Back in 2e my character was a super tough dwarf. 2 fighters in our group, and mine had 18 CON! At first level, we got max hp, and I definitely had an edge over that flimsy elf with 8 CON (no penalty in 2e), with 14 vs 10 hp. After 3 more levels though, I had rolled a 2,3 and a 4. The elf...

I don't know about an adventure, but a premise for them to be together: A dwarven and a gnomish underground settlement, connected by an underground lake, have had their underground trading boats connection disrupted by some *very* strange creatures emerging from the depths. The dwarf could be...

Agreed. Added bonus: less maths!

3.5e weapon rules were more realistic, but were annoying in game, mostly when the group wanted to redivide its weapons among them, but other examples have also been mentioned. So for me, realism shmealism, let's hope they go back to one-size fits all weapons. Rav

I've always allowed people to move a 5ft area with AoO as a full round acion, despite being in a greased area: crawling.

Why? What purpose do they fill? They're useless creatures, that only look nice in avatars :cool:

Wow. I think you've just won the thread :)

I really can't stomach WAR art. I find the coice for him as an artist very strange, as he is a kinda "love him or hate him" kind of artist. Lockwood would indeed have been a safer choice.

Backpack as a DM, shoulderbag as a player (less to carry).

Exactly! How did you find out? :)

I've ran quite a few Dungeon 3.0 adventures in a 3.5 group. I never bothered converting them, except some on the fly rulings about damage conversion (and renaming wilderness lore to survival). Your son won't be rules savvy enough to know that the creature he's fighting has stats that are...

Anthrobot.

I'm a suit, and usually come straight from work.

LE Troll Fighter 12. Appearance: Typical troll, though seems to act in a very observing manner. Dresses in shiny full plate. Key strengths: Incredibly intelligent and cunning. Quirks: An insane obsession with staying alive. Hence his rings of Fire and Acid resistance. Profession: Leader of the...

If you can fly, do so. Air based summons and animal campanions are less likely, and less powerful. This is important because grappling truly will ruin your day. Flying ou of the reach of vegetation will also reduce the chance of being Entangled (or worse) by said local vegetation. I suggest...

House of +1 returning daggers.

3/4 max, eh? let's see... Wizards get 3 out of 4. A 20% increase from their average 2.5. Barbarians get 9 out of 12, a 19,25% increase from their average 6.5. Quite balanced in which class gets the bonus... but: Giving higher than average hit points diminishes the usefulness of expendable...

On the high average / low average debate: a d4 average is 2.5. Rounded up that is a 3, an increase of one-fifth over the 2.5. a d12 average is a 6.5. Rounded up that is a 7, an increase of one-thirteenth over the 6.5. So if you give high average, the wizards get a 20% hp boost, and barbarians...

I think it's only rangers and clerics of heironeous that use longswords IMC. Every now and then a longsword will be used because a magical one will appear in the treasuesooner or later.

I think you're putting words in someone else's mouth. That "non-optimized roleplay, as you've chosen to label it", might or might not be the same as "immersive roleplaying". To me, someone who roleplay's immersively, really gets into character, whether that character is optimized or not. On the...
