    The optimal number of participants (player AND DM)!

    I like six so there is room for the character concepts/classess. For example you could add a druid or bard and not hurt the needed four (cleric, combatant, arcane spell user, trap/lock fixer). The real deciding factor is just how much lime light each player needs. If every one in your group...

    multi-prestige classes

    I base my restrictions on multiclass on if it fits both the character as played, my world, and the story. It must fit all three or it is not allowed. Since it is customary in my group to get approval for Prc at or near character creation I have a lot to leadway to fit things in or tell the...

    Having multiple familairs???

    Or use the feat that gives an additional familiar (Tome & Blood FIRC). That way a 3rd Level Human Wizard can have 3 familiars all using his own character level for special abilities. At 6th he can have 3 normal and 1 improved familiar. Sound intresting.

    IQ to INT equivalent

    I going to assume you were responding to me. No, but it is only partialy related to IQ. I have to good example in my life by simply comparing two of my sisters. One was a lot smarter then the other. If you gave both of the a problem to solve that involed something the both know and the...

    IQ to INT equivalent

    As far as my take on D&D Int vs IQ. I don't think they are comparable. IQ is suppose to be a general overall mental ability rating. D&D Int seems more related to the skill learning and applying what you have learned to every day situations. It does not mean that you are better then some one...

    Which fighting style does your fighter use?

    The only fighter I played so far went 2-weapon; Sword & Board; and 2-handed. In all cases he uses bastard swords, and changed as the situation demanded. Why go with only one style when flexibility is the fighters strong point? All of the above only use a human fighters 1st level feats. (less...

    Cheap mounts, for rent, magical

    Yes, for a modern example look at the american rental car busines. Renting for short period is cheaper if land is very costly (common in cities), you are there for short periods and arrive/depat by ship, your own horse is injured/sick/or other wise unavailble. There are other reasons that...

    Familiars: Does EVERYONE take the toad?

    First toad don't like being wet, thats frogs. Now for something OT. My favorite familiar was a humming bird. It small size and speed made it excellent for delivering touch spells to friend and foe alike. Other familiars are better then the toad. +2 to con is not all that great when...

    Magic Item XP cost?

    I don't have a good in game reason. I just leave it as unexplained. It does have a metagame reason. It helps control the magic level of the game. The first campain we started with 3ed our wizard made lots of items but fell almost 3 levels behind. The lost of levels was only partly made up by...

    Arcane spell failure outmoded ?

    From the SRD: Arcane Spell Failure: Armor interferes with the gestures that are needed to make to cast an arcane spell. Casting an Arcane Spell in Armor: When casting an arcane spell while wearing armor, a character must make an arcane spell failure roll. The number in the Arcane Spell Failure...

    GMing DragonStar

    I have ran a Dragonstar campain for a few months. Some observations. 1 - The increased amount of varity of equipment needed for survivial means that less then normal amount of money spent on any one item. For example by 5th level most D&D characters will have a magical armor and weapon. In...

    Debate: Melee/Unarmed combat Versus Ranged Combat?

    I prefer mixed fighters. For example one that carries both a Comp Longbow and a Bastard sword. Alternating between melee and missile feats each time he gets one. Give me a lot more flexibility and does not put me at a major disadvantage in any common situation.

    Bad House Rules

    Here is the worst one I have played with. Wizards could create chargable items. With the use of a feat any one could use them as unlimited use items by paying 100 ex. Not bad but a spell caster with the same feat could use a 1st level spell to use the item. If the item had a duration you...

    Spellfire ? (my players stay out yo)

    My two cents worth: No. Charisma is used only for Fortude Save when required. Spellfire is affected by CN bonus just like HP. Since an undead's HP are not affected their chrisma bonus, neither should spellfire or any similar ability.

    I feel like a Munchkin...

    Munchkinism is more of a attitude and behavior problem then character construction problem. A munchkin by the original and true definition includes in mature behavior that is disruptive to the game, ignores other players and other wise create problems for the group as a whole. Building a...
