I believe (in this context) DMPC = a NPC built just like a PC would be built and traveling with the party, etc. Companion = a NPC built using the companion NPC rules (a very streamlined set of level + bonus numbers -- very similar to monster charts but slightly different). The first one is...

Similar to corwyn77's experience, I don't find them less balanced. The difference is that they are less complicated/detailed than full PC stats giving two main benefits: a) easier to build (no worrying about feats etc, it takes me 10 minutes or less to build a companion that is very much very...

after ages of not enjoying saturday morning cartoons anymore, suddenly, my saturday morning is suddenly getting a lot of cartoons to watch... (The New) Thundercats 9:30 - okay, i'll admit, my interest in this has gone down dramatically but it's still fun for nostalgia if nothing else Young...

If anyone wants to see it: Hulu - Saturday Night Live: Cold Opening: Mitt Romney Campaign that specific reference starts around the 3minute 2 second mark and lasts about 20 seconds (though, no need to go out of your way to see it, it isn't life changing or anything like that....)

For new/unique monsters, if I were the DM, I'd apply a circumstance modifier to the DC (+2 to +5 or something depending on the true uniqueness of the situation). But even then, different creature types have things in common and using that as a baseline, somoene who knows information about the...

It was a preview only available for that weekend. Only a couple weeks until it shows for real, so not that long to wait for anyone that missed it (or for watching again ;) ).

teenagers (and younger) are generally allowed. but a store might have some specific policy for whatever reason -- which, however, is probably rare since it defeats the 'business purpose' of having store events in the first place. if you don't feel like asking in person (if you're feeling shy...

agreed - was watching it yesterday. loved the original series so was anxious to see this one and it looks like they set it up to be a bit more, well, urban and localized. they definitely kept the same world but changed enough that it won't feel like the same series all over again with just a...

I can't quote the page source but I don't think I'm imagining it (though I guess that's always a possibility) but I'd swear in the DMG it actually says this specifically -- that the DM could consider it a milestone after one encounter if it's particularly difficult, or not consider it a...

i am saying this from memory but i think * (as Locutus Zero said) you could have someone use a power on it that lets it heal, which would use up one of your healing surges. So a healing word from a cleric or even your own healing word that you get as a sentinel. Or any other power that someone...

i agree in that you shouldn't cater to it if it isn't a style your group already does. having said that, what your campaigns take on raise dead stuff -- maybe if he dies, there is still the chance of him coming back to life in a big dramatic way --- maybe he's secretly a child or a god or...

Hmmm... some ideas (not all would work well together though.. so pick and choose) 1) Explain to the DM that you don't want to be such a flake and therefore rather than being assumed "in" until you are called out, you want to be assumed as a no show and if you show up last minute then great you...

so..... party at artur's house to celebrate the geek-ery? :) what is a geek party like anyway? a d20 gets you in the door? :)

make up a very basic zombie template and apply it to different things... (something as simple as immune to poison and disease, resist 5 necrotic, speed reduced by 2 -- these are things that you can easily and effortlessly apply to an existing stat block without changing up their difficulty)...

for a romantic sort of person, love is something you feel, not something you are told that you feel. if you don't feel it, yet someone else keeps saying that you do, would you not want to rediscover yourself first to understand whether or not you do really feel it? having said that, sure, it...

It depends 1) What is the extent of the restrictions (is it just restricting races, or is it restricting races and classes and other stuff to the point where i feel like i can't make something that i'd want to play) 2) What is the reason for the restrictions (is it for flavor/setting reasons...

what gyor said is what i was going to say, but one small correction to his post. The multiclass feat he mentioned from divine power is actually called "Divine Channeler"

One possibility is to switch your perspective on this. They can't get it because they are undead, but rather, they can get it because they are still (partially) human(/elf/gnome/whatever)! Sure, they are partially undead too, which allows the lich to control/influence them, but the fact that...

this question makes me sad.

time to break out the foil hats! :D
