    Anyone not using fiendish dire axiomatic half-celestial undead half-pixie owlbears?

    Heheh, I've often wondered what all the furor over the BoEF was about; with all the half-whoozits wandering around in an average campaign, I figure that when they aren't running from the local adventurers most NPCs and monsters have to spend the rest of their time in some awesome orgies. With...

    [ot] New Gamer

    Congrats, BG! Just be sure to have her thoroughly tested before the warranty is up.

    I've seen The Last Samurai

    I've found a lot of movies to be like that (seems like most of them are the big "blockbuster" films for some reason). AI is a case in point, switch it off as the camera pans back from the little boy trapped in the sub making wishes to the Blue Fairy, and you've got a butt kicking movie.

    Wizards... Are they shafted?

    Which can also be a very good "in" to using bonded weapons that grow with the character and become more powerful over time.

    Anyone remember Hero Quest?

    Woot! Thanks, Frank! Lost my book for my Stop Thief game sometime in one of my last couple of moves, and never thought of even looking for a Hasbro web site :)

    [Extremely Serious] Send your dungeon-dwellers a message of hope this holiday season

    Hi, I'm Gnarlo Cogbinder. I would just like to express my whole hearted endorsement for the work that HASTUR is doing. My hamlet was suffering from a major storage problem from all the projects that my brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins, and other relations had been tinkering with over the last...

    Anyone not using fiendish dire axiomatic half-celestial undead half-pixie owlbears?

    Correcting :) I have used templates myself, never more than one at a time that I can think of, and the example in my title is, of course, absurd (although I'm starting to get the desire to stat it out...). I'm just curious how people handle them in their own game, and whether they use them as...

    Anyone not using fiendish dire axiomatic half-celestial undead half-pixie owlbears?

    Ok, apparently in this thread, I was the one that misunderstood the gist of the thread and not the other repliers :) That in mind, I will start a new one instead of attempting to hijack the other. So, what do you all do to present challenges to your players? Is there anyone out there who just...

    How are you going to introduce your kids to gaming, if at all?

    I got to start borrowing my little nephew over as a visual aid. Seeing your picture, the first thing that popped into my head was :

    Is this unique?

    Eh, there are precedents; Gimli, after all, is just a little brown-nosing, suck-up, elf-lover.

    CR 10 Tornado? ::blink::

    So the people that made Twister were Killer DMs? I knew it! :)

    Yuan Ti?

    Well, firstly, I didn't see the original poster's remarks or mine as a "dumb complaint" but as observation. It was a simple question, does anyone play the game without opponents (or PCs) that don't include half the Monster Manual in their genetic makeup? Just your standard high CR monsters? Just...

    One kid, many faces!

    D'OH! :) Interesting. A lot like the hiker on the World Trade Center guy.

    Eric's Avatar

    I was thinking more like "Last known photo of Eric Noah. After choking to death his frined taking the photo, he was seen wandering off into the icy wastes of Wisconsin and disappeared." He will be responsible for sightings of "En Foot" for decades to come.

    As you got sucked in to D&D, when did you know?

    The first time I sat down with the random dungeon tables in the DMG and a party I rolled up right quick to "plan out a dungeon" for some friends and looking up a little later realized that I had been solo dungeoning for 4 hours.

    Punishing Player Creativity?

    Thanks for the link! I'm giving these a try in our next session, since one card each shouldn't get abused or out of control. I'm of the "just because it sounds cool doesn't mean auto success" camp. Come up with a cinematic idea and attempt it? Cool, bonus RP xp, but you still got to make the...

    Yuan Ti?

    No, but it can feel like it sometimes, can't it? And that your players are the only group that isn't fiendish half-celestial half-dragon minotaurs with 6 PrCs apiece.

    XP for Missing Players

    Another group of players (and DM :) ) with full time jobs, families, etc., we give full exp to all characters participating whether the player is there or not. Heck, due to schedule conflicts, someone is unable to come at least half the time; we'd all be cutting our own throats if we worried...
