, after all. :)

Nah. Elves don't sleep. ... They're out shooting pool with the guys.
