See - now that's cool. I like that idea especially that it is something important to the advancement of the characters. I still never liked the arbitrary death traps in S1 but the concept of what you have created is very cool. I'm also pretty vocal about my dislike of save or die spells and...

Well I did drop Use Rope from my game. Wasn't a big deal since no one had ever put a rank into it anyways. Some of the suggestion here are quite ingenious in their application of Use Rope although many of them seem to me to be more about Craft(X) skills than actually using rope.

I think I just had an evilgasm. Those look amazing! I may be getting 2 cases of this set if the rest of them are this good.

So does this thread count as a blantant attack on TSR and Gary Gygax? I heard that that can get a thread closed.

BINGO! We have a winner!

Oh yes very nice. Some don't like it so they are 'whiners'? What is this a Ptolus thread?

Gave it a 5. Its a fun read but not fun to play/run. Thinking person's module my aunt fanny...

I really don't think anyone's idea of an epic storyline is a random dungeon crawl. You do not help your position with such absurd statements. I played in 6 of the DL modules and the only 'payoff' I can remember was killing the Black Dragon. Most of the rest of it was just forgettable...

Even though you don't actually draw an AoO if all you are doing is moving (up to double speed at least).

Oh boy, here we go again.

2-3 times per combat as I have a Half Orc Fighter/Monk PC with a spiked chain that likes to get enlarged (not all the time but maybe 50%). As the DM I try to set up encounters where everyone can use their abilities - including the monsters.

Dragons, Demons and Undead make, to me, the best campaign theme vilians. There is a lot of range (use anything from Kobolds to Lizardmen to humans for Dragon minions, any race can be corrupted by the touch of demons and the undead have an inherent cool factor to me that make basing a campaign...

Ah - I have seen that movie once when I was a kid. Never really grabbed me (surprisingly!) TheGM AoO can certainly make combat slower. For my game i don't mind this but others are not going to like it. I am curious as to what 1E/2E basics you are referring to though. Just curiosity (and it...

Ditto for me too. My players seem to get infuriated at the idea of a foe escaping their righteous wrath. A recent run in with some Dark Elves has the Wood Elf player absoultely hating every memeber of the species (despite the fact that the rest of the party dealt with them in trade and an...

If Fiznip is just moving past Ugluk then no problem. Just don't go around and around him (this is why I like using a hex battlemat right here - each person only has 6 adjacent hexes it is much easier to avoid hitting two of those hexes than two of the 8 squares on a square grid). Maybe...

Err my geek fu must be weak today - what is that from?

Well there is some on the spot adjudicating that you can do. However if you are just leaving combat (ie withdrawing) then you don't worry about AoO. It's when you want to do two things at once - "I'm withdrawing away from that guy....but I hit him with my sword first!" That indicates a split...

If I'm charging you unless you kill me with your AoO momentum will ensure I slam into you anyways. Your flimsy pointed stick isn't going to stop me :]

Not terribly realistic but, yes useful.

Was Al-Qudim really published under 3.0? I must have completely missed that then. Not really enthused about any of it. I don't buy into the 20th level cap of core D&D so an Epic book wouldn't be much use. Hero Builders Guide would most likely be aimed at novice players (but if it wasn't I...
