How about a feat that reduces the level increase for meta'd spells? A Silent Spell could be the same level as its noisy cousin and a maximised spell would only be 2 slots higher. Granted, it's unlikely that anyone would take this feat but then, according to many of the metamagic threads...

I assumed, mistakenly it appears, that by saying IMO ("in my opinion") it was obvious I was not quoting rules.

I don't count encounters. I give XPs for encounters, plus extra for roleplaying. If they avoid an encounter they knew about, they get the XPs (generally). If they miss an encounter they get nowt. My "adventure arcs" are broadly based on a BBEG (or BBGG as my players are mostly evil) and the...

Try an Ethereal Filcher. One of the stupidest looking creatures but could get the job done. Then they could quest to get their stuff back. Double result.

Vampire and Dread Wraith generals leading an assortment of Wraiths and Spectres who are there for the mass feed.

How about having the Goblins (if there ARE actually goblins) attack the party as they are horning in on their turf. After all, they may have had their eyes on the horse themselves. Or, if the goblins are better organised they might frame the party as being the raiders. I know what you mean...

We tend to digress a lot, talk about films, books, whatever is sparked off by the game. We always manage to get back to it, though, and generally take our gaming quite seriously. "Humourous" character names are frowned upon, but character quirks are actually rather refreshing. We have a history...

We generally play 4-10(ish) on Sundays. Can't start earlier due to people wanting to be with their kids. Don't see the problem, myself. Surely that's what Saturdays are for. On the very odd occasion we play Saturdays it's 10/11 until 9/10. In the good old days we'd start Friday evening and...

Seems to be almost universal. My Dwarves speak Glaswegian (even if they are from central Europe), my Elves are generally softly-spoken and do, indeed, use the Queen's English. Halflings/Pecks/Stunties/Ratlings/etc. are from the West Country. Greenskins (Orcs, gobbos, etc.) are from Watford...

Why would you want to pin a stirge that was attached to you? It would still be attached and still able to drink (I think). A successful grapple attempt to unattach a stirge would still result in it being in your grip and it would not be able to reattach itself until it had escaped. A stirge...

Funnily enough, even when we try to adopt accents (american for D20 Modern, others as appropriate) we generally fail to keep it going for more than an hour or so before returning to English. As for Americans using English accents - you sure you're not using Australian? Only, you yanks seem to...

Nah, that was "bork, bork, bork!"

In defence of GMs posting comments recorded during games, it is sometimes very difficult to judge if such was OOC or not. I can normally tell but, sometimes the comment is so funny that it just HAS to make it into the story hour. To make it easier, perhaps players should talk in character all...

There's no need for them to know. Then again, the modules I use are generally for extinct game systems that I have picked up for pennies so the name wouldn't mean that much.

Ooh. Pretty! Can't think of much use for most of them, but the Couatl sure looks nice.

Hello. I'm Rob and I have a problem. The problem is that I don't get to game enough! I'm 41 and have been playing D&D since I was 12 (I still have the White Box), although we stopped playing it for a few years to concentrate on Runequest. I am a Software Developer with a well-known...

Don't see why not. After all, you're only copying the incantation and instructions.

Heh, heh. I was guilty of this when I started my campaign. I was determined to post the story so wanted to get as much down as possible. I found that I was spending more time making notes than running the game and that just would not do. After one session like that I decided to record the game...

I was all set to say that after reading the rules I would reverse my opinion and go for +1 +WIS Bonus but, upon further thought (and reading the arguments posted) I will stand by +1. The item isn't exactly broken, but is very poorly described. It is either very cheap or a bit expensive...

One of my players has just taken Leadership and intends to have a cleric. If she (the cleric) accompanies the party and takes part in encounters then she will most definitely be included in the party for calculating XPs, though she will only level up in line with the Leadership feat itself. If...
