Well, aside from the fact that'd be impossible to hit the target from any non-frontal vector, if he moves in a straight line, the amount of lead on the target is rather trivial physics exercise. In practice, no targettable object in D&D is meant to travel at supersonic speeds, and the fact that...

Nope. I'd say that's pretty well spot-on.

Spells exist for the purpose of being abused. If the only way to cause harm, damage, and mayhem was to use things that were INTENDED to cause harm, damage, and mayhem, things would become very predictable really fast. As long as the abuse is not entirely out of line on the scale of nuclear...

We prefer the term "rightfully stole".

Hmm. Legos. You know, that actually has a LOT of potential to deal with all of the miniature needs in D&D. Build dungeon maps, or even entire dungeons of out Legos. Use Legos for characters and monsters. The possibilities are endless.

As a DM, I encourage my players to be evil. I actively tempt them to be evil with promises of power, not to mention the benefits of being evil. I make the solutions to messy problems the PCs run into be very simple and transparent....if they're EVIL. Sure, the long-term consequences might not be...

Has anyone considered that the specific weapon may be near and dear for reasons other than magical bonusses, seeing as the player hasn't said anything about the magical bonusses, or even that there ARE any? Maybe it's just shiny.

I have never heard of this word, and I consider myself a fairly well-read individual. To further underscore this, I can't find it in the dictionary either. And I frankly have no idea who this "Alyssa Milano" is, although I presume the reference is to something obscene.

The players having a stronger tendency to split up and being interdependant has nothing to do with stat points, it has to do with the fact that they aren't quickly eaten in detail. If your other DM is not doing a great deal to strongly discourage this, it's no surprise that they do it. The...

I've heard a rather interesting one lately: 18d6, one reroll of initial ones, arrange into stats, 6x3, however you wish. I'd think it'd produce some interesting results. I haven't done much analysis on it yet, but I think this will neatly correct messy character generation issues: You're pretty...

That's easy enough to understand. Bread from the sky is an effect of the spell "Create Food". Therefore, a single unit of this magical energy is the defined as the amount of energy required to create a single piece of bread from the sky.

It's also worth noting that, barring magic, normal quivers aren't meant to be used by people who are upside down, and it's very hard to shoot without any frickin' arrows. Turning oneself upside down tends to result in the loss of all items which are not securely strapped in. Arrows which are...

Skillpoint retroactivity is only the beginning of clean, reconstructible bookkeeping: Frankly, the 3/3.5E skillpoint system is a horrendous mess when it comes to backtracking: If the visible manifestation of a character's skills is the +X to them, then you have a huge mess, under core rules...

Weren't things so much neater when you didn't need rules like this for "type" and whatnot, because any DM worth his salt would know to slap something like this down, and the player who proposed it silly? Back when there weren't rules like this to be argued, people who proposed something like...

PHB v3.0 does not state the effect of what happens if the spell encounters an antimagic field, merely what happens if the spell expires or is dispelled: "Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly...the subject also falls in this way if the spell is...

Right, and remember: Technically, an evil miracle is still a miracle.

Well, neither, really The monsters aren't MM monsters at ALL. In fact, I created this system out of a lack of stable access to an MM. Relying on one of your players to consult the monster manual for you over the Internet doesn't work. So I when I needed a new critter, I arbitrarily made one up...

Not true, not true. Rogues are ideal for maximal exploitation of abilities, because all of the rogue's abilities are useful and exploitable....or you can pick something else, instead!

I have a helpful table I call "Monster-o-Matic". By simply rolling up random numbers, I can, on very short notice, create a very odd monster which will be a combination of random elements: Fur, scales, feather, claws, teeth, spikes, a tail, etc. I can then describe the monster part by part, and...

This is why you partner with rogues: You don't have to worry about hitting a partymember. Just announce "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" and let loose. That's all the warning rogues need.
