    Looking for cheesy tactics

    Have you checked the smackdown forum? There's a few expert pieces there. Alternatively, see how much uranium you can pick up for 150K.

    Dragon #312

    I personally think a better name for an evil-type assassin class is "AIIIEEeee-*urk*-*wheeze*".

    Survival Horror

    Maybe it comes with being old and jaded, but undead just don't scare anymore. Once the first NPC starts turning into zombies, I'm inclined to yawn and reach for my drink, just waiting for the next thing to happen. The truth is, nobody can help you. If you want to do something truly horrific, you...

    Wizards vs Sorcerers

    It is my opinion that wizards make better non-adventurers. Wizards are about planning, study, and contemplation. Sorcerors are about nuking the crap out of stuff and wreaking havoc and mayhem. Wizards do best when they can operate on a predictable plan and from a secure base wherein backup...

    Giant ants ate my characters!

    Well, it's like the saying goes: Life is like a sandwich. Some days you eat the sandwich, other days the sandwich eats you.

    Please clarify Overrun/Charge for me

    Well, I suppose you COULD manage to overrun and charge the same target if your character had the ability to make non-linear U-turn charges, but otherwise, absolutely not.

    Please clarify Overrun/Charge for me

    1. Yes. 1a. Yes. 2. No. 2a. See 2.

    Sounds like you guys have been working on the railroad.

    Mature Gaming- Are we too rules oriented?

    You're only young once, but you're never too old to be immature. When you get older, and perhaps you're even there, you'll look back and realize just how much fun being immature was.

    Antimagic vs. Form altering spells

    Actually, Fly hitting an antimagic spell *DOES* result in the misunfortunate sucker plummetting to his doom: PHB v3.5, p232: "Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly...but not if it is negated by an antimagic field." Therefore, there *IS* a...

    Yeah. And where have we seen THAT before?

    Balancing Spellcasting PrCs [updated with multiclass rule]

    That is where the room for evil comes in: Great power at a cost. With many of the PrCs in BoVD, I was like, "Okay....and this is what my special choices are in the evil department? I think I'm going to stick with freelancing it."

    Campaign Questionnaire

    I think you mean "PC mortality", which applies specifically to PCs or just general "lethality", which applies to everyone. Me, personally, I like a high degree of lethality, period. Fights should be concluded more through skillful manuevering, tactics, and perforation of vital organs, not...

    Giants

    I don't really think a "giant" type makes sense, period: Giantism is all relative, anyway. "Giants" are simply bigger humanoids. If it's got a size like "Huge", it's a giant unless you happen to be huge. Even if YOU don't want to call it a giant, if I see one, *I* sure as hell am going to call...

    How do we really want combat to be?

    I concur wholeheartedly. You're not getting it.

    Spellfire--Is it too powerful?

    Well, one of the disadvantages would be that people have an interest in dissecting you like a lab animal. That's sort of irritating, and you only have one shot of this. For amusement, try to get the character's own partymembers to hand him over for dissection. If you can get the hapless player...

    Antimagic vs. Form altering spells

    Yes, but this isn't the same: The individual isn't being enlarged: The individual HAS been altered in size, and fits comfortably in this size: Now the effect which causes this size no longer exists. As a result, the object is no longer able to BE in that size: Bad things happen. This is the...

    Reach weapons, large creatures and 5 ft. steps

    But if you miss because of the cover, then the cover(itself) is struck instead. This, of course, is silly, so a creature cannot provide cover to itself unless parts of itself are clearly designed to be used as large shields.
