I could have sworn that there was a belt that boosted all physical statistics, and a belt that boosted all mental ones. I found the miniHB +uber one, but wasn't there one that was +str/dex/con? Help a poor confused man :)

Items are worth what you could get at the merchant, which means 50% for magic, mundane, and 100% for cash equivalents. If you want to buy it for 50%, cool. Otherwise there's a guy next door who will.

I've found that AoW is slightly more flexible than Shackled City. That gives me, as GM, more power. I also like the start _much_ more. "Let's show up those adventurers!" is a great plot hook :)

Actually, if I remember right, the 3.0 Trog is just written badly. Doesn't it say something like "becomes nauseous, taking a penalty to strength"? I know we read that as "nauseated", but it isn't -- it's "nauseous", flavor text, taking a "penalty to strength". They just cleared it up in 3.5...

Mmm boolean logic! So what we have is: a AND b. This is true if a is true and b is true, and false in the three other possible cases (a false b true, a false b false, a true b false). To invert it, that is NOT(a AND b), we want a function that is _false_ if a=true and b=true, and true in all...

I've seen "banking" feats as a common house rule. Typically when it's something you'd qualify for at (level+1). In fact... my first ever 3e game, I was playing a rogue/wizard multiclass. First level I wanted to take Weapon Finesse, but couldn't (BAB +0). So the GM let me hold onto the feat...

I prefer #6, with #4 as secondary. The crosshatching makes it immediately apparent what space is "dead". The drop shadow effectively makes walls darker and easier to notice; you might be able to get a similar effect with a wider line. Maps in Dungeon are definitely pretty, but that often comes...

Half-ogre, actually. So no comment on the twink, but no to the enlarged :) Thanks for the Reaper links... I'll bounce 'em to the player to check out.

It's well worth a watch. I need to see it again (and again...) to try and find all the small jokes they put in. The reviews of Zorro say its horrid. I find that disappointing as someone who _really_ liked Mask (Anthony Hopkins, mmm). Any truth? And is there _really_ an annoying kid sidekick?

Since my wife would prefer me to not go prematurely bald, I'm looking for advice :) I'm looking for a miniature to model a size Large, spear wielding, platemail clad, human fighter. Most of my minis are Reaper Dark Heaven, so 25mm Heroic is the scale. I've looked through the minis available at...

Well, see, you don't need to worry about SR for healing spells. 'cause, you see, healing spells are Conjuration (Healing), and Conjuration magics don't worry about SR... so... Why are you looking at me like that? :uhoh: The answer is "yes". And since it takes a _standard action_ to lower SR...

The Other Game Company has monster cards that include summoned monsters: http://www.theothergamecompany.com/projects/monstercards.htm Doesn't include modifications to the monsters (Augment Summoning, oh my!) but very useful.

Sorcerer. My wife's first 3e character was a sorcerer, and she loved it. First character ever was a spontaneous-casting cleric. There's a pattern here... So I'd say sorcerer, and find a way to get her (treasure/buying/whatever) some wands of blaster spells if she doesn't take them as her spells...

You got the right answer right here. Not "we should role-play it through", but: Whatever is the most fun for the players. If the players like to role-play things through, then let them. As a side note, I'd expect players to have characters with social skills and Charisma equivalent to the way...

Computers. Seriously. Computers are to blame for the "more wargame-y" feel of modern gaming systems. In particular, computer games. Take Pool of Radiance (the old gold-box). Where previously you might have had a GM describe a horde of orcs attacking you, you now saw every one and could place...

I'm on the side of letting it work. What if a character is fighting illusory (figments, can that even happen?) monsters and drops one? If it was real, they'd get a cleave; since it's not, they don't? But it dropped the same way... Wooden bars: object, no Cleave. Animate the wooden bars...

I'm a Krylon person, haven't had many problems. Has something changed in either the way you're applying the primer or the environment? Temperature, humidity... both can make a huge difference in adhesion. I'm started doing all my priming in the basement for that reason.

Semi-quoteth the source: "<blah blah saving throw>. A defender who fails this saving throw is dazed for 1 round. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incoporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be dazed." While you can take the second sentence to mean exactly that, that if...

I had a character playing a hexblade. Unfortunately, he had to drop out :( Great flavor. The character was a gambler with a bit of "The Touch". He used to bet on dog fights... always managed to win. It was great to play with the character, since he was always sensing things a bit strange... and...

More complex, but what if you "telescoped" by +19 and -21? Also, stopping if the order ever reversed. So, person rolls a 19... end result: 19. Person rolls a 20, then a 1: end result is 20. Person rolls a 1, then a 20: end result is 0. Basically, shift the die rolling to starting at 0. The...
