In Nomine? Great thread, OP! :) Recently, I picked up an old copy of In Nomine at a resale shop, and (although I haven't read much of it yet) it's got me intrigued. So I'm curious to know if it would be on anyone's list (thought-you'd-like-but-hated or thought-you'd-hate-but-liked). If...

I have a druid PC in my campaign who has a wardog animal companion. He bought chainmail barding for it. That seemed a little far-fetched at the time. So I'm sure he will be glad to see this historical example (even if it is unique).

Well, I recall that Monte Cook's first two "Books of Eldritch Might" had *Lace* Spell metamagic feats... (Probably not what you are looking for, but I thought I'd throw it out there, just in case.)

I must be a nicer DM than I thought, because my monsters initiate grapples on average about one session in 10. Basically, if the monster's description doesn't have Improved Grab or some other natural affinity with grappling, then I figure it's not part of that monster's fighting style. The...

Hi Cyronax. I know what a bummer it is to post something and get no responses. So even though I am certainly unqualified to evaluate the work you've done on fleshing out the powers of the Octych, I'd just like to give you a word of encouragement. If I ever buy the Expedition to Castle...

Same here. My group has *always* ignored the movement rules. We have always played "one square of movement is one square in any direction" and we have had no noteworthy problems with it.

I haven't ever DMed for more than 6 hours at a time myself. But back in the day, soon after I graduated college, my roommate took our group through the Temple of Elemental Evil in one week. We basically played 2nd edition D&D for every waking hour 5 days in a row. And I can definitely confirm...

Session 53: Finishing the Lower Level of the Pyramid 7th of Fireseek: [in medias res] Katawan, Thorash, and Alexander had just teleported into the storage room behind the Ice Devil. There, they found Alees cowering. Katawan drew his potion of Remove Fear and gave it to her. She drank it...

No, the party did not make search checks to check for traps. (And, of course, if I had prompted them to do so, that would have given away the whole ball of wax.) All they did was use detect magic to find out what in the room was magical. When they heard that the bottles were radiating magical...

Session 52: Thorash's Even Worse Day 6th of Fireseek. After a bit of discussion, the party decided to clean out all of the pyramid's unopened exterior doors before opening the silver double doors on the far side of the acid pool. They moved past the lead doors to the a single, plain stone...

Sessions 51: Thorash's Bad Day 5th of Fireseek. Thorash dispelled the domination effects that were still lingering on Alees, Alexander, and Tarric. With the party back to full strength, they debated whether to face the vampires again. Alees had lost many of her magical weapons and wanted...

Yeah, we've had a house rule for a long time that makes Identifying in 3rd edition much more like it was in 2nd edition. Namely, we allow the caster to identify one item *per caster level*. Of course, that's offset by the fact that it still takes 8 hours to cast. We like the house rule...

The wording in the SRD about the mechanics of Identifying a magic item are sort of vague. I could use everyone's help with a ruling that my players will not feel is arbitrary. Here's my problem: the party found a bunch of opaque stoppered bottles that radiated magic (under Detect Magic), so...

Sessions 49-50: Against the Vampires 3rd of Fireseek. After resting, rememorizing, and identifying swag, the party re-entered the lion door. They were careful to verify that the statues were all in the same positions that the party had last seen them in and that the naked half-celestial being...

FYI, I'm having the same problem as the OP. But now that I've read the thread, I now see that I just have to wait for ENW2.

Ok, I'm running an old 3.0 module for my gaming group (Necromancer Games' "The Hall of the Rainbow Mage"). In one of its more dastardly traps, a room full of acid is released. The text says that the acid does 2d4 points of damage per round to "all PCs, metal, leather, wood, cloth equipment and...

Pips rule! Numbers drool! :D

I, too, think Reynard's original post is right on target.

Same here. I've got bookshelves full of 3.x material that I haven't even read yet, let alone played. I also feel slightly bitter that WotC hit the reset button after 8 years. If 2E deserved 10 years, then so did 3.x. Like Eric, I am curious enough to keep watching, but at this time, I have...

Sessions 47 and 48: To Arn's Mountain Needfest, Common Year 596. The party celebrated the beginning of the new year along with the citizens of Magepoint. They had been waiting for Tenser to return for 3 months, and they were getting tired of waiting. Alexander reported to the party that...
