    Request: Ultimate Adventuring & Dungeoneering Kit

    Tanglefoot bags. There are times when you need to slow or eliminate pursuit without hurting anybody. In fact anything that lets you deal lots of nonlethal damage can be extremely handy. A Merciful weapon or a fireball wand (assuming you can use it) that has nonlethal substitution. EDIT...

    It's the File

    Maybe I'm missing something, but why not just upgrade your reader to the latest version? Is it an OS issue?

    Meh. It's a dead level. No BAB progression, one lousy save goes up and I don't get any class features. That extra hit die will be handy playing football with my kids, though.

    Clearly you type faster than I do. :)

    Which class would you want to be?

    Nope. Sorcerers are fun from 1st level on. Actually if it was an odd character level I might consider switching to wizard for access to the higher spell level... ;)

    Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

    Krikit raises his eyebrows and whistles appreciatively. "I'm impressed. How do you suppose they managed that?" he asks noone in particular.

    Constantine-type character

    I think you've just described the paladin. Detect Evil lets you find the bad-guys (psychic intuition) and you'll eventually get spells. Maybe you can talk the Dm into letting you multiclass paladin and cleric without restriction, or you can plan to go straight cleric after a level or two of...

    Which class would you want to be?

    Me neither, but I'm still fatigued afterwards. What's up with that?

    It usually starts with a dinner party

    Bummer. Maybe he's having technical problems of some kind. I'll keep my subscriptions for a while and hope for the best.

    [Dec.] What are you playing?

    Mojo: So Thousand Year Door is good? I've been thinking about getting it to play with my daughter. We're big Mario Kart Double Dash fans. :) I've dusted off the Temple of Elemental Evil PC game. Buggy, quirky but lots of fun and a great way to try out weird character builds. I'm about ready...

    *sigh* I think this qualifies as my shortest PbP ever. Is Masleh around?

    Which class would you want to be?

    Easy: Sorcerer. I want to do magic, but I don't have time for all that study stuff wizards have to do. Once I can cast Prestidigitation, Mage Hand, Sleep and Charm Person, I'm off to Vegas to live large as a stage hypnotist. :)

    Best race for sorcerer?

    People love an underdog. :) Also, Kobolds are a small race with darkvision and 30 foot movement. You get a lot of the same things you get with a gnome (except for the Con of course) plus that +1 natural armor. I think they're a viable choice. EDIT: Just to clarify, goblins give you a lot of...

    Good wuxia movies?

    Another vote for the Donnie Yen Iron Monkey. Fun, well-acted movie with great effects and excellent action. Also had me laughing out loud several times: "Hey, my kung-fu's pretty good!" :)

    Best race for sorcerer?

    I second the Elf suggestion, actually. A longbow and high dex mean you can be useful when your spells are gone (which is pretty darn soon at 1st level). A high-dex 1st-level sorcerer has a better modifier with a bow than a low-dex 1st-level fighter.

    Help me make a gif banner ad, please.

    I hate to post so horribly off-topic but I have to say this: I can't help you with the GIF, but I love the ad. And the offer. Makes me glad I waffled about buying Fantastic Science until now... :)

    What Happened to '[Insert 1E/2E Spell Name Here]'?

    So refresh my memory. What did 'Write' and the Staff of Striking do? The Temple of Elemental Evil computer game has a staff of striking which lets you burn charges for extra damage. I suppose if you wanted to stick to 3.5 rules, you could do it as a charged spell-effect item based on Inflict...

    Wielding a Spiked Chain - for the first time.

    You have a friendly hat? Mine are all surly and do mean things to my hair. Stupid hats. Oh, and yes, spiked chains rock for the right circumstances. Just don't expect to be delivering the huge damage and be prepared for some frustrating encounters with big non-humanoid opponents.

    Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

    Krikit chuckles a little nervously. "Some kid just tried to pick my pocket," he explains. Then he shouts at the boy's retreating back, "Hey son, if you find anything let me know, won't you?" He looks around at the crowd a bit tensely. "All right, I get why they call this place Hopeless. It...
