Well, at least she looks happy! Now what we need is the 'after' picture - poor Christina buried in torn envelopes and rejected letters, covered in bandages from paper cuts. :( Poor girl. 10,000 in one week huh? So probably about 15-20,000 total. Now I wonder how many were actually...

On my Franklin Ace 1500 computer, I played the DUNGEON! computer game. It was happily rocking my little 4th or 5th grade world. That summer, some old friends of my parents stopped by, with their kids who talked about this game called Dungeons & Dragons. And the kewl part was - you walk down...

For the PCs... definately only use once or twice, as a major plot hook. Give the PC a chance to notice the bad ingrediants - spellcraft check at some DC. Or - perhaps the PC is making an item, and is frequently interuppted - even has to put the item down and go adventure for a day or two...

Cursed items, made deliberately, or by accident? What if those 3,000 gold in materials and supplies the wizard bought were bogus? Someone pulled a fast one, and swaped his eye of newt with, um, eye of Newt. Added a bit of salt to his powdered diamond. This is one way cursed items are made...

Yes! Thessel-Beasties! I had this great little side trek adventure for 2e - the lair of the Thessel-Mage. Basically an insane hermit mage in a swamp, breeeding various critters and making the various Thessel monsters. He had a large stone golem that would take his pets on 'walkies' out of...

If you go first.... Haste and ready a counterspell! Stop their haste, or whatever else they have. Next round, blast away, and ready a counterspell again. Repeat until the opponent is dead. If, that is, you gain the initiative. And have the spells to counterspell. If the opponent is the...

It is really a question of the game style, I think.... Lots of straight forward combat - a high str monk is obviously needed. But if you will be doing more scouting/stealth work - dex is key. And no one has mentioned my personal favorite- the halfling monk! A 20 dex and weapon finesse goes...

A few folks, here and there A human cleric of death for a run of the Sunken Citidel A human fgt1/Wiz3 (campaign stopped before he got higher, was going to go straight wizard - conjuror spec.) Halfling rog1/Monk5 - again, campaign stopped before he got any higher I really want to bring this...

Do any of you actually play Wizards? Give the poor wizards a break folks! All Wizards and sorcerers can do is cast spells. Don't take away their one ability but making it nigh impossible for them to safely cast a spell. Its like saying that everytime a fighter attacks, they have a chance to...

The top of the heap The short answer: Where ever the Players and the DM want them to be. :) For me as a player, the top 5%. For me as DM - the top 5% I like high save the world fantasy - and the pcs starting low and working their way to greatness. And that strongly implies the top 5%...

Psions need a few minor tweaks.... They can be good. They basic problem is that at high levels, they are very powerful. And at low levels (<5) they are nigh helpless. Step one: Get minimize the displays. No ringing bells sound in a 30 foot radius of anyone who is charmed. No ectoplasmic...

In the mail this morning 12 point times roman font. Nice and easy to read. Now if they just like the ideas and presentation.... *hope*hope* It has been fun - best of luck to everyone!

I'm curious, but dubious slightly dubious. There are two things i have problems with, both related to epic level monsters First, a character would have been designed from 1st level to be able to deal with these things. Your average character, non-min-maxed, who actually survives to reach Epic...

Avoid obvious Divine Intervention/Quests... Make them tests of Ethics / Priorities. Choose A or B - and make sure you plan for the player who tries for C, or goes for A&B. If you've read Wheel of Time, think of the test the Initiates go through, 'the way back will come but once' - that is a...

Keep it simple Use props, maps, handouts - but keep the basic story and combat simple. NO grapples, no bull rushes, no damage reduction, etc. Make sure you describe the fights - the combat, the swings and misses, make it exciting, even fudging a bit to keep the excitment level up. Since...

While I agree this thread is about expire I have to comment on the magical enchanting of adamantium. Folks - Adamantiumi s *Non-Magical* I think we all agree on this. Thus, if you want to make an adamantium weapon flaming (or keen or vorpal or whatever), you still need to make it magical...

I'll take one level, if you please... I'm a big fan of taking one level of a class for flavor/extra abilities/options and then sticking with the 'main class'. Rog1/Monk or fgt1/wiz or barb1/psion or rang1/rogue. The other level can nicely complement your primary class, giving you some useful...

Deflect Arrows is one of those Monk abilities that sounds cool - but really isn't all that great. A reflex save at 20 - which as a min/maxed monk you could have a 50% chance to pull off around level 7 or so. Sooner if you have a level or rogue. But it is still only 1 arrow per round. Thus...

Traps & Trickery has such a feat... and making it a feat seems to be the best way to go. The Traps & Treickery book contains a feat - 'perfect memory' or 'instant memorize' I forget the name. Basically, you look at a doument, you can remember what it looks like, and reproduce it if need be...

I like it :) Interesting character - sounds like fun to play. I would take the barbarian level first - more skill points, more hit points. Also, it simply makes more sense for a barbarian to find religion than for a religous guy to become barbaric. Don't forget to buy literacy! For...
