    Just for note, and I know it is a typo, but ... As others have stated, DMM = Divine Metamagic. DDM, I believe, is a shorthand that some people use for D&D Miniatures. Like I said, I know you were refering to DMM and not DDM, but I thought the similarities in abbreviation are eerily related.

    How do you like your Monster Manuals?

    I didn't vote, because I honestly only have MM1. I've never felt the need to buy any more. I can come up with classed monsters just fine on my own, so I typically won't buy a book if there is more than a very small smattering of them. In fact, even one may be enough to really turn me off -...

    I'm sorry, but I have to throw up an argument at this point. Fortunately, I don't think that my argument contradicts anything that has been already said, because I believe my condition is assumed by the OP and thus the need wasn't felt to be said. However, anytime anyone offers up and...

    Your favorite alternate D&D magic system?

    Not trying to be snyde or argumentative here, but my favorite system is to eliminate magic altogether and simply use psionics. That would get my vote. I suppose this would mean that I would vote for the UA variant. But, since I've never seen any of the other systems, my vote isn't really that...

    Awake, My Unthread Minion!

    You meant tomb-foolery, no doubt ... given the context of the thread! :D Back to the poll: Personally, I don't mind thread necromancy. What I really dislike is the posters who snydely comment to a poster above them something along the lines oh "You obviously didn't catch that this thread was...

    What are the 5 most powerful feats in the PHB?

    Well, this points ot one of my biggest personal issues with the druid. Whenever I've seen them played around the table, when the druid does stay in wildshaped form they still continue to contribute to the conversation around the table. Last I checked - although I could be wrong - a wildshaped...

    Raistlin in Night Below

    Yeah, I'm with you. But I think most of the 80's stereotypical curly hair tied up behind a headband makes women look like men almost across the board. Never thought much of her - especially in the way art based on the novels portrayed her.

    Psionics compared to regular classes?

    All in all, I think they are well balanced. There's not a one of them that can out-power the cleric. Yet, a psion or wilder put next to a sorcerer is comparable. [Not terribly fair to compare the wizard in psion because a wizard is still more versatile.] The psy warrior can often out-muscle...

    Drow of the Underdark information

    This is the first month this year that I've been excited about the releases. I'm looking forward to this book (and COmplete Champion). I hope to pick up both, but I'll be looking before I buy. Complete Scoundrel taught me that! In either case, thanks for the post, Merric! Cheers! :D

    Cleric/Paladin Build for EtDWP

    Character looks interesting - and welcome to the boards! Justa note, I'm assuming when you say point buy that you are talking about adding up the pure ability scores. In your case, 15 + 12 + 12 + 14 + 10 + 17 = 80 points. In 3.5 lingo, this would equate to a 8 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 13 = 37 point...

    Prestige Classes

    I like PrCs and I let the players use them freely (with a very small list of disallowed PrCs). There are some combinations that are unbalancing, of course. But then again, I don't play with powergamers. I play with people who like to put good imaginations to good use. They aren't wanting to...

    Into the Moral Darkness: (Now a Completed Story!)

    Ischarus responded to Ophee’s appreciation. “Think nothing of it, Ophee. We’re not about only helping ourselves. We’re about helping to stop any kind of injustice.” Brandt chuckled. “I agree. That pretty much sums up worshipping Reah, for the record. Where the worship of Reah is strong...

    What are the 5 most powerful feats in the PHB?

    Hey, that's cool. Lord knows I've made plenty of mistakes when posting. I just wanted you to know. Back on topic, I used to consider Imp Init a must have, but I think it also depends on the campaign. In a campaign with more than average amounts of combat, the stock in this feat goes up. In...

    What are the 5 most powerful feats in the PHB?

    Um, it is in my PHB. V. 3.5, p. 90. THe description is on p. 97. For your knowledge.

    What are the 5 most powerful feats in the PHB?

    Not to be argumentative, but this is really situational and I'd prefer to answer with some guidelines. For example: 1. Say a game is combat heavy and a 40 point buy is used. Suddenly, the game takes on a certain tone in which certain feats are better than others. 2. Perhaps you are playing...

    Favored Soul

    I agree to your second comment. {I agree to your first comment, too, but that pretty speaks for itself in my earlier post about RAW/flavor argument regarding the diety and interaction with the character}. However, I see the FS not as an offensively combat-minded build, but rather as a...

    Favored Soul

    True, of course. However, given that the flavor of an FS is supposed to be even closer to a diety than a cleric ... I do not think KD's argument is a flavor-stretch. RAW, I agree that it only pertains to the cleric, though. In the end - all things considered - I agree with KD in that a DM...

    Favored Soul

    Depending on how you build your FS. Typically, casters who suffeer the most from MAD are ones who must have high DCs to power their offensive spells. My summoning/planar ally/healing FS rocks as the party's all around necessary character. She doesn't do much damage herself ... but she is...

    Into the Moral Darkness: (Now a Completed Story!)

    Once the hugs were given out and the group was gathered once more around the table – this time with Ophee – Rhema turned to their newest arrival and altered the conversation. “So, is your master’s business private or is it a matter of public knowledge? I am curious about what kind of work you...

    Ain't no one gettin' round HER!

    You Tribs! I remember you from back when I played in your mindfields campaign on another site! How you been? Anyway ... you have definately started something here. What about the hostile minded momma. 'You momma so dense that there ain't nobody that can think around her.' [Free Hostile...
