I find the key to D&D adventuring is balance. It's much easier to balance the danger vs rewards at lower power levels. If it's too hard, players die and they can lose their interest in the game because they are playing meat puppets. If it's too easy, PCs think they are gods and kill npcs...

usefulness of clerics Clerics seem to have a problem in my campaign world - they end up dieing. In my homebrew world of great evil, they are usually the preferred target of any evil spellcaster, summoned creature or undead. For their high mortality rate few players are willing to take them on...

Teach the group they either work together or they all suffer for it. Virtually every time someone in my campaign deviates from the group's plans, someone usually dies. It's not deliberate on my point, but, I design the adventures for a certain power level, if someone isn't pulling their weight...

NUDITY IN MY GAMES: Constantly. Paladins are constantly being swooned over and they have politely turned down the offers. NUDITY IN MY BOOKS: Not since I was 18. I don't care for it. SEX IN MY GAMES: Yes, but not graphicly and PCs are never involved. SEX IN MY BOOKS: Not since I was 18. I...

Sex, while not graphicly described, is common place in my campaigns especially when encountering the hedonistic fey (satyr and nymph in particular.) With this being said, I have no intention of buying or using the rules in this book.

very intersting article makes me sad to think that people get so worked up over their faith to hate, fear or loathe anyone else. I've always thought if Jesus walked with, talked with and washed the feet of whores and lepers; he wouldn't have really minded us gamers.

My ongoing game features: Perith: A great bardic nation known for being the epi-centre of all empirical knowledge, a 5,000 year old old growth forest (think Endor) and the last bastion of the Hegemony: the elven & minotaur kingdom Free States: various jumble of races all within 20 days travel...

I voted for none of the above. SS: only two or three of the monster classes really impressed me. The rest seem blah. If one of my players buys the book I'll let them play something. ELH: Unimpressed. Besides, I have a homebrew uber-game style that I prefer to use. Vile: Nothing too special...

Bravo! I have a cold centric world and this PrC fits in nicely. Thanks! Dren

To begin with, I find it hard to justify fantasy linguistics using real world history. So, in my campaign world, there is a god of language, whose faith is shared by the dwarves, elves, humans and some others. Thus there is a common root tongue for 90% of all humanoid tongues. With this being...

The house rule I use adds one more thing to the above, if designated vs one foe, it also negates AoO.

My players will give each other a combat post mortem, OOC at the end of most sessions to analyze what went wrong. But I limit player-to-player OOC gamespeak during combat, (sometime they ask me for a better perspective, which is fine.) But if discussed, during combat, your enemies hear it if...

The Usual Suspects ???? Quote from the Usual Suspects "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

I would use the same rant that I give whenever anyone gives me grief about this hobby. Whether it's my parents or my wife or any of my non-gamer friends...they know to only ask me once, because once I get started, I can go on for hours. I may look like an idiot while giving my rant, but I refuse...

Planar warding spell. This is the spell I have used on multiple occasions by the mercykillers and harmonium for this specific purpose. Without the password, creatures can not pass the ward to enter that prime world. This way, until they do the necessary research (i.e. your aforementioned...

Hi, looking for any players to join an onging homebrew campaign in the GTA area. Contact me at guessmith@yahoo.com Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

How important are wandering monsters to your gaming/DM style? One of my players, who DMs his own campaign has told me he has never used wandering monsters, so it got me wondering, how many others only use prepared encounters? In heavy wilderness, the odds are usually anywhere from a 10 - 25%...

half-elf house rules Hey shivamuffin, I'm with you here. Of course, I also got rid of drow and grey elves as well because of campaign reasons (they were all killed!)
