I can see one rationale behind this rule. Mainly that characters created AT a higher level tend to have skills, abilities, feats, PrCs, levels, etc, that are much more thought out than one that grew from 1st level. You can sort of max things out so that you end up being more powerful than the...

Although, even granting that everything Corinth said is true...it seems like it would be pretty fun to be evil. I can see how growing up to be head of the FBI and toying with the lives of everybody in the US would be pretty damn fun and pretty fulfilling. I tell ya, I wouldn't really mind being...

Corinth, that was amazing. I ask no one to touch that masterpiece, rebuttal would only spoil it.

I don't know, except my cat, the only people who would really be shattered by my dissappearance are my brother and parents. I don't have a girlfriend but even if I did (this being High School) eventually we'd break up and never see each other again. I like my friends fine, but when I go to...

I'd definitely be a wizard. Then as soon as I got enough knowledge I'd put out texts on abstract things (I know enough physics to be Faraday, Newton, Galileo, and Copernicus in one). I'd put out texts on Psychology (Sigmund Freud), the mish of philosophy that I know (Plaristotegel), and...

Re: Re: In terms of poisonous gas Thats true, but then I wouldn't bury all my magical items with me while my offspring fight for their lives against various goblinoid nasties. And I wouldn't live in a tower if I knew a rival wizard could knock it down with a few fireballs at the base. And I...

Hello I'd hate for you to duplicate your work, so you probably shouldn't do the elf, gnome, faerunian, drow, orc, dwarf, halfling, or mulhorandi pantheons since those are all in Faiths and Pantheons.

In terms of poisonous gas Well there has been alot of talk of poisonous gas and how useless it is for underground complexes since it would poison the people living inside. Well I'm just thinking, couldn't you have a passage like so ________________________________ /Poison - Poison - Poison...

The character thing is resolved I showed my friend a print-out of the martial artist class from Beyond onks and he suggested to me that he be allowed to change his character to that class. Something I am eminently suited for. Now when you say 3-4 encounters per adventure what are you talking...

I'd like some advice on two major things. Please keep in mind that my DMing skills are admittedly sub-par. I have decent acting and improvisation skills but am unfortunately unable to pull DnD game stats out of odd orifices and that limits what I can do. My first question is regarding party...

Purely on my perusal of the PH it would seem that dexterity is the better. For though the book claims that wisdom has something to do with the monk's special abilities I have found that most of them are not affected by the wisdom modifier. Since they both affect the monk's dexterity then the...

I find that 1st and 2nd level are really boring for me. The monsters you fight are boring. They have to be since even a group of kobolds using inventive tactics can kill a first leveler with a lucky hit. Most fights look like this. Fighter - Attack the closest thing Mage - hit something with...

I'm surprised no one thinks of the Brust Solution In Steven Brust's novels ressurection was incredibly common and most assassins charged a little bit extra to make the target unrevivifiable. In a fantasy campaign there should be no reason why a character should ever be let go with simply death...

I don't know about you but all my teachers (people who are used to reading lots of papers) can instantly tell even minor differences in font and margins. I'm sure it won't be too big a deal. But a person should be flexible enough (as our encounter contest proved to my detriment) to work within...

OT but... In almost any Black Isle DnD game I've ever played I could never bring myself to use the wands, staves, potions and other limited use items. I always felt that there would be something harder coming soon. I'd reload a half dozen times without using those things =). The sole exception...

Not in the US We don't have nearly enough kids here in the developed world. We'd be having negative population growth here if it wasn't for immigration and you gotta feel for the way Japan's population is going down. We all need to have six kids and in a generation or two gamers could be a...

Gamer's Attic Go to www.gamersattic.com. They can't quite match New Wave prices but they do come close (Faiths and Pantheons for $25 instead of $23) furthermore they don't charge shipping for orders over $25. Furthermore mine got here in good shape within 5 days. I might not be indicative of...

"Stuffing the Box" Does anyone have any idea what WOTC is looking for? Because I sure as hell don't. Its not like writing a short story, where it merely has to be entertaining (as well as of a generalized mold that tends to sell well amongst the magazines readership). None of us has any idea...

Err what? Where does one find these creatures...you call them players? I have never seen such a wondrous beast in my life, fortunately. For if I had then the people who sit around my table while I hide behind a screen and talk (interspersed with dice-rolling) might want to kill it.

Rahkan This reminds me of a villain I was making the other day. He was a level 8 psion (telepath) who was going to be the party's nemesis for a few sessions. The point is that instead of taking the most useful level 1 abilities like Charm Person (he got Domination and level 4), he took some...
