    Three natural 1's in a row.........

    I remember some guy lining up all his dice in his garage as spectators as he pounded a D20 with a sledge hammer and yelled, "Who else?" or something along those lines... I heard his dice rolled well for the next few sessions...

    New DM needs help

    The game is about the group having fun. If they like a hak n' slash game, throw a lot of mediocre monsters for them to kill and level up. If they like RP, play it light and have more story. The former is much less work, but the latter is much more fun for the DM...

    TWF At Range?

    I don't see why not... I had a fighter who had TWF and threw darts. And as a sidenote- joke- I asked a similar questions on the boards a while back: Would you be able to activate two wands with TWF? and the answer was : If, by activating, you mean use it, then yes. You can beat someone over...

    Local Games Stores Are Dead!

    I would really doubt it. As long as there are people who enjoy in keeping a hard copy, there will always be a need. Besides, there are poeple like me who have bad eyesight, and can't stare at a monitor for more than 15 minutes at a time, even though I often do. That way, i would rather have a...

    Support Your Local Game Store?

    Well, I used to buy a lot from the store- almost exclusively... unless he does not, and will not carry it. But since that store closed down, I found the wonders of online shopping. Then I moved and found another store. Nowhere near as friendly as the old one. In fact- I am only picking up...

    Strangest Rule Lawyering

    That is a dirty DM. At our gaming table, one of the most fun moments is to see the dwarf charge into melee, and the rest of us scream CLEEEAAVVVVEEE!!! He is the only front line fighter. wee have a rog, archer, wiz, clr, monk (which does the fun innefctive stuff) So by being so picky, he is...

    PC's Killing PC's

    I'd just let it happen. Let him roll up a new char, or ressurect this one, with the smae lvl down rule. Why should he get a brand spankin new PC just because he was the idiot who died- for whatever reason. After a couple levels, he'll learn ;) Edit: sorry- this is what he should learn: to...

    Should commoners (and everyone else) be a bit more durable?

    Two teenagers are playing in the backyard. One guy hits the other accidentally with a stick across the head and he falls down bleeding. Assuming both are lvl 1 commoners. What is the chance he will live (without aid). Now the first kid is nonproficient with a club, and deals subdual damage...

    Mage Killer

    I would go cleric. Two good saves (plus high wis helps in will saves), and a butload of spells- especially antimagic field, see inv, and some powerful domains. Toss in a couple of templates to get immunities and even more powers...

    D&D 3.x Spell Focus 3.5: WAH! Was it that bad?

    I understand this, but who ever has the perfect spell prepared at any given moment. A clr10 only has 6/3/2/1 spells per day. The lower ones are almost useless at that level. And so he really only 3 spells +D a day to cast effectively. How is he able to gauge which enemy he will encounter that...

    D&D 3.x Spell Focus 3.5: WAH! Was it that bad?

    No- and they aren't supposed to be weaker either. They are supposed to be balanced- but specialized for flavor. Edit they are supposed to be better at what they do, but also able to do less...
