Charmed...no. Sometimes they feel cursed. While it's not a scenario where they are in ever-present danger or evil, they are often abused and disliked. Prejudice, stereotypes, and racism are present, and sometimes it's hard not to use brute force to solve a delicate problem. The heroes must...

Someone, please help me with this. A 7th level soul-knife has the Psychic strike ability (+2d8 dmg) as a move action. As long as they haven't expended their focus; they can also use psionic weapon and inflict (+2d6) damage. Does this seem a little overpowered to anyone else?

pdfs are burned to a CD, then used on a laptop. It's great, I have all the documents I need without carrying around a lot of books. I usually only have to bring my DM Screen, laptop, Campaign Binder, and dice. The online SRD is used extensively to quickly look up for prices, resolve the few game...

I've had players complain to me that the encounters I use are too weak. I was really surprised, but they said that they would prefer death to thinking that I was too soft on them...they are hard core. Next game, two of the players died not due to their fault but someone elses...and they told me...

This "cap" applies to the first two levels only. If one were to take a phaetox and then one level of wizard, they would then receive 1d4 hp; 2+ int bonus skills and spells as a 1st level wizard. If you were to take rogue you would receive 1d6 hp, 8+int bonus for skills, plus the backstab as a...

No. But I really want to support the setting, but I don't have time or interest in a new campaign world. I homebrew, and have well over 300 pages (not including monsters) written up for it. Now if the players wanted to pick up the game and run a few sessions in it here and there, I wouldn't be...

Thanks all. Some great ideas.

Sexism, racism, agism, and prejudice is all good - game wise. It's one of the ways for heroes to be heroes, fighting those silly superstitions in whatever way possible. As long as you don't take it too far...nothing is out of place as long as you have a mature group of gamers. Every type of...

PhB 100% of the time. MM - 99%, DMG - 20%, SRD - 90%, XPH - 75%+, Other Monster Books: 30% Anything non-WoTC or splatbook type: 10%

Hi all, One of my players have asked about taking a prestige class for tracking. He's an aasimar ranger, and would like to eventually specialize in hunting down evil. Any suggestions from published sources would be really helpful. Thanks in advance for your help, dren

I plan on buying Malhavoc's Hyperconscious. If I have any problems not being able to copy and use for my laptop (which isn't connected to the internet); I'll print the darn thing. But at that point, I won't be buying anything else from them. They have one chance to prove to me that it's a user...

Here is an example: This was one of the dragonlance races (phaeton) which I have adapted for my world. For their first two racial levels, they must choose their skills from that listing. Also, I give large preferred class list; as long as their new class is from that list, there isn't a...

1. depends upon his code of conduct 2. depends upon his god 3. depends upon the circumstances; what is the "greater good." Sometimes if the best way is to break the vow to serve others, so be it. The individual paladin must sometimes pay the price. My paladin players choose their code, which...

Yes, "local" really should be a specified location. Depending upon how specific you get; city vs province vs nation vs continent vs planet, will vary the varying degree of information you get, or that's the way I've always DMed. ymmv...

Audition...no, not really. I mean I talk to the player to know what they are looking for. I am not a power game type DM, and I make sure the player is aware of that. When we need a new player (Not very often) I usually lurk around message baords in the area. I'll e-mail someone, and then invite...

Most of my non-human races start at +2 ECL, and they each have two racial hit dice. Now depending upon what their generalized focus is, these two levels may use d6 or d8 for their racial HD. Those with higher HD, have fewer skills (16 per two racial levels) compared with 20 or 24 for d6 base HD...

I browse the monster and psionics posts at WoTC exclusively. Nothing else on those boards really appeals to me since I play in my own homebrew and have little interest in picking up every book or supplement. I like the broad nature of ENW a lot more, plus folks are friendlier. I play the game...

Be careful what you wish for...A good DM usually makes for a good player. But a bad DM often makes a terrible player. Do you really want a bad DM, who when they return to being a player doesn't stop being the bad DM. I've seen it. Players who are constantly in your face, "telling you oh the...

Toronto is pretty sweet. Lots of groups. A great role-playing association. I've never had a hard time finding keen and knowledgeable players. Some really good shops downtown...maybe not a paradise, but really, really good.

I don't think the rules are what makes or break players getting into the hobby. For the most part players only need to buy the one book (obviously the players handbook) to play the game, everything else is really at the whim of the storyteller. Sure, there are lots and lots and lots of...
