    The fail a save on a 1 item is hurt controversy!

    Icebear. Like I said... I never played that way... not in 20+ years.. net even as a kid. Disintegrate has always been the "Bang you're Dead" spell. In every novel I have ever read, and all the FR Novels, when someone is disintegrated they and everything on them go POOF. If you need info or a...

    The fail a save on a 1 item is hurt controversy!

    Hey I am not saying magic items and such don't get a save... they should. I just have to be totally shocked at the idea that Disintegrate only effects the person and not their gear. I never even imagined playing the game that way and I am amazed is all. The magic items would get a save and...

    The fail a save on a 1 item is hurt controversy!

    I edited my post. I'm willing to listen here. I SERIOUSLY want to know if DM's out there are allowing Equipment to survive the death of the owner by spells and abilities that cause massive damage or disintegration. Such as: Ancient Dragon breathes fire for 300 damage which melts stone and...

    The fail a save on a 1 item is hurt controversy!

    Yeah I copped a 'tude. Forgot to crop that for "This" forum. Too much paste and cut. Anyways... WOW. I am truly staggered. People have complained about 3E being all about munchkinism and such and I have always argued against that. If DM's allow Peoples Equipment to survive spells like...

    The fail a save on a 1 item is hurt controversy!

    :confused: Ok. I have just realized many people are under some strange impressions by misreading the DMG. I could be the wrong one, but bear with me here. In the DMG it talks about items not being damaged by spells unless a 1 is rolled on a save when they are in someones possession. I got...

    Shapechange is HOW Epic?

    That Skip Williams eratta to shapechange is CRAP. No more than 15 HD? RRRIIIGGGHHHHTTTTTT. Since shapechange is 9th level the minimum caster level is 17 which is already over that. Stupid call. Anyways... HD limit of Caster level +5 or 10 might be doable. I was just worried about the silly...

    Shapechange is HOW Epic?

    First... the Black Hole was a joke folks... come on! Second, this is a real question for DM's who have higher level campaigns! I am running a 17th level campaign now and Shapechange is available, though nobody has used it. Scary stuff. Limits... I wonder if WOTC has anything to say about it?

    Shapechange is HOW Epic?

    What you can turn into out of the Epic Book if the spell remains as is will destroy any high level game. Look at the stats on a Sirrush! Or a Black Slaad. OR a Mithral Golem. Great Googly Moogly! Devastation Beetle: AC 72, SR 60, Str 42 Dex 31 Con 46, Plus Trample and Acid Cloud. This...

    Shapechange is HOW Epic?

    All right. The power level of D&D goes into the Stratosphere now, even if you hate the Epic Rules. So... what is the limit of shapechange now? Could someone become an Ancient Force Dragon? A Mithral Golem? WHAT?!?!?! If they can... then a 17th level Mage can be as powerful as a CR 45 or...

    Tracy Hickman's view of the Dragon #300 sealed section

    Could Tracy have overreacted any more? No. Grow up Tracy and all the fanboys. Mature material in a..... GASP..... Adult Game! My youngest player is 35. You babies can go cry to your mommas. We like mature ideas and material.

    Dragon 300 a bad idea

    I think Dragon 300 is a GREAT idea. We need more "mature" material as MANY of us are over 18 and mature. The idea that this material has anything to do with Real-Life terrorism shows the Immaturity of the people who said it. Freedom. People cry terrorism and then decry Freedom by making...

    More lay-offs at WOTC! [Merged]

    True. I would not want my concience to interfere with my decisions! I mean business and dollars Is God. Why can't I get that through my head? I would hate for emotions and empathy to enter my thoughts. I should accept the capitalistic evil of making people into numbers. It's only business...

    More lay-offs at WOTC! [Merged]

    I think too many Americans are SO used to Corporate EVIL that they are complacent. Who cares if they let go everyone who helped create 3E? Who cares if all the Real Thinkers are gone? Who cares if THE SAGE is out of a job? I mean really.... who cares? Well I do. I'm pissed about it. I'm...

    Charge and Sneak Attack Questions!

    Well I read it. Reread it. Read it again. It's just worded like crap is all. I got it now thanks.

    Charge and Sneak Attack Questions!

    All right. First... Charge is a Standard action? This means that you can take a move Eq. action, such as Moving, THEN Charge? I guess I never noticed and thought charge was a full round action. Second, sneak attack cannot effect anyone with any concealment at all? This means that in a...

    Threads that go Klunk!

    :) Hi all. I enjoy a good row now and then but the truth is that there is NO real anything "Bad" between Nutkin and EN! Come on! Almost ALL of us post in both places, and Most of us started HERE on the Eric/then EN boards. It's silly to think there is animosity... just some joking around...

    Nutkinland is for people with open minds, and above 100 IQ's. YMMV

    [OT] In memory...

    I too lost my brother James, when he was 20. I feel deeply for you. I am 33 now and it still comes up in my mind, but not as much now. The pain is lessened and I believe my brother James went to a better place. I hope you can believe that for your brother. Senseless death is something that...
