Yes; and on more than a few occasions. Sometimes a player is a dink and they ruined the game for other players. That's unacceptable to me. Am I proud of what I did? Damn straight. I did what I had to do, to make sure that all (or most) of the players are having a good time. One idiot should not...

Thanks everyone! And (Psi)SeveredHead, I think that's a great idea with the weapon finese feat.

I am creating a dungeon, and wanted to include nimblewrights from MM 2. However, unlike the 3.5 golems in the MM, nimblewrights do not get a bonus to their hp total. Is there a calculation method to figure this out. All of the basic golems (clay, flesh, iron and stone) receive + 30 extra hp. A...

I have always ruled, that they are incredibly sensitive at this time. While they know who their friends are, if an ally commits a questionable act that they dislike, they may have to roll a will check (DC 12) to avoid becoming angry and scream at their friend. But, only the player may state that...

I love this!!! I have always thought using historical battles as example that high death rates in D&D fantasy battle was unrealistic. There's a great scene in Gone With the Wind with the camera scanning over hundreds of injured and dead soldiers, and you see the full impact of battle. Worrying...

Diplomacy: I handle it mostly through role playing. If you are trying to convince someone of something, and you handle the situation "correctly" giving a good lie, argument or bribe, etc; I will adjudicate in your favor without a dice roll. If it's something that I believe would be difficult to...

timetable of last month July 23 - lost my job. Aug 1st - my wife told me she wants a divorce after a year of marriage and five years living together. Aug 5 - gained a new job Aug 3 - signed severence and confidentiality papers from my former employer. Lost income support pay based on the...

Newbies... You are absolutely right, "don't want to try to stuff the rules down their throats." Play the session at least once without using dice or a character sheet. All of their actions (attack, climb, etc) will be a success, they will still take damage but only bruised not in real danger...

Monte's right, the standard variety is going to be bland, but thats the point IMHO, if I want a specific character, I would have already created them with a mini-history. During the game, I've often used those tables, to get a character of X level in the game, without much thought. They were...

Now I'm really glad I didn't get any of these, nor any of the splatbooks... OA & PsiHB are the only two non-core books that I'm really glad I bought and get a lot of use from them.

In the words of Mr. Burns "Excellent!!!" Bravo Planesdragon and Gothmog! These are fantastic ideas which I will be implementing very soon as a great option for my players.

As most other posters in this thread, there are times I use graphic descriptions. Combat wise, breezing through low level enemies is done with no more than to hit / damage. At other times, especially in challenging situations, I'll describe everything, from the sweat swiped off, the blood...

Since I don't use standard magic items, create personalized encounter tables, use my own epic / high level stuff...the only book I really need is the MM.

Umm, yeah, I agree, well sort of. I have always House Ruled that armor is fit for a certain size (dwarf/elf/human, etc) and if you find one that is generally your size, the armor will reshape itself to better fit you. But a Dwarf can't use armor made for a human or elf. As for swords, umm, a...

Ditto.

No. I'd probably stop playing the game altogether. Actually, I'd just stop buying anything from WoTC. I want this new 3.5 to last a minimum, bare minimum of 6 more years. Otherwise, thats it for me. Grrr...grr...4th ed...grrr...don't even mention it. Not even a rumour. Not even a joke.

Hurrah, huzzah, and rah-rah-rah: three cheers for D'N'D. cuz i like D&D too... dren, Game On!

Amen, Sigil, Amen. As for the fractured community of house rules:bring them on!!! Let Darwin's Theory of Survival of the Fittest rule here and smite the weakest ideas.

That's what these posting boards and other d20 publishers are for. :D WoTC is great for broad rules and ideas, but when it comes down to it, it really has to be that holistic all emcompasing style, to get the big sales figures that Hasbro is pushing them for. It's then up to other d20...

No, god, please god no....(sobbing uncontrollably and incoherently)....please no.
