You may also want to check into psychologists like R.D. Liang and others from the existential movement. Their stance, in a watered-down nutshell, is that all human beings are "well-adjusted". It's the world around them that's crazy and FUBAR, and any psychological reaction to that world is a...

Where's the fourth option for "poll creator padding his/her own ego"? Let it go...you do what you want, hong will do what he wants, and the world remains unchanged. It's a game, folks. So I'm with Morrus: Wheeeeeeeee!

I *LOVE* the swashbuckler class thus far. My last three characters have had at least 3 levels of swashbuckler, and I think it's a great class. Mostly, it's a great class for the reason many have listed before: STYLE. I personally can't stand stock fighters (pure damage machines are just...

I usually use the basic shell of an adventure, then ad-lib everything else. I really don't do any true "preparation" at all. Maybe I'm weird, but I definitely prefer to just do everything impromptu. But I have to keep detailed notes so I can remain consistent. :cool:

Yep, my group has a really great quirk. If I put a door in front of them, they barge through it without fail. It's amazing. Uncanny, really. Even if the rogue checks for traps or listens for voices, they'll just go screaming through the door, guns a-blazin'. Especially if they hear voices...

So I'm asking for help creating a good transition between locales in my Forgotten Realms campaign. The party is 10th level, with a fighter, a ranger/rogue, a paladin, a cleric and a wizard/loremaster. They're currently running through the Heart of Nighfang Spire module, where a vampire has...

Those are the stats I have as well, but I don't know the cost, and I don't know if it's considered a slashing or piercing weapon. I know I've seen the weapon in one of the books, not just a Dragon magazine. Anyone else...? ~Jason

I'm creating a fighter8/wizard1/bladesinger3, and the DM has allowed me to use the elven thinblade instead of a longsword or rapier. However, I can't seem to find the stats for the thinblade. I thought it was in the Arms & Equipment guide, but I don't see it. Maybe I just missed it...I don't...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions thus far. I guess my problem is that I get so friggin' bored playing the tanked-out fighter who uses two-handed weapons for max damage. As I said before, I don't really ever powergame, so this process is kinda new to me. It seems that my desire for...

Maybe it is. :) I guess the problem is that I'm WAY more into playing characters that are cool, fun and interesting. However, two or three of the other players in the group are nothing but HARDCORE powergamers, and my characters become effectively obsolete (or dead) because the DM has to...

Okay, so due to some poor decisions by the party and a serious inter-party conflict of interest, party members will end up fighting one another next session (this coming Saturday). To the DM's credit, he's played everything out as it really should have been, but it still means that my character...

I am also not drunk, though I will be in approximately 14 hours when the Halloween party kicks off...soooooooo psyched! :D Regarding whiskey...good ol' JD and I had a falling out a few years ago. We don't talk so much no more. Which is why I've made two new, and very very dear friends...

YAY! An update!!!!!!!!!! Cool! I can't wait to read about the arena battle and the soap-opera I managed to create after Deepwood... :D ~ J edit: I can't type today...

This year's Halloween get-up is easily the most enjoyable costume idea I've done yet. I will be appearing as... > > > > > > > > > > Leon Phelps, the Ladies' Man. Allow me to rethite a poem. And I read *with a heavy lisp*: "What is love? What is this longing in our hearts for togetherness...

More updates, Nick! Get us up to speed here! :D

Bump, good sir Nick. BUMP :-) ~Box

Pretty sweet, dude! Make me more mysterious! :D ~Box

Would I allow it? In a word, NO. I don't allow anything that remotely comes close to psionics/telekenesis/whatever. Far too unbalanced in my low-mid magic games. ~Box

I can't give any suggestions regarding where to look for a fighting style, but hows about this: You said the spear seems to "encourage" your character to desire power and tend toward the evil side of things. This suggests to me that maybe it's intelligent, or cursed. If so, I don't think it...

Chaotic Good Halfling Bard STR 14 DEX 16 CON 11 INT 14 WIS 15 CHA 15 Dammit...I always rate as a wee person... :( ~Box
