    Mercurial Weapons -- good idea or bad idea?

    All the weapons you listed above usually have a wooden shaft. This allows the wielder to slide his/her hand up along the shaft in oder to compensate for the balance point when bringing the weapon back to a guard position. While the balance point is stationary, the wielder's hands are not...

    Adren will call back, "Aye, Gholog!" and head down towards the copper sheets. While walking over, Adren will carefully search for any tracks other than Ghologs. Once he arrives at the sheets, he will do a thorough search for any tracks.

    Hey, I'm new!

    Welcome to the boards! For sorcerors/sorceresses I find it best to work from a theme. This could be something like an element (fire sorceress, ice, sonic, etc), a seductress/manipulator (Charm person, suggestion, dominate, etc), a master of travel (expeditious retreat, levitate, fly, teleport...

    I think the plan was for Gholog to continue climbing and we would follow those tracks. I thought someone had a spider climb or something, though, to make it a lot easier. Adren has Feather Fall in case he falls..... The impression I got was that Gholog wouldn't be able to make the climb all...

    I agree, Gholog, it doesn't sound that urgent. I think it best we continue tracking before the tracks become too difficult to follow. What do you think?

    d20 Mass Combat! Thanks Skip and Monte!!

    I think he's more referring to the fact that as ex-employees of WotC, it is unlikely they are in-the-loop as far as future releases go. Even Skip (who, as you know, was an employee until very recently) is under an NDA and can't legally tell Monte what WotC has in the works. Now, I may be...

    Re: Jason Master Perhaps it might be best just to use one scroll and send the strongest one of us up? By the looks of it, that would mean you, Gholog. The climber could then anchor a rope for us to climb. I can indeed slow our fall, Jason. I can use it but three times before I am spent...

    Dual-wielding Slings?

    The Sage has ruled that Ambidex can be used with ranged weapons, but TWF cannot. The only mention in the PHB is in the Crossbow section, but the FAQ goes over it.

    (Not again!) How's this sorcerer's spell list look?

    You should really consider taking Dispel Magic. Dispel Magic + Tank and/or Rogue can open any door even if it's Arcane locked, so unless the group has no other means of opening mundane doors, Knock is nigh useless if you have Dispel Magic. That's the only thing that jumps out at me right now...

    Adren will take a careful look around. Is there any evidence someone else used proper equipment to climb the wall? Tool marks, impressions, scuffed tracks to indicate delayed time here, anything? If there isn't any evidence for an attempted climb, Adren will say: There is no evidence of...

    What are your top 5 D20 Companies

    1. Green Ronin: Shaman's Handbook is excellent. The Grimoires' are handy. The Witch's Handbook is already pre-ordered. From what I've heard/seen (reviews, etc) some of their other supplements have been hit or miss (Assassins, frex). 2. Fiery Dragon: Great adventures, excellent pimping...

    Acmite's PCs: Vol 1. Oren Solarian

    Background: The times were good in the small town of Highvale. The small market bustled with activity as the local farmers and merchants chatted and laughed while they sold their wares, preparing for the coming winter. The harvest had been surprisingly good considering the scarce rainfall the...

    Acmite's PCs: Vol 1. Oren Solarian

    Hmmm...well, this post is well overdue. It's unlikely I'll be able to post a follow-up to this one for at least 2 weeks, but I figured I might as well post his background. Some of it is clearly pseudo-derivative (can you have a "clearly pseudo-something"?) of George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice...

    I say we follow the tracks to the east. See here--this set of tracks suggests goblinoids and maybe some humans or halflings. The other set is fresher, but the old ones are more interesting by far. We can always come back and try to track the fresh set if the old set is a dead end. But, I do...

    Calgary Gamers! (or Alberta Gamers!) Introduce yourselves!

    It was in the West End. On 95th ave, about 156th street. I don't remember when it closed down, but it was between '92 and '94 I think. When I was a youngin' (~junior high circa 90-93), it was my main RPG source. I got my first ever RPG stuff there--dice (I still have the first set I ever...
