Seasons 1 of Deadwood and Rome are 50% off this week at Best Buy so pick them up if you want them. :)

What IS Holy Diver about anyways? :uhoh:

No, we're poor and we play on a cardboard box I agree with having untagged maps, those are nice :)

WFRP is heroic fantasy? :confused: I know it's lethality is exaggerated, but it's still an extremely lethal game, with many, many bad things that can happen to characters other than death.

Antony MADE the season 2 awesome. If there's any reason to watch Rome, it's to see Antony in the 2nd season. Oh yeah, the rest of the show is good too. ;)

Ditto, although since I kinda know how to play, I just want to play it.

Blasphemy at will is annoying. It's just... not fun for the players. 1/day is fine, the creature mucks with the PC's for a round, then it can't do it again. I've taken to downgrading or swapping out blasphemy for other abilities. Bodak death gaze. With the gaze, bodaks can easily destroy an...

Bingo, this is EXACTLY what I'm advocating (in a 4e sense).

Okay, in your experience, how many spells does a dragon cast in combat? Alternatively, how many rounds does a dragon typically last for you? I'm really of the opinion that dragons don't need a massive list of spells to refer to because, really, dragons already can do a lot. They have a...

You don't need to cover all things spellcasting, just a few specific parts. I'm advocating giving each dragon a list of possible SLA's that the DM can pick from. Some at will, some once per day. I'm not advocating having the DM riffle through the spells section and pick some willy-nilly. You...

I agree that magic is essential for high level D&D, but I don't think spellcasting is required. Magical effects can be created other ways, via items, spell-like abilities (I think I've said this one before), and even some feats. So yes, in 3.x, dragons SHOULD have magic, but they shouldn't...

Monsternomicon II is quite good as well. My favorites are the Monsternomicon books and the various Tome of Horrors entries (I, II, and III). IMO, III is the best. Very creative work in it. I prefer Silverthrone Game's Book of Templates to the Advanced Bestiary, mainly because it seems just a...

Do you have to stat out a demon every time you use one? No. Demons come 'pre-built' with billions of SLA's. Dragons, OTOH, have to be specially statted by the DM, which includes giving feats, skills, AND pick spells for. Dragons are already a workload to deal with and one easy way to work this...

Well, that's the point. Maybe some people don't WANT those kinds of lairs for dragons. Besides, it really depends upon the kind of SLA's available to the dragon doesn't it? Not necessarily. Old dragons are smart and cunning creatures. Just because they lose their spellcasting doesn't mean...

This is, of course, assuming that dragons loose their spellcasting without being redesigned from the ground up. So... you're advocating that... without magic, dragons simply become Int 1 creatures?

And you got this from my post.... how?

Demons and Devils could use some simplifying I think. Most fiends CR 10 and below are pretty much fine. Most have a couple of abilities, some SLA's, but nothing that is really so bad. It's when you start looking at the higher CR fiends. Look at the hamatula. He has: - DR, SR, immunities...

The uncertainty is in the die roll. You could roll low and fail or you could roll high and succeed.
