    The Shadowcaster -weak?

    I'm just at a loss with the class. I really like the concept and I think all the little abilities are nice but what does this thing have over something rocking mithril or custum made Shield and Mage Armor items? Not a whole lot, as far as I can tell. Also, another point not raised is that the...

    Play Style Gripe!

    I agree with some of the sentiments expressed. To me, the oddball character or even worse, joke character, is grating, not as strong as a straight laced build, and a cop out to avoid serious exploration of a fully fleshed out character. Along with that it can be a very open protest against doing...

    Drow and level adjustment

    Mechanically they should be +2, but they way they are they are a totally suckworthy +2. Just take of SR and they become a lot more worthy and LA buyoff becomes attractive. The scaled back Drow, on the other hand, makes a much better Wizard than the +2 LA drow. Sure, no SR and the Darkvision...

    How do you feel about DM PCs?

    I've found that when they are ran as actual party members with flaws, idiosyncracies, acting on the knowledge they would normally have, being in danger with all the other PCs, and so on and so forth that they are pretty fun, and not an ubertastic build meant to show the others up that they are...

    Clerics - What do you LIKE and DISLIKE?

    War Domain is one of the most popular in my experience. Anyhow, I like how the Cleric can do a little of everything and it is a really strong class mechanically and I find that they are fun to roleplay. The alignment restriction is good, too. The one thing I don't like is how they are so front...

    DM Schticks That Grind Your Gears

    The Enforcer: Every encounter seems like its meant to punish somebody for being successful. The fighter is contributing a lot to the group and actually is the MVP, going against DM expectations and wishes? All of a sudden every encounter has at least one improbable creature like a Shadow Denizen...

    Player schticks that grind your gears

    The Antagonizer: This guy will play characters that just don't go with the group. Every bloody time. This guy will show up with a Chaotic Neutral Kender klepto when the rest of the party is a lawful band of caravan bodyguards and treasure seekers who are hired to recover objects of great wealth...

    Player schticks that grind your gears

    The Movie Quoter is great. I'm Morrowner at the WOTC boards and I suggested that PC schtick as "Reference Retard." OH, I hate that!!! You're getting immersed in the game staring down the Monster of Legend Dragonne that has been a thorn in your backside for 3 level ups and the RR will bust out an...

    Player schticks that grind your gears

    The Nonfactor: Brings in a character dramatically weaker than the other party members. Slapdash feat, spell, and equipment choices doom the character to obscurity at best and a liability at worse. Constantly whines about not contributing or being heckled for offering nothing to the group.

    What are the gamer stereotypes?

    The gamer is always a white guy younger than 30. Gamers are always fluent in Dungeons and Dragons geekinese. Chicks don't game as well as guys and always play stereotypes or cute things. But I will say a Paladin choosing to ride a Unicorn in Dungeons and Dragons is book legal and mechanically...

    The Fine Art of Quitting a Bad Game

    Be polite about it. If asked for reasons give them honestly. Just say it isn't your thing and walk away. Now walking away can be a scary thing at first. Believe, I've been there before. The first time I walked on a game I was terrified. I mean, here I am living in some podunk Wisconsin backwater...

    Yet Another Lonely-Gamer Thread UPDATE 7-8!!!!

    I say you've got to be forceful. You've got a great chance here. You've been friends with her for almost a decade, you're smart(You are posting at Enworld, after all :D ). I say you're being too reactive, it's time to be proactive. Lay your cards on the table, take her out to dinner and a movie...

    Is the original Tomb of Horrors a well-designed adventure module?

    The thing is a total meatgrinder. Unless you be as meticulous and cautious as possible your character is dead or seriously screwed. "Hmm, what's Jharek doing now Greg?" "Breathing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide." "Ooh, not good, take 5d6 damage, no save." The traps aren't even...

    Boycott VH1

    I don't think its political, its just a music show. If I were to ask you to boycott FOX News that would be a political boycott.

    Boycott VH1

    It used to be a lot better. They'd show plenty of music videos. You didn't have to stay up until 10 for a specialty block of rock or heavy metal. The Behind the Musics were usually about interesting people. VH1 didn't have this obsession with giving B and C list "celebrities" time to riff about...

    Post your favorite mood music...

    I like heavy metal music that fits with what I'm going for, especially for tough battles. For instance, I played Immolation's Swarm of Terror when the group had to tackle a Monster of Legend Hellwasp swarm. Other than that, I reccomend classic older rock in the background because its usually...
