My cleric uses a longspear; also carries a club for those times when things get ugly. My barbarian uses a greataxe; also carries a light mace for grapples. My 1st ed weapon of choice was the halberd. Also, I hate the spiked chain with a passion, though I lurved DMing that cornugon. :]

yes, this is what we do. I also am sure to strongly suggest to the player that his turn involve some amount of moving ... over here, for example. Or over here. Or right there!

whaa? I thought not. Did they change this since 3.0, or am I just flat-out wrong? Undead are just constructs made of a different material and animated by a different energy. No critical hits makes perfect sense to me. And I hate the sneak attack mechanic anyway, so I don't see a problem...

I love my half-orc barbarian. I would be remiss to recommend anything else. With those stats I would Str 16+2=18 Dex 16 Con 15 Int 14-2=12 Wis 13 Cha 11-2=9 When the time comes, you can drop an ability modifier point into Intelligence for wonderful Combat Expertise (unless you want it right...

Do everything you can to limit sorcerer's sightline. One smokestick can ruin this guy's whole fight, and make him wish he had taken gust of wind instead of scorching ray. OK, well, maybe not that extreme, but yeah, you get the point.

My wife plays a druid in the campaign that I run. I inadvertently wound up killing her PC first, which "proved" that I wasn't playing favorites, so that then I could confidently massacre the rest of the party at my leisure. She absolutely hates it when I kill her latest cutie-pie animal...

What, is it time for another Survivor poll? "PC Level Survivor!" I said 12th, because of the quadruple whammy of ability point, feat, saving throws, and usually something cool for your class. Also, because high-level magic (e.g. holy word) starts to stupidify the game, and turn everything...

I get a 403 error.

Those must be pretty big zombies.

Try the Weapons of Legacy rules.

A physical reminder on the mat helps, e.g. we always put invisible characters inside a bottle cap. The best way I have found is to basically rewrite everything I need for combat on a separate sheet of paper, and not look at the relatively overwhelming character sheet. So my cheat sheet has the...

The 1st ed Deities&Demigods / Legends&Lore books have them.

Any updates?

data transfer limit exceeded. Sorry, can't read it, but I'd like to. My current campaign is getting ripe for the killing, and I'll be cooking up a much tighter set of house rules (vs. current lassez-faire anything-WotC-goes) for my next campaign. I'd love to pick your brain.

I haven't opened my copy of RHoD in a while, but I think wyverns could be prominent. They're nice because they're sorta throwaway; if you send a dragon after the party, then the party may get sidetracked looking for the dragon's loot. Give them a group of wyverns, maybe advanced ones...

I said Yes because any spell that allows melee-as-touch is stupid, broken, suckass, and not in my game.

Danbu Hapri, Yelsub (or Yelleg) of Naproxen A lot of us seem to hail from Naproxen, hmm. I just bought my first car last summer. Now, if we are going to include motorcycles in the "first-car" bit, then I could be a Yelsuz, too. Don't particularly like my honorific.

Well, there's this: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicArmor.htm#wild It's typically for druids. See if your DM will allow it.

Give him $14 and a couple of cans of beer.

I use the WotC 3.5 screen(s). This is the set with one for D&D and the other for d20 Modern. I rarely keep them set up, but they are always at hand for when I need a chart real quick, and know exactly where to find it. I'm pretty happy (though the d20 Modern one offers limited usage, I like...
