Maybe it might be worth your while to explore that insecurity? If your pals wouldn't make a big deal out of it, and the 'threat' of ridicule seems minimal, that leads me to believe you alone are holding yourself back. Do you ever just act goofy with friends in non-RPG situations? ~Box

Well, I thank you kind sir. I only hope it has meaning for our distressed friend. :) ~Box

Well, I don't really feel like getting all psychological right now, but... I'd say that your feelings could be the result of any one or a combination of things. First, I'd say that it revolves around some insecurity. I'd venture a guess (GUESS, mind you. I'm NOT a professional here), that...

I'd hate to see this fall through, so..... *shameless bump* :D ~Box

Hey Jez, I'm definitely interested. Here are the dates that would work for me: August 17 August 23 August 24 As for September, I'm not sure yet. My classes start right after Labor Day, so I'd need to double check my schedule after that. BTW, we never did get together at Adventure to abuse...

Might be a stretch, but how 'bout "Heward's Handy Haversack"? It's kinda neat, kinda useful. I personally don't envision rangers carrying tons of stuff (only the necessities, really). Since each of the two side pouches holds 20 lbs (or 2 cu. ft.) of stuff, and the main pouch holds 80 lbs (or...

...knows the track titles and exact track numbers to every CD I've ever owned, and some I've only heard once. ...goes about my morning routine in the same exact sequence every morning. ...finds "Strange Brew" to be the funniest damned movie. EVER. ...has seen, let alone thoroughly enjoyed...

Hang in there AB... No doubt it sounds hollow and meaningless right now, but your attitude can have a dramatic affect on these sorts of things. My profs used to pound it into us in clinical and abnormal psych classes, as well as my biobehavioral health classes...people have beaten things...

Well, from what I've found according to the SRD and the PHB, there's no such thing as a "critical failure" on a skill check. From the SRD: For circumstances where critical failure does apply, I usually have my players make an appropriate ability check to avoid the failure (e.g., player rolls...

It lacks internal consistency! ;) I have a few questions: 1) What exactly were the lawyers tied up with, and why couldn't you have used *that* to hang yourself? 2)Why does the samurai have a sword if there are no weapons in this city/world/thing? How did he get the sword, if there are no...

Seedless grapes Gala apples Original Goldfish crackers Cheese (usually of the mozzarella variety) Turkey Hill iced tea (couldn't resist the plug!) I've decided recently that sitting on my arse eating cookies and other junk was only contributing negatively to my efforts to get back into great...

My personal fave: Mad. Irishman. 'nuff said. ~Box

I use the MasterScreen as well, and I've got the same sheets DM Magic has suggested. Works out great for my game. I'm extremely happy with it, and I'd highly recommend them as well. ~Box

I know you didn't want to focus on sneak attacks, but sink a ton of skill points into Bluff and feint, feint, FEINT! Fight defensively while you feint. You roll your Bluff, opponent rolls an opposed Sense Motive. If you win, opponent is denied his Dex bonus to AC next round when you attack...

I've always been a fan of rolling 4d6 seven times. on each roll drop the lowest die, then drop the lowest of the seven scores. Arrange as desired. No electronic die rollers, no other means of mechanical or electronic intervention. All stat rolls during creation are made at the table with...

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of my players calling out tactical advice during combat. I look at combat as a very fast-paced and dynamically shifting situation. Decisions in the combat round must be made quickly. There is no time for real deliberation. If you're engaged in trying to keep...

Holy crap, Kai! You're awesome! You just shot to the top of my "nice guy" list. Allow me to throw my character into the mix, if it's okay... Elisuon of the House Protectorate Ftr3/Rog3, CG High Elf, male Stats: STR 14, DEX 20, CON 14, INT 16, WIS 14, CHA 15 Personality: Calm, pensive...

Start in any region, and tell them up front that you'll be making some "slight modifications" to the world to incorporate your own "flavor" into the game. That should pretty much cover anything you don't know outright but decide to improvise. Make the disclaimer up front and they can't really...

"Sheesh! It'll be fine. Just don't roll a 1..." ~Box

...but I couldn't find the comic concerning D&D. Can anyone help me locate it, or point me to any of the numerous threads on the EN World boards that contain the link? Thanks! I shant take up any more of your time. :) ~Box
