    Spell Casting times & Weapon Speeds addition to Initiatives

    I would certainly play a game with those rules but I don't feel any burning need to have them in the game nowadays. At least in the form you are talking about. I do use a form of weapon speed that alters your iterative attack (based on the weapon you choose your second attack comes at -4/-5/-6...

    I hate monks

    I've never really had a problem with the monk. My world is big enough to allow some so-called "eastern" flavour into it. I may even allow Ninja, Wu Jen and Samurai one day. Right now the Monk fits the bill for the mystic warrior role just fine although at low levels he is woefully...

    Thoughts and prayers requested....

    I think i know what this feeling is like. Whatever the thoughts and prayers of an agnostic are worth - they are yours. Keep Well.

    Scrooge + Grinch = me

    Very true. I agree completely. Forget about the 'troublemakers' and focus on those who are really going to need some help through the holidays. A co-worker of mine started her own family tradition - she, her husband and two kids check into a fancy hotel on Chritsmas Eve and open presents...

    Why do I feel that someone's pet project was rejected by WotC recently?

    Customizable Skill Lists

    I think the system as it is (d20+ bonuses) is solid but the stingyness of the RAW in giving out skill points and the restrictive nature of the class skill lists really hurts the system. I have tried a couple of methods from combining certain skills together (ie Open Locks and DIsable Device...

    Player's Handbook 2

    Since the DMG 2 was a very good book I have high hopes for this one as well. And this was announced quite some time ago.

    Vikings or Celts

    And yet everyone in this thread knew exactly what the OP was talking about when he selected 'Celts' as one of the choices...

    That Balor mini is gorgeous! What's your favourite?

    See? I'm right! More timber wolves=more happy!

    Vikings or Celts

    Vikings for me. I just love those cold dwelling barbarians. For me it all has to do with the climate. I am a big fan of cold climate campaigns (and would be sorely dissappointed if a Viking campaign took place on anything but ice floes! ;) )

    That Balor mini is gorgeous! What's your favourite?

    The Chuul is a very nice miniature. I don't have one yet but I have seen it up close and it is a good piece with a simple but effective paint job.

    That Balor mini is gorgeous! What's your favourite?

    The Timber wolf looks more like a 'wild' wolf. The old wolf from Harbinger looked liked someone's pet dog. /has 8 Timber Wolves and wants 12 more :)

    That Balor mini is gorgeous! What's your favourite?

    I can find nearly any uncommon large for less than $1. :) A '3-D' look would probably have pushed it into rare status (like the Iron Golem) with a more complicated mold and assembly. I give lots of these things to my co-workers' kids. They love 'em (and the Heroclik I got extras of too).

    Looking for a magic item to improve Will saves

    Dang, beat me to it! I just had the party find such an item (it was from the WotC free module download A Dark and Stormy Knight. It's called the Headband of th Stout Heart: +1 on Will saves. Faint Adjuration; CL 1st; Craft Wonderous Item resistance; Price 350gp). Should be pretty easy to...

    Preach it, my man! Preach it! All I know is that none of the dozen and a half people I game with play MMORPGs anymore. Several got a little too into it and were in great dnager of losing a lot of friends. Fortunately that is all behind us and we are happily killing monsters and taking their...

    That Balor mini is gorgeous! What's your favourite?

    Given your avatar that is not surprising at all... ;) The Skeletal Equiceph was the 'dark horse' of this set for me. I hadn't known about it before hand and wasn't impresses with pictures that i saw later. When I finally got one I was amazed at the sculpt quality and paint job. And...

    Do I need glasses?

    As someone in the optical industry I would say that, unless you have a very strong Rx, eye surgery is the last thing you should be looking at (haha). Wearing glasses or contacts is not the end of the world and it is far less risky than some of the horrific things I have seen eye surgeons do to...

    Customizable Skill Lists

    How about a revision to giving each class a number of class skills equal to twice thier skill points/level? Going with the +2 skill points/level house rule (which seems so common it should count as errata) it would look something like this The following skills are exclusive to these classes...

    What to due about a stubborn DM

    But even in a so-called "grim n' gritty" campaign shouldn't the player have some hope of succeeding? Also isn't it the players game too? Don't they have some say in the 'flavour' (for lack of a better word) of the campaign?
