    Monte on covers

    I practially ignore cover art. One of my favorite books is Rokugan, and I couldn't tell you what's on it's cover to save my life. I can swear, in all honesty, I have -NEVER- purchased a RPG book based on it's cover. I read through the content, that's all that matters to me. The cover could...

    Rap and Hip-Hop at the game table?

    Classic rock music is great for battles, but all the other times it's just annoying to listen to. But I am so freakin' sick of anything hip-hop and urban I'd walk away from a game group that had that music playing. I used to play at a game store that had crappy alternative radio stations on...

    Bards and their wacky arcane cure spells.

    Since a Cure spell isn't on a wizard's spell-list, they can't learn it. And just because bard's get it doesn't matter, a wizard could or could not research the spell (up to your DM) regardless of what a bard can do.

    Who is your favorite PC?

    I am playing a rogue I enjoy a lot in a game system named Ironclaw. He grew up knowing nothing but his thieve's guild and is now trying to repent for a life time of crime, and failing horridly. He can't seem to make the right decision.

    What is 3.0 & 3.5 missing that previous editions had?

    Meaning, "Never leave the inn the game starts in."

    AOO and reach weapons

    Moving 5 feet would never provoke an AoO unless the mover is prone and crawling. The minotaur would have to come within 10 feet of the fighter to attack his spear. The spear might have a 10 foot range, but it's only actually "in" the square the fighter is in. So if the minotaur is in the 10...

    [DM Issue] - How would you have handled this?

    Or if you're not sure if you "enemies" actualy have violent intentions or not.

    Enchantment - Victim Remembers?

    You see hundreds of people every day, do YOU recall the details of any 5 strangers you meet on the street hours later? Unless the person who charmed you somehow made themselves memorable, like asking for something really odd from you, you're not going to give them a second thought. Try working...

    Enchantment - Victim Remembers?

    Page 177, "Succeeding on a Saving Throw". "A creature that successfully saves against a spell that was no obvious physical effects feels a hostile force or a tingle, but cannot deduce the exact nature of the attack. For example, if you secretly cast Charm Person on a creature and its saving...

    Whip Information

    It's better all around now, though it still provokes an AoO and that's a bit of an annoyance.

    What is 3.0 & 3.5 missing that previous editions had?

    You mean to say that a rogue who tumbles through danger to get to the bad guy to steal the wand he's using to cast lightening bolts at the party is less heroic than the fighter who takes 20 rounds to beat through a stack of peons to do the same thing? Tumble is a good mechanic, though it needs...

    What is 3.0 & 3.5 missing that previous editions had?

    But how does a player know if something they are fighting has a save or die poison? Unless EVERYTHING has save or die poison, then in which case you're players would be wracked with fear 24/7, and that's stresfful, not fun. Not many RL poisons are lethal, why should ALL poisons in the game be...

    New 'how old are we' poll

    Born 1981. Seems odd to me that there's a bunch of people here who've been playing longer than I've been breathing.

    How long have we all been playing RPGs?

    I wanna know WTF happened in 1980-1982 that made everyone start playing D&D. Was that when the D&D cartoons was on the air? :) Ahhh, as for myself, I started playing shortly after I learned how to drive, which would have been 1997. Sure seems like I have been playing longer than that though...

    Invisible allies/creatures and their squares

    You can't overrun on a charge though. Though I did do that before the errata, though it's not techically do-able any more. Also, if you go by a strict reading of the rules, you can only overrun an opponent. That's a technicallity more than anything else, but a DM could stop it if he wanted...

    What is 3.0 & 3.5 missing that previous editions had?

    You realize that for 99% of the monsters in the MM1 and 2, those descriptions are still perfectly valid. You can find those old books and use them to help flesh out you stable of monsters.
