    Let me reiterate ACQUIRE! It's really good. I promise.

    [recruitment] join ENworld as a die!

    Wakka Wakka! Seriously, that was funny.

    The optimal number of participants (player AND DM)!

    I went with 5 - that's 1 DM and four players. I think this is the ideal number for everyone to 'get enough attention' and if it comes to a vote within the party, a 2-2 split will have to be discussed rather than a 3-2 (of a party of 5) vote being used to overpower certain members.

    Point-buy or rolling? Your preference and why?

    Ditto what Marlaxle said. Rolling is better - it provides more colorful characters.

    [ot, kinda] Board Game suggestions

    ACQUIRE!!!! It's an awesome classic that few people know about. It's a great strategy game that is ENTIRELY removed from the RPG world. There is a slight learning curve but there's an unlimited variety of strategies you can use to win. I run an Acquire tournament with a group of friends and we...

    How often do you game/How much is too much?

    Twice a month if I'm lucky. Sessions run 6-8 hours. This is especially difficult to deal with during the summertime - I still miss being 14 years old, having summers off and the (Mel Gibson Braveheart) FREEDOM!!! of my youth.

    How many dice do you own?

    Well SO-O-ORY! As I said I'm new to DnD and as you can see by the poll results over half of the people have LESS THAN 100+. I agree I should have made more poll choices for the upper end but most reasonable people would probably think that owning over 100+ dice is a bit much....considering most...

    How many dice do you own?

    While I've played DnD CRPGs and read many FR novels for years, I've only recently gotten into DnD tabletop gaming and I'm starting to become a collector of dice. I only have 4 full sets of 8 dice - 3 from the store and 1 from the starter DnD kit - as well as some other dice I bought individually...

    TROLL POLL #3: Prestigious or not? Vote on "Class" warfare!

    I chose 25%. When I think about PrC's, I think a) they are unorganized b) they are not {anywhere close to being} balanced c) many are ambiguous d) many are silly e) many aren't even "prestigious" I would prefer to see an OFFICIAL be-all end-all prestige class supplement made by people who a)...

    (RANT) (longish) A player wishes to drop

    Too. Much. Drama. Let her go. Gaming is supposed to be fun - not a soap opera. I would guess that she is a nomadic group-hopper - she only stays long enough to irritate everyone then moves on, playing the 'victim' in the process. [matrix speak] Stick with your formula - this girl is an...

    penalty for cheating

    What a sick situation. You are the DM, not a parent. In your shoes, I would oust him - once a cheater, always a cheater. As a fellow PC, I would also make efforts to oust him. Punishment just demoralizes him and reduces his stature among the group. Really, it's just embarrassing.

    Who is houseruling 3.5 changes before they try them?

    Our group will be creating a 3.25E - taking the best ideas/rules from both and leaving the rest in the trash can.

    Elemental Archon & Summoning Mephits

    Ok. This is a very very specific question - not too much exciting room for discussion...I'm planning on running a cleric of Kossuth that will proceed to level as an elemental archon. First, some background. According to F&P, a 1st level elemental archon can summon up to 3 mephits per day that...

    Gospog: While CRPGs will never match live role-playing, I have to tell you that there are some really good games out there.

    Psion's list of rules from 3.5 he will NOT be using...

    Uh....no. First of all, the paladin's mount is not a 'use it or lose it' ability, and while he certainly can't successfully take his mount down a '45 decline into the underdark or into a thieves guild with winding passageways, he CAN leave it at the stable of the nearest town after which he can...

    Psion's list of rules from 3.5 he will NOT be using...

    Giving the paladin a summonable magic mount so he can 'always fight from atop his steed' regardless of his location... is like making giving every monster in the game the 'undead' tag so a cleric can always use his 'turn undead' ability. It's bogus and it's lame.

    Pissed about the reduction of the Spell Focus Feats

    FreetheSlaves - you are either not reading my posts or just ignoring the logic. Let me break it down into bite-size pieces for you....:rolleyes: EVERY creature in DnD existence has at least 1 good save. Some even have two - and a rare have all three (monk, for example). So worst case scenario...

    Psion's list of rules from 3.5 he will NOT be using...

    I believe they are calling it pokemon paladin because he can randomly summon his magic mount for a certain amount of time per day (after which it vanishes). Just imagine a paladin carrying around a poke-ball. As a comment to the initial poster - I will definitely be fighting to keep spell...

    In praise of 1 minute/level spells

    I have to say I don't mind the change at all. Sure, a 3rd level cleric might like it if the buff spells lasted a little longer, but by 10th level you should really not be all that worried. In 3E.....Eric the Cleric wakes up from a solid 8 hours of sleep. After saying his prayers to his god, he...

    Pissed about the reduction of the Spell Focus Feats

    As I've already said, Free the Slaves, a +2 cloak of resistance costs a measly 4K gold. It offers a +2 to ALL saves. No need to "bump three ability scores" or take 3 feats. Furthermore, every PC has at least 1 "good save" - and so really they only need to take the 2 feats that bump their "bad...
