I'm aware than Zamussels is actually Jillian. However you have to go outside the comic to know that, she's called Jillian on page 7, Jillian on page 8, and just plain "She" on page 10. She gets no name when she's captured in 11. There's no other reference, the Jillian = Zamussels relies on...

Bard. Seriously, newspapers didn't exist back then. Most of the population (I'm going European here) couldn't read, including the nobility. Only priests could read, hence the term "Cleric" winding up synonymous with priest. Cleric simply means a person who can write things down. Written...

The Valkerie-Girl on the Gwiffon/peep was acompanied by a group of owls called ORLYs. This is a reference to a tired and very dated internet meme of a picture of an owl with the letters ORLY superimposed on it. Personally I've found that Gobwin Knob has it's moments but not enough of them for...

While I'm not a strong player of CoC there's a couple of problems with this post. Firstly there were indeed Nazis in 1920. They didn't control Germany utterly quite yet but by 1921 they were already violently attacking enemies of their party, such as rival politicians. By 1925 it's quite...

Hmm, the name might change but some sort of orc/goblin type is pretty common. Cat"folk" (Read: Catgirls) make a surprisingly strong showing in modern stuff given how rare such creatures were in ancient mythology. I'd say dragons are probably the most common beastie of all the nonhuman races...

Size matters not. Grandpa had the entire Kama Sutra memorized.

Somehow this thread just reminded me of a scene in a Harry Dresden novel, where he laments the fact that he has the hots for a vampire and can't sleep with her because of the obvious issues. A little girl calmly informs him that he needs to develop a taste for bondage and tie the vampire up. . .

Which settings are actually on planets? I was under the impression that the default DnD setting was a discworld, hence the term "plane."

Grave Strike from the Spell Compendium but it's a self only spell. So have your cleric buddy cast it into a Ring of Spell Storing a few times, it's only a first level spell. Edit: Spelling

If a horse couldn't spider climb because of it's lack of hands. . . that means a Spider couldn't spider climb either. I wouldn't consider that a particularly reasonable interpretation.

What's "my" hypothetical level in this situation? If I'm level 20 and the Drow is level 3 it probably doesn't matter how dangerous the drow is, I'd just be too tough to kill and have too many resources. In that situation I could even see the Drow wanting such a powerful asset to the family...

Because it offers something that fits a concept better/works easier than the magic system does. If nothing in psionics does that, you have no reason to choose psionics. As to what it is that fits better, you'll have to figure that out yourself. For instance a Wilder is a blaster who draws...

Is there any particular advantage to using a hand crossbow? They seem awfully weak, being of a lower damage die, and higher price, than a light crossbow and being exotic weapons to boot.

Here's a writeup for Anitelu, Half-Orc barbarian fisherman. I've got room left for one more skill, I was planning on "Profession: Fisherman" until I realized that profession is cross-class for barbarians. Still thinking on how to get something similar there. I also haven't picked his bonus...

I don't gret Dragon so I'd certainly appreciate whatever you can tell me on them.

16 14 8 10 17 10 14 Attribute roll Not amazing but a pretty decent score. I'm thinking I'll go with a simple barbarian. I'm thinking a polynesia-inspired fisherman, the kind of guy who dives in the water with a spear to fight a shark in melee before breakfast style barbarian. He'll be...

If there's still room I'd like to play too. Rolled a 4

Why? There's something wrong with a bead of karma only strand being free? I figured this was just to make up for how weak Clerics and Druids are in the game. I'm under the impression this wasn't errata'd but it was changed in one of the later books.

Hmm, leaving the story of the oh-so-redolent-of-cheese Spellcaster, I think Satyrs are rather gimped by their ECL. Okay skills and racial bonuses, BAB less than a full caster's without LA, A spread of +2 attribute bonuses without penalties is nice, but geared so that no matter what class you...

Early on Oil of Shelleleigh (SP?) makes a quarterstaff the most desirable double weapon for my tastes. Two effective size boosts and +1 enchantment for 50GP. Turns your normal Quarterstaff 1d6/1d6 into a 2d6+1/2d6+1 machine. I once saw an impressive half-giant psychic warrior who enlarged...
