So last session a player lent e tge alt art copy of Tales From Infinite Staircase. WotC usually has excellent production values and this was impressive. Read some of the adventures I'm familiar with 4 of them and have played 3 iirc. Overall happy with them. Anyway the loan turned...

Some have obvious flaws though that stand out. And if the hook doesn't engage you it's obvious the adventure wont appeal. Even the art or present matters. I don't pay much attention to reviews though. Eventually consensus usually emerges on adventure quality.

3.0 not 3.5. There's still a few 3 5 and Pathfinder groups around. 3.0 seems dead as proverbial Dodo. The class splat books are $5 at Noble Knight Games.

On a real game though that's what is happening. A fireball auto fail isn't that great vs free crit. The mooks are already failing 70-95% of the time. In previous threads we crunch the numbers out including empower, seeking, and the feat that ignores elemental resistances as it effects COs...

Spell DCs are generally in the 17-19 range. 70-90% failure rate on saves generally vs the mooks (+0-+2 dex, not proficient).

So Hells Rebels and Kingmaker getting the most positive points. No shattered stat for me it was around then or the ice one of stopped paying attention to the APs.

I have seen some games hovering rogues both sneak attack and backstab. Sneak attacks still at 2000 3.0 levels while hp has been increased in 3.0, 3.5, 4E and 5E. See my points about fireball and hit point inflation. 3.0 basically just added con scores to 2E monsters though.

Might buy kingmaker as run it with 5.5 bastions idk. Hmm.

More vs boss fights. It gets spammed until something flanks even with decent saves.

I like Savage time but mostly Sasserine tbh.

How much do they generally go for. Idk how much to pay or what to buy. Wondering if any are bargins

Aka exploration pillar. I played Dtuids in 1E and 2E one of my favorite classes. You weren't outshining thr fighter and no animal companion similar to fighter. Best we had was friendly elephant. Named Clive. In barding. With custom built magical trebuchet. And feather fall...... Erm nevermind.

Fughter shoukd probably be tank or striker. Defenders not really a thing outside 4E. Pen and paper. Not opposed to a defender type fighter but not as base fighter. You could probably port the 4E defender mechanic to 3rd level subclass. Good striker fighter is best fighter as death is best...

Im not sure it had direct influence. WoW was mostly done once 3.5 came out.

Apparently it wasn't a very popular classes so they buffed the hell out of it (same as cleric). And it still wasn't popular. Natural spell had its origin in 3.0. Wildshape wasn't great in AD&D mostly a ribbon for exploration pillar.

So there's a gamestore I found in little old NZ. It has some older PF APs for $60 USD. Bagged with the players guides. Kingmaker Hells Rebels Hells Vengeance Shattered Star Iron God's Council of Thieves Giant Slayer Second Darkness I've mined some of these and played first half of...

For D&D it's 9/10 kids with wallets.

Ever read OD&D, Grew Hawk boxed set (1981). Gritty Points of Light type vibe. Very different to say FR vibe.

So found a awesome store today. They had a shelf of older material from 3.5 and Pathfinder 1E. Kingmaker $60 USD complete and a copy of Shackled City for $40. Shackled city came home with me. Thinking of running it for 5E. Has anyone tried it or played it originally in 3E or Pathfinder...

Not to many people get hung up on medieval vs gritty. OD&D/1E had that dark ages/sword and Sorcery vibe. 2E eliminated that along with half orc/assassins and Monks. Medival/1E purists are few and far between now. Its shadowdark and clones of B/X and OD&D now vs 20 years ago. 2E has...
