    When does GenconUK take place? Any website with info? I might take a trip in the UK to go there...

    And that's not what you call saving the world??:D

    What languages do you speak?

    Brussels, Belgium French and Dutch are both spoken in Brussels, but I am a french-speaker. French - mother tongue English and Italian - I just finished studies as a translator from these languages into French, so I suppose very good! Dutch - Average knowledge (6 years in high school) Spanish -...

    To balance high level mages.

    I'm quite of a wizard player too, but I suppose we never play the way wizards that way. I've never seen a wizard act to the point described here, and we play to high level (but only when I DM :( , which means I haven't had the chance to play a high-level wizard yet), but I've never had a player...

    To balance high level mages.

    Just a quick question: has any of you ever seen in the campaign you've played a wizard like the one you describe here, or a fighter like the one needed to fight against the wizard you describe here? I always thought the campaigns I DMed were too focused on adventuring and becoming more powerful...

    Anyone order the Epic Level Book from Amazon?

    Remember that the street date was the 12th of July... If they don't have it in two or three days, I'll cancel too and try to find it elsewhere...

    Craft Calculator?

    Is there a tool that would enable me to calculate the DC, cost and time to craft an item? I found on the electronic aids page a link to a website that help create weapons, but as I don't want to create a weapon, that's a bit useless... Another link should lead to a craft skill calculator, but...

    Two-bladed sword damage modifier

    I'm creating a human fighter who fights with a two-bladed sword. As the weapon is large, he has to use it two-handed. Does it mean he can add 1.5*his strength modifier to damage when he strikes with each of the two ends of the sword? Thanks

    When Encounter Levels go wrong...

    A good way I found to piss a group of high-level PC is to put them against a real nasty opponent and several kobolds. When they focus on the major opponent, the kobolds use the two alchemist's fire they have each, setting the PC's clothes on fire...

    WotC's other new setting

    If I remember correctly one of the Dungeoncraft articles I've read (I couldn't read every one since Dragon is quite difficult to find here in Belgium), Ray Wininger said he would use something he mentionned (but I can't remember what :( ) in the new setting he had planned to create, but he...

    Training

    I wouldn't allow my players to be trained this way. What's the point of playing if you can just say that you spend 20 years just training and that you are now level x? However, this rule would be a good way to train troops or NPC as was implied in the original post... The true problem with...

    [FR] Larloch?

    Anyone know where I can find info about Larloch or his (its?) crypt in 2e Ed.? Thanks PS: I've already looked in 3e Lords of Darkness

    Training

    I wouldn't use a skill, but maybe a CHA check for the teacher (to see how well he is able to explain what needs to be explained) and an INT check for the student (to see how well he understands what's being said). Teacher: DC ?. For every point he succeeds, he teaches 1 more XP per week. For...

    Don't Luck bonus also stack?

    Training

    What about 20 XP per week per level separating the trainer and the person who's training? This way, a 6th level soldier would bring a new soldier from level 1 to level 2 in 10 weeks. But it would also mean that when the new soldier is 5th level, he will only gain experience very slowly, as it...

    HP problem?

    What would you do with monsters? A barbarian going from level 10 to level 11 would only gain 5 hp, but a dragon gaining his 11th HD would gain 1d12+con hp... It would REALLY unbalance high-level play against monsters...

    Could we get a neverwinter nights board?

    I found it a bit sad that 21 of the 30 threads on the first page of the D&D Software forums are about NWN. I would have preferred to have a computer games forum and a software to use with D&D forum instead of the two mixed together...

    Feat: Soul of Battle

    I'd say it's a bit too powerful. Weapon focus only gives +1 attack bonus for ONE weapon. A feat with higher prerequisites could give +1 to attack AND damage without any poroblem for me, but I think this bonus when using ANY weapon is a bit too much... Anyway, could idea to make Cha less of a...
