    Would you let your player do this?

    Well, right off the bat I wouldn't allow an elven barbarian...I think that is a human class, and with the already +'s for elves, I'd feel that the player is out for stat mods. NOW HE WANTS TO RAGE...elves arn't those sort of beings...humans bare the soul to anger; it was oden who cursed men to...

    NPCs talking to NPCs - is the DM going crazy?

    Like a book: intro tha the two are talking, then, as sort of the voice of the story, or author..I explain what they talk about. Even though it would make sense for me hold a converstation withmyself..as the DM, I find it a bit silly, and would rather not. The opinions of any NPC can be explained...

    What's the worst character type to be an assassin-type? (other than paladins)

    I don't agree. An adventurer is not a killer by trade, he or she may have to kill, but it's not their numberone job title; they guard, recover, explore, and many other things where Killing may take place. Like, they get ambushed by goblins, or attacked by the local guards who have been under the...

    Ghostwalk - Who's Used it?

    Well, when I used it, it was alot of fun, but I also play by some house rules that dont make being a ghost the most powerful thing, or a real pain. Its an ok book, but you should put your own spin on it and see what happens

    What's the worst character type to be an assassin-type? (other than paladins)

    Why not Paladins...there called ZELOTS. Everytime make a good assassin, some might not do i for a job, a one time kill, but every type is an assassin. Personally, I don't think a player should play an assassin; just don't think that TYPE of person, works well with others. I know its fun, and...

    Would you play a class with no special abilities?

    YES. Sometimes I think that if everyone has spell like abilities, or supernat abilities, or w/e then magic becomes almost generic....I think skills are alot of fun, and it makes that when you come across something that is strange, and magical, its that much more interesting.

    How necessary is Gargantuan/Colossal sizing?

    Don't like it, but I don't use all the new books. I think some of them are really bad. I think you need the different sizes to show variety in the game's scope.

    Looking for advice on the size of a city

    Do some research about how people live in the Desert, and you will find that it doesn't take alot, you just live but alot harsher means then what most people would be willing to live by. Also, if its simply a "truck stop" then it doesn't matter. Alot of the small villages and tent-towns built...

    Where's my HR manager? or "How Leadership nerfs Power Attack"

    Start trying to upgrade your men...train them, turn them from fighters into prestige classes, give them the best equipment...and try and find prestige classed heros, or people in the area who can join or become apart of your army,guard: weapons masters, and so on. Make sure to UP PLAY the NPC's...

    Ever had a player in your group throw a tantrum or worse? Most uncomfortable moment?

    Yes, I've had thrown dice, and lots of cussing. I've had character sheets thrown at me after I told the player "you might not want to do that" my fave though was I had a player who always tried to play the "I'm smarter than all of of your NPC's" and then after he tried to screw over one to many...

    Do settings get "played out"?

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS....start making your own stuff, its just what happens with fantasy. Also, if you've played in the F.R try playing a much toned down game, where magic and healing is less...more exotic, dangerous, and mysterious...try that style and see if it fits. If not, go to the...

    I've got a problem in my game! Help!

    Ok, I agree; this isn't about the game, is about you said "dont" and he did it anyway. Now, if you want him to game, and you want to get back at him alittle, since you don't trust him...change your story around. Just do thing's that he didn't read about... If you don't want him to game, say...

    Are you playing D&D if there are no dice?

    Its D&D, its just the better form. Dice, make the game interactive...without it, your might as well play a video game which has all the random % built into it.

    A party without a healer

    No, it should be that you heal your number of class levels, or HD per day..so a 13th barbarian would heal 13 HP a day untill his HP was filled, and then his Con, if he were so wounded that it went there, would heal after the rest of his body was up to par. And that's without aid, or a pro-healer...

    A party without a healer

    I agree. Playing with a healer, or a rouge in the party everytime because you know that it's a dungeon crawl style play, gets boreing. The game should be "come as you are, and get through if you can?" And if its a story based game, like this person said, wounds a apart of it, if you dont want to...

    What I Learnt From Last Night's Session

    I mean, their horses....what can you do; sorry your players think better than those in the movies who simply neve shoot out the tire, or clip the mount in the knee. On the other hand, you dont want a stream of dead horses in your game. SO, why not make it harder to them, isn't there an extra...

    Undead: is the person's soul trapped?

    Well, for a cleric or any other holy person, Id say that they'd think it was trapped, which by would make it more important to them. And depending on the game, wizards might think the same thing. Either way, where ever the soul is going, its not getting there untill the undead is laid to rest...

    Do your PCs spend money on non adventureing things?

    Yes. You can't just buy all the toys, you're playing a person, so he or she needs to eat, sleep, wash, and so on. I don't know why you wouldn't. And yes, for those who save their money just for gaming reasons: a new sword, magic obejects and the like, are, well, not playing realisticly.

    Casting Animate Object on a Dead Warforged

    Well, I think that clerics should be taken back by warforged: really living golem types. So, he might not in that case, on the other hand, if its setup that clerics dont mind them, then its a no. They are living things in that case, there for they are not just obejects. If however they are...

    Industry Advice for buying a hobby game store

    Well, best of luck. Now, for a bit of the advice: in my area there have been three gaming/comic stores and I'm sorry to say that they've all gone under, the gaming stores sooner than the comic store. Fist: I would advise no instore computer games: linked for multi play or othewise. Reason...
