Arbitrary in the extreme. I find the mid levels (11+) provide the most fun but it really comes down to plot and circumstances. I have had great fun all the way to the low twenties but have never had any fun at much less than fifth. We usually start all of our campaigns at fifth.

I vote Comp War because it covers the most material all at once with Comp Arc and Comp Adv coming in second and third. Comp Divine is the least useful in my opinion given the huge Greyhawk-specific nature of it all.

We use them for every battle but not for role-playing.

I am pretty much happy with D&D and FR in particular. I rarely use any non-WotC stuff but hat is just my group. As much as I appreciate the efforts of most of the decent d20 publisher (Green Ronin, Malhavoc, etc.) I just don’t use it because it sometimes interferes or interacts negatively with...

I can't imagine anyone not picking Opportunist! Wow. I once had a rogue 13 with a +1 deadly precision vicious short sword who would dish out +10d6 with a flank and Opportunist. For bonus cheese the druid would cast snake's swiftness to give the minotaur (reach) an immediate attack giving me the...

I played AD&D for the first time when I was 13 around a small card table in my friend’s room. I am about to turn 30 in five days. I have only thing to say. I have played more D&D since the new edition came out than I had ever played in all of the previous editions and years combined. I strongly...

Done and done. Thank you. I don't know they will ever meet him but I intend to use the shadow communication all the time to mess with their heads. He runs a brothel and gambling house where he gives young succubae the opportunity to hone their skills while collecting information to blackmail the...

Advanced Shadoloth - This one is for Pants. Thanks for the perfect fiend for my new campaign. Here a unique shadoloth that works for Shar from Faerun through drow worshippers (i.e. he is bringing them knowledge of the Shadow Weave). What I am hoping the gang can do is help me come up with an...

I award experience whenever the party rests for at least eight hours. In other words when they camp. I allow them to level up whenever that happens to be with the reasoning being that they have those hours to contemplate their actions and discuss them with one another. Most players and thus...

I use them for inspiration, NPCs, and traps. By NPCs I really mean monsters (template and advancement type stuff I don't have time to do myself) but that wasn't an option. By traps I mean to see how the big published names handle traps at high level. BTW...The Lorax. LOL!. That rules as an avatar!

Dragon Eater CR 21 Since when can you take Imp Init three times. Oh. It should be higher. I'd say 27. EDIT: Wow. I didn't notice how old this was. Sorry. Trolling for monsters!

I just now saw the baernaloth. Thought I would check here first before doing it myself. Good work. Thanks in spade. Since I have some extra time on my hands I thought I might ask if anyone needed anything. I'm in the low 20's with my game right now so I am working on some stuff to fill the gap...

Levels! I want levels! Levels, and feats, and skills, oh my!

I play FR with a heavy planar influence so I voted FR. Really I take from all the WotC books but largely ignore anything else (even Dragon doesn't get used much anymore).

I don't mind them much. Could sometimes ruin the flavor of a campaign. Like I might say okay if we are in an Underdark campaign but not in a Cormyr game unless there was a good reason. Have only seen maybe three psionic characters since 3rd edition but never before then. We have a game coming up...

Pretty much standard 3rd edition. However I often describe then with all of the above when it fits the nature of the game and to keep things fresh. Luck me FR has like three types of orcs so everything works out. If I had to do it myself I would do it like they did in Dragonlance and the High...

I voted 50/50 because at this point I don't count anything before 3rd. In previous editions it was all male. Now since FR is fairly neutral with respect to gender (at least it is now, but that is another thread with flame resistance 30) I play whatever my twisted mind can imagine.

I have had one character scribe a few scrolls once in a game in all the years 3rd has been. Rarely enough I would say. Item feats lose out to the Thayans in most FR games anyway. Item shops have grown in number over the years.

Since I mostly DM does it count that I ran a game from 1st to 23rd over three years that is only in hiatus waiting for a friend to finish his downtime after a year in Iraq? Doesn't help that most of our games in between that time and since my friend left for Iraq last year that have started at...

Because that would be crazy. They are called players for a reason. It would be like opening Pandora's Box or something.
