Not as much as many others here on these boards. I give free Improved Unarmed Strike at first level and a free exotic weapon proficiency every five levels. There are additional feats that are similiar to those posted such as weapon and armour specializations. I also group skills into a...

I would say anywhere from 30-50% of encounters. About half of those are the correct decisions as they are done so good or better AC characters will often provoke an AoO at the start of an particular melee round, to provide an opportunity for weaker AC characters to flee. Obviously not a great...

Dungeons have always been where creatures that once ruled now lurk, where hoards of treasure and magic wait for those able to seize them, where hideous and terrible creatures eke out a miserable existence before gaining in power to conquer the world, where fantastic and secretive creatures laugh...

I don't really care about other people's arguements or even the ofiicial rules on this one, the way I've explained to my players is that every mortal* creature has the possibility of both free choice and redemption and if possible should be saved rather then being killed. Paladins should not...

I don't allow unamed bonus simply because they are too much of a pain for me to keep track of. As for his intent, he wanted to have a significantly higher chance of hitting with his ray spells...or that was what he talked about during our initial conversation. I told him 50,000 gp; just because...

Need help with a game decision. A player in my D&D 3.5 game wants to buy a ring that gives a plus to hit with ranged attack spells; is that ok by the core set of rules? I know that he could buy an item that increases his dexterity, but he wants a +4 bonus exclusively to his ranged attack spells...

Quoted for truth.

Yes, I use save points, kind of, I do the "Dallas scenario" in other words they wake up from a dream. I know it's cheesy, but I would rather use that trick then ruin an ongoing campaign. If the players agree we just go back anywhere from an hour to a session and then hit replay. I think I've...

This is far from the first year that the TRPA has been involved. They ran the Grand Tournament last year and have been running games at the event for the two years prior. There are plenty of good DMs and writers who have been willing to put in their time to organize and run Game Days at gaming...

I've found the original one, jai's secret goodies works a lot more consistently and follows the precedents you put into it. Been having loads of fun playing around with this thing...

I think I printed half of a malhavoc adventure ONCE out of the 30+ pdfs I've bought over the years...it's a whole lot easier to put it on a memory stick, and take it between my home, office and laptop. I try to keep my carry along as light as possible, and printing it out doesn't help.

Having the tumbler roll DC 10+BAB does not slow down the combat as previously mentioned. Normally the tumbler would roll vs a DC 15, instead they announce what DC they beat, you as the DM should ALWAYS know the BAB of the creature they are rolling past, you announce if they take the AoO or...

As per their intelligence number, then with reduced numbers for each additional spell step. A wizard of tenth level with 18 int, will have 18 1st level, 15 - 2nd, 10 - 3rd level, 5 - 4th level...or something along those lines. Clerics are hardly limited and sorcerers, well the whole point of...

Just bought mine...they are AWESOME!!! I have two sets of the first, and am trying to resist buying a second set, but there are so many neat tiles.

I stated 2010. But if I always have a gaming group that is willing to stick to 3.X / d20, maybe never. My priorities have changed a lot even since 3.0 came out, and I can't really see myself spending 1/20 of the money I have for previous editions. You never know, I might be making a lot more...

I don't care about the intent of any spell or rule, I usually decide on the spot and state something like: "each missile has an equal chance of hitting you or a figment." If they argued, I'd tell them that by the rules you're probably right, but I don't care, this is the way we are doing it...

No. A guide to actions, yes, but without the background colour/detail it is pretty dull and useless thing. Moral and ethical quandries are part of many group's role playing adventures and simply to use alignment strictly as a blanket: "it's evil - let's kill it", "it's neutral - we'll only...

I've dropped all penalties for losing a familiar. Within a month, they can obtain a new one, usually the same spirit of their original familiar. otoh, if a player abuses their familiar, regardless of whether or not the familiar dies, the animal/spirit will eventually leave.

Depends: do you roll the dice in front of the players? If you do, let the PC die. If you don't, drop him to -1, and proceed from there. Alternatively, have the character drop, then stop the events and roll it back to the prior morning waking up from a dream in a cold sweat screaming. Take the...

None.
