Have looked at the factotum: you are right. i will see how the DM is defining "encounter" for the purpose of the factotum's per-encounter abilities...

Thanx all for your suggestions... I will see what i can do with Forgotten Realms (which i own), Eberron (a fellow gamer owns) or Dragonlance (another friend of mine owns) stuff, but i guess this is a nono for my GM. He prefers to stick to Greyhawk and all those brown / blue covered WotC...

Hiho @all! I wanna play a curious-all-buttons-pressing-inventor-mechanic-type of gnome but... what class should i start with (rogue is possibly the best, but i don't have need for sneak attack and similar class features)...or what prestige class should i work towards to? we play greyhawk and...

WOW...so you have two tries at the dungeon door and if both fail say goodbye, adventure over? This can't be right. This should't be right...IMO WotC is taking the wrong route here. I don't like their "new" adventure format (with its too confusing layout) but this would perfectly fit with these...

hi@all can anyone point me to a dungeon crawl adventure suitable for characters of 8th level and playable in one evening's sessioon (4-5 hours)? need one for thursday evening this week and haven't found a suitable one (yet). have already checked WotC's free adventures, but nothing found... oh...

I'm not searching for (standard/pure) fantasy, nor scifi, nor pulp. The three mentioned above are the only ones I consider at the moment (and my players would be interested in) I want something other in tone...i played on FR (currently too high magic for me), i have Conan (currently my players...

Hi @All... I need a change in campaign setting style... So please tell me the difference (setting and rules wise) between Eberron, DArk Legacies and the Iron Kingdoms campaign settings...Are these compareable (both are fantasy-steampunk, aren't they) and if so where are the differences and...

Hi. Here is my proposal (which also can be found on troll lord's boards)... Gaining Skills At each new character level (including level 1), a character gains 1 new skill. Alternatively, a characters gains a new skill at each even level or any other progression as determined by the GM (including...

Hi! Are there any rules for casting spells (and their altered effects) underwater? I do not need new spells, there are already too many out there, but i need rules for spell effects cast underwater... Thanks

hi @all! i'm yet undecided to buy or not to buy T&T. i never played it and never had any book read, although i heard several good things about it. so, has anyone already bought the "new" (reprint) 5.5 edition and what's your opinion about it. furthermore, there will be a 7th edition by fiery...

From the intro-chapter of the wotc-excerpt i read that there a new spells and magic items suitable to use for underwater campaigns. BUT...what about rules for casting spells underwater? is this covered in the book? (i don't need new spells, there are already thousands of them out there, but i...

Hi @all; A couple of sessions ago we played the freeport trilogy from green ronin. We were at Blackdog's Caves and discovered the Sabre of Sorror, a cursed item. Later on, as our fellow party member discovered the blade's side effects, a discussion arised: You see i play a paladin with the...

hi @all, yesterday evening's session, the character's visited an ancient temple. some of the rooms were flooded up to the ceiling. The PC's all had Water Breathing spells cast on them, including our sorcerer. Then came the time, when the sorcerer wanted to cast the Detect Magic spell and our...

Hello @All, Can someone plase tell me, what the critical hit / fumble tables in SSS' Advanced Player Guide are, i.e. are there separate charts for each weapon and / or damage type, spellcasting / energy criticals / fumbles and do they differentiate between various creature types? Or can...

Think your DM's "ruling" here is ok. As a player you do not really need those books, although at some time in the near future, he should brief you on possible prestige classes. I think a strong point of the setting is its flavor. Reading the books can spoil the atmosphere. If your DM is "good"...

i think, it's not only the mega-modules lacking in fun and ideas. whenever i think about wotc-modules, hack'n slay comes to mind (which isn't bad in it self). enter romm a, deal with monster group a. enter room and deal with monster group b, enter romms c and...uh, wait...it's empty.enter room...

hi @all, i'm from germany, near mannheim. 32 years old. programmer & sys-admin. i play D&D since 15 years, but i also have played warhammer frp, earthdawn, shadowrun, gurps and a few others. on occasion i have also played tabletop games (warhammer and cronopia), but less time means less gaming...

the book arrived four days ago, and i have skimmed through the pages (224 of them). my first impression: layout: - font size too large - space between text columns too large - page borgers to wide - some really good grafics, some really poor - all grafics b&w only - tables partly overlapping...

Skeleton Key Games...Has anyone experience with these and what's your opinion? How many of the boards would I need (one or better two of them and how many tileset are you suggesing?) Thanx

Well, there is so many stuff out there in these days and I think half of that (minimum) you can create with the PHB, DMG and MM. Mmmh, it's exactly that deep of the FRCS, that is annoying to me. All is clustered with too much stuff, too much detail. I feel limited by that much stuff, giving me...
