    Can you disintegrate a wielded weapon?

    Yes, but more often than not you're better off targetting the sword's wielder. He'll get the same saving throw, but he's easier to hit, and if he poofs you get to keep the sword for yourself.

    First PHB ever sold is up for sale on ebay

    Of course, you could just bid up front the maximum amount you'd be willing to pay for the item, and have the discipline not to increase your bid if you get outbid. ;)

    First PHB ever sold is up for sale on ebay

    The other guy could have bid $1000 for all we know. It just automatically raises the bid to the lowest number that defeats the previous bid. If the new guy bid $1000, and diaglo bids $3000, then the bid price will show up as $1000.01.

    Weird little DOS windows appearing and disappearing on my computer!!!!!

    Remember to run all the spyware removal software in Safe Mode. If you run it in a normal boot it can't remove everything. And it can't hurt to go thorugh your directories manually and see if you can spot anything suspicious.

    Wounded Horses... How much damage before..

    If you don't want a horse to be able to carry its rider, deal strength damage to it.

    Is this fair?

    My players have fun when I tell them "there are invisible opponents sneaking up on the camp. Put out the minis around the campfire, and we'll play out their approach - and whether or not you spot or hear them - round by round." Adds a great deal of suspense.

    First PHB ever sold is up for sale on ebay

    He's winning so far. Go diaglo! Bid like you've never bid before! Edit: Can a community supporter PM Col_Pladoh and ask him to pop into this thread? I'm sure he'd take an interest. And if I were diaglo, I'd trust GG's word on the story before I'd trust the eBay entry. :)

    Buckling down to work

    It's tougher for those of us with small kids. You should hear the number of differnet people with different things they think I should be able to do... they all claim "surely you can find half an hour that your wife will watch the kids and you can lock yourself in a room and do this..." My Tai...

    How do you get your 1st level PCs together?

    I've seen this used to good effect a couple times: "Each of you recieves a mysterious invitation to meet with an influential nobleman..."

    ACK! I Hate level 15!!

    At this point they can reasonably be assumed to be able to take on practically anything. Quick advice: Don't present obvious solutions to major problems anymore. Here are a few simple adventure ideas. A hill giant army is invading. Five border towns need to be defended simultaniously. The...

    My first experience of anti-female gamers!

    I've never played in a group that wasn't predominantly women. Last group was three married couples and one single woman. My current group is three married couples and two single women.

    Silly question...but an answer is appreciated

    There's a section in the DMG describing what qualifies as a "Secret Door." But I don't have it with me right now.

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    Well, seeing how quickly my previous post got edited, I can only assume my deductions were correct. At any rate, I'll spoiler the following paragraphs, though I don't think I'm really giving anything away.

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    I haven't seen the Thread Full o' Secrets. I just pay attention.

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    I believe the ______ plotline is next, after the _____ are dealth with. Of course, with PC in charge, that will probably just be the intro into a huge and nasty infernal scheme.

    D&D 3.x Wings of Flying - 3.0 vs. 3.5

    Now, this has probably been discussed before, but I missed it. Our DM gave us, as a reward for completing a quest, any single magical item worth under 8000gp. We're officially playing a 3.5 campaign, but we still have our 3.0 books, and since we were all shopping for our reward item at once...

    Stirges (clarification)

    .... That's actually kind of neat.

    Stirges (clarification)

    Hey, wouldn't it be fun if somebody developed a spell that required, as a matierial component, a live stirge? :D

    Mountain giants a very weak CR 26?

    Sounds like they're closer to a CR 16 or 17.
