Heh. :) I'm the survivor! Ah well, I guess we got a lesson in what happens when you tangle with the drow. :eek: It was my first higher level experience with them and I can really see why people hate them so much... Shame we failed so close to our goal, but it has to happen sometimes? The...

The best in game use of christian religion I've seen was from one particular GM who ran a couple of Ars Magica games. He wove biblical material into the setting very neatly, although it was a large dose of history in with the religion... Was a lot of fun. Except for our brush with St. Dominic...

Depends on the weapon the character generally used. Like others have said, I'd rate +1 to hit as stronger for large melee weapons or characters with a weaker BAB. I'd seriously consider +1 to damage for a light weapon fighter. Definitely the +1 to damage with a ranged weapon. IME, they tend...

IIRC, Arcane strike is in the Complete Arcane, Spellsword in the Complete Warrior... I'm about 95% on those!

Considered making one of these guys for the game I'm playing in atm. Always worth noting that True Strike is a V/F spell... no spell failure for casting in armour. Full Plate all the way. :) The DD gets nice Str boosts, but offsets their lowered BAB. If I wanted to play a fighter type, I'd...

Think it'd be a blast to play, I'd give it a go as an experiment. Like others have said there are certain combinations that are possibly best avoided... One answer might be themed Gestalt where everyone gets the same 'free' class. I was going to do this for a silly short campaign. Most likely...

I've got the same situation in my group... 6 core players and another 3 who turn up from time to time. We actually mix and match this idea. One prefers to have his own PC, we just 'grandfather' him up to an apt. level when he's there. The other 2 both like having PC/NPC types. Sometimes feel...

Ah, Mutants and Masterminds... heard a lot of good things about that. Might be time for an extended browse in my local FLGS... Champions also sounds worth a look. Being used to 3.X D20, I'm not scared of a complicated ruleset! What's the schtick for that game? Superhero toolkit... very...

You're more annoying than a #@&%$£$ kender. That one got slung at someone I gamed with. Wasn't an unfair comment, but they didn't take it well.

Got a possible hankering to run a superhero game. Wondering what's out there and any good? D20 or not, it doesn't really matter! However, the less books needed the better. :)

Never again! (exceptions: Paranoia, some cyberpunk type games) IME, it just leads to bad feelings. The only time I've seen it work well was when 2 players agreed OOC that they were going to try and kill each other... led to a tense but captivating session. But that was a strange campaign and...

I'd be all for tracking him down in the afterlife and finishing the soul off. Although if he's really Evil, then he might end up somewhere a bit 'interesting'. Also in the hands of some serious GM calls about what happens after death. Like someone said, imprisonment is probably more effective...

I was involved in a very nasty one a couple of years ago. Was going to write the long version of this, but it's not that interesting unless you were there. Had a GM had a real gift for description and dialogue. Ran some really fun games, but over time the players got more and more hacked off...

Some fantastic ideas here! A cow, some restraints and the mages circlet of intellect could be a good starting point. Glad the ranger quit playing. :) Next up, a sack of carrion crawlers and a troll. Nice! Finally the ring of sustenance... think we even have a spare tooling around. Although...

No penalties for multiclassing. Humans and Half elves gain +1 skill point per level in the base class they have the most levels in and their first prestige class. Cross class skills cost 1/point, but the maximum ranks are the same as usual. Raise Dead type magic is not found on anyones spell...

So, Orc Creche = Mind Flayer buffet? :) Good idea... Although knowing our GM, 'Don't ask, don't tell' will land us in more trouble than it's worth! :) Think they have to be sentient. Certainly noticed it thinks the diviner has the best looking brain... Either that or it's found a facial flaw...

Brimshack beat me to it... kid tied to shield. Always fun. :) Either that or give them an opponent to duel with. Blackguard/Evil Knight challenging them out to single combat? Make them a farily defensive build so they can last a while. Would keep the player busy and give them a warm glowy...

Now that's a fantastic idea... Make it a proper pet. :)

In the game I'm playing in, we have acquired a new friend... A friendly Mind Flayer. Called Glass. We'd originally contacted him to buy some information and he agreed to show us to the place we needed to go. During all this, his home city was destroyed... rendering him homeless. That's pretty...

Played in my session of Morrus high level game in about a month. Paused for holidays and other RL stuff. Into our 3rd session in a row without resting. Casters are really scraping the barrel and for the first time in ages my sorceror is close to running dry. We're on some seriously tight...
