Only the expert. The way I look at it everyone is at least a first level class expert at something (ditch digger, baker, alcoholic, etc). Both commoner and aristocrats are experts but with differing names and job functions. I also reject adept and warrior. If you cast spells then be a...

WHY? Flavour....I prefer jubine to either vanilla or chocolate.

Psionic Options I have heavy psionic areas in my world where magic is mistrusted and rarely used; outside of those areas it is rare. My players have the choice to pick where they want to adventure. Usually the psion picks the non-psionic areas, because they have more power and mystery.

IMC, if he followed through Pelor would be quite upset. Murder, a planned killing is an evil act, and the good god would be angry that a follower used divine guidance before committing such an act. At the start of the next day, the paladin would probably lose one of their unique abilities...

It's not. Most provinces in Canada have "Stag & Doe" dances to raise funds. Often it's organized by the best man and maid of honour; at other times it is the husband's family, to offset the cost that the bride's family will pay at the actual wedding...

Reincarnation I've created my own substitute table, leaving out the obviously difficult to role play creatures like badgers. It also gave me a chance to insert of my own home made races/monsters.

Without a doubt, the MM

30. Eat them 31. Throw them (at anyone but me) 32. Collect them 33. Use them as minis / models 34. Lick Them 35. Use them as marbles 36. Use as a math teaching aid. 37. Gamble with them (A game of Inbetweens anyone???) 38. Play them as a musical instrument 39. Use them as earrings 40...

Don't agree. If it's part of the plot, leave it in. But, and this a huge but, make sure the players know that they can't control it. If they attempt to use it, especially on something nasty, they will probably get smoked. If they attempt to sell it, the merchant will probably not buy it from...

I love monster creation, whether it's something I have done or something new that are posted on these boards. I rarely use prestige classes for npcs & 95% of the time spells are always from the core books. Pretty standard stuff. But I really enjoy creating new races and monsters to throw at my...

NPC Advancement... I usually allow gradual advancement of NPCs. I don't tally ep but bump them up every now and then. The only difference is a "nemesis", figures who will become prominent enemies. Their advancement matches the PCs one-for-one, until either one of the PCs die or the bbeg does.

If you can believe this... Not sure about worst, but here goes...a Paladin named Porn Clitoris, with a mount named Climax. And in case you were wondering it's a serious and heavy roleplaying campaign.

I've always liked the idea of both a travelling priest who takes care of the in-your-face evil as well as a stay at home type who tends the flock kind. Neither is strictly independent from each other (especially in a world of REAL EVIL MONSTERS) but they have a completely differing set of...

Sigh....not again.

On the surface, I think it's dumb. I want a paladin to be able to bond with a mount in more than a mystical manner, but as one intelligent, lawful, good creature to another. The Paladin serves his mount by grooming, feeding, healing and just caring for it; the mount serves their rider by being...

Romus, think very carefully about what you wish for... Do you really want someone that you share this interest with? Sure, while you are going out it's fun, but what happens if the relationship spoils? What's going to happen to the game? It gets even uglier if one of you is the DM. Also, as...

Amen! But it's the CR system. A little off IMHO, but that gem has been discussed lots of time on these boards. Once you recognize that, with some experience you can adjust for it. guessmith game on

High Magic Although I'm certainly partial to a low magic type of campaign, I don't like to say I DM a low magic world. Mages and sorcerors exist, and somewhere there are high level ones...not that any of them have a high degree of recognition like Elminster. Wizards are reviled in my world...

1. Moral ambiguity. umm, yup. It's fun. But I torture PCs with choice vs fate all the time, so this is par for the course. 2. A misguided effort to generate variety. Why misguided? I use elves in my world almost exactly the same as Gothmog, but the PCs actually adore the elves as the only...
