Names have included: -Heroes of Labalna -Old Goose Gang (we hang out at the Old Goose Inn) but in one campaign, we were constantly taunted by enemies as the "Filthy Mammals" and that name stuck.

Although there are probably better classes like SpellThief, Arcane Trickster, or something else, I did a simple halfling rog/diviner once. Simple divining spells including true strike, detect magic, read magic, detect poison, etc. helped to better equip the rogue when he employed his skills...

One more thing to continue that idea to ensure the right balance for you and that PC...if he is flanked, what happens? Again, the 50%/50% could work...he knows how to fight and protect the appropriate side unless he is flanked. Full immunity in normal mono-e-mono, but 50/50 when flanked. On the...

Complete Arcane spells ARE included, whereas the Complete Mage spells ARE NOT.

Do your players typically declare and resolve their actions on their turn, knowing the outcome of the previous players; or does anyone make all the players declare their characters' actions (initiative order) and then go back and resolve each one, not knowing the outcome? Do any gaming systems...

Well, I did an encounter in an old lumber camp...the enemies were spriggan gnomes, one being a sniper with a poisoned crossbow. I had some of the others use their enlarge ability to start tossing barrels of oil around and then the smaller ones used their produce flame ability to add to the...

Thanks...got them. They appear to be a very good resource. We will see how I do with them.

You guys have all seen the thing they are prototyping at Carnegie-Mellon, right? Its the tabletop touch screen designed for D&D playing? I believe it's called Surfacescapes using Microsoft Surface technology.

The Luck Domain is good...granted power is a reroll once per day. Our cleric has used this feature quite well. Luck, Protection, and Strength also seem to have good domain spells for buffing.

Technically, the character is an insulator...neither moves through easily. However, it's not really written like that in D&D. This may complicate things, but if the player is hellbent on having both and you think it's too much, make the character half-n-half. One side can resist heat (by...

I don't mean to stray off the original topic, but have you considered Force Missiles? Folks gave some mixed opinions on this forum. I and recently used them in a large combat situation to decent effect...blinded creatures on the left began to huddle closely. The force missile was nice because...

I think another issue on spell choices is that Assay Spell Resistance and True Casting affects the your spells only. However, if you use Spell Vulnerability, and they fail the save, anyone's spells can affect the target and the duration is 1 minute per level. Depending on how many and what...

Oh, man...I must be on to something or I am totally cliche. That is exactly what I was going for. I will just change the McGuffin. Thanks, again. I will be investing in some Daring Tales it looks like.

Yeah...I have seen Triple Ace Games...and I do own Savage Worlds, but that particular title I didn't recall. Thanks for the tip. I am looking to use the Hollow Earth Expedition gaming system, but I don't mind mixing and matching rules if need be.

I liked the 2nd Blade movie concept where there were vampires and then there were really bad vampires and the typical vampires needed help destroying the really bad vampires. The really bad vampires had some nasty virus that was turning them into horrid, ultra-violent supervampires...kinda like...

Okay...let's start with the first question...why, oh why, Weapon Finesse? Cuz I didn't know any better. Actually, my original concept was for this character to be in melee a lot more than what he is--more of a Battlecaster or Warmage concept. I didn't really know of those yet, though. We started...

Thanks again for the great input. As far as the contradiction with the use of the term (rainbow), Foxwander, "Rainbow" spells simply represent the various energies by the different colors. It just happens to be that only damage has been the effect. There are only a couple of rainbow spells as it...

I am running a pulp adventure and would like to include an encounter (preferrably a chase which ends up with a small combat thrown in) on a train. Any ideas on how to run a chase scene and make it fast paced? Any examples out there from certain adventures that I could look to? Cast of...

8th level sorcerer--looking at a new feat at level 9. Now don't get mad at me, but I don't have any metamagic feats yet which are prerequisites for several other metamagic feats. I have several ranged touch and melee touch attack spells. Suggestions? Current feats include: Combat Casting...

Thanks for the spellguard ring suggestion...that may work well.
