    LOTR logic question

    Decent trolls are fun... Anyways, the main reason it would not have worked is that whoever went to drop the ring in the Fires of Mt. Doom would have failed because the ring would have 'overcome' them. It happened to Frodo when he tried to destroy the ring (was that a spoiler?). It would have...

    (OT) Harry Potter corrupting young girls?

    I thought this might be urban legend but... Searches in Google still show references for "Nimbus 2000" toy broom on the amazon site. It does seem to be missing from both the amazon and toysrus sites at this time. later, Ysgarran.

    Die Rolls or Point-Buy

    I use 4d6 (drop the lowest) for the six stats. They can be arranged in any order. After that, if the point buy is lower than 32, I let the characters 'buy up' to 32 points. I like this because it gives the players the chance to roll a truly outstanding character but the chances are fairly low...

    Should D&D be more American?

    I thought all bad guys spoke in a clipped upper-class English accent, just like Grand Moff Tarkin... Ysgarran.

    [OT] I've got my movie tickets...how about you?

    http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32504 I picked up four tickets for a 2:55 show at the Quality 16 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I never could get the showcase online ordering to work correctly, even when it did say shows were available. Ysgarran.

    [OT] LotR - The Two Towers.

    Yes, that is the one. I juct checked online and there are some more tickets available for different times available. Although in the last 15 minutes it appears that the 730PM show has just sold out. I checked last Friday and the Quality 16 on Jackson rd. still had tickets available but they...

    The Best of OGL?

    I don't know if a such a thing is possible but I was thinking about some of the changes that WotC might implement in the revised 3rd edition. That got me thinking about some of the high quality OGL content that has been printed. Things like the Holy Warrior class from "The Book of the...

    Playing a Ranger

    Nice post Zaruthustran but I think this paragraph points out one of the difficulties in creating a ranger. It is really hard to put enough points into intelligence to really take advantage of all of the skills that rangers have available especially when you take into account that you need a...

    Star Wars what if. Qui Gon doesnt die.

    Here is a very interesting bit that I missed until I watched the movie in French with English subtitles. When Anakin goes on his killing spree in the desert the scene switches back Yoda and Mace Windu. During that switch-over it is QUI GON who is yelling "Anakin! Anakin! Noooooo!". I wish...

    [OT] LotR - The Two Towers.

    I went online to buy tickets for the next Lord of the Rings movie from Showcase Cinemas (Ann Arbor). EVERY show between Dec 18 and Dec 24 was sold out! I was floored. Now there are a couple of mitagating factors: 1. They only sell 50% of the tickets available. 2. At this point in time...

    [WOTC] Revised Corebooks for July confirmed with info

    I wonder if these will be 'new' feats added or feats moved in from the supplements? Think any of the original writers will help out? Most of them are no longer at WotC, correct? Guess we will just have to be patient and see... later, Ysgarran.

    Help with Looking up/Confirming a ruling.

    Thanks for the references. Much appreciated. I'm surprised something hasn't made it into the FAQ regarding this...perhaps it is in the erratta for the DMG? I'll have to take a look. Ysgarran.

    Help with Looking up/Confirming a ruling.

    Under all the Magic Items there is an associated 'Caster Level' with that magic item. For example, the 'Bead of Force' has: Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, wall of force; Market Price: 2,000 gp I remember that 'Caster Level' is only a guide and not hard lower bound...

    Captain Kidd.

    This isn't really applicable to many campaigns but I thought this might be the source of some plot ideas: http://www.geocities.com/tokyo/garden/5213/engl1695.htm Summary: Captain Kidd had a letter of reprisal against French Merchant ships. Captain Kidd was condemned and found guilty of...

    d20 Modern and Spycraft

    I want to run a campaign loosely based on the "Dark Angel" series. It is very similiar to the setting described in this months Polyhedron; the GeneTech setting. Which d20 system would be better suited? Paging through the d20 Modern it seemed to have a lot of extra material that I just don't...

    Move Silently Question

    That is the way that we play it. You can take a double move at half-your speed to move silently. Ysgarran.

    How high can you go before getting +1 BAB?

    I don't have everything in front of me at the moment but I used all of the spatbooks by WotC (Defenders of the Faith, Masters of the Wild, Sond and Silence, Tome and Blood and Sword and Fist) and the FR campaign books. When I have everything in front of me tomorrow I'll break down where the...

    How high can you go before getting +1 BAB?

    I wanted to make this guy a worshipper of Cyric but the domains didn't quit work out. Cyric being the god of Madness it seemed that would have been appropriate. The character also really needed the "hide" as class skill (which is the trickery domain ability ) at the earlier levels to ensure...

    How high can you go before getting +1 BAB?

    Too much time on my hands...I almost got to Level 20 with a +0 Bab but I messed up at the final level and added a second level of "Master of Shrouds". Incredible will save though... Mad As A Hatter:M Human Rogue 1 Bard 1 Druid 1 Sorcerer 1 Wizard 1 Cleric 1 Dragon Disciple1 Harper...
