    SEAL character

    I'd say your Basic SEAL would be more or less a ranger, but if you want to specialize your SEAL character beyond just your stealthy fighter, adding rogue would be good for sneaks, Sorcerer to add in supernatural abilities, like above perhaps druid so you can be a SEAL literally :D , hell a...

    aquatic combat

    I can't quite say I'd be able to answer those (although I agree with the dex thing), But I also have another question: What effect do Sonic based spells have underwater? -Do they get more damage? -or do their range or AOE get enhanced?

    Lolth or Lloth

    Heh, heh, I bet he's allowed to use it now.

    Lolth or Lloth

    :\ This has bugged me since day one. Back during the Vault of the Drow days it was Lolth, but with RA Salvatores use of the name Lloth it rolls off of the tongue better. An old handbook on the drow in the 2E days explained that it was a dialect difference specific with Menzoberranzan, but...

    Smart vs. Intelligence and Combatless Roleplaying Sessions

    I don't think I've ever had a player that would rather solve a riddle/puzzle by a dice rolls alone. Those that had troubleshooting skills such as Knowledge(puzzles) would and could roll, but that wouldn't solve the puzzle for them. What I would do depending on how high the roll was, was to...

    Need some ideas for low level characters to instantaneously travel long distances...

    :\ Hmmmmmmm, perhaps if you have your players cast rope trick while in a rope trick they could get a one way trip to the astral, perhaps from there .... :] if they live.... they may find a way to that distant location they needed to get to.

    How do you explain RPGs to others?

    I usually have two ways of explaining an D&D to someone who is clueless. Option 1 Older people tend to remember the stigma D&D went through, so as soon as they hear it their warning flags are up.. For these people I first ask if they read books...they usually do, so then it's just a matter of...

    GMs: What's your latest module?

    Good to see alot of old stuff being rehashed. Currently I've dusted off Horror on the Hill, and am converting it to 3.25 ;)

    Can a wand be used more than once per round?

    Sounds like it should work, but let's not forget the combat round is supposed to be around 6 seconds You're not going to have 50 wizards drain the wand in one round, but you might get 2-3 wizards to do the trick (assuming that the action of taking and casting is 2 seconds). It's kind of like...

    Is Simulacrum subject to abuse?

    Is Simulacrum subject to abuse? It sure can be. In the past I had a player decide to use a bit of the Tarresque as a component for the simulacrum spell. How'd he get the bits you ask? Well, shrinking himself, putting himself in a resiliant sphere and dangling in front of the tarresque like...

    Mirror Image vs. Cleave

    I don't think I'd really allow the cleave with a mirror image myself. Usually when the fighter takes one down with the cleave, they're expecting and "feeling" the Killing blow, and are able to adjust accordingly. However when a fighter hits a mirror image and readying for the "feeling" of...

    Use of a Wish spell

    I'd have to go with what Andargor suggested. If your spellcaster is trying to pull something that's a little beyond the effects of an 8th level spell. Go ahead and grant the wish but when doing so think this: :] What would an Efreet do??

    What's the best creature for a Halloween themed encounter?

    What's the best creature for a Halloween themed encounter? Zombies, lots and lots of Zombies, fog and darkness. As long as your setting is suspensful without the zombies breaking out into a Michael Jackson induced funky dance you'll be fine.

    Do recreational drugs feature in your campaign?

    I've occasionally had drugs come up in games, but it depends on what's going on and where you are. My last use was the priest (there was no ranger) fudging a foraging roll when the party was out of food and came upon some mushrooms.... :D Other than that, it's the standard Hobbit weed...

    How long have you been a DM?

    That's double of what I've got so far. I've got 13 years, and the last few have been off and on. It's damn hard to play a game when you've got 3 young kids, and shift work with no regularity with hours. :\

    Fireball or Lightning Bolt?

    :D It's been lightning bolt for mee too for as long as I've played. :( I do miss the 2E version though which could bounce back if it hit walls. Angles were so much more fun to play with then.

    Things I've learned from Gaming.

    According to my 4 year old when I explained to him the real reason for Chistmas. After explaining about Jesus raising from the dead, he looked at me in shock and says,"Jesus was a Zombie???!?"

    ...oh no you didn't...

    :D I've usually called them Clerks for fun after a fellow who played with us didn't know how to spell cleric, (he was 18 at the time) and I look at his sheet and it's CLERK. I seem to call them that now as default.

    Hit points at level-up

    I allow both to be raised, it keeps their health at the same ratio it was before they levelled.
