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

    Thank you. I really liked the Behir as well. Almost more than the huge red and huge gold. Almost ;) I would love the Ogre Mage too but I don't have one yet :(

    How do you deal with Wizard specialists when there aren't enough spells?

    err aren't you advocating quantity over quality? More spell access=quantity? And for some not every school has something useful in it. Necromancy leaps to mind as a school some could do without easily. IME specialists really have to embrace their speciality to shine. I have seen 3...

    Customizable Skill Lists

    Forgery is actually a Rogue only class skill in the PHB. I wondered aobut it but thought to keep skills that were restricted to a single class the same in this system. I could certainly see Bards and maybe wizards getting it to though. As for the number of class skills this is, again, based...

    How do you deal with Wizard specialists when there aren't enough spells?

    I couldn't disagree more. More spell slots are hard to come by in most games. Anything that ups the spells available to a wizard is worth it in my view. I think you just have to be careful what schools you get barred from.

    Customizable Skill Lists

    Why those three? I just don't see them as being more powerful than a Craft skill or Escape Artist. I do ask for those skills to be checked upon regularly but DCs are set to a appropriate-to-the-party level. Having a few more PCs with the ability to make rolls on them doesn't seem too...

    Slowwww....

    Spoony Bard has a (small) notice that the board will be experiencing slow times for the next few days as the search table is reindexed. I was having a hard time even posting new threads last night.

    Customizable Skill Lists

    I would like opinions on this house rule regarding class skill lists. Any foreseeable problems? I am a big advocate of skill checks for almost anything (even the 'social' ones although the players still have the RP the situation) so allowing them to customize their skill lists within the...

    How do you deal with Wizard specialists when there aren't enough spells?

    That is my take on it too. It's not like the spell lists are secret or anything. You want to be a specialist Illusionist or Diviner you pay a price at high levels. Most characters by that time are either researching their own spells or buying scrolls to add to their spell book. The 2 new...

    I heard it was done due to popular demand. Or spite.

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

    Do yuo ever having anything positive to say? You are a very negative person. Underdark and Angelfire are my two favourites sets so far. So many excellent quality miniatures with amazing paint jobs. The Efreeti is probably my favourite miniature of the entire line followed closely by the Orc...

    Can you tell me how to get to Ol’-Skool street?

    You'd think so but not really. The Rules Cyclopedia has, well , more rules. Rules for all kinds of things but in a haphazard sort of fashion. I was surprised in trying to use it during the actual game as it was harder to reference than many 3E books (which don't have great referening either)...

    Just Got Hit By A Drunk Driver

    Glad to hear you and your family are moreorless undamaged. I would still have a doctor check you out and make certain. As for the drunk who hit you... Hangin's too good for him! Burnin's too good for him! He should be chopped up into little bitty pieces and buried alive!

    Design & Development: Dislikes

    What about d1? :) That's a pretty good system though. For the most part hp totals haven't been much of an issue. The reroll on a one works well enough for my purposes (and that elven fighter eventually rolled a '10').

    Design & Development: Dislikes

    The fighter in my party has his sights set on an animated shield. Personally I don't think it will be a problem as the party rarely has a lot of money so at best he is looking at a +1 Lg Shield for quite some time. I may change it to make it use a standard action to activate sort of thing and...

    Design & Development: Dislikes

    That's how I do it. The caster has to have seen the monster, in person, at least once. If you've only heard stories of it or legends then no go. Polymorth is a potent spell but one that can be handled if the players can be made to realize how boring converting PCs from one form to another is...

    Or just allow 1's to always be re-rolled. That's how I do it. The only character I saw suffer from low hp was an elven fighter with a 9 CON and habit of rolling '2'.

    AC of your 10th lvl character?

    ;) Fixed it for you. Seriously most fighters (ime) have a hard time of it without Expertise (and imc Riposte from the Scarred Lands book Player's Guide to Fighters & Barbarians. It allows an AoO if someone misses you while you are using Expertise). Power Attack is great but not being hit...
