The "one of the guys" point that many have brought up is a good one. Take a look at how the males in your game group treat each other and then compare it to how they treat you. If Bill asks, "How does an AoO work again?" is he answered with (A) "Good question, Bill. It's on page XXX of the...

I'm of the opinion that there's no such thing as a wasted skill point or a useless rank, especially in a story-driven campaign. It's YOUR character, play him how you wish to and give him ranks as you see fit. Ariel

I'm going to have to agree with the general consensus and say you're unfortunately gaming with a bunch of jerks. I'm female, have always been the only girl at the game table (except for a one-shot session), and I have not experienced any of the problems you have. The only player who ever gave...

We are the Company of the Sunset, named after the Sunset Mountains of Faerun. It is worked into the company charter that the last surviving charter member will own the rights to the company name. Ariel

I am a Mithril Dragon! And it describes me quite well, too. Except for looking like a multi-ton, 150' long disco ball. At least I *hope* I don't look like that! :p Ariel

When we made the switch from 2e to 3e, we waited until we'd completed a quest, and when the characters awoke the next morning, the DM said, "The world just seems a little bit different, and you feel a little bit different as well." That was all. I'm not sure how it's going to go with the...

I had my bottom wisdom teeth pulled at age 21. There wasn't enough room for them to come in so out they had to come. I was awake but took the laughing gas so it was no big whoop. One tooth broke as it was being pulled so the dentist had to big a bit to get each piece out. One deep stitch in...

WotC had 3E stats for Cadderly as a Chosen of Deneir on their website a few months back. Should still be in the archives. Ariel

Our nearest gaming store is a 2 hour drive from our home. We've only been in once, but it's a nice little place and they had a decent selection of gaming products and accessories. And the fellow working did tell us that they would gladly special order anything we wanted that we didn't see...

This is good to hear. I'm a big DemonWars fan and had heard some iffy things about FF, so I'm relieved to learn that the sourcebook looks good. Ariel

If the OP is still looking in on this thread for suggestions, I would recommend that anyone making any kind of significant diet change visit a registered dietician. They can give you a sample diet plan, recipes, and help you learn which substitutions you need to make to maintain a balanced diet...

I just barely fit in the amateur collector category...I have 97 dice. I keep having* to buy more sets as my ranger gains critters following him around - he's up to three. With the two animals my wizard has (tressym familiar and guard dog) I roll seven initiatives each combat. *Of course...

I'm an agnostic leaning toward atheism myself. I agree, very few women roaming those circles... Ariel

Ariel here, definitely female. ;) I have a degree in Atmospheric Science and am employed as a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. I am also preparing for my first full-course teaching gig at the local 2-year college this fall (I taught meteorology labs as an undergrad - now I'll...

If the player of the charming half-orc is uncomfortable with what's going on with the other players, there needs to be a talk away from the table. While there's obviously bound to be racism in the game - and early on that might have been understandable if the other characters had had nothing...

Shoot! Reading the original post I was all excited that I'd get to use my experiences growing up on the farm to answer a question...but I've been beat to the punch. :( Gez said it all, though. Chickens don't travel well and they don't lay every day. They aren't the smartest of creatures and...

I've played my wizard up to 12th level straight-up, no multi-classing, no PrC...but when she goes to 13th she's probably taking a level of Spell Chandler (Candle Caster). There are two characters in our campaign (played by the player) who are straight-up fighters. But the higher level one is...

In our main campaign I currently run two characters, one female, one male. The female has been my character since day one, the male was a NPC that I took over. Playing the male hasn't been difficult at all. I just get myself into a different mindset when I'm being Devin as opposed to Zorra...

What Zogg said. :) While my favorite class is wizard (followed closely by ranger), I would have to say clerics have the most possibilities. I currently run a cleric of Mielikki, but in an one-shot epic campaign I played a Doomguide of Kelemvor. Those two characters, though of the same class...
