In the few occassions where I've done this, it was when the party was fairly powerful and facing waves of mooks. There was no real time to rest or re-buff between waves (they got a round at most). In my experience, players tend to go all out in every battle, with the unfortunate side-effect of...

I played in a game once where I didn't even bother giving my horses names, just numbers. I think I got up to "12" by the end of the campaign.

No worse than my current pet project: Star Wars races and the Force with D&D classes and technology. Or the Ravenloft domain ruled by Lord Vader....

Now that I think about it, there was actually less combat in those old 2nd edition games than there is in the 3rd edition ones. Of course, back then I only played in homebrews and almost never saw the inside of a dungeon.

It's happened before, usually because some misfit doesn't know how to be a team player and cheeses off one or more PCs to the point where violence erupts. Most of the time it ends before anyone actually dies, and in fact the only time I can remember it ending with anyone dying (the offending PC...

I voted "Other" and that Other would be classes. Sacred cow goes "moo!" :)

My pet homebrew is a collaboration between fellow ENWorlder Vrylakos and myself, and can be found here. It is by no means complete, and the HTML on some of the pages is less than professional, but it's fairly comprehensive (and comprehensible).

That's what I call taking 20 on a Perform check! Fail, fail, fail, success, crit-fail.....

Agreed that it is more interesting, but less common? I don't think I've ever seen an illustration or miniature of a minotaur that didn't have hooves. Seems to be the norm, actually.

We had a guy like this in my first D&D group (early college days). He was just doing it to make people laugh and get attention. After a while, we stopped paying attention to his antics and he stopped doing them.

Multiclassing is often its own penalty. Some classes are complimentary, while others are not. No fighter/wizard is going to be as good at fighting as the single-classed fighter, or as good at magic as the single-classed wizard. That's why we're seeing a lot of new core classes like the...

Technically both A and B, at least when there was a cleric in the party.

The only time I've ever heard the term 'gish' used is in threads like these where people proclaim their hate for the term. Never heard it used in play.

I know if it were me, I would always associate the game with him, so I would have to retire it even if everyone else was okay with continuing. Sounds like your GF isn't okay with continuing, so I would say the decision is made for you.

Because if the rule wasn't there, wizards would put their highest stats in Con or Dex just to increase survivability. Wizards get the short end of the stick (staff?) in that department several times over.

I like this idea! Consider it yoinked for my next campaign! :D

I read somewhere (Keith Baker FAQ on the WotC boards, perhaps) that each moon has a corresponding plane. So IMC, the thirteenth moon was tied to the plane of Dal Quor, and when it reappeared, it did so because the quori had finally succeeded in returning Dal Quor to its regular orbit. This...

I've only played in one group where such things were considered weird or uncomfortable. The rest of them were played out, no problems. We never had any R-rated scenes or anything like that; if/when it came time for two characters to get intimate, we had a fade-to-black or the "camera pans up...

I was planning on doing this for my next campaign. I was also planning on throwing out XP penalties for multiclassing. As far as "niche protection" goes, I honestly don't think it's an issue. Rogues and bards still have a lot more skill points than other classes, and if you're playing a...
