    Constructive Crit. for New Race: "Golemi" Please.

    If you have the time, please scan this home brew race for a home brew campaign. Please, if you may wish to, offer up any aid you can to making it nice and balanced. Please do not, however, offer up any totally revamped construct races or "correct, my personal versions" to be used in place of...

    Technicalities of running an online game

    Open RPG. www.openrpg.com I believe free, make yer own server, make yer own character sheets with built in buttons. there are rollers.. supports macros with hot keys... has a map/drawing area and allows people to import minis / images. The only complaint I can think about it is that it isn't...

    Class Concept (Potentially vile) - Combat Chemist

    That does sound interesting. Chemists or alchemists are a great concept for a class.

    Which method do you use to determine ability scores?

    used to be 4d6 drop lowest, any order.. but this campaign it's 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. While it's hard, I wouldn't really have it any other way. Combat feels good and challenging yet appropriate. If anything the campaign is pretty much set on "Hard" this way and it's good.

    Planar prestige classes?

    getting ahold of an amulet of the planes with an average intelligence, my lil halfling qualified for gatecrasher on a non FR / non planescape campaign in 10 rounds... mind you everyone else was fighting a gold dragon with a helm of opposite alignments on .. but still! ^_^ I like the Planar...

    Roll Player -> Role Player .. hopefully

    Please, please tell me the avatar of Kool Aid burst through the hull of the ship you were in for his entrance! I've never seen a powergamer turned into a roleplayer truly, only advance into at best a kind of hybrid power-roleplaying gamer... and I don't think that player would ever remove his...

    Divine Agent

    I'm asking as a player. As a DM, I'd simply have a very hard time recommending this class to one of my players... then again the god of all the pcs in my game is quite dead- so there'd be a problem getting this PrC into the campaign anyway. ^_^ I agree that the godly gifts can either make or...

    Divine Agent

    Could anyone point out a saving grace or three for this prestige class out of Manual of the Planes? I love the character type it presents- an especially picked person who acts as a hand of god, recieving visions and instructions that may or may not be understood but always followed due to...

    What does the paladin do when...

    Cool situation to be in (assuming this is a campaign clincher rather than a normal day for your paladin)... This is a great opportunity to really branch off in different ways with your character imo. if you want to try an guilt ridden paladin fighting off a demon horde he helped to conjure...

    Characters who don't kill.

    It'll be interesting to see how this works out, but I'm of the opinion that it will really be difficult to play consistently. Vash and the Kenshin are often thrust into situations in which they escape without harming others.. their motives, as far as I can recall, dont involve much in terms of...

    What're your opinions of the new D&D Miniatures line so far?

    I'm either going to be the guy buying the boxes, or the guy buying the leftovers from all the collectors buying the boxes. Either way, mini based combat will be MUCH MUCH more aesthetically pleasing than the usual "Your minis are surrounded as 9 d10's leap from the brush!"

    Major DM Burnout...

    When I get burnout I watch a lot of movies that fit the genre I'm running, and read a few books that suit the genre well also. Focusing my attention on the backgrounds, the minor characters, how the streets wind and the sounds of the cloppity clop from the horses that pass along really do well...

    Dwarf weapons: Great axe or Maul?

    I think Salvatore addressed this kind of issue in one of the Icewind Dale books. Dwarves use a Hammer and Axe technique when fighting most tall creatures- the axe is ideal for attacking the tendons at the back of the leg / knee / foot, while the hammer or maul is used to break the kneecap /...

    Chicken Familiar?!

    Surprise him by giving the chicken an attack iteration of peck, wing, wing, claw, claw- with a rend upon both claws landing. I personally would just give +2 to a skill that seems chickenish.. like hide (ok, it is cowardly more than what a chicken would do).

    Opinions on a DM-players conflict last night...

    Have each member of the group give their character sheets (or photocopies of them) to the DM, and ask him to run an encounter in his own time against said beastie with the spells / items you had available. See what he finds. Very often DMs can get so wrapped up in listed CR that they won't...

    [PrC] The Deadeye

    Bab of a fighter, sneak attack damage (ranged even) that progresses like a rogue's, 8 special class abilities, and good will / reflex saves, and a d8 hit die. Over powered. I cannot see any reason, beyond feats that I'd already want to take if i were going archer, to not take this class.

    Better Gming - through negative reinforcement!

    As a player, I have no qualms with asking a dm to describe the damage... either so I have some way of understanding how my character would react, or so I can roleplay the results of the damage more appropriately. If I take a significant amount of damage, or more importantly "wierd" damage (like...

    Which race should rule the world?

    Wights possibly. Well.. that *sounds* a little worse than I thought, but it's worthy of consideration. Wights are equal or better than humans in every way save their complete lack of a constitution score- which could mean "better" in most realms of conquest. Wights are intelligent enough to...
