It would depend on the character. In a world where people KNOW that the gods exist (i.e. clerics with divine magic), and you have a patron diety, I would think that unless you have some unfinished business you would just want to go be with your god. I mean, if my 10th level character bit the...

This thread has spun in a completely different direction! But to pick up on this point, B&M stores need to help themselves. There use to be no less than four shops within a 15 mile radius of me, only about a half hour drive in any direction. I have stopped shopping in them long ago. Here are...

I'm no Satanist, though Satan has appeared as an NPC in no less than TWO campaigns. The first time was a 2nd edition game where the party went through a portal and ended up on modern earth. Since Earth had no magic, the only way they could get back was to somehow find a portal to the one plane...

Looking at it from a "slap something together to muck around with" angle, you're right. I tend to look at things from a long term creating a campaign and/or fictional universe for general consumption angle. (nor am I implying that one angle is "better" than another...I'm simply explaining a...

I love the Oathbound setting. There is a lot of interesting ideas there. I'm currently running a World of Warcraft d20 game, as it was the only way to pull some of my players away from the computer! (I even have large print outs of a yellow exclamation point, a yellow question mark, and a...

I only allow prestige classes when they make sense for the character, not because someone suddenly decides they just got the latest edition of Dragon and it has this cool prestige class in it with some special power they want at 3rd level. If someone wants a prestige class, they have to clear...

I can think of plenty of reasons: The diety is a minor diety and needs to cultivate as many clerics as possible (like the headhunters who steal managers from established companies with big bonuses and promises to go with other companies) The diety doesn't see the person as being...

This is an example of how the rules don't always make sense. In the terms of how the game is played, you are considered armed. In reality, since the weapon is already "drawn" and in one hand already, the time it would take to "arm" the weapon in two hands is so minimal as to be...

I can give you an actual example from an upcoming product: Harbinger Sword of the Pigeon This +1 longsword has a pigeon shaped hilt. As a standard action, the wielder can chose to make a touch attack instead of a normal attack against the opponent. The attack does no damage, but splatters...

An evil god would most likely treat a fallen cleric in the same manner as a blackguard who was once a pally. They would keep all of their existing levels but just switch their domains and spell lists. They would lose the domains granted by their former god, but gain the domains of the new god...

True, but you do need the technology to create an engine before you can have the car to begin with. The fact is there needs to be some basic understanding of WHY the magic only works in this particular area first before moving forward with the rest of the idea. That has not been explained yet.

If magic doesn't work anywhere, then how did anyone make a structure to tap into otherworldly magical energies to begin with? The premise falls apart at square one. Now assuming that magic existed all over your planet at some point, then the real question is "Where did it go, and why is it...

I tend to run campaigns with epic storylines, and they will run a year or so at a time. The shortest campaign I ever ran was a RIFTs game. It lasted four months, then I just couldn't take it any more. I'd look up something in a book and it would say "This power works exactly like...

Why is that such a surprise. That seems reasonable to me, unless your setting has pseudodragons as common as cats and dogs. Then I could see your point. Remember, your character does not have access to the MM or any other official WoTC book. I remember a friend of mine coming down from...

To celebrate the Halloween Season, Bards and Sages is sponsoring a costume contest at Enworld. To enter, just post your zaniest, funniest, scariest, coolest Halloween costume photos on the Bards and Sages hosted forum at Enworld. On October 23rd, Bards and Sages will post a poll and allow the...

OK, yet more treats for all of our ghosts, ghouls, and goblins here at ENWorld! Now we are going to have a costume contest, and the winner gets a $10 Amazon gift certificate! And all entrants will receive a coupon code for 50% off any Bards and Sages item at the ENworld store. How to enter...

One, I would say it is in a store's best interest to NOT ever tell a customer what they really pay for an item. Suddenly people start saying things like, "Well, if you get it for X, then you can sell it to me for Y". And as I've already stated, Y never takes into account actual overhead...

Whiz, Check your e-mail. I sent you a draft copy of our upcoming "The Keep of Lord Mmorpgus", a collection of oddly named magical weapons, armor, and items inspired by the odd naming conventions of certain MMORPGs. It might inspire you a bit. ;)

I wasn't trying to insult you. I was responding to your implication that Wizards must be screwing over authors based solely on the amount of percentage mark-ups involved in the sale of a product. The reality is, regardless of where you buy your product, the author gets the exact same royalty...

I didn't specify how good of a proof reader they were paying! :lol:
