I'd like to see them return to the days of books with INDEXES. :heh:

One of my players is a cook and another is a bartender/waiter (at different restaurants). They both get cut when business dies. Since we play on Saturday night, it depends a lot on the weather, local sports teams, what bar is holding a naughty underwear contest, etc. Since they're roommates...

We started off with the intent to quit at 1am (we don't start til very late due to work schedules), but for a long while ran well past to 2 or 4am... Unfortunately, my wife's attention span/stamina wall is 1:30am consistently. As the games got later, she got less interested in playing. So...

Unfortunately, I've only ever played in two convention games (both AD&D several years ago) at the same convention. In the first, we provided our own characters ahead of time. It turned out rather boring as the DM was dry and two of the characters would rather discuss the physics of a fireball...

I used to live in Tucumcari, NM. That town used to be named Six Shooter Sighting until they decided it was better to be named after a local Native American "Princess" of legend than an image of lawlessness. The town also claims to be the only place in the desert that a 6 foot "tidal" wave...

My present campaign has four factions building to war over one narrow strip of river valley in a huge tract of desert. It's represented by humans, devils, hobgoblins, and minions of a lich... The PCs are just getting a whiff of sulphur and brimstone, but the devil contingent is actually the...

As sjmiller, I too have received swag. Secret of the Squirrel in fact. I will later post how much my players hate clockwork dancing squirrels. :]

Mine is less a tale of woe and more one of altruistic sacrifice. Rather than using my limited vacation time left after my wedding this summer on myself (and Gen Con), I cashed in the bank to head to Wizard World Chicago to work the table for the second year in a row with my friend over TorC...

Quote of the week stems from my wife (of three weeks) after some scheduling difficulties with our gaming group. "Is it wrong to want to start a family just to have a stable gaming group?"

July was a light month filled with a real life wedding and some playtesting. As such, the real campaign only saw the party temporarily split up. The gnome warmage worked off his duty to the city-state by serving guard duty at a distant outpost (player was gone), while the rest of the crew...

You're right, but posessing two arms does that by itself anyway. The ECL hit helps protect against that, too. In the case of a thri-kreen character, a level 1 fighter TK will have 3 feats, 2d8 + 1d10 hp, a +3 BAB, +3 natural armor, and starting equipment (which may mean crappy armor depending...

It makes perfect sense Patryn. Thanks for the help, guys. I'll shoot this past him and see how it goes.

Brilliant! This keeps it more inline with the intent of the original feat and makes sense logically within the bounds of the rules (in my mind, anyway). A creature with four arms has more parrying options than a normal human, likewise for six arms. I think the final write up we playtest will...

I'd already realized this would come up, which is why the feat would be worded something like "provides a +1 per extra arm as a shield bonus," or some other wording to indicate it accumulates into one shield bonus. If multiweapon fighting replaces two weapon fighting, but also makes it more...

Yes. And thank you for the correction. Before that, I was asking myself why anyone would sacrifice an extra attack AND a feat for a mere +1 AC. Why not just use a shield at that point? And this is where my logic stems from. Since Mutliweapon replaces TWF, why wouldn't Multiweapon Defense...

By that logic, a many-armed character could benefit from Two Weapon Fighting, and should, therefore, have to take TWF as a prereq for Mutliweapon Fighting. That isn't the case, though. Multiweapon, like Two Weapon only requires a high Dex (13 I believe). Still, this ruling is more acceptable...

Unfortunately, it depends on which campaign it gets passed for. If it were for the campaign I'm running, it would indeed be a +1 for each extra attack you forego, or a +2 while fighting defensively. So, for example, a thri-kreen could make its primary attack, but defend itself with the other...

My Swiss Army Gnome is the most versatile tool I have. Keeps the pocket nice and warm, too.

Is Multiweapon Defense a legitimate feat already printed in some d20 source? If so, which one? If not, since Two-weapon Defense gives a +1 shield bonus when not taking the extra attack, wouldn't it make since for Mutli-weapon Defense to give a +1 shield bonus for each arm not making the extra...

Especially too short to engage in DMing if it's unfun. For an adventure that's part of the story arc in my homebrew, I've spent up to four hours of prep time per hour of play time. Part of that is because one character is constanty fighting an internal battle with devilish influences, and I've...
