    Can a caster voluntarily fail a level check to overcome Spell Resistance?

    Thanks, Hyp, that's exactly what I was asking. Of course, it was SR 24, a summoned Earth Elemental, and an Antimagic Field, but that is what I wanted to know... Thanks for your help, guys. Jason

    Beware my hamster-fu

    That would be Masters of Arms, by Second World Simulations. Great, great book. I highly recommend it...

    Can a caster voluntarily fail a level check to overcome Spell Resistance?

    The subject pretty much says it all. You can always fail a save if you want, right? Can you also choose to NOT overcome SR? Thanks, Jason

    Adventure Hunting

    For goodness sakes, whatever you do, don't buy Deathright. Fortunately, I got it for free, because it is horribly written, with nonsensical encounters, a paper thin plot, and new, important-to-the-module rules that make no sense. Oh, and Heart of Nightfang Spire is a meat grinder... which, in my...

    Mutants & Masterminds Character Gen Time?

    I strongly agree with DMScott and swrushing about using the pregens. They have a good range of options, but for the most part, they don't have any weird, hard-to-adjudicate powers. It is far simpler to use them for an intro game, and then phase in player-created characters later. This is what I...

    I personally like the classes, as written. They serve their purpose to hang general ideas/concepts on, and can be tweaked to do what a particular player or GM wants... Also, while I will admit that there may be too many products out there with prestige classes, I also really like that concept...

    Wow, that is great news. Now I really can't wait to see this book. Jason

    While I agree that AU, Draconomicon and UA all are fantastic and deserve awards, I am going to go the slightly less traveled route, and say WotC's Underdark. I just finished reading it, and I think it has the perfect balance of crunch and fluff. And oh, the fluff. I don't run a game in the...

    Thus far, I have only been to GenCon once, but it was so fun, we were convinced to go again this year... Before that, I had always wanted to go to a con, but never had the opportunity, either because of finances or distance... Jason

    Geez, I don't even remember... I've been around and (mostly) lurking since Eric Noah's original 3E site (not his campaign site), but I don't remember how I found it... Jason

    Crikey, do I have to pick just one? I guess probably the Story Hour, for not only tons of entertainment, but also lots of inspiration for my own game... Jason

    Hmmm... I was planning a faerie-themed FR game after reading Lord Dunsany's King Of Elflands Daughter (which is a brilliant book that everyone should read, by the way). I would like to see that come to fruition. Jason

    While I realize the game (and the company) has a bad reputation, the Rifts core book from Palladium is one of my favorites. It has such a wealth of interesting ideas, and I have always liked the combination of tech and magic that is in that system/setting.
