    The Unity of Rings (drnuncheon's Online Planescape Story Hour) - Pilot (7/20)

    Very cool, Doc. But someone needs to tell Deynann and Co. the story of the jongleur and the calzone. Also, does the player of Deynann get to play the imposter as well when the real one isn't present? How is that being worked so that it's not a dead giveaway?

    [3.5, humor] 3.0 errata not fixed!

    Perhaps your 'erratum' was (mis?)filed under artistic license? :D

    Problem - As a DM, What Would You Do?

    Usually I end up cobbling things together from a variety of sources, and so making changes to published adventures is the norm. That said, I normally don't sit my group down and say: "OK, next week we'll be running Adventure X," as that's just inviting trouble. Rather, I would just slip it in...

    I attack his ring!?

    Does your adventuring group have a name?

    In the group I run, the players tend to play wanderers, misfits and outcasts. When the fifth character rejoined the group after finally getting resurrected by the party, he took one look and dubbed it the "Fifth Wheel Adventuring Company".

    Tactics class. Begin now.

    One of Wulf Ratbane's IronDM submissions had a phase spider whose poison that had been modified to do STR damage instead of CON. Phase in, free action. Attack. Phase out, move equivalent action. Do this repeatedly until one or more targets are helpless, then grapple them and carry them off...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Whirlwind Attack & Cleave

    I don't have the revised PHB, but I think someone posted the gist of the new WWA. Now, please don't hit me if this turns out to be wrong, my memory can be half-baked at times, but... IIRC, Whirlwind Attack can now attack anyone within reach, and it can not be used in conjunction with other...

    Iron dm summer champion announced!

    Yesterday morning, I was humming and hawwwing, trying to come up with some interesting side-jaunt for my player's Sunday afternoon game. So I wandered on over to these boards and decided to check out (read: mine) the Iron DM thread for ideas. When I read Wulf's entry, I immediately thought to...

    Most power in a game: Multiclassing?

    Well, you only lose the extra attack for one level, until you add either another cleric or fighter level, or something else that gives you +1 BAB. I thought in your original post you meant losing the one extra attack for good, not by deferring it for a level, which to me isn't a "loss", per se...

    Most power in a game: Multiclassing?

    Sure, at 20th level. In the years I've been playing since 3e came out, I've yet to level one of my characters up to that point. Basing your character's progression on what you may ultimately achieve can be something of a false hope. Vurt

    Official responses to 1 min/level Buff spells

    Re: Re: Re: Official responses to 1 min/level Buff spells OK, I've seen this written several times now, and either I'm extremely dense, or I'm just missing something; likely both. But why, exactly, do sorcerer's need, or should they have, Use Magic Device? Vurt

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Psionics and 1hr/level buffs...

    Those changes certainly sound reasonable. Mostly I'm concerned about psywars running out of PP after an encounter or three and hiding behind the sorc for the rest of the day. :D But hey, in the General Discussion forum, looks like April 1st, 2004 is being bandied around as the release date...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Psionics and 1hr/level buffs...

    Maybe, but part of the problem with the animal buffs was spellcasters casting all them all on everyone else in the party. With Animal Affinity's range of 'personal', that just isn't going to happen for a psionicist. I don't think I could simply accept that change, it's definitely something I'd...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Psionics and 1hr/level buffs...

    Well, a low level psywar isn't going to be able to use mind blast until 6th level or so, and even so, that's one attack that basically nerfs his power for the rest of the day. How many fireballs does a 6th level sorcerer get? Three? Four with a reasonable charisma? And then a slew of lower...

    Magic Missile vrs. Displacement

    Ah, I hadn't realized that "target" was a technical term, at least as far as game mechanics go. So I can only "target" with spells, interesting... Vurt

    Magic Missile vrs. Displacement

    Eh? By that logic, if I target the displacee with a crossbow bolt I wouldn't suffer the 50% miss chance. Vurt

    Half Drow from Races of Faerun question

    On p. 86 of the MM it states that drow get darkvision 120', which replaces a normal elf's low light vision. Since half-drow are part drow and part human, there's nowhere else for them to pick up low light vision. Hence, a half-drow's darkvision replaces a normal half-elf's low light vision. Vurt
