    WOTC Tools Anonymous

    *Here's what my roommate would say* Hello, I'm a WOTC Tool... I love D&D, but only WOTC D&D. I refuse to buy or look at any book not published by WOTC. It doesn't matter how crappy the WOTC book is, or how awesome the other book is, I won't buy it. It doesn't matter to me if the creatures in...

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    Hey, I hear ya Tsyr. ;)

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    Metagaming can be a problem. In the campaign that I'm DMing, I don't allow players to look up stats of monsters, or leaf through random books trying to find a way out of the current situation. They're pretty good about playing under my rules, and metagaming doesn't happen very often as a...

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    You seem to be a very picky DM, Doc. If you didn't insult everyone all the time, I'd be much cooler with you, as I'm all for keeping the players in the dark when necessary, and limiting meta-gaming to the bare minimum. Basically, you think of the DMG as a "DM ONLY" tool, which the players...

    Bluff as feint - do they know?

    I can almost see this both ways. If you withdraw from combat, it's because you generally are afraid of the Rogue, and don't want to get stabbed. You shouldn't withdraw because you know you've been feinted, and thus want to avoid the sneak attack. Of course, it's possible with the nature of...

    Pole Vaulting - what check to use?

    I would probably make this a Tumble check instead of a jump check... with a +2 modifier or something for using the pole to assist. I probably wouldn't make her do a check to "misplace" the pole, but if she fails the tumble check, she'd probably have to make a reflex save to avoid falling in the...

    Dispel Magic - Does a caster know it's been dispelled?

    Ummm... kay what does that stand for?

    Dispel Magic - Does a caster know it's been dispelled?

    Okay... so here's a really stupid question then... This means that if you're in the dark, and you happen to have a "Light" spell cast on your staff - then you mirror image yourself... everyone can tell which one is the real YOU because none of the images give off light. I guess this should be...

    ECL for a Blink Dog?

    Rogue Blink Dog: ARF! ARF! ARF! Party Hears: [Attention! There is a magical "Implosion" trap on this doorway. Wait while I disarm it] *Blink dog pokes the door with his nose a few times and scratches at it a bit* Rogue Blink Dog: ARF! Party Hears: [Okay! All safe!] Party: HUH??

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    Doc, I'd just like to point out that you're wrong when you say that Magic Weapon doesn't bypass DR because it isn't written in the spell description... it IS there. Here's part of the spell description copied from the SRD: Magic weapon gives a weapon a +1 enhancement bonus to attack and damage...

    Do you find the Mystic Theurge overpowered?

    This is basically a prestige class that lets a wizard get the benefits of multiclassing as a cleric, but still advance as a wizard. I don't see why a cleric would take this, they lose hit dice, BAB, stop wearing armor if they want to cast their arcane spells, etc... But for a wizard who wants...

    ECL for a Blink Dog?

    Ummmm.... aside from that being really freaking WEIRD... I mean, how are you going to play a blink dog? Sure they're intelligent, but aside from killing the occasional Displacer Beast... do they care about adventuring at all? ANYWAYS, get Savage Species for more specific info... but you would...

    Funny in-game quotes

    However, this is my all-time favorite quote from a game... it was in Mechwarrior. After a barroom brawl that left 3 people dead, one of the players tries to "blend in" with the crowd, and get away from the scene. When the police catch up to him... Police - "Did you kill that man?" Player -...

    Funny in-game quotes

    (Last Night) As the Player's 6th level double-axe wielding barbarian does a full attack on the 3rd level fighter NPC in front of him... reducing him from 24 hit points to -6 hit points in one round.... DM: Okay... and the fighter wishes that he had damage reduction right about...... now.

    Book of Exalted Deed : Mature ?

    I would guess it makes all sorts of references to things in the BoVD... like what good organizations/people think about prostitution, drugs, slavery, violence and such. It also may detail ways to defeat some of the more evil ceremonies and such in BoVD. I doubt they'd give it "mature" just...

    game politics

    Some campaigns are better, and some DMs are better. Players might like one campaign more than another one simply because they like playing that character more. There's lots of reasons. If your DMs are arguing about who is better, that's pretty immature. I consider myself a pretty good DM...

    3.5 Facings

    I haven't heard any changes to how facing is going to be done in 3.5... Are they just clarifying exactly how much space large creatures take up?

    RoF/T&B/FRCS

    Geez, for crying out loud, you're going even more hardcore fire than the new player in my campaign! He just has energy subsitution (fire) and he's also going for the Elemental Savant class. The headache HE brings to the party is that he also decided to get a fire elemental as a familiar. He...

    Dispel Magic - Does a caster know it's been dispelled?

    Well, as soon as the Obscuring Mist was gone, he got blasted by Spellfire, and taken to 0 HP... so knowing whether or not his mist was dispelled didn't pop up, since he didn't have a chance to recast it. I was also thinking that since mist is generally moist and cold, that he might be able to...
