    Looking for an extra Move Action

    Just have the character turn out to be some sort of polymorphed choker.

    Any 1st level feats that give a Sorceror another spell

    You don't think that maybe it is worded differently because the sorcerer does not have access to the entire sorcerer/wizard spell list?

    amazon: Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress: A Hip Girl's Guide to the D&D Game

    I've always heard it argued along the same lines of Mr/Mrs/Ms - the use of language is making a sexist assumption. Actor describes both an actor and an actress, comedian describes both a comedian and a comedienne, etc. By default English nouns have no gender, so adding a new feminine version of...

    OotS 401

    Yeah, really consistently great stuff for weeks now. I was sure that there would be some plot reason that Roy wasn't around, or he'd arrive at the very end of the fight or, well, anything. Then it turned out his player missed that session. Brilliant.

    D&D 3.x Mixing 3.0 and 3.5

    It shouldn't be a problem. I ran an adventure path using 3.0 rules with the 3.5 versions of classes and the complete books (sort of the inverse of your situation) and it worked well. I was able to eyeball the little stuff as it came along. I did spend extra prep time on most of the big...

    Save or die spells/effects

    Over the last couple of years "save or 0 hp" has become my favorite house rule. I remember at least a few people on the boards saying they played with it, too. Is there any chance we could see a change to something like that?

    Recipes that just use egg _yolks_?

    Hollandaise sauce (or Bearnaise, I suppose). That way you can match your high-calorie desserts with some high-fat breakfasts.

    Core Religion Survivor - Round Twelve

    This guy should never have made it this far.

    Live near any fantasy-sounding places? List 'em here!

    If it didn't have too many real-world connotations for your group, bluegrass would be a cool geographical feature. And they call the Iron Range in Minnesota the Arrowhead sometimes, which I think is a pretty good name for a region.

    Seeking Information on IQ

    I have no idea what you're planning to do with this information, Frukathka, so maybe it isn't a big deal, but bear in mind that that book was written, 1. For testing children (the subtitle is Scoring for Ages 5-11), and 2. in 1977. Children, adolescents and adults score differently on tests...

    Core Religion Survivor - Round Ten

    No way, Moradin's got to stay. He's got a unique creation myth, a cool nickname, and he has a portfolio that could conceivably develop in a world that isn't adventurer-focused.

    Rocky Balboa

    Is anyone else excited that this brings us that much closer to Adrian's Revenge?

    Tabasco Sauce: Whats your favorite kind?

    The green Tabasco is pretty good, but my favorite mexican pepper sauce is Cholula. It's less vinegar-y, smoother and its flavor matches well with burritos and breakfast.

    Any good movies out?

    If you're interested in something more serious, and it's playing near you, you should see Sweet Land. By far the best made movie I've seen all year and maybe the best love story I've ever seen on film. Plus, Ned Beatty!

    TWIN CITIES - Looking for 2 or 3 more players

    Are you still looking for a player? I'm in St Paul and your group sounds just about right.

    [DMs] Dealing with player's who have "ineffective" builds...

    Well, you'd try to design a variety of encounters at a variety of difficulties for a party of combat-optimized characters, right? They'd be good against the large group of mooks, have to use sound tactics against the trolls, and have trouble convincing the magistrate to look the other way. Or...

    At what level do you start your campaigns?

    I like third level for most of the reasons that other people do. My group finds it particularly attractive, though, because we've all spent something like three fourths of our playing time at third level or below - slow advancement in the second edition, time lag from incorporating new players...

    Druids are not Hippies!

    I don't know - my very favorite druid, and the best-played druid I've encountered, is Nwm from Sepulchrave's story hour. Here, from the very beginnings of Lady Despina's Virtue: Nwm eventually does some things that are both very hippie and very druid - lots of meditation and a vow of poverty...

    Giving something back to humans

    Humans are already pretty good - I think they would certainly hold their own as is.

    [Way OT] Help unshrinking a shirt?

    Try washing it again, but by hand in cold water this time, and let it drip dry. I've only had it work on a wool sweater, but since the same things shrink cotton and wool it's worth a shot.
