I'm putting together an adventure right now where I intend to give out a whole snot-load of cursed magic items, but I don't want them too overused or unbalancing, so I'm toying with the idea of giving out cursed items. Instead of giving out disastrous curses though, like...

Continual Wind Transmutation [Air] Level: Sor/Wiz 2, Drd 1, Wu Jen 1 Components: V, S, M Range: Close (25 ft. + 5/level) Area: Line (20 ft. x 60ft.) Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None (Harmless) Spell Resistance: No The wind created by this spell blows at about 20 mph, enough to risk...

So, browsing through the September issue of Dragon (issue 335), "First Watch," page 20, I noticed the Afternoon Adventures with Dungeons and Dragons and Mirrorstone's Adventures for Reluctant Readers program(s). I called the 1-800 number, and now. . . something. . . is en route to the library...

I voted for choice three because I found it irresistably funny. Maybe I'm just in a mood. I was just reading the thread in which Rel's remarks are taken out of context and pasted together into a libelous mash. It was funny. This was funnier: I thought that I was going to pass out from...

Onkar’s Trick Rope This 50-foot length of masterwork silk rope is interwoven with occasional gold and purple threads. By use of a command word, the rope’s bearer may cast a rope trick spell as a 10th level sorcerer, up to three times per day. Faint transmutation; CL 10th; Craft wondrous...

Now, w&s, that's not very nice. They can tell the joke was bad without you telling them. Besides, PofE liked it.

How long must a thread lie dormant before posting to it qualifies as thread necromancy? More importantly. . . In what year were you born?

Wow, it's been, like, two months now. I think I'm done smoking. I hardly ever feel the need to go outside and sit. Nic-fits are long gone. Now, I just have to shed the quitting weight, and I'll be set. Thanks again, jaerdaph, and everybody here, for inspiration and support.

Well, it used to, anyway

I'm with you on this one, Thaniel. Make up the character that you think would be cool and neato, and then let the stats and power-adjustment come out how it will. That's the best way, and I miss it too.

Monday = Moon Elves (duh! why did you even have to ask?) Tyr's Day, Odin's Day, Thor's Day, Frey's Day = Le Shay, from the Epic Level handbook. (these are a bit closer to the AD&D2E elves) Saturday. . . I honestly don't know. Maybe (twin-scimitar wielding) Drow (rangers) are the appropriate...

[off-topic]Ever walk away from a conversation and later return to find that it has morphed into something entirely different? I hate when that happens.[/off-topic]

I just wanted to drop in to congratulate everybody on their terrific spouses. I get lots of envious remarks from my players. My wife's pretty terrific, too. I DM. She hosts. And she coaches new players unfamiliar with the rules. And she picks up any plot hook I provide. She lets others...

Sorry.

That's pretty bad. "Your life sucks, and will continue to suck unless that you admit that you're stupid and give us $15." There's just no winning. I suffered from depression some years ago, and when I was finally willing to admit that I was too (weak/foolish/unmanly/*insert generic...

Players should work together during character generation (and after that, too). e.g. Party 1: Enfenial, apprentice wizard, on the run and questing to find out who killed her master and surrogate father, Aldron, Mage of the Western County. (Human Wiz1) Krandon, city watchman, elite brigade, and...

Thanks, Arkhandus. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one using this line of reasoning. The racial hit dice cripple spellcasting characters as effectively, but more fairly, than LA, and small size and penalties to both Str and Con ruin melee-munchkin worries. Skill-using moggae wouldn't be...

I always pictured halfling paladins as shire-reeves, looking out for locals and solving minor disagreements.

And it shouldn't satisfy us, either. I say let the experts decide facts in their own field of expertise. I'm perfectly happy to let planetary astronomers decide what is and is not a planet. One of my linguistics professors had to track down a teacher at one of the local high schools to get...
