    What's your single favorite D&D creature?

    Wraiths! Lots of immunities, and the ability to scare the living daylights out of the party when they don't have a cleric handy. Rav

    Do you trust the people you game with?

    My players have told me that they cheat sometimes, mostly on initiative. I'm pretty sure they never cheat on saving throws or crits/fumbles however. I trust them... mostly. Rav

    Round 10 is OVER

    Improved Precise Shot, Still Spell, Silent Spell Won't anyone join me on my crusade against Improved Precise Shot? I haven't seen anyone else besides me vote for it. Rav

    3.0 Wizards adventure path: war stories?

    One of my DM's linked the first three together. Dragons destroyed my characters home town, which sent us to the citadel, but I think we found out there was someone behind the dragon attacks... eh... I think I won't be much help. basically, if you want to link them, you'll have to edit them a...

    Misleading/changed rule/ability discriptions?

    Do you know the character Ivy from the PS2 game Soulcalibur 2? She has a sword which can extend to have whip like properties. One of her moves she inserts the sword into the ground and it then comes out of the ground beneath the opponent. I think that could work. I wouldn't actually have him...

    How selfish are your PCs?

    "You see an evil altar with silver embossed runes" "We pry out the silver to häve it melted down later" "Behind the altar is a man, tied up. He looks to be prepped for sacrifice" "We release him. does he have any jewelry?"

    Round 8 is OVER!

    Craft Rod It has no business being on here with other craft feats gone already. Higher level feats for the fighting man sounds good. (I was too bored with explaining for the umpteenth time why I think Improved Precise Shot deserves to be shot precisely, so that's why I'm not voting for it.) Rav

    Challenging PCs with One Encounter Per Day...

    One thing that might help is put a more Medieval European scale to your world. Look at the overland travel table. See how much ground they covered in three weeks, when compared to the distances in Europe. If they started in Paris, they could reach any major Eoropean city in three weeks easily...

    listen and spot checks. Active vs Inactive checks?

    Pinotage is correct. An added detail is of course that the goblins may be hiding. It clearly says in the Hide skill that the method of determining whether hiding is successful is an opposed spot check. Note though, that every 10 feet imposes a -1 penalty to spot and listen checks 9which Ialways...

    Munskins/Power gaming - Two weapon fighting feat with two bastard sword

    Sun Blade: This sword is the size of a bastard sword. However, a sun blade is wielded as if it were a short sword with respect to weight and ease of use. (In other words, the weapon appears to all viewers to be a bastard sword, and deals bastard sword damage, but the wielder feels and reacts as...

    The Hand Wave

    Shopping for mundane stuff, long travel and down time, random encounters that are no threat (though I sometimes do play them out: shows the players how far their characters have come), material components, prices for food and drink (when a long period passes, I'll use the upkeep rules from the...

    First Character Deaths

    In 2e, I never lost a character. In 3e: Forge of Fury, rope bridge: "Do I have a good chance to make it to the other side of the bridge?" "yeah, its doable" *rolls 16* "Well that's a good roll, what do you make" "Well with my armour check penalty... 8 in total." "Er. Roll another balance check"...

    The wealthy merchant has his son raised. The son finds out who the true murderer was (why did that kid kill me?). Son then hunts PC down, dangling the real information in front of his nose - but only wiling to give it if he turns himself in. Rav

    Round Vi Is Over

    Improved Precise Shot I just like to be a broken record. IPS is just the worst in feat design in the PHB, however useful it is for a character to take. My tip, with reasons similar to why everyone chooses Improved Initiative (but this feats actually keeps you in the action istead of held or...

    Round III is OVER

    Improved Precise Shot I'll say again why: When archers find it easier to hit someone behind an arrow slit than someone lying down on the floor, the game's got issues. Martial weapon proficiency is also poorly designed, I'll admit (I've been using the weapon group rules from unearthed arcana,so...
