To try and still continue the discussion… While there are a lot of video games out there now that allow so much more options they still do not compare to tabletop games that I have participated in. I played Oblivion for quite a while and really enjoyed it, but when options aren’t available...

I had a situation in my game where a player was browsing through the DMs guide and found the Dancing Shield, or something like that. Anyway, he was playing a fighter type that used a sword that required two hands, so the shield that he didn't have to wield sounded great to him. In my game...

I am always looking for new games and gamers, but unfortunately Tuesday is the one game I currently have going, and I can't change that night. -wally

What part of town are you in? My friend and I are looking for more gamers, but we don't really want to drive an hour to get to it. -wally

Thanks for the info. Is there an opposed roll to just make them drop it, or is it a saving throw based on damage or something? -wally

If a character wants to attack an object that is being held or is visible on a person/creature, what is the rule? Is it the default AC of the creature? Is it an adjusted AC if it is held in a hand or appendage? Is there a chance it can fall off or be dropped if hit? Or is this not actually...

It is just the same issue whenever any other good game or console comes out. You end up wanting to play it more than anything until the thrill wears off. With any computer/console game, you have the limitation of only being able to do things that are programmed into the game. If you roleplay...

In our group we all say pretty much whatever comes to our mind, and while it may sound harsh, cruel or downright foul, we do it just for laughs. And boy do we get some good laughs. It's all about the funny for us. Now I have to ask. I have met quite a few sailors in my life, and I think that...

If someone picks up a strength bow of +2 or +4, and they don't have any strength bonus, does it state somewhere in the rules that they can't use it, or that they just don't get the +2 or +4 bonus to damage? -wally

Read some real world ghost stories. I don't mean you have to believe them, just portray as the story sees them. I had a keep that was haunted by ghosts, but not ghosts in the MM sense. The characters could interact with them, depending upon the ghost, but if they tried to attack, they would be...

I have had two that are still talked about… First – A party had half of its members kidnapped by an evil band that was hunting them. The rest of the group wanted to go in and attempt a rescue, but they knew that the chance of success was minimal. One party member remembered that he had a dragon...

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate the work. -wally

Is a larger creature with more than a 5' reach able to move more than 5' as a free action? Is a creature with a 10' reach able to move 10' as a free action without drawing attacks of opportunity? I am still a 3.0 player and am joining a 3.5 game and was told that this was a new rule in 3.5. I...

I tend to try and make all the characters in a game a part of the story. If I focus on one character more than the others at any given time, it should be known that I will get around to your character in time. That time doesn't usually take too long. I had a player that wanted to keep...

Besides almost every room in the church I had to attend while growing up, the strangest was a converted hanger in Saudi Arabia that was housing about 1000 soldiers. A friend and I played with torn up pieces of paper and cups, for dice, and we did our best to remember all the rules. We didn't...

How about an individual who chooses not to stay in the hospital after having a testicle removed just so he can be at home the next day to attend a game? -wally

Based on that statement, why would anyone pay to play a character? :) I think it is more of a personal investment. If I played a character for years, I don't think I would want someone to destroy the memory of that character for myself and my fellow players. That is my perception of it...

As to charming drunken louts, it really depends. There are people out there who can drink a lot and be charming, but you were making it sound like he had these urges that he kept giving in to. That sounds to me like an internal conflict. Those that are out partying and having a good time...

I just can't picture a person who has conflict within over his urges, being a regular drunk and a whoremonger, as a charismatic person who eveyone listens to and wants to follow. He could be attractive, but his demeanor will easily keep it low. The wisdom is viewed in my example as a sense of...
