Well, the weight is kind of silly. By the magical wrongo DMG chart the item should be more like 22,000gp for a +2, 88,000gp for a +4, and 198,000gp for a +6. That is, 50% more for each secondary (and tertiary) ability, and 50% for body-slot issues. That said, I might inflate these to a...

OK, but now let us pay attention to body-slot affinities in your example. Your ring is not 3,500gp; it is 4,250gp. And the loss of an open ring slot. [I have lately been mulling over a flat 10% surcharge on any custom items that do not appear in the DMG. That would make this ring 4,675gp...

Someone gave my father the Basic box set (including B2) for his fortieth birthday in 1982. He never touched it. I cracked it open a year or two later, realized: 1) how insanely complicated it was, and 2) that you couldn't play it one-player, and no one around would play it with me. A year or...

I went to Endgame http://endgameoakland.com/ today. wow! I mean, really, wow! They are spacious and two stories and OMG! amazing! It looks like they're comparable to Games of Berkeley, with a lot more floor space. They may lack a little in the minis department, but they have tons of...

yeah, this is what I thought was the most dunderheaded. You can't get into the PrCs until 7th-10th level, and the adventure is 1st-6th or 7th. There does not appear to be any sort of sequel to this mod coming out, so ... then you're stuck with these PrCs in campaigns where they may not...

...and a -2 circumstance penalty to all Charisma-based checks. And a -2 circumstance penalty to Spot checks (smoke gets in your eyes). And a -1 penalty to all Constitution checks made to hold your breath, for ten minutes.

Yeah, but that example (righteous might to grow wings) is just Andy Collins being wrong. Or maybe not, but I think the majority of DMs would not allow that workaround (I didn't, and I ran this a couple of months ago). Even a size Large dwarf is still a medium base creature. Note that that...

I just finished reading the whole thing. I'm uneasy about the statblocks (haven't doublechecked them, likely won't bother), because there are so many errors in the text! Spelling! Grammar! Obvious cut-and-paste! Didn't they hire an editor? What the heck do they pay Chris Sims for, anyway?

yes, thank you, genius. Maybe next time you can figure out what a SPOILER is.

How about the Thread Troll, the n00b, and the Rules Lawyer?

OK, so they didn't actually kill the creature, but they got through the encounter alive. In one of the WotC modules there is a roper who is waaaay above the party's level (the point of the encounter is to teach the party that there are some fights they cannot win). So this roper, standing...

Astonishingly enough, the group in which I play executed an orderly retreat last game. It was unbelievable: cohesive and methodical. Granted, we learned to do this after many brutal and ugly PC deaths in this (RttToEE) campaign, including one fight that had only one PC survivor. Also, it...

yeah, I didn't see the big deal when I was over there. It's just a store. my god, I have probably walked past this a dozen times and never knew it was there! will learn to keep eyes open. As a regular of GoB, I resent being called "friendly." ;) I also know that one of the employees would...

This is very close to my visualization. I have always seen it behave like the PPG of Babylon 5. (those pistols with their air-warping effect)

Just because the Irish can also be called removed by admin doesn't make that word any less offensive, or validate its usage, or able to live up to whatever pointless explanation you're attempting to make. There can be no acceptable defense for the painfully ignorant title of this thread...

yeah, this is a tricky subject, and there are lots of viewpoints and house rules. Currently I run it as mithral fullplate is medium armor, end of story. For my next campaign I am considering interpreting it that yes mithral fullplate is medium armor, but requires heavy-armor proficiency. Or...

I'm just another damn bard: better than someone at everything, better than anyone at nothing. And I have two music degrees, natch.

Poison is usually Chaotic, because it is often illegal. Evil, well, I can't imagine a Good use for it. It is used to maim and kill in the same way as a land mine: sure you had the proper intention when you applied it, but ... since it's on that weapon or in that trap or coating that doodad you...

wowzers. You have a lot going on there. Can you do me a big big favor, though? Please omit the name of the plane from your post, as I am soon to run my players through this module, and I have so far successfully misdirected them. One of them is a big ENWorlder. thanks. Also, your template...
