Not only is this clever, but it also adds to the discussion in a meaningful way. It's not sensitivity that's spurring me to give the whiner the benefit of the doubt: there is a serious problem between Slaygrim and Whiner that's disturbing their game, according to Slaygrim. If you take him at...

The PrC, I think. It's a great NPC class, and a fair urban campaign PC class. As an NPC, the DM can drop the duelist into the mix in the situations the character is supposed to shine. I always thought a fighter/druid with a quarterstaff would be horrifying. You look innocuous, you can attack...

I'm determined to give the other guy, who is not here to defend himself, the benefit of the doubt. But: if you have been fair in what you have said - mind the if - bring it out in the open between you two. Have a conversation about this with him. Shoot, show him the thread. Frankly, there...

What this paragraph means is that you are recruiting a friend to direct the game style of a game you aren't running, contrary to what the other members of the group prefer. Can you see how this may be divisive? Original Post I get to play and I am really resisting the urge to give him loads of...

The best was the internet ad "Perfectville" for Reebok. "We Deliver! Best on the Road." Ha, Perfect!

3rd Edition Player's Handbook. It represented such a huge shift towards consistency, balance and thoroughness from 2nd edition that every product afterwards became derivative. Other books reached greater heights, but they stood on the strong, strong shoulders of the 3e PHB.

I didn't grow a beard so much as my hairline decided to go on holiday to my chin, and liked it so much it decided to stay. But I tell ya, it's nice being able to cut your hair and trim your beard with the same setting on your clippers.

How would one describe it? Meaningless. ;) Hee-hee. Sorry, but I had a Chowdah-head for a roommate in college, and I have never been happier to see a team from Boston lose. That the Giants deserved the hell out of that win, and it brings another Lombardi trophy to my Redskins' NFC East, only...

Buh?

Sure, as soon as the fight starts the wizard announces his loyalties. My post was describing my reaction to the apparent overwhelming opposition and counting the (soon to switch sides) wizard as part of the problem; I doubt I'd have stayed long enough to find out that I had a hidden ally. But...

If I were the whiner's caster and I found myself in the midst of a 19th level wizard, a 15th level wizard, a 16th level sorcerer, a beholder, and a runic guardian, all of whom are apparent enemies, I'd either cast Teleport at first opportunity, taking as many other PCs as I could with me, or I'd...

Sorcerer. If its offensive output you're going for, the Sorcerer has some of the best sustained damage output builds you could want. If you're not worried about your DM totally screwing you over, go Elemental Savant and blast away with your favorite energy damage. Alternatively, you could go...

Yeah, Command Undead has its good points, but it only targets one undead and the range is close. But still, it's a good Sorcerer/Nercomancer spell with the Days/level duration. It'll come into its own once that sorcerer is casting Animate Dead several times per day.

Skeksis. Who cares if they're not written up? They're friggin awesome bad guys. They'll make your PCs fear the title, "The Chamberlain". :D

For creating and commanding hordes of undead, the cleric is the way to go. But Arcane Necromancers can be particularly terrible in their own way. Though it's true of all wizards, arcane necromancers are much more mobile than divine with the Conjuration (Teleportation) subschool. They'll be able...

Kobolds.

More spells of 3rd level or higher to protect you from projectiles: Major Image and similar spells, because these can provide total concealment for you. How long that concealment will last will be up to your DM's definition of "interact with the illusion", and how shooting an arrow through the...

http://web.archive.org/web/20040610102902/http://albruno3.holmesonics.com/ab3frameset-1.htm RPG.NET rant #3: A Night At The Inn, A Day At The Racists That's the story.

I always relied upon Wind Wall to keep projectiles away from me at upper levels. It's more restrictive than Protection from Arrows, but it does protect you from all conventionally-sized projectiles, magical or not. Also, Leomund's Tiny Hut is a brilliant defensive spell for mid-levels. It...
