AEG has a couple of non-cleric healer variants in Secrets. Called Chaplains (there are two variants), the first is a field medic and the second specialises in longterm care. They have an average BAB, good Fort and Will saves, and receive abilities such as Healing Touch (a full-round action to...

Alas, Tom Cruise will rake in the big bucks while a probably superior film will fall by the wayside.

That's pretty much the responce I'd give. The only time I go easy vis-a-vis PC death is if I'm the cause (ie, I goofed by throwing something way too powerful at the party without an in-game hint, accidentally made a DC too high, etc).

26 and I've been playing half my life. In fact, almost 13 years to the day (well, month [March], I can't remember what day I started playing).

My biggest problem with skill points and NPCs is that I either have too many skill points or not enough. With PCs, there are never too many skill points. :lol:

I was pleased with the series; it is certainly better than the 3.0 splatbooks. I voted for the Complete Divine, although it must be said that I've gotten into clerics and favoured souls recently (undead heavy campaign). I really enjoyed the warlock, scout and swashbuckler, and I was especially...

Someone made the comment that HLP was a writer's writer, which is very true. His literary criticisms were excellent and his skill as an editor meant that many writers and would-be writers sought his advice (August Derleth, Robert Bloch, etc). However, these skills were never successfully...

I generally DM. In the last campaign in which I was a player, I began as an elf and finished as a dwarf (due to the elf's death, not magic - or surgery!)

Thanks, I'll take a look.

I'm hoping to run a D20 Masque of the Red Death sometime in late February for my local gaming group. In preparation, I'm trying to find some character sheets but am hitting a brick wall. (I'm no good a designing my own sheets.) Has anyone seen MotRD character sheets - decent or otherwise -...

I like this. I may have to import it into my campaign :)

The first 3.0 game I DMed, the party bought a mule and named it Lucky. (The die used to represent Lucky on the battlemat was a player's lucky die throughout 2nd Ed.) Lucky survived fireballs, poison needle traps, rampaging trolls and the BBEG Mran. Even when half of the party lay dead on the...

That's quite true. I recently began DM RttToH for my players. Everyone built PCs from scratch whilst I offered suggestions regarding usefulness of feats/skills/classes/PrC/spells/etc. While ultimately it was up to the players to take or discard my advice, we managed to avoid some potential...

I'm currently playing a LG dwarven evoker.

I bought it and am disappointed that I did so. I can't wait for Complete Adventurer.

The suspension of disbelief required by SF is considerably less than that required by fantasy literature. For instance, Frankenstein, the earliest English-language SF novel, is highly plausible IN ACCORDANCE WITH EARLY NINETEENTH-CENTURY SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE. The reanimation of dead flesh via...

The Gates of Dhar - a pair of huge dwarven-built stone doors (500ft high, 50ft wide and 30 feet deep) which separate the Ara Desert from the Green Lands. The Hall of the Ancients - the ancestral Thing (assembly) of the mountain dwarves. The Bridge of Forh - an elven-built bridge, constructed...

I permitted evil PCs for a brief period. However, those who attempted to play evil characters ended up trying to out-kill one another (someone else in this thread mentioned attemtps to rake up the highest dead granny count - that's what happened to me). Since that time, I've disallowed evil...
