    Sorcerer or Wizard for a monk?

    With only 3 levels wizard trumps sorcerers. 2nd level spells are useful, and the ability to learn spells from scrolls, means you can have a lot of the utility spells that don't relay on caster level much. Remember at level 10+ caster level 1 damage spells are going to be useless, but I assume...

    Suspension of disbelief and gamers

    Gamers are a varied group. While some gamers may not be able to suspend their disbelief others can do it quite well. A lot of the time when someone says they can't suspend their disbelief it is just for one particular thing that bothers them which could be different for other gamers.

    101 Epic Adventure Ideas

    12) A god has taken intrest in using the party as his/her champions. But first he wants to test them. To do so he transports them to a demiplane (willing or unwilling Dm's choice) which is an archepiligo with a different test on each island.

    Where does the Gnomish Tinker stereo/archetype come from?

    The gnome tinker orignated in dragonlance, as tinker gnomes. They later got into the second edition monster manual as a subspecies which is where I first saw the idea. To create such a character look at the gnomish artificer class in the magic of fauren (even though the class is almost completly...

    Rat-bastardly... or just plain horrible? (DTW Gameday people stay out!)

    A 12 level party should be able to survive and destroy this ambush. A area dispel, glitterdust, fairy fire, see invisibility, true seeing, all of these would allow the goblin to be targeted. And a lone 12 level goblin is not going to last long once the might of a 12th level party is brought upon it.

    Best 1st level adventure out there

    I like the sunless Citadel. But the main reason for that is meepo. My dm played him wonderfully. "Rescue Dragon Now" he'll say that after after every encounter. We didn't really worry about the ethics of letting the kobolds live, because of meepo we let them off scott free killed the goblins for...

    What d20/D&D products are you buying this year?

    The only one I am almost certain I will buy if it gets good reviews is the complete divine as a play a druid in one the campaigns I'm in. Anything else I buy I buy if the concept is intresting and the reviews are good.

    Rakasta poll

    I say monsterous but I could see it both ways. Its monsterous in that few humaniods have special attacks and it is listed as having improved grab and mounted leap, and few humaniods had special attacks besides that gained from classes. On the over hand it is quite humanlike in shape except...

    Remember Kits?

    I remember kits. They were a hit and miss. Some gave silly abilitys. (Sea rangers in complete ranger handbook, could call a group of fish to do his bidding at 9th level.) Some where broken (many of the ones in the complete elf) But there were a few ones that were inspired and...

    D&D deserves a better XP system

    First of all I do not think that this thread is a troll, and I agree that some people are being far to harsh. Now my opinion is that every system has it flaws and if it really doesn't work for you, then you can houserule it. I might not agree but its your game. But think of your players...

    Which D&D "cow" is least sacred?

    It has to be Vancian Magic. There are several d20 systems that cast spells, or things like spells without using Vancian Magic system. Even though it is not magic specifically look at the Psionics handbook, a system of magic that doesn't use the Vancian Magic system. Even then there are other...

    Holy Weapon Sources ???

    Try a making an unique sword, maybe one that has an ability like the fires of judgment. This sword is like a flaming sword but it only effects evil creatures. Or something else along those lines.

    What's your 'dump stat'?

    My druids dump stat is dexterity. He was made in 3.0 and orignally was going to be a shifter. But that idea got changed to a straight druid but the dump stat remained.

    Help Me With My Metaplot

    Another idea is that someone uncovers a portal to a forgotten demiplane. In the hands of the resitance its a safe haven, where they can hide and the night elves can't find them. But if the nightelves find it they can build a fortress their and strike down the resitance from a unattackable place...
