    Would you play a class with no special abilities?

    I think I'd be up for it. If I get the itch for special abilities...well, that's what maxxed out ranks in Use Magic Device are for! Nareau

    Confirmation cat is a threat to an average person

    Actually, this article seems to confirm cats aren't a lethal threat to people. The cat bit the elderly* woman 60 times and even then couldn't reduce her to unconsciousness. Of course, it's always possible grandma is a 15th level barbarian... Nareau *(that's a -3 to her Con, for those keeping...

    Laptop Help

    First off, here's one you definitely need: http://www.enworld.org/forumdisplay.php?f=6 ;) Seriously, I'd highly recommend Google Browser Sync for Firefox: http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/ It saves your bookmarks (and passwords, if you want) on a Google server, so you can sync...

    NC Game Day XIII (April 21-22): aka "Mini-GenCon"

    I seem to be locked out of the site. I tried logging in, but didn't know my password. So I followed the "Send me a new password" link. It sent me a new password, and when I try to login with it, the page immediately redirects me to http://ncgameday.dhorizon.org/account/changepass.php. I get...

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    This module reminds me of a poem I learned as a kid. I can't find the source, but it seems to be pretty widely known: Nareau

    Orc and Pie archive?!

    18. THE PIE The orc has baked the pie in the oven on the far wall, but it is too hot for him to remove. Anyone attempting to remove the pie has a 40% chance of catching fire and taking 1-6 damage. If the party extinguishes the fire in the stove using the basin of water, the pie can be safely...

    Gencon Hotels are on sale at 2pm, and all earlier reservations were WIPED

    As far as I'm concerned, the best thing they could have done would have been to negotiate an additional 200 rooms from the hotels. Even if it meant paying the difference between the normal and the non-con cost, they could have made the problem go away and kept everybody happy for not too much...

    Races for an African-style campaign?

    Check out http://www.pantheon.org/areas/mythology/africa/african/articles.html. I've used it extensively in my African/Japanese homebrew. Much of African folklore an mythology seems to be based around either animals or really weird spirits (ie, with 7 eyes and 3 arms, and maybe a few extra...

    Are there actual rules for researching new spells?

    In our game, I often allow spellcasters to take spells from new sourcebooks. I'd like to have those spells be researched by the PC in-game, though. I thought there were rules for doing this, but I'm not seeing it in the SRD. Was that a 2nd edition mechanic? Nareau

    2007 Judge Selection

    What award given by past ENnies do you disagree with most? Why? Have you ever been an ENnies judge before? And a meta-question: Is there any chance somebody might be willing to compile the answers in these (and other threads) to create a voters' guide? Would the candidates be willing to...

    Screwing around with temporal continuity

    We recently took a break from our main campaign to run a one-shot (based on the hit TV series CSI, but in a D&D world). The characters are 7th level, and we had a lot of fun with it. Well, the one-shot turned into a couple of adventures, and we've started to flesh things out quite a bit. We...

    About initiative

    I wouldn't allow an action to be readied "on the opponent's turn". In fact, I wouldn't allow an action to be readied based on any metagame concept. Your character needs to be able to comprehend the conditions that will trigger his action. Nareau

    A Better Soulknife

    I played a Soulknife with this alternative, and had a great time: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=310984 Makes the class much more interesting, IMHO. Nareau

    [Bards] What options are there to make them more interesting

    I haven't gotten the chance to play-test this idea, but I think it could be fun: Change the bonus damage granted by Bardic performance to a die of damage (instead of a straight +1 or +2). Let the bard's player roll that damage whenever it comes up. That way, you can play a supporting class...

    Do animal companions lose their bonus HD if they're fired?

    I'm a 9th level druid, and I've been traveling with the same stupid badger since 1st level. I decide I want to upgrade, so I hand Mr. Badger his walking papers. Does he keep the +6 HD, Natural armor, etc? Nareau

    How do you rule on invisible weapons?

    Interesting question. I think I'd handle it in one of two different ways: 1) Grant a +1 circumstance bonus to hit. It's a cool idea, and I could see it being harder to defend against an invisible weapon. 2) Grant the attacker the full benefits of attacking while invisible, but treat the...

    Two Weapon Fighting question

    If a 17th level ranger makes a full attack with two light weapons, and has Combat Style Mastery in 2-weapon fighting, how many attacks does he get, and at what bonuses (assume BAB only, no other feats, magic, or other modifiers)? Normally, the attack routine would go: +17/+12/+7 With TWF...

    What ruins a campaign?

    Real life. Jobs, school, family--all these things are more important than gaming, and so they get in the way. Nareau
