    RPG Piracy

    I do not believe that this activity can be stopped at the individual level. Any attempt to do so is a waste of valuable time and resources. Going after the major distributors is also, in my opinion, a waste of time as it only causes a short term disruption in the activity, or no disruption at...

    How many PrC is okay?

    Capellan, just because a class allows you to do something, it does not mean that you are forced to do it. As an example, take the level of Ranger, but, never cast spells and do not select more than one favored enemy. If you're doing it for RP purposes, as you claim, the loss of a few abilities...

    Two-Handed Weapons and 1.5 x STR Mod...Too Much?

    The Master Samurai PrC from Sword and Fist grants the ability to do x2 STR instead of x1.5 STR at 4th level with a Katana (Bastard Sword) when fighting 2H.

    Solar's CR

    Yep, I missed it. I don't have much luck detecting humor. It must be a cross-class skill for me.

    Solar's CR

    He said "... using only Core rules and errata". The core rules are the PHB, the DMG, and the MM. The ELH and MM2 are not part of the core rules (as defined by WotC). Unless you've found something contained within the core rules (using WotC definition) or errata, his statement is factually...

    What module would you use to start a campaign?

    I've used B2 twice now and it's worked very well both times.

    OT: Where are you gonna be when th' clock strikes 12?

    I'll be leaving work in a few minutes (at 2300) and it shouldn't take me more than 15 minutes to get home. If I survive the drive home I'll be with my wife and children. We still have some fireworks left over from the 4th and we are going to light those off at midnight.

    How many PrC is okay?

    The PrC system really seems to encourage min/maxing, meta-gaming, and munchkins. How many of you have seen players take certain skills and feats for their characters that are never used, but are required for a certain prestige class that they want to take? How many of you have seen characters...

    Working New Year (OT)

    I'm scheduled to work from 5pm to 1:30am, but I can pretty much take off whenever I want after 9:30pm. I'll probably stay at work until 11pm and then head home.

    6 levels in 1 year?

    My players are just now reaching 21st/22nd level after 13 months of play. We meet every Saturday and each session runs from 5pm to 3am. Level progression doesn't seem to slow down at all if you use the Exp/CR system as it is printed.

    Ultra Modern Firearms!!!

    In a word, no. If you are buying the book for the gun statistics you are probably throwing your money away. There just isn't enough variation between weapons in d20 Modern to make a product like this necessary, or really very useful. My opinion. Don't get me wrong, if you know next to...

    Wiz 5 / Cle 5 / Arcanist 15 (from Netbook of Classes) Casts as a 20th level Wizard and a 20th level Cleric.

    Players not taking AoO

    I see, and exactly how much does it cost you, in any way, to remind a player to take an attack of opportunity? Would that really be such a tremendous burden on you?

    Players not taking AoO

    I guess it all depends on your outlook as the DM. If your primary goal as the DM is to screw over your players, cause them extra grief and hardship, and ensure that they suffer defeat at your almighty hands, then you'll certainly not want to remind them about the opportunities that the rules...

    [DW] Darwin's World: Recruiting

    Well, that's too bad. Please keep me in mind if you decide to do a Darwins World game in the future!

    About Defending weapons

    A +3 sword is a +3 sword. There is no rule or ruling, with regards to the Defending special ability, that changes this.

    Away from the boards over the holidays?

    I'll be working every day except for Christmas Day and New Years Day, and that means I'll be spending some time here.

    All-night gaming?

    Every session we have runs from 5pm to 4am. We always plan to end at midnight, but it never happens. Right now we are only player every other week and the players want to accomplish as much as possible every session. We eat early and drink lots of soda. Eating later really seems to make it...

    Players keeping stats secret

    IRL, do YOU know the relative intelligence levels of your friends and family members? I know that I do. IRL, do YOU know, among your friends, who makes good (high wisdom) decisions and who makes foolish (low wisdom) decisions? I know that I do. I don't think that it is, in any way...

    Sending a Fireball through an arrow slit.

    Give a supporting guard one of these... Ring of Force Shield An iron band, this simple ring generates a large shield-sized (and shield-shaped) wall of force that stays with the ring and can be wielded by the wearer as if it were a normal shield (+2 AC). This special creation, since it can be...
