    DMing D&D 3.5 in FR (campaign, been going about two years off and on). The party is currently 7th level, one Necromancer (custom alt class, not specialist wizard) for the co-DM's PC, one Enchanter 6/Red Wizard 1, one Fighter 6/Knight 1 and one straight Fighter level 7.

    What would soften the blow?

    I'd buy 4e if it was a significant improvement and it was 1) OGL/d20, 2) compatible with 3.5, fully, and 3) didn't cost very much. Things requiring me to buy new everything from 3.5 will not receive my or my group's attention, though.

    RP effects of Haste (or slow)

    Considering how limited the effect is in 3.5, I tend not to emphasize it in RP. I mean, mostly the only thing it even does is give you some extra move(unless you get a bunch of full attacks, but in practice that doesn't tend to happen that often, and hardly ever when Hasted). I think if I...

    Funniest Rod of Wonder story..... ever.

    Wings of Flying rule(I have a level 15 fighter with black dragonhide plate and a +2 greatsword of wounding and blackdragon-skull helm...when he uses his enlarge headband and flies, people (NPCs) think he's a demon (naturally he uses the bat style wings) :D). I suggest crafting a headband or...

    Funniest Rod of Wonder story..... ever.

    You might also look into constructing one of the dragon constructs from the Draconomicon. They're a bit better in general than the shield guardian. If you like dragons, that is :p Alternatively to the guardian you could do a stone golem if your DM approves and you can figure out how to raise...

    Paladins and the Mentally Instable People that Play Them

    Sounds like this person's problem has little do to with D&D and everything to do with being a religious zealot.

    Best Books of Traps, Tricks, and Jokes?

    I recently got a copy of Traps & Treachery I, great book. I haven't had a chance to use any of the >CR 1 traps yet though.

    Play-by-post/online play: Experiences?

    That's true of any D&D game. I'd say yes. I've done my own campaign in ORPG for over 2 years now, and it started after another that had gone for 4 years concluded(I played in). But as with all D&D, people actually have to want to show up and play.

    Torture! (That works, you didn't say, "While remaining LG." :p )

    Construct a Shield Guardian and ride in its head.

    No Second Edition Love?

    I started with 2e, before kits were around. I have a fairly large amount of nostalgia regarding this period (I think it has something to do with the prevalence of "fluff" in 2e vs. in 3e). I have no delusions regarding the breakdown of 2e over time (Skills & Powers I recall really started to...

    Wizard of the Coast Updated Product Listing!

    I like the looks of everything except the large FR adventure (just don't need it at the moment).

    Dungeon 144

    Ah, my mistake :D I've never used it myself (typically don't get games into Epic, and BD&D is before my time). This version of it might see use in my game, though I like the Bilewretch a lot more (and am doing a large Underdark trek IMC soon so...). This is still the case (sorry about the...

    Dungeon 144

    Er, I have mine now(as of yesterday, in fact). What do you guys want to know? Here's a quick rundown on what in there: Three adventures, one is a Forgotten Realms lowish level one, the mid level one is an Adventure Path (dunno which one) which has some really neat Underdark/cavern creatures...

    Suggestions for Underdark Encountera

    Dungeon #144's Adventure Path has a few really cool Underdark monsters(my fav. is the big white insect thing with the freaky squid head (somewhat illithid-ish. It's like the illithid's answer to the Drider or something hehe)). MMIII has the void-mind template which is fun(used it to great...

    What's Wrong with Virtual Tabletop Play?

    QFT. People that say "I'd rather have no hobby at all than use a VT!!!!" without having had to go without OR having used such a thing with a reliable and experienced group don't know what they're talking about.

    The need for social skills in D&D

    I usually play it a couple of ways. If the player wants to RP their speech, but their character is basically incapable of such a display, I make them roll anyway (and when I play, I hold to this myself: e.g. my CHA 8 level 15 fighter can't make a speech for crap, even though I can, so I always...
