    why orc pc?

    Orc=ECL 0 Drow=ECL way too much. Usually. Orcs tend to be evil, Drow tend to be evil to the player. Yup. Competent evil is scary even if their racial template is much to expensive.

    What Cool Things Should the Rules Let You Do?

    Hmm.. what goes on the list? Nothing. You can almost get any flavor or effect you want... you just gotta know what game engine does what.

    How do your cure spells work?

    As far as I am concerned hit points is the unkillabilty quotient. DnD characters are not wussies. They can take a spear to the heart and live. They scoop up their intestines and tuck it in, and continue fighting. It's the Gelatinous Cube physics BTW. Dying from grievous wounds is for lesser...

    Help: 5th Level Fighter Build - New Player - Child

    Yeah, fifth looks good. You can throw CR 1 or less monsters at him without much problem since he is going solo. I dislike fudging. CR 2 if you give him fast healing 1. Be first level and fudge? Nah, teach him right. Roll out in the open, let him learn the mechanics. If his character dies...

    Technomancer is the best. It has stuff like Necronium, a mana dead metal and other cool stuffs like clips of holding. Warning: It's for Gurps 3e.

    Small businesses in magic items

    It's not a WalMart, it's General Dymamics and Boeing of Thay. They do not sell cheap stuff. It's there so the rogues do not try to steal from them.

    Ugh, I hate monty haulism.

    Elf? You had a monty haul DM. We didn't have a race or class. Yup it was only attack factor, defense factor, and movement allowance.

    Is Power Creep Real? If so, how do you fight it?

    Solution? 1) Start the characters with higher stats or give stat points to the players that do weaker builds or choose sucker classes (non primary spellcasters) 2) Kill them and add their equipment to the dungeon loot.
