Rappan Athuk is a great beer and pretzels adventure. If I remember correctly, there is a toilet golem in the dungeon. How can any adventure even compare?

Sure I agree, but that is what happens to the creatures in the MM. If the designers intended it otherwise, I think they would written high CR monsters differently. Instead they do massive damage, have high DR and SR. Sure a creative DM can make things better. Same way I can trick out a Honda...

Your description reminds me of DND at 7-12th level and is precisely what I enjoy as well. 13th+ starts to lack creativity IMHO. Challenging the PCs seems to be comprised of blasting them with save or die spells, uping damage reduction, increasing spell resistence, and hitting them with an...

Maybe I shouldn't have used roleplaying. You're correct that min/maxing and roleplaying aren't related. Character conept is probably a better choice of words. My dwarven miner stated above had +3 enchantments on both his picks which began to become useless compared to the barbarian with the...

You just summarized my point very eloquently. What took me half a page took you only a few lines

I won't comment on the breakdown of the game due power creep in social interactions. I do not feel the need to kill the common shopkeeper because I am 15th level and practically indestructable in a small village. From a behavioral standpoint I will assume my character will remain civil even...

Urohawk I played in only one adventure, but had a blast. It reminds me of Indian Jones/Wild West type feel. For some reason it reminds me of the westward expansion in the US. My biggest complaint is the main sourcebook. Unfortunately it reads like stereo instructions. I had problems...

I thought it was well read outside of fantasy circles by non-gamers as well. I think animated cartoon would do well because you can put really high fantasy elements into play without the concern of crappy CGI. It turns out someone had a similar idea as me. I guess there is an offical...

It sounds as if you assume that WOTC designers are the best. I would argue that they have cast off most of those so called "skilled" writers such as Cook, Baur, Reynolds, etc. Admittedly they have good people now, but many of the most experienced people were let go because they cost too much...

I agree with your idea but disagree with the subject. Dragonlance had a huge following when I was in junior high. In my mind it's the next closest thing to LOTR. That's why my epic animated motion picture Dragonlance series with DND tagged on the title, IMHO would make money. Now that LOTR...

Do they still do this now that MBNA was taken over by Bank of America?

Not to thread-jack but what sort of build is the character and what sourcebooks did your player use? I am thinking about creating such a character and I hope to use your response and the monster types in this thread as inspiration.

I guess the devil is in the details. I know WOTC released 3E. Sorry I wasn't more specific. I realize they were different companies but I look at them collectively as the makers of DND.

I guess I would have to buy a splatbook before I knew what to do with one. :D I stick with world sourcebooks, adventures, and monster books. I enjoyed the 2E splatbooks a lot even though some were very unbalanced. Then I had to watch TSR gut their product lines and release a new edition (3E)...

I believe his is a dragonfire adept. He has a ton of breath weapons. The cleric is a cleric of Heironeous and is pretty kick but with turning. We also have 5-7 players if you include NPCs at one time which reduces the risk for a TPK as I think the adventure is written for 4 PCs. Our party...

Actually, noone died. We had 3 sessions to complete this portion of the adventure. I missed the middle section so I can't give you the details. There are many opportunities for a TPK in this portion. I would say that AoW teaches you to be very cautious once you reach the Spire. We stick...

I have some vague memories of this adventure from my days in high school. If I remember correctly there are a series of artifacts that need to be recovered in order to make the mountain appear. These were a blast to play. One in particular is defending a village from on onslaught of 150+...

I agree! By Rod of Seven Parts do you mean the adventure box set from 2nd ed? Do you guys know if the Wind Dukes have been written up to be used as PCs? What LA would you give them? Any thoughts on prestige classes or alternative classes that may fulfill what I'm looking for.

Thanks, that isn't exactly where I would expect to find them!.
