    Advice for my wife's first adventure?

    Personally, I think you should start her now so that she can jump right into gaming once you get back without having the entire group sit around while you explain the rules to her. I would do one of the published adventures. Seeing as how you aren't good at writing adventures, I would just use...

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

    I asked the very same question yesterday. Here it is. From what I gather, it is more the fear of a min/maxer taking advantage of the feats and also PrCs. But hey, that's what a DM is for. These boards give a decent heads up. A DM could just ban thse PrCs or house rule it out. My big...

    Why did they lower spell DCs? (3.5)

    As I was reading through the feat section of PHB, I noticed that Spell focus and GrSF only gives a +1 per feat to spell DC. It didn't bother me much since I was gaing for Heirophant (FRCS) and that PrC has a class ability (Spell power +2) which increases your spell DC by 2, and increases your...

    Ranger using Shield

    If he is going to use a light shield anyways, he should just buy a buckler. It gives the same bonus, and looks a helluva lot better on a ranger than dropping your bow and pulling out the sword and shield. Besides, what archer is willing to drop his magical bow? the Rogue in my group would...

    Attacking a Hydra's Heads

    In 3.5, the Hydra (laerna was taken out cause all can regenerate heads now) has fast healing relative to the number of heads it had. So now it is better to take out the heads before going for the body. Unless you have some way of taking out the body faster than it can heal...

    D&D 3.x [3.0] Jump v/s [3.5] Jump

    It's actually like 29 feet, something. And so it is DC30. Which makes it as hard to break as a magical trap for a highly trained rogue. I think it is very nice how they broke the distances up and gave you a "if you fail the jump, you are still able to catch the ledge on the other side with a...

    [OT] It's only a dolphin

    It's just a dolphin-the clowns of the sea.... But that is until King Snorky united them in a bloodthirsty coupe of the human race. And forced us back to the sea.... You gotta hand to them, they just wanted it more....

    3.5 makes Savage Species useless!!!

    If you think that SS is useless, then the same goes for ELH and MotP. Both of which got extensive sections in the DMG 3.5

    Monster Manual 3.5. Art Gallery

    Actually, if you look carefully, it is 1) the iconics 2) the balor standing over the iconics- dead 3) the fight I thought it was quite amusing. I asked if the store was getting the pics in as posters. They had no idea what I was talking about. It appears they fired the guy in charge of their...

    HELP! Rogue/Ranger Tiefling too powerful?!

    What I would do is to give the opther players the chance to increase their abilities. Say magical weapons, or magic enhancers (like a new spellbook). That way, the Tiefling keeps his char- untouched, and the others areback in the party contributing again. You can now go back to DMing because...

    How unbalancing would this be?

    I second the motion of "fun". The only thing I can see is that you did this with lvl 1-3 char. With some char only having 10 hop, giving a goblin and EXTRA 20 hp is like a death sentence. give them a couple more levels and it shouldn't be a problem. As for guns, I introduced them into my...

    nifty I am a A Time Dragon! Hey, I took the http://dragonhame.com online Inner Dragon quiz and found out I am a Time Dragon on the inside. In the war between good and evil, a Time Dragon tends to walk the fine line of Neutrality.... When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and...

    HELP! Rogue/Ranger Tiefling too powerful?!

    I don't know about the batwing feat, but he may just be using the Tiefling template from Monster of Faerun. It says that a Tiefling has a 75% chance of having batwings. If he did choose this route, then you can tell him that you don't like it and therefore nix it. Plus, he is only supposed to...

    Are you a killer DM?

    But of course it would be an unfair poll cause my DM is a nice guy. i just happen to play the most peabrained barb you know. One time, my lvl 2 barb opened a door to find an ogre. He rushed in and was killed with one blow. Another time, the rogue set off a magical trap and instead of...

    Would you buy this?

    I was just wondering if anyone is interested in a book that maps out certain character concepts by level (which classes to take at which level). I know that there are freebees out there that gives a couple concepts mapped out- but I was wondering if there would be a market for it. I am not...
