I've noticed the Scrying rules have changed. How's that working out for people? It looks like an improvement. Far less chance for PCs to scry the BBEG if he gets a Will save!

I still play 3.0 but was considering updating. From what I can see, there's a lot of good changes and the game is now even more streamlined. However, I'd like to know if there were any changes that people think just should NOT have been made. Thanks.

I only own the 3.0 corebooks but I like the stuff from the 3.5 MM that has ECLs for monsters and an easy Skill Point progression system for monsters. Anyway, one of my players is considering playing a Yuan-ti (probably a Pureblood), and I was after such stuff as: ECL Level Adjustment Skill...

How long did it take your PCs in *real* time to complete the "Sunless Citadel" adventure path? (By *real* time I mean actual time *outside* the game. Real time includes running a session once a week in the real world or having to not play for a whole month because work at the office is very...

How long did it take your PCs in *game* time to complete the "Sunless Citadel" adventure path? (By *game* time I mean actual time *in* the game. Game time includes any time your PCs spent relaxing, training or just daudling between adventures.) The Sunless Citadel (1st to 3rd level) The Forge...

Yeah, it's funny, in the olde days, these elves were described as being the *fairest* of the lot. Now every source makes wild elves very tanned or dark skinned. I'm cool with that, though . . . ;)

Just wondering if you can manifest a power and decide to augment it *later* if you have to . . . or, do you have to decide whether to augment when you manifest the original power. I'm just thinking in such situations where perhaps the duration of a power can be extended through augmentation.

I'm sick of not having a *true* mental picture of what the elven subraces look like when compared to each other. You see, I like the picture of the Greyhawk human "subraces" in the LGG. This picture helped me visualise the human subraces when, previously, I was just going by some vague written...

Very true. If you run a *typical* D&D game the mounted warrior is useless. I mean, I had a Cavalier in the olde 1e and I never used him on his horse!!!!!!! Me 'orse just got used for travelling from one dungeon to the next. Then I dismounted and went in on foot to kill the baddies! I'm not...

But is the format *really* better? Now the game designers are arbitrarily *forced* to conform to a certain space requirement. They either have to: a) chop pertinent bits out; or b) and extra fluff to make up the space quota. A monster a page is a lot of space to fill . . . unless, of course...

Theory 2 Girl gamers start playing at around age 19+ It is very rare to find a girl gamer who has started younger. Why is this so? Well, girls are probably encouraged to pursue other things in their childhood/adolenscence. However, when they have grown up and love Buffy and Startrek or...

I think one of the major problems that a DM has such difficulty in adjudicating a situation where his player has a differing view of alignment is becaues WotC authors don't even agree@!!!!! In fact, the *same* author can, ofttimes, not be consistant. Look at you Draconomican as an example...

Me thinks I have to check out Arcana Unearthed one of these days. It seems to get nothing but praise. Is Arcana Evolved replacing AU? In other words, AE is not just a supplement to AU but an actual *revision* with all material reprinted? Naw. The Sorcerer in the BoEM just have a different...

Actually, you make an interesting point. In my experience, all the girl gamers that I know started gaming no younger than about 20-years of age. I wonder if this a trend in the RPG community?

Back in the old days a player would have many PCs under his wing. I think that's because the game was more combat-oriented (like a wargame) and not so much focused on roleplaying and character development.

Are you saying that each cleric of a different deity would just have a different selection of PHB divine spells? Or, are you saying like what I'm saying: They will literally have uniquely flavoured spells . . . no double ups. Your cleric of Pelor has "Lance of the Sun" while your cleric of...

Ya, I know you can take what I'm saying to the max. You could have unique spells for each class, ie. the druid and cleric would have completely different flavoured spells, but I do understand D&D is a game, too, and can't be made too complicated. I guess the point of my gripe is that, in my...

Clerics have a unique spell list. This gives them *flavour*. Psions (and the other psi-users) have a unique powers list. This gives them *flavour*. Anyway, I know that Wizards and Sorcerers are both *arcane* casters, but I was thinking the other day that it might be cool to give Sorcerers a...

I have a theory that RPG gamers who love the game to death started at an early age. Early age I define as anywhere from 9 to 21. My theory also says that if you started gaming *after* this age, it is far less likely that you will treat gaming as an integral part of your life. In other words...

Could Kalamar fit easily into the Great Wheel cosmology? Is the Kalamar pantheon finite or infinite? Please give me a brief description of the Kalamar cosmology. Is there demonlords and archdevils on Kalamar?
