    Tenser's floating Disk

    So... if I polymorphed myself into a cheetah and sat onmy floating disc I'd have the fastest damn disc the world had ever seen? Also, if I cast it, sat a member of the party on it, then polymorphed myself to a flying creature with perfect maneuvreablility, I could fly around like a maniac and...

    Tenser's floating Disk

    As I knew somebody would say, it's comparable to levitate if allowances are made toride it. Crossing expanses of water for example, are made much easier and less expensive slot-wise. As well as solving this according tothe RULES, I was also wondering how people handle this in their own games...

    Tenser's floating Disk

    Hiya all, Sorry if this has come up in the past at all, but I certainly looked and I couldn't see it being discussed previously. It's come up in our game a fewe times recently... can a Tenser's Floating Disk be ridden by it's caster? To take the words of the spell 100% literally I see no...

    Hackmaster!

    Okay, now I know a large percentage of EN's readers will be a fan of Knights of the Dinner Table, personally, I can't sing it's praises high enough, it's an amazing comic. I've had a brief flick through the Hackmaster books, as in the actual gaming handbooks for the 2nd ed spin-off they...

    Are you a DM for a party without fighers?

    Okay, first of all what are the pc's in the party? You don't have any fighters... that's not always a HUGE problem... do you have any fighter types? Rangers or Paladins for example? I ran a forgotten realms game for a party of three and I had one ranger, one cleric and one rogue. Luckily for me...

    What would you do with these stats?

    Animal handling and suchlike are on CHA though... so the only problem there chief, is that with a charisma of 3, even the most civil-tempered animal would savage him on sight, hahah! ;)

    What core 3.5 race is the weakest?

    I vote Half-Elf for worst base race... somebody move over, there's no room left on the damn bandwagon! I'm stunned however, that anyone would ever consider the full blooded elf as worst race though. +2 DEX can't be a bad thing. As far as I see it, it's the stat that modifies the most things in...

    Revitalising a game and a group.

    Hiya everyone, This is a pretty desperate request going out to everyone who reads/posts on these boards regularly. For the past year and a half I've been part of a gaming session of guys that meet every Friday morning for about 3-4 hours per session. When we started the game everything was...

    easy question, concentration checks

    The player gets pimp slapped by the other players for not casting on the defensive, or rolling a one, whichever the case may be :p Nahh, I had a quick look at the rules and I'm not 100% sure to be totally honest, but personally I would say two checks as the damage comes from two seperate sources.

    Basing PC's on a film.

    We're starting a new campaign in a few nights time, D&D 3.5, and our DM has asked us to base our characters around famous films and characters etc. He says this will give our characters a better sense of initial bonding and so forth, as we'll know the direction that each other are going, and...

    So there's no CR3 Drow then...

    Right, so I've been running my own game for about three months now, D&D 3.5, and I've been nervous as hell. First game I've even DM'd, although I've been a player for about six years now, you DM's really do get the rough end of it don't you? I find myself waking in half-fevered convulsions...

    Which is better?

    I've read this whole thread top to bottom, and it's of massive interest to me. I recently started playing a campaign as an Elven Fighter/Mage, so it could be useful in that respect, I also just started running a game with a Mage in the party, and I know he'd be interested... I gather that this...

    the Dungeon Cliche

    ...a room with a medusa and a chest containing ten "stone to flesh" scrolls... ...a room with a trap that shrinks the party as they enter, then a huge pit crossing the entire room and on the other side, a chest containing ten "enlarge person" scrolls... ...a room with poisonous snakes...

    Fireballs & Full Plate?

    I haven't really sat down to work out the numbers yet admittedly, but wouldn't it be cool flying about in full plate casting fireballs on from on high with Full Plate complimenting your already raucous mage abilities? Shield, Mirror Image, displacement etc... Well worth the 1 level down, and...

    Fireballs & Full Plate?

    According to the 3.5 rules, Wizards casting in armour suffer penalties, given as a percentage for spell failure. Also according to 3.5 rules, this rule does not apply to spells with no somatic components (apparantly it's only the complex hand movements that hampers casting). Does that mean a...

    So how do you play a Sun Elf?

    Hey Herremann, Depending on your time scale, I think possibly the most insightful thing I ever read about Elves was Elaine Cunningham's "Evermeet." Now don't get me wrong, it's quite along book, but I finished it in a few days 'cos I was hooked! It begins, well, at the beginning... the...

    Need help for spell/sword character.

    Hiya all, Okay, just started a campaign a few weeks ago, really good players, really good DM, REALLY good game all round. It's a game for the long run definitly.
