The group I DM has Half-orc Barbarian 7 Elf(High) Rogue 7 Elf(Grey) Ranger (Monte's) 7 Human Wizard 6 Well balanced group I'd say, except for not having a cleric.

I am looking forward to the BoVD like no other D&D book except perhaps the 3E PHB. We're all speculating here, so..... I think the BoVD will "put D&D on the map" so to speak. It will be a groundbreaking book and will spawn a host of similiar EVIL adventures and accessories. MWAHAHAHA!! It...

My three favorite returning monsters are 1. Linnorms - Loved them in Dragon magazine. I hope they have pictures for each one. 2. Zodar - A mysterious humanoid found in the back of the 2E Spelljammer compendium returns! IIRC, these guys were tough as hell! 3. Spell Weaver - just plain...

I like the evil ones, esp. CE - not every CE is a psychopath. Some are quite detailed but a bit restrictive though - alignment does not equal personality.

Redesign the magic system. Eliminate Divine vs Arcane magic distinction. Let players choose whether their caster uses Vancian (as existing system), Spell Point (as 3E Psionics) or Skill/Feat based (as Star Wars). The spell lists would have to be redone big time and you'd have to address the...

sorry I don't think you'll win. I suggest you look at Jeremy's post with the dragon stats again. Poison won't work since his Fort save is so high. Most spells won't work since his SR is so high. Melee Combat? His AC is 39. All his attack bonuses are in the forties. He can use power...

Down with the PH Perform Table I agree with Forrester. The perform table in the PH is out of whack. It may work in a very low powered campaign where 10th is very high, but that's about it. 7th level Bards should not be able to attract outer planar beings' attention with regularity. That's...

Munchkin? First, "Munchkin" is a term without a set definition so it's hard to understand what you are asking. Are you asking if you have a bad DM? If so, there's too little information here. Secondly, why you are asking it? If the party is being challenged and you guys are having fun, then...

The 142 hit points is an average so you don't have to roll hit points for every monster. A young adult white dragon has 15d12+45 for hit dice, which means 60-225 hit points. It is perfectly rules-legal that the white had 210 hit points. -Dagger75 I don't think you played this dragon poorly...

Ideas Even if you don't use any of the HM rules in 3E/d20, there are many charts and tables that are rules independent. The Hackmaster Game Master's Guide is like the 1E DMG on speed. The tables themselves provide plenty of ideas. The are tables for: Dungeon Dressing Wilderness Dressing...

great replies To all: Thanks for the great replies, and keep em comin'! Staffan: Thanks for the link and information! Teneb: I think you misquoted me. It was DocMoriartty that brought up the point about ESDs being a bad buy if you get them for the maps. I agree, but I have no idea how...

Are they worth the $4.99 price tag? How many have bought them? What are your experiences in purchasing them? Any delivery trouble? I was thinking of buying some ESDs over at the WotC store. Specifically, some PlaneScape stuff because I sorta skipped over it in 2E and it seems really cool...

a long time I found Eric's Unofficial 3E News in October 1999. I started lurking on the Boards a month or so after that. I come back to read the news and story hours almost every day; and I infrequently post.

Re: Alternatives to Level-Draining Slam I like the ideas presented, specifically the negation of the slam and level drain. I think that vampires should have no special unarmed attack - except perhaps improved grapple. Coupled with high strength, this enables the vampire to bite his opponent...

paper I wrote my post in haste, and it became an unintentional troll and this I apologize for. I still stand by what I said, however. I realize that you could Rule 0 any rule in the game. I know I cannot tell anyone how to play their game, at least not until my badge and taser gun come in...

It's a rule = you roll First, a bit of restating the obvious: Isn't it a rule that after first level, you roll for your hit points? Isn't there a reason they call them hit dice? A fighter's hit die is a d10. Note the d. It means you roll a die. Rolling a die generates a random number...

Drow tactics I think that just because Drow have "Chaotic" as part of their alignment doesn't mean they don't use tactics in combat. CE Drow can and should use intelligent tactics and organization in battle if need be (ie; battling goodly surface invaders). Drow aren't going to rush into...

what to do? It comes down to this: WotC wants D&DG to be usable without the ELH. If not, folks will be peeved they need the ELH to use D&DG. So Gods don't get Epic Levels. But it doesn't make sense for Gods not to have Epic Levels. The solution? I don't know. Is it addressed in either...

At least you got them to use up a few good spells. That's gotta count for something.

Idea We, the ENBoarders, should pool our resources and buy the D&D brand off of WotC/Hasbro.
