    huh? How's that again?

    DMG2 & PHB2 - are they worth it!

    I have read both books cover-to-cover. I think the DMG2 looks super-useful for broad campaign-design. The first chapter is a waste of paper: "golly! players have different personalities!" The PH2 is quite fab, though again there's that stupid "golly! characters have different strategies!"...

    Races known to be slavers?

    Why stop with race? Lets go with religion! I'll start with Laduguer (god of toil) and Hextor. so... add duergar to the list

    Anything for a Fighter to gain a pet?

    What's wrong with using Handle Animal? It is a class skill for fighters, and a handy one at that.

    Any DMs here ever have an assistant DM?

    I had a co-DM once. He was handy for keeping track of initiative, researching rules, writing down every thing each entity did each round, etc. Now I push those tasks down to the players, but I love having a helper. I walked into his game once, and he put me to work as one of the major thugs...

    ring of evasion and armor

    So how do you wish for a +5 longsword? (yes, it costs an extra 2,500xp for that wish to be granted) But "+5" is a metagame term. Wishing for a second-level class ability is trivial. It would be like asking for Woodland Stride: hardly even feat-worthy, and certainly more colorful than wishing...

    ring of evasion and armor

    I dunno. I was just thinking about how much I love to dump fireballs onto clerics. This question is actually about a fighter running around in medium armor. Somehow he would be better off with a ring of evasion than with wishing for evasion. Or do you think a wished evasion would be somehow...

    I changed my avatar.

    I was going to go with "a slightly deformed rabbit."

    ring of evasion and armor

    Does a ring of evasion only work if you're wearing no armor or light armor? Gut feeling plus RBDM instinct equals "yes." I suspect there will be many unhappy clerics, though.

    Day #6 Smoke-Free

    QFT I smoked for fifteen years. Cold turkey didn't work for me. I just tapered off and...forgot about it. I quit about the time that I got married. I think the mental-shift that inspired me to get hitched to my girlfriend of five years was the same that inspired me to forget about smoking...

    Subscription Thread Magic - post your favorite subscribed threads

    Same here, but it took me some time to find the Thread Tools drop-down. I've never subscribed to a thread. What does it do?

    How many pages does it take to keep track of your PC's abilities?

    One side of one page for the half-orc barbarian 11, thanks. I have one of those 11x17 two-sided WotC pages filled out, but I refer to it at the beginning of the session, scribble what I need on some notebook paper, and then stash that original. By the end of the session, the notebook paper is...

    Polymorph: A Thought

    This does belong in house rules, but my simple fix to polymorph, summoning spells, familiars, and all those open-ended things is simply: you only get what's in the Monster Manual.
