    Overpowered characters - how to deal with them?

    Absolutely. Since your campaign seems to be nearing its end, your solution is obvious: Announce that the campaign will be over in a couple of sessions and you'd like to take a turn at playing for a change or start over fresh with a new campaign. This will not only eliminate Poverty Dude but...

    Mercantile Houses in Eberron?

    So, for example, then I have to be a member of House Tharashk in order to be made a member of House Tharashk by the feat? Still doesn't make sense to me. If I'm already a member of House Tharashk, the benefit of becoming a member of that house is pointless. The other benefits, however, are...

    Mercantile Houses in Eberron?

    Here's a question for you Eberron experts out there: The Favored In House feat prerequisite is to be a member of appropriate dragonmarked race and house. The feat itself makes you a member of one of the dragonmarked mercantile houses. There obviously is a difference between a dragonmarked house...

    Size Modifier for attack rolls

    The rules seem to indicate that the size modifier to the attack roll refers to the size of the creature making the attack. If so, that means a large creature always has -1 to its attack rolls no matter what, and a small creature always has +1 to its attack rolls no matter what. Am I...

    VA (northern) - Eberron game needs additional players

    Hey Jesse, I'll send you an email later today or tomorrow. I could use a 5th player if you're still looking for a group. We'll talk more via email.

    Dungoneer or Runebound?

    The solution is simple: Get both games. :-) Heck, the recommendations for Runebound are making me think of trying it out. Could you guys who recommended Runebound possibly give me a synopsis of the game and the rules?

    Dungoneer or Runebound?

    I'd place it at a 4 or so. The rules are somewhat complex, but my friends and I mastered them in a very short time. Dungeoneer.net offers a rewritten rules sheet that cleans up the writing a bit.

    Dungoneer or Runebound?

    I can't speak for Runebound, but I can talk about Dungeoneer. I've bought and played four of the Dungeoneer sets, and two guys I regularly game with both like it a lot. I think it's great because it feels like a combination of Magic:The Gathering and a D&D board game, if that makes any sense...

    At my wit's end! Looking for advice on problem players...

    Or better yet, disband the group and start over again from scratch, this time getting off on the right foot by doing what some others have wisely suggested: laying down ground rules. I just finished up GMing my first campaign, and I learned enough from it about myself as a GM and also about...

    Differences between DMG 3.0 and 3.5

    As the title suggests, I'm wondering what differences there are between the 3.0 DMG and its 3.5 volume. I have the 3.0 edition and am thinking of buying the 3.5 one, but I'm hesitant to plunk down $30.00 for a book if it is almost the same as the one I already have. Any insights on this?

    Non-gamer looking to game again

    DreadPirate, I'm currently getting a group together. I've got three players right now and could use a fourth. You can check out the game description at this thread (also in my sig): http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=143529 Hammerforge

    VA (northern) - Eberron game needs additional players

    Hello to all northern Virginia d20 system gamers: I'm currently looking for players to form a new group for a D&D 3.5 campaign I plan to DM in September or possibly October (depending on how long it takes to get a group together). Please bear with the lengthiness of this ad, but I feel that the...

    ability roll cheating

    When you allow them to roll up stats, do you let them reroll the entire set of stats if they don't like them? If you do, it's no wonder they prefer the roll method. Recently I had my players pick between a roll method or a point buy method, but I told them in advance that the roll method could...

    Constitution = hit points?

    Hmmm...how do you come to that conclusion? Are you just saying that sooner or later they will fail their Fortitude save? Maybe so, but if they are high enough level to go up against something that inflicts that much damage from a single attack, then their Fortitude save bonus should be pretty...

    Constitution = hit points?

    I was looking over Unearthed Arcana's rules on MDT and found some interesting things. I think I might use the following: MDT is equal to CON + level, or CON + 2/level. If the fortitude save fails, the character is at -1. I like this because it still maintains some sense of realism but also...

    Constitution = hit points?

    Anyone know where I can get this? I'd be interested in checking it out.

    Constitution = hit points?

    Hey all, I've been thinking of using an alternate system for hit points to create more of a realistic feel to my next campaign (D&D). Basically, I was thinking of making hit points equal to Constitution score + level. This way not only are hit points tied directly to one's physical toughness...

    D&D 4E Gencon and 4E

    It being the 40th anniversary, a product that resurrects an older aspect of D&D would be nice, like something for Greyhawk. Then again, with Eberron getting the spotlight nowadays, I doubt that would happen.
