I assumed that Roy was using all of his square and taking a step between iterative attacks.

Ridiculously overlarge weapons? Has to be Games Workshop. Alternatively, find a figure for the rest of the character and add a huge weapon (drill & pin/superglue/greenstuff)

That's the way I read it. No houserule necessary.

Then the affected GMs have more problems than burning out. Join another group. I can't imagine wanting to be in a group where I was the only one willing to get off my bum and run a game. Are there really groups where all but one of them is a leech? I was posting the story hour for my campaign...

Just what I have decided to do after running my 3.5 campaign for a little over 3 years (around 70 sessions I think). I found I was not particularly enjoying being GM and, in my opinion, the game was beginning to suffer as a result. Enjoy playing for a few months while your creative juices are...

If you're that bent about it just house rule as you see fit. I agree that it isn't really worth much (and that I hadn't remembered the rules correctly) in a higher level game, but still potentially useful. And VERY powerful in a lower level game, where the extra attack or two could make a big...

Your wild mage player sounds like a bundle of laughs. Don't forget that, if your players' character choices cause you grief, it is your fault for allowing them. No GM likes saying no to a player's ideas but, sometimes, you have to decide what's better for the game: order or chaos?

A Wizards' XP 'spend' is balanced by being able to make a 100% GP profit on anything he makes. If the party Wiz decides to make stuff for the rest of the party at cost he is doing himself out of a lot of cash and getting little tangible return. Personally, I would allow the transfer of XPs...

Why would you think that a flying sword wielding itself would get a STR bonus to hit or damage? A Dancing weapon could be pretty nifty: give you a flank (handy for a rogue), keep a regenerating creature from regenerating, defend a doorway, loads of things. Oh yeah, Artificers are great. I...

Sounds more like "I've managed to persuade my GM to let me to do it and now CustServ are telling him I can't".

I think a GM can do what he likes with the game. It's his game. Even Gaxy Gygar said users of his rulebooks could do what they liked with them (at least, I'm pretty sure that was what he meant) and if it's good enough for him... That said, there has to be a balance between a GM's rules and the...

Not totally useless (had one of the main fighters doing half his normal damage to a dragon as he had broken his magical weapon) but nearly so. Not as useless as Ki Strike: Lawful, though.

I like the idea. In fact, it is about the only thing from UA that was any good (IMO). Played through about half of WLD as gestalt and it was fun for the players. I agree with the above posters that they make it very hard for the poor GM but are not all-conquering. Certainly, we were fairly...

Certainly would show the position and school/power of the trap but not that is is actually a trap. The caster would know there is magic but not its purpose.

You have to remember that a portable hole can only be opened on a flat horizontal surface. Most of the time it will be rolled/folded up so the occupant couldn't get out. Bag of Holding is different but, if I had one, I would make sure it was securely done up. Plane Shift wouldn't work as...

I agree. I always thought the distinction should have been Wizard = Arcane, Sorcerer = Psionic. Or some other distinction making the classes more different.

I always thought Gandalf's most spectacular trick was beating a Balrog to death. He set fire to a load of trees and wolves. He broke Saruman's staff (ranged touch attack, I guess. Maybe Shatter). He collapsed the Bridge of Khazad-Dum, stopping the Balrog getting past (didn't you get that far in...

No way is Bushido obscure. Too many people have heard of it. I was going to say Morrow Project but got in too late. Flashing Blades, anyone? Bit like En Guard but with more role-playing. Still play it at least once a year and it's great. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Rolled up a character...

Must be a little dense this morning because I can't see what the heck you are trying to do here. You want player A's action in 11 to not happen until player B's action in 10, so player B can do something about it. So, what is the point of rolling 11? If you roll higher initiative than someone...

Crwm! There's lovely, isn't it. My vote goes for either Austrian (it's the only accent in which I've heard Conan speak) or a deep, husky Scottish (bit like Gimli, only taller and with more bass)
