    Running an evil one shot

    the party is hounded by a paladin throughout their adventure. that's all i've got. this is a rare occasion where you get to show them how great that smite ability is. use it on the tank sfter it hurts him a good one, let him use it again (DotF feat called multiple smite i think allows this) and...

    Animosity between traditional gamers and LARPers?

    i think it's because all the press that larping has recieved is linked to white wolf and vampire. now i'm sure there are some vampire players who are not eletist jerks but i have yet to meet one in person. dnd hardcores and vampire hardcores do not mix well socialy. i associate LARPing with...

    Maybe a new setting is what I need to enable me to enjoy 3e more.

    i just bought the scarred lands: ghelspad 3 days ago. i do not see any reason that you would "need" to have any of the other books. the slithereen are snake men. use yuan ti. nobody will notice unless they are really familiar with the scarred lands. the magical items in relics and rituals are...

    Any advice for a first time Psychic Warrior?

    it says in the description that the weapon can look like whatever the wielder wants it to. it just has the stats of a shortsword. that would look pretty sweet.

    1000 ways to be a D&D Snob

    267. you either refused to read or insisted on correcting the inacuracies of the "slaad farming" thread. 268. as a dm you outlawed multiclassing without training. 269. you thought up a decent backstory for an oozemaster. :) 270. you have fixed all the classes to better fit your world's...

    Any advice for a first time Psychic Warrior?

    they are pretty much like a bard in that if you focus on one thing and get as good at that thing as you can, you will be a great part of the party. if you do not focus, you will often feel less then useful. by taking speed of thought repeatedly you can be quite the speed demon. inertial armor...

    ? About Quintessential Monk

    i just work under the assumption that groups of peasants started getting together fight club style in somebody's barn because they were sick of waiting for the nobility to defend them from the rampaging orcs, goblinoids and kobolds but could not openly train with weapons because it would make...

    Multiclassing Mania

    i guess the only thing i don't like about it is the exp penalty. if i want to neuter my character's high level advancement by picking up a few rogue levels after having been a fighter9, sorceror6, that's really penalty enough, i'm not getting anything good out of the deal but i'm paying a 20%...

    Rings of Power

    this is my first review so bear with me. Rings of power is a hardcover seemingly well bound book written by 10 seperate authors. the result of this is a lack of consistency in both quality of writing and feel of the content. it has a page count of 160 and retails for $26.99 american. 78 rings...

    Bottom 5 D&D and D20 items

    it's not like anyone is mentioning anything that is new here. we have all had time to let our hatred grow for certian books that we bought and let the fire burn out for others. if i were to go right now and post a review of rings of power scalding it with my white hot tongue, who would read it...

    Vote for EN World!

    why is this one not sticking to page 1? it would be a shame if it were missed by people in north america when they get up tomorrow. it's almost 2 am on the east coast.

    what extent do you plan out your PC?

    i live in the now with some idea of where i want to go in the future. i'll start out with something like "elven archer with a chip on his shoulder" and from that build a backstory on which to base his actions. then i let circumstance decide where he ends up. if no life altering events occur he...

    Kenzer's Villain Design Handbook -- how setting specific is it?

    they sent me a hackmaster book and a kalamar adventure. well written with almost no editing errors which is more then you can say about most companies. every time i try to run the adventure something happens to kill the session. this book sounds great. why have i not heard of it by now?

    About Ravenloft

    i think he was reffering to the "be good or else" nature of the ravenloft powers checks. that is a somewhat preachy style of game when looked at from a certian perspective. i've known players who's main goal was to become some horrible creature with their character. back on topic. when gearing...
