Which is what I'm demonstrating. :D

Warlocks can be artillery, but they don't have to be. It's just a matter of picking the right invocations.

If you are unarmed when you attempt to disarm an opponent, you are considered to be using a light weapon. If you use a two-handed weapon, you gain a +4 bonus on your roll. If you use both hands when making an unarmed disarm attempt (as opposed to, say, having a shield or weapon in one hand and...

Dude, the poll does not explicitly state that it's TSR's version. So don't go hatin' on Leiber and his work! Instead, destroy Freeport. Dullsville!

But the poll doesn't specify anything about utility from a gaming perspective. :D

Just remember that what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If you implement this rule, you can and should have a (hidden) BBEG interrupt a talking PC to automatically act at the start of the initiative order.

Time to get rid of that johnny-come-lately, Freeport.

Freeport: not classic, not staying.

And which spells require a virgin sacrifice or a conjunction of planets? :p

Because among demihumans, a thief's soul can grow bigger than anyone else's.

Great work as always. I do hope you write up the reunion sessions, possibly as a separate thread (an "epilogue" or "coda" rather than as part of Book IV), but of course this shouldn't take precedence over working on the new campaign! (Or grad school... :D ) Oh, and you seem to have forgotten...

Yes, and the cast of Friends did OK without any spellcasting or combat ability whatsoever!

Sure, if your idea of math is something along the lines of 17+30=19, or something. :p Conan is described as a youth in the stories dealing with the start of his career, while he's old enough when he becomes King of Aquilonia that his continued physical vigor at his age is noteworthy. That's...

I would have killed to get a reserve feat for my wizard in el-remmen's Out of the Frying Pan campaign. Or if not killed, at least seriously maimed.

I'm not the one who brought the specific example of "1 STR" into the discussion. But if you prefer, I'd say that a fighter who's dropped from 18 STR to 9 STR is more hampered than a wizard who's dropped from 10 STR to 1 STR. The variability is irrelevant. Yes, the RoE penalty is higher than...

Tell us more about yourself and your players. What do each of you like in a D&D game?

To take the opposite side in this argument, a wizard whose strength drops too low can find himself too encumbered to move. This is bad when it keeps the wizard from disengaging from melee. (This happened to my wizard once when fighting some shadows early in his career.)

If you've got a PC with built-in SR in the group, then either you make sure to only cast bull's strength on him before combat, or you cast it on someone else. Or don't have a PC with SR in the group. It's not like the party can't plan around it, and it's a corner case anyway. You might as...

An enemy wizard with a 1 STR will be hampered, but not nearly so much as an enemy fighter with a 1 STR. No. That's like responding to "1+1+1+1=4" with "Let's look at the middle 1+1; you're saying that 1+1 equals 4. Is that accurate?" This is just one component of what makes bull's strength a...

And which one do you think gets invited to more parties? :D
