    Do you like storms?

    One of the things I really miss about living in Wisconsin is watching the thunderheads roll across the open farmland in the summer. Oh yeah. I likes me a thunderstorm. :)

    Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

    "Hmm. Maybe the back door will be a little friendlier," Krikit suggests. "Let's go have a look." [OOC: Basically I think we should just "case" the whole place before doing anything. Then we can bring useful information back to the others.]

    How many D&D/d20/OGL PDF's have you bought?

    I chose 15, but honestly I'm not sure. Free PDFs and paid-for PDFs all go into my big "bucket o' PDFs" on my hard drive. :) It's at least 15, many of them the short variety.

    Cave of the Spiders OOC

    Sweet! The halfling's all up in their faces! :) You will be the proud recipient of two readied attacks (since they're standing in a circle around you that's the most you can manage). And a happy b-day to D20Dazza!

    Cave of the Spiders OOC

    Jdvn1: Just to clarify: The bugbears (other then the one that attacked Ery) have all done a Ready action. They're waiting for you to close. Are you doing the same? You can easily close with one of them (which will fire their readied action) and attack. If you don't, they'll eventually get...

    Older games you'd love to see an update for.

    Lemmings Man I love that game. I can't believe I can't find it for the PC. I'd gladly play the old low-tech-graphics version, but a new one with spiffier graphics would be cool.

    Seeking Practical Advice on...Symbol Spells

    Actually I just re-read the description and the caster can specify that the symbol is triggered just by being looked at (as opposed to read). The triggering creature still has to be within 60 feet, though.

    Stat requirements

    In my game I would allow it, but of course you lose access to any feats you don't currently qualify for. So if you lose that headband, you lose Combat Expertise and any feats that depend on it (like Improved Trip). I figure if the player really wants to build his character on a house of cards...

    Cave of the spiders - Newbie PbP GM

    Girble tries to hurry safely down the rope ladder to confront the archers circling its base, but between trying to avoid arrows and climbing with only one hand, he misses a rung and crashes to the ground 15 feet below. He is surrounded by three bugbears with longbows, each about 10 feet away...

    Seeking Practical Advice on...Symbol Spells

    No, I maintain that it can be visible before it is legible. I'm not separating them arbitrarily, but simply assuming you can see a letter/glyph/word from a greater distance than you can actually read it. Now that's a reason I can get behind. I'm still not sure I would rule the same way, but...

    What flavor are sorcerers in your campaign?

    I also give them Eschew Materials and add Use Magic Device as a class skill. I also allow sorcerers to use an alternate casting mechanic called Unlimited Mana. It's actually a GURPS option created by S. John Ross, but I've adapted it to d20 and all my NPC sorcerers use it. There are no PC...

    Seeking Practical Advice on...Symbol Spells

    Yes, and in my example, it's technically possible that I'm female and not human, but common sense would seem to indicate otherwise. :) Without going into a whole discussion of Boolean logic, I'll say this: I can certainly see normal text a lot farther away than I can read it. In my game, you...

    EN World Pigskin Pick'em (Updated 12.27.05 - Week 16 results posted)

    Why? Just because you can't win the whole enchilada doesn't mean you shouldn't play. By that logic, none of us would play RPGs ;)

    Seeking Practical Advice on...Symbol Spells

    Hmm. I have to disagree with Infiniti's logic here: Just because the symbol is not visible AND legible does not mean the the symbol is not visible OR legible. Just because I am not human AND female does not mean that I am not human OR female. Boolean logic for fun and profit.

    My dex is no good, either, but Combat Reflexes lets you take your one AoO even when flat-footed (like when you're laughing at a post from Rel). So it's worth it to me. When I hit 6th level I'll take Stand Still so I can make people stop in my office doorway. PS: Too funny. I just pulled a...

    I took Combat Reflexes. It gives me an extra AoO to minimize my browser when I'm reading the boards and somebody walks into my office. :D

    Cave of the spiders - Newbie PbP GM

    I was hoping to hear from Ferrix, but we'll forge on without him for now. Girble continues down the swaying rope ladder as quickly as he can, using only one hand. As he reaches the point where the ladder emerges from the ceiling below he suddenly hears a gutteral shout and feels searing pain...

    LA+1. Can you be a 0-level character?

    What flavor hit die would you have? Would you get another one at 1st level (making you a 2 hit die creature)? If you're a humanoid you could take a d8 (that being the base humanoid die) but then what if your 1st level is in wizard? Do you lose hit points? These are the kinds of questions to...
