I would be completely opposite. I am a cannonist and by that I don't mean I sling a lot of lead or propel myself through the air. I generally play by the setting or rules. I'll give you an example. I DM D20 modern for my group. We have made minimal house rules to this point. In general we...

JPL Couple of my thoughts on what would be included (purely conjecture): 1. How to run small combats. 2. Soldier's life in the army 3. Difficulty with food or equipment availabity (ie effects on economy) 4. Leadership prestige classes, war mage, etc. 5. New spells for combat I would like to...

Anyone think the dragon from that photo looks a lot like Smog from the old LOTR cartoon?

Joshua Dyal You would be correct sir! Mystery Man: Well as a urologist I could comment on your commnetary, but instead I chose to just chuckle to myself and shake my head. By the way I'll throw in my vote for Drek from Shadowrun.

I'm not sure how I'd handle the firearms reload. If a feat can knock reload times down to a standard action, then I could start firing once per round for 2d6 damage which could get pretty out of whack. As it stands I took the quickdraw feat allowing me to draw my pistols as a free action. If...

Pirate Cat Where do I find this lasher you speak highly of?

On another note, the spike chain is pretty similar to the whip, but does real damage and can also strike adjacent squares adding more fuel to the fire regarding the inadaquecies of the whip. Too bad I hate the idea of my character wielding this weapon.

I was thinking about creating a character conept of a rapier/whip wielding character with several feats including improved disarm, two weapon fighting, and improved trip. His gig would be to use improve trip and strike the downed oppenent with his off handed rapier. It suddenly dawned on me...

I saw one briefly. It was a dangerous encounter at a jewelry store. I was shopping for engagement rings for my girlfriend. The combat went something like this: 1. Burst forward to attack during the suprise pricing phase. I was caught flat footed. 2. Then it cast mirror image to make itself...

I stand corrected and learned something new. I actually looked up carrying capacity and never knew it was adjusted for size. I guess I yearn for older editions when for the sake of simplicity a Str of 16 was a Str of 16 for everyone. The ability scores were the same and could be used for...

I've never understood everyone's disdain for the current magic system? People seem to be really unhappy with the memorization of spells. I'm not sure what actual rules people would like to see. I don't know what system AU uses since I don't own the book. I've used spell point buy from 2nd ed...

Drop the stupid weapon sizes. Where were the legions of gamers saying this needed to be added into the game? I think this was incorporated to 3.5 to add to the list of things they supposedly "enhanced/fixed". Logically I agree that a "small" longsword wielded by a halfling should do less...

Sharpie typically wipes away with 70% ethyl alchol (the same stuff in liquor, otherwise known as ETOH). I'm not sure where one gets pure ethyl alcohol though? We used to use it to sterilize things in our research lab and used sharpies all the time to label things. I can remeber one of the...

I will strongly second (or maybe 3rd at this point) the Psychic's Handbook. It offers tremendous playability on a skill based magic/psychic mechanic. It would take a sizeable amount of work to convert existing spells, but it sounds like you may have a more limited spell selection.

I think all of you pessimists should rethink your statements on this thread. In this new year we should not look back and instead look forward. It's not important to discuss which DND words were overused. It's far more important to discuss which words should be incorporated into the gaming...

Ghostwind: You mentioned Monte Cook twice!. Although I don't see anything Freudian about it. Watch out around here. Someone is likely to call you Monte's fanboy :uhoh:

I find the complexity of the game largely depends on the players. It greatly depends on how your group responds to feats/skills. If players stick to main books then things aren't so bad. If they start grabbing from other sources then things can get out of control. I know I might get flamed...

Eric, I sort have been doing this by necessity. I moved away from my original group and now we are all professionals with little time. We get together about every 4 months. My best recommendation is to consider d20 modern. We play it like a series of X-files episodes loosely based on Dark...

Well considering that my druid has never encountered another druid in the game, I guess that I will just continue to speak druid to the voices in my head.

Just bought Blood and Guts based on reviews. Bought my friends Oriental Adventures and the Draconomicon based on Enworld recommendations too. Thanks Enworld!
