The luggage seems to have either an illusion ability or the ability to actually create matter. Several times when Rincewind was a prisoner (Most notably in "Sourcery") the luggage appeared in the path of Rincewind's captors with it's lid open, overflowing with gold. It seems doubtful to me...

That's an idea. I'm waiting for dog45 to resolve my Charm Person at the moment, though, so I'm not sure it'd help in this situation.

The problem with retreat in DnD is that the tactical elements of the game make retreat a losing proposition compared to trying to tough it out and crush the enemy. At low levels many monsters outrun you, there are no teleport spells to save the door, and you frequently suck up tons of AoOs when...

Taken to it's logical extreme, this should result in only a handful of classes, perhaps four to six, which get a feat every level. Every class ability is a Feat, and Feats come in trees and chains lasting all the way up to level 20.

I'd like to see a way to build the classic "Lucky Hero" archetype, the guy who's not that good with a sword, not a powerful spellcaster, and even seems a little clumsy. But in the fight he'll inevitably trip over something that springs back and defeats his enemy, while searching for traps he'll...

I'm going to second letting the players play what they want. A short time ago I introduced two of my nephews to DnD. Having thoughts similar to the ones in this thread, I suggested a Barbarian to the first, like Conan. Nephew: "Huh? I thought we were playing Dragons. Why do I have to be...

"There's no need for that. We are all friends here." Marika says to the remaining goblin, as suddenly her eyes flare and the copper motes in them fly out with fey power. Using Charm Person on the goblin, I believe the DC is 12. The goblin probably gets +5 on his roll since he's being...

Hmm, can't recall the name offhand but there's an undead severed head that walks around on it's hair. How is it possible that make that cool?

How did Thog get 3 iterative attacks? That implies a BAB of at least +11 and I didn't think anybody in the strip was that high, Rich Burlew has publically stated he considers the order to be levels 6-8. Or does Thog have a feat I'm missing?

I'm guessing the DCs were developed by somebody who read the Wizards optimization boards and say the builds that say fighter2/rogue1/bard1/fist of the north star 7/caped catgirl 1/mecha pilot 2/tatooed mummy 6 that have +375 to Bluff or something and they concluded that all 20th level characters...

Yay!

Spiders would obsessively plan out their characters, getting every last detail right. They would make fantastic dungeon masters, but poor players because they would expect eveything to come to them instead of actively entering the dungeon to go kill things. Clams would have the same problem...

Marika grumbles something unprintable about Polmor's ancestry and keeps hacking at the remaining bits of net around herself.

Thanks for the replies all, you've given me a lot of help. I appreciate it. Sadly the GM didn't bother to inform me until after I'd been posting plans and asking for critiques for four days that the fighter slot was already taken and I needed to build a healmonkey. :mad: In retaliation I...

"Just be patient and don't panic Polmor. We'll be able to get out of this easily enough." Guess I'll assist Polmor in breaking the net. Seems like a waste of a good net though.

I believe it can be sundered since it has only 5 hitpoints and apparently no hardness. I don't know what it's AC is but it can't possibly be particularly high, on the other hand the folks in nets are missing a big chunk of their attack rolls. I figure we'll just skip bothering to escape until...

1: It's actually being run as a sort of tournament dungeon so pretty much the same as an average adventure would be, you can buff in advance if you know they're coming and manage an ambush or something. I have no idea how often the group will have to fight but I'm going to assume 4 encounters a...

In a game I'm playing we've been told we're going to be in a tournament, with teams of 4 players competing against each other. The GM has stated that Roleplaying will not earn anything so I've decided to try to build something as strong as I can. Characters are level 15, 32 point buy...

Yeah, I suppose we can wait. So, do we want to take our goblin prisoners in this fight? Marika can probably charm them both but it'll take two rounds of casting charm person.

"Somebody has a sense of humor. This goblin hunt might just be more fun than I expected." Stowing the parchment just in case it's useful later, Marika heads to assist Polmor and Grimgour in their daring look around a corner of a corridor. "I'll check this alcove for trapsor treasure." OOC~...
