Fine, instead of 1 minute/level, go back to 10 rounds/level.

I don't see how even spell durations would be affected. Spells with round/level durations would obviously last just as long, combat-wise, although a bit longer time-wise, but that hardly matters. And the next shortest duration, minute/level would still last longer than all combats. All other...

Kadoch frowns, and shakes his head. "Master Acktet, I must express doubt. A great part of my value as a guard is the skill with which my armor and weapons were crafted, as well as the skill with which I use such tools. By your description, it is obvious I couldn't use my own weapon, and even...

Well declining to join Mensa, in my mind, is actually a sign of intelligence anyway, since Mensa is a pretty dumb instituion. Prolly doesn't justify an 18 by itself, but it's a step in the right direction.

I'd probably be a half-ogre, half-medusa, half-vampire, half-illithid (my grand-parents are that cool! And no, I'm not being sarcastic). My stats would be average, but with the racial boosts, they'd end up alright. And with all those templates, even thouigh I'm 29, my ECL would be so high...

Well this one requires some acting talent, so you might not be able to use it. Next time it happens, break into tears. Big sobbing fit. Blubber about how he's totally ruining the game for you, making short drift of all your hard work. Then run out of the room. Sure, they'll think you went...

I make it a big point to appear to be an adversary. I express glee when a PC die, I express a bit of chagrin when they run over a NPC that was supposed to be tough, or easily defeat a clever trap/whatever. Of course the truth is very different. I'm somewhat neutral, pulling for them a bit...

They did have male medusas in AD&D second edition, but they were fairly lame. No snakes whatsoever, they were basically decent fighters with immunity to petrification as their sole "special ability".

The whole thing is really weird to me. I don't mean I don't believe it or anything, mind you. But.. How much cash can the guy has actually stolen? I understand that the figure must be fairly large, by normal standards. But.. The guy skipped town, to a degree that a PI can't actually find...

Normand mutters under his breath. "Unless the fall was caused by violence.." Not that I believe it was. Moving the strap of his rifle on his shoulder a tad to change the tension point, Normand looks at Nedjar and shrugs.

To quote a great movie.. "It's a trick. Get an axe."

And if the fighter in my party is a lightly armored fighter/rogue archer, I make sure I kick his butt to the curb if he refuses to act as the meat shield, even though my cleric is in Full plate and is much better at the role, because, really, it's easy to find fighters who will act as the...

My players draw their own map, so I couldn't possibly do the secret door blunder.. Or could I? "So the room is 20 feet by 20 feet, 'blah blah blah', there's a door in the middle of the eastern wall and a secret door on the southern wall. Well, it's not really -all- that secret." And...

I once played a cleric of St-Cuthbert who was quite twinked for combat. In fact, he was the party main tank/ass-kicker, the other characters being an fighter (but built as an archer), a rogue and a wizzie. The player of the archer kept trying to tell me not to use my spells for buffs/combat...

At the question, Kadoch throws Erik a glance, raising his eyebrows. Turning his attention back to the man, he shrugs once more. "Not sure 'bout that one, but the three of us are indeed together."

Undead creatures who can cast inflict wounds or do the reverse of lay-on-hands is great for that, because their "healing" capabilities can also be used as an offensive ability against the vast majority of PCs. The WLD has an encounter like that, and it really freaked my players out. A group of...

I rolled a d12 to attack once. Noticed it as soon as it left my hand, but it didn't stop my players from laughing at me. :( We also have a "cheater" with "invisible" dice, but none of us mind. He's the worse tactician and character builder we've ever seen, so it pretty much evens out, in the...

"Aww geez. Let's see what I can do." Kadoch quickly jogs nearer Erik and Grom, making sure to have his armor make as much clanging as he can. "Hey hey. Let's not fight when we ain't even paid for it, alright? Grom, is it? Seems like we all will be working together. Instead of fighting now...

Kadoch starts to mutter... "Oy, working with him sure will be plea.." And then sees Erik colliding with the man. "Aww geez."

Kadoch smiles and shakes his head. "I guess we'll see when the time comes. I've made this armor, I'm confident it'll serve me well."
