    What's so special about this huge gemstone anyways?

    Could be the missing crown jewel to some foul nation. Of course now that the party has found it, they will be happy to return it to its rightful owners, right?

    Does your setting have Magic Shops

    Cheap items like potions and scroll of low level spells, plus the occasional wand etc are available in certain places. High end magic items require commissioning. Medium items can be commissioned or purchased if you go far enough out of your way.

    [Epic] Feats and Progressions for review

    Don't have time to check everything, so I'll just check what I see real quickly: So does this stack with improved critical? If not it's completely useless. If it does stack, and you fill out the chart appropriately, you still have the problem of some categories not making an improvement...

    Are your adventures selling? If not lets figure out why.

    There is no place for "your adventures suck" in this thread. Why you ask? Because in order to evaluate whether an adventure sucks, then you have to buy it. If you bought it, you can't describe it as not selling, because you gave them a sale. So no this thread should not have any downers in...

    The thing is not all polearms have reach. Reach is very simplified. Anyway that's enough of this discussion.

    Top 10 odd D&D weapons

    big dummy thanks for the links to the manuals. I was impressed with their quality and by the fact that numerous examples show fighting with swords that are longer than the wielders are tall. I must disagree however with your assessments of which d&d weapons are represented by which historical...

    Top 10 odd D&D weapons

    I thoroughly suggest you read the articles. I've already quoted it, so I won't quote it again. If you read it you will note that they describe more than one sword over 7 pounds. http://www.thearma.org/essays/2HGS.html lists a huge number of swords, and then posts an average weight of 7.8...

    Top 10 odd D&D weapons

    Like pointing to the ARMA site. Whereupon I see multiple articles pointing out that there were 8ish pound combat swords. I don't feel the need to ask a question that they have already answered. They say to check the articles in their FAQ. Well now I finally see the problem. Big dummy, you...

    Top 10 odd D&D weapons

    the point big dummy, is that they DIDN'T refer to it as crazy. There are multiple articles on the ARMA site, as well as discussion on the forums that not only indicates that for a two handed sword 8 pounds is within the normal range, but that the weapons you keep referring to at the 5-6 pound...

    Top 10 odd D&D weapons

    big dummy there are numerous weapons that are over 7 pounds and balanced for combat. They aren't fancy looking things. They are simple. Since you tell me to go to a website, but dismiss its comments, then I do wonder what inside information you have. I concede a 12 pound sword would be...

    Top 10 odd D&D weapons

    big dummy, please check your references. There were 8 pound swords intended for combat. A well balanced 8 pound sword is usable. Where did you come up with your assumption that no swords were 8 pounds? Is this out of the air, or have you looked in every museum? I'm not talking about garbage...

    Top 10 odd D&D weapons

    Always seemed like a nice comfy weight to me. People use those mauls to split wood rather energetically you know. Nothing wrong with 8 pounds of metal, especially if it is well balanced. The other thing you have to remember is that the terms we apply to D&D weapons are not exactly...

    Who Else Has Never Been To Gen Con?

    Never been, will someday, at least to SoCal. Easier to convince someone to babysit the kids at Disney while my wife and I get the real fun. ;)

    Need help explaining something to a player

    Any game that gets into the higher levels will be handing out multiple 50+ damage attacks per round. That massive damage is so gone from most of my games.

    Which DND God would you worship?

    Torm would definitely make life interesting. Otherwise what deity, that is active, is the most powerful? Would want someone the rest of the powers wouldn't like crossing.

    Animal Intelegence

    Since animals cannot have an int above 2, the animal ceases to be an animal when it's int is increased. It does not however become a magical beast, unless explicitly stated in a spell description. Since it no longer has a type, it must no longer exist. Therefore any time you increase an...
