Alyra peers into the darkness of the penthouse through the windows, and crosses her arms rather uncertainly. "I think," she says, her voice wavering a bit, "that 'Mamba' would prefer something rather more theatrical." She whirls around to look at the others, in the shadowy illumination of the...

What's your favorite thing in the book? As in, the thing that makes you go, "Wow, this was so worth it!"?

Well, just... don't transcribe them? Tell him he can have the Epic Feats from XPH 34, and that's it. Is there really a need for more?

Offhand, I would say, the Monster Manual 3.5.

Which will then result in choruses of, "That CR is really obviously miscalculated!" and "Wow, that monster is so broken!"

Well, if you really really really need them to do it. A) Geas all of them. This may take awhile. 2) Plane shift to another plane, gate in the party, and force them into (fairly paid contractual) service.

This reminds me of how my then-girlfriend didn't believe me when I said that the Dragonlance novels she so loved when she was younger were, in fact, based upon a Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting. On the other hand, it did get her primed for the whole gaming thing, so. I didn't really feel...

I must admit that this breaks down somewhat when people are willing to make sexual comments about the guy sitting next to me, which of course means that this applies to me, too.

Well, what I had in mind when I wrote the first post wasn't people who enjoy roleplaying evil characters just as a matter of course, or like to unwind by being occasionally evil. I was thinking of the people I know who insist on playing evil characters in virtually every campaign, and who find...

This isn't really an exact rules thing, but in general I tend to feel that when 3.5 breaks something, it usually errs on the side of underpowered, as opposed to 3.0, which can get rather... messy.

This has probably been brought up before, but. In the course of my gaming career, I've known a few people who have insisted upon playing evil characters -- by which I mean, they find playing good and neutral characters "boring" and distasteful and uninteresting. I've never been able to work...

I have one player who kept coming up with new and ludicrous names for her character, like, every week -- she's a feline Shifter in Eberron, and would introduce herself as "Fuzzy Cat" or "Deus ex Machina" or "Yours Truly Bast' Stab-a-rat." So on her first trip out of Sharn, I made her get photo...

The easiest way to make this clear, I think, is to stick 'em in an appendix of some kind. It emphasizes that they're separate from the real meat of the book.

I have to admit that this is true. I've been in encounters where the GM was like, "Wow, this thing is way too powerful," when I just didn't see appropriate tactics being used by the the party. Admittedly, I have been in groups where the other players thought that polymorph and summon monster...

No, because they think it's too much trouble/too complicated. Same with polymorph.

Mind giving us a bit more exposition to set the scene?

If you're a planar sort of person and your GM is willing to let you go Exalted, there's that one caster class in the Book of Exalted Deeds that involves the seven heavens, I suppose -- the Celestial Mystic. What with you teaching arcane ethics, this seems possibly up your alley.

I'm the friend, and I'd possibly be interested in playing a Warforged Artificer-or-Druid, depending. I'm a Planescape scholar, kinda. I may be wrong, but what I can gather is that there are no gods allowed in Sigil due to the Lady of Pain. However, this is not the same as clerics and spells...

Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence Alyra goes to some effort to have a long-suffering look on her face as Simon calls out to her, and places her hands on her knees, coming in closer to whisper to the little girl. "My Brother Caelistis is calling me, but I'll come and see the flowers in...

Twelve levels? One for each moon, I imagine. Mind talking a bit about what affinity Shifters have with the moons such that this kind of class could come about? Beyond the obvious lycanthropic thing, of course.
