    FLGS in Toronto

    Yeah, they USED to have the old maps loose in a box, but that's been gone by the wayside for a while now.

    FLGS in Toronto

    Sorry Gregor, but the Snail hardly qualifies as a "F" LGS. (IMEHO) Not to mention being the most upscale in terms of collectibles means their prices are way out there. For prices and selection of stock the Hairy T is definitely the place. 401G seems to lean really really heavily towards...

    Revised movement system

    You seem to be missing out on the fact that we are talking about D&D, not a Boston Marathon. Even these little speedfreaks on a marathon would have a LOT of trouble running for an extended period in medium or heavy armor with swords, maces or spiked chains, and other standard gear, without...

    A New Take on Metamagic

    My question is, why do you choose Concentration? What is the distraction or the tribulation that the caster must overcome in order to focus on the metamagicked spell? Why would you not use Spellcraft as the skill check to meta a spell?

    Pounce

    No, that means you follow up with a FULL attack instead of a single-attack, which is what you would normally get after a move (charge) action. So you do not get a bite on the charge and then a full-attack mauling. And also, isn't it that the rakes only occur if the claw attacks themselves had...

    The Slam Attack?

    What I hate about Vamps is that if they transmorph into the Vampbat or Vampwolf forms, they lose the special energy drain when they attack with their "new" natural attacks of the new form.

    Things you like

    Ad&D2: I really liked having only four "core" classes, with the standard favourites being offhsoots or specializations of the class. Warrior (paladin, ranger, barbarian), Rogue (thief, bard, assassin, acrobat), Cleric (Druid), Wizard (illusionist, specialist). I think that setup didn't get...

    Forgotten Realms: Tyr and the head-on-a-spike

    Isn't it an accepted practice of law in Waterdeep to post heads on pikes outside the castle, of those who were killed trying to do evil against the Lords of Waterdeep? Isn't Piergeron himself a paladin of Tyr? Therefore, the whole gesture of heads on pikes seems RIGHT UP TYR'S ALLEY. Justice...

    Paladin Actions - Appropriate?

    I agree with the above. The LG paladin would be correctly offended by the discovery of the evil outsider, and justified in destroying said evil and preventing it from furthering its own evil ends. Good on him I say.

    DM Types

    You know, I didn't see that aspect in the descriptions, as describing limitations. I quite proudly declare myself as a Plotmeister first and foremost (Joss Whedon is my god), with a few of the Duelist traits (I love for fights to be hairs-breadth away from disaster and lamentations).

    What's your DMing Rule 0?

    My best advice is this: "Always be able (and prepared!) to WING IT." Your players are ALWAYS going to surprise you, whether with unforeseen strategies, unforeseen LACK of strategy, or a propensity to latch onto tangents that have nothing to do with nothing. Just go with it and (to steal from...

    Do you put downloaded artwork in your house rulebook?

    I paste downloaded monster art, monster mini pics, real-world scenery photos that match my game setting, video game scenes that do likewise, various game logos, item sketches, anything I can get my mouse on to spice up my handouts or module manuscripts. I'm a very visual person!

    Here comes a TPK by assassination (SCAP spoiler)

    But, given how unheroic a death by assassin is (and how BORING a TPK by assassinatino would be), I would give the PC's some heavy bonus to their Death Save (assuming they survive the coup de grace damage). After all, the purpose of this encounter is to provide an exciting or interesting story...

    Spring Attack with two weaps

    SA feat allows a combatant to move both before and after its attack, up to a total move of its Speed rating. This implies that if the combatant has a high BAB, he can still only make one attack roll since he is moving greater than a 5' step. But if that combatant with SA has 2 weapons in hand...
