i just think that double weapons should have the same penalties as two medium weapons for fighting with two weapons and be considered martial weapons. basically they are just a pumped up quarterstaff, so leave the q-staff as a simple weapon and the only one that wields with the penalties of a...

so, it's 1993 and i have just completed my first year of high school a close friend of mine who was a teammate on the football team lends me a trillogy of books: called dragonlance chronicles. after reading one each day for the first three days of summer vacation i went to his house to return...

are there other kinds of dwarven fighters? withought them, who would joyfully bathe in ale? who would fling themselves bodily at enemies with high damage reduction in a vain attempt to knock them down for easy killing by the rest of the party? who would insure that every goblin the party ever...

ah, it's been awhile since i saw any 1e stuff. by all means, convert away.

disco inferno that of course assumes disco will not get you fired.

ok, correct me if i am wrong but wasn't the 1e bard (as far as the rules for creating one anyway) basically a 3e milticlassed fighter, rogue, druid? what's to convert? x levels of fighter (the 5-7 might be a little high for 3e) , x levels of rogue, druid the rest of the way. done, next...

i will purchase every single thing i ever see about dwarves until the day i die. my terrible scottish accent will be heard for untold decades as my characters swing their ever larger axes. (imagine if you will kreden blackstone, the two weapon fighter with monkey grip: great axe and a str of 22...

the worst character that has ever existed in a party i have been involved in was a chaotic neutral pyromaniac mage. need i say more? i do? he was min maxed so badly with the spells and magic book that he wore full plate while casting. more? ok, the player gave him this strange scottish/mexican...

i found it amusing that everyone on these boards made jokes about a potential "ninjaworld" all the while i was thinking, perhaps if i write up a decently written "ninjaworld", wotc will realise that if so many kids made a ninjaworld, they would probably buy a decently written one. and really...

perhaps it's my group, but i get more xp in nearly every session for my roleplaying then i do for fighting. it's not that we do not fight. but all you have to do to make dnd less combat oriented is not fight so much and award xp for roleplaying. it takes a little work to figure out the EL of a...

is it the crappy combat mechanics, or the poorly written rules text? seriously if you need the system to "encourage" you to do anything you need to find a new hobby. i play DnD exclusively though i have tried other systems (gurps, shadowrun, paladium, and countless others) and quite frankly the...

i hate bards. i allways have. the idea of a traveling entertainer is not stupid, but the idea of some jerk off running around in a dungeon with his trusty lute at his side singing to his companions is, to me, unbearably stupid and irritating. i think that's why i liked 2e dragonlance, no bards...

i know that personally, game night is really the only time i get to talk to my gaming friends because of conflicting schedules so we do alot of this sort of thing. if that is even remotely similar to your situation such things are to be expected. you mentioned multiple campaigns so you might...

yes, all of that plus, imagine what the lawful neutral order of wizards dedicated to the sole purpose of keeping everything exactly the same would think. i pity the poor player who chooses to take them on. :)

here is what i did, i made up a new armor enchantment. basically for the cost of adding +1 to your current armor, you subtract 5% from the arcane spell failure. so to wear plate mail with no arcane spell failure % would have to pay for the costly +9 enchantment. lighter armor costs less and is...

take barbarian first so you can have 4 ranks in intimidate. the other benefits are good too but i see this as the most important one. stay back, assist the party, then run in and mop up when you have no spells left that can help. that's my advice. sounds like a really fun to play character.

half way through writing up my world i gave it a new wrinkle, the new wrinkle i gave it basically created the next campaign i will run in the world. perhaps every campaign that i ever run on the world. i can't wait to nail players with this one. woo hoo.

6 lev 1 characters vs 12 cats out of the mm. TPK. it was horrible, they couldn't hit the cats at all. it's just nasty watching a party get whittled down 1 point at a time.

the main question to ask yourself when thinking about xp awards for pring an evil character is this: did he advance his goals or the goals of the party. just like with a good character. if the assassin's goal was to slaughter every woman and child in existence and he let these ones go, then dock...

in the who are the characters section, are you looking for specific character descriptions typical to the setting, or the list of available races and classes? or both? i would prefer to win or lose on the merrits of my submission's quality, not because i did not give the required information...
