The closest analogue might actually be a Darklord of the shadowfell--Both cursed and empowered by the evils he's committed and the tragedies he's suffered, Granted incredible control, but only over his domain.

Pick up this PDF. It's a never-released-in-print supplement for the Alternity Version of Dark•Matter that focuses on the Final Church and the Demons they worship. The adventure is pretty nice, and is pretty easy to convert to d20M, and the general information on cults and demons is also pretty...

Elephant w/ howdah! Tri-horn Behemoth w/ howdah! Astral Dreadnaught, with separate floating eyeball. What about a Unique Eladrin Lord with a huge-sized mount? Perhaps that one sea-lord riding the crest of a living wave (making the water elemental folks kinda happy)

Dual Classing, Court of Stars, and a Dungeon/Dragon crossover called "Arcane School"? This is shaping up to be the best month ever.

Seems like there are a number of situations where the swallowed target can't take the necessary action to actually take advantage of his or her mark ability. For example, most of the swallow abilities daze the target, rendering the swallowed creature incapable of taking immediate actions. That...

For Starters, Dragon Magazine has released several adventures in both 3e and 4e. I'm not quite clear whether those were 3e adventures updated to 4e, or 4e adventures that were converted for 3e, but either way it makes the point that such a conversion is possible.

Anthony, find yourself a 3rd level party, and throw a 15th level dragon against them. See for yourself whether or not they run screaming.

See, this sort of thing is why I, as a GM, am constantly forced to "forget my dice", and borrow players' "Lucky Dice" for those extra-important rolls. That 235566 one would be absolutely perfect for a 4e recharge die.

As far as the 4e adventures go, I find them railroaded, but not atypically so when compared to other convention games of a similar type. The tournament games I've played in have been just as railroaded as LFR games, as have most D&D games where I was allowed to create my own character. the 3e...

I'm not asking a game to transform a disfunctional group into a functional one. But I think there's become a tendency to label groups as disfunctional merely because they're having problems with the game. Where do you draw the line?

Planescape, basically. (Hence Shemeska's devotion to non-statted gods)

So, we've pretty clearly established that Maximus is a Hexblade/Psychic Warrior or a 1e Monk, so how about another batch of characters? 5. Link Hero of the "Legend of Zelda" video game series. 6. Susan Pevensie Older Pevensie sister from C.S. Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia". 7. Will Turner...

But doesn't this sort of thinking let the game off the hook for practically any flaw? "It doesn't matter if there aren't rules for character creation--A good DM can compensate for that."

But how is it a bad thing that this player seeks to be effective in combat? And in what way does his decision not to use a shortsword run contrary to role-playing. If there are better weapons available, choosing to use those weapons instead parallels the actions of nearly every historical and...

Aragorn: 3e: half-elven ranger with some fighter levels 4e: half-elven warlord, multiclass ranger Odysseus: 3e: Human swashbuckler 4e: Human rogue multiclass warlord Maximus: Don't know a thing about him, but I bet his 4e version would make use of that sweet Gladiator article from dragon...

I'll bite. In what way does a game designed for (the modern) RPGA play not often meet the requirements of a home game?

If people are jerks independant of system, then I don't want to game with them even if they're my friends. Hence the my italics in the original post. I don't mean this in specific reference to the problem being discussed in the thread I forked from. I'm just kind of sick of hearing people say...

Forked from: Fighters didn't matter after 11th level? Submitted for your consideration: Any "Player Problem" or "DM Problem" involving a player or DM that I want to play with is a problem with the system.

I'll second that. The 3e grapple rules themselves are pretty simple, and if one PC tried to grapple another PC there wouldn't be any problems (well, unless you get the low STR gnome grappled by the Goliath with the improved grapple feat, but that's not a problem of rules comprehension). The...

Gugalanna, the sumerian Bull God, was slain by Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Gilgamesh is described as a demigod, but Enkidu is fully mortal. In general, there are few circumstances where a clearly-defined non-god has killed a clearly defined god, but much of that is because deific status is never as...
