    "Classic" Dragon Articles

    I really liked the article that introduced half-ogres as a playable race. We used them as PCs and some wicked NPCs

    Poll: Do you allow non-slotted CWI items?

    We use what we call the "Charm Slot". It's where you put your broach of shielding, token of Fortunate fate etc. It's not so much a realistic slot (ie gloves) it's a practical limitation on MIs.

    XCrawl Character Build ??s

    Hey Folks! The Source in MN is holding an Xcrawl competition that will be 8 sessions long this summer. My weekly group is going to enter the competition and we were looking at character design. We'd like to use our group (LSIG) but they would be converted to Xcrawl PCs. You can use core 3.5...

    AU meets FR

    Does your group use both 3.5 spells and the AU spells depending on class? I think my DM wants to replace 3.5 spells.

    AU meets FR

    Is there an AU class analogous to the Barbarian? It sounds as if the Warmain is a barbarian without special abilities. How about an AU ranger? I know Monte Cook had an alternate ranger that the 3.5 ranger really resembles. It sounds as if the AU classes don't completely replace PHB classes, am I...

    AU meets FR

    Mystic Theurge isn't our bag anyway. Are Warmains spellcaster/fighters or are they just plain fighters. I have an idea what the unfettered is.

    AU meets FR

    Do the AU classes fill all the niches of the core classes? Are they able to prep properly for core prestige classes?

    Build a fortress to withstand almost anything

    Look at a permanent Dimensional Lock to prevent Dimension Door/teleport spells! It is the least you could do.

    How do you use pdf's

    I use PDFs to copy and paste when I make custom spell lists. I also use the maps from PDFs as handouts for players. I like reading PDFs as some good inspiration and some of the good old FR products are only available as PDFs.

    AU meets FR

    Thanks! I remember him mentioning the one up/one down spell business. I'm planning on a Rashemaar Barbarian, so that doesn't really effect me....

    AU meets FR

    My DM has expressed an interest in using Arcana Unearthed's spell system and character classes in the latest iteration of our long standing 3.0 FR campaign. We were already planning to switch to 3.5 and incorporate some alternative PC races, so some change was expected. He's sent us some emails...

    MN Looking for Game in Twin Cities, Minnesota (Multiple Game Systems)

    I am looking for a Midnight, Star Wars, or Conan game in the Twin Cities. I live in Roseville and already have a weekly group, so I don't have to play every week. I have significant experience in RPG games and am fairly easy to get along with :) !

    Players creating new spells?

    I think the reason is just a little more practical and real world. What if the PHB did contain all the spells ever written in GH? We've seen the 2e tomes of spells and they were amazing to behold! I think the designers went through and tried to get the "critical for gameplay" spells included and...

    A crapload of new users?

    Delurker here! I've been reading wisdom for over a year now and I'm ready to contribute.

    Really great dice?

    IMC, three of us have the small dwarven stones made or agate, hematite, and a toothpaste colored stone. We've found that the d20s aren't exactly balanced. On the colgates, the 19 comes up 12.1% of the time and the 2 around 11%. I think the new metal ones are much better balanced.

    Is D&D too complicated?

    Computer RPGs (many times) have more than 970+ pages of rules. All the rules aren't presented when you first start the game. Case in Point: Neverwinter Nights. It's a great PC game that's based largely on 3.0 rules. The manuals are :):):):)e and they don't even explain spell effects. You are...

    Best location in the Realms

    Why not the Moon Sea? A campaign based there has a stunning number of ports o' call! It coud be straight up Sembia one minute, then some crazy Witch Queen action in Aglorand the next. I think the Moonsea area definitly blends the FR setting into an easily navigated whole. It's not for DMs that...

    Really great dice?

    I've had Gamescience dice since I was ten. They are lighter than Chessex/koplow/armory but they have sharp edges! I like the "filling in with a crayon" aspect since I can change colors to suit the campaign, but I keep the same old warrior dice.

    Dragon Magazine/George RR Martin Issue...

    I wonder why one of the larger d20 folks coudn't pick this up? I've heard they do wonderful Anime based games, but GoT is so very different than Helsing. Maybe the license was inlcuded with the card game?
