    The Magic-Walmart myth

    Ah, but DnD is not real. It doesn't even pretend to have a sane economic system. Adventurers dumping tons of gold, doesn't cause inflation. There is no supply and demand, not much anyway.

    The Magic-Walmart myth

    Stage Four - Worlds made by writers that do not understand economics or do not even pretend that their game engine stimulates reality. Generally it's worlds that have magic and can somehow turn lead into gold or have the correct epic feats that eschew material components combined with fabricate.

    Greed is a funny thing.

    Ooo. Anything? It says anything. I understand what anything is. Neat... Magic items is a thing is it not?

    Forcing rules to accomodate character concepts

    I don't have players who are like this. But if I had players like this I would make a game that would accommodate them. How would you handle a group that only made up of Aragorn, Boba Fett, and Conan besides dumping them? Obviously you can't handle a group like this... That's why gaming is...

    Forcing rules to accomodate character concepts

    All right, I challenge you to come up with a campaign that uses Aragorn, Conan, and Boba Fett that is cool.

    Forcing rules to accomodate character concepts

    So what are you planning to do with a complaining Boba Bett, Aragorn, and Conan? Let them be miserable? My point, is that you should run something like this to burn it out of their system. Sometimes players just want to play that character once for real. If you not, well, deal with it. Some...

    Will-o-wisps and Maze

    Maze? Because Will o Wisps are silly creatures.

    Variant spell descriptions

    Magic missile will look like you are spraying people with a submachine gun. Fireball looks like you are using a bazooka. Bored Flak did this.

    The Magic-Walmart myth

    Ouch. I can get you X, but you will have to pay for two teleports. Ahahaha!

    The Magic-Walmart myth

    Yup. Or they volunteer to join the city watch until they feel "refreshed" or go hunting to "get inspired" enough to go and enchant. It's a very well paying job. For very little time you earn 500 gp or less per day you work. 500 gp per day you work. Yeah, it's safe to say most wizards will...

    Int = IQ?

    Yeah, well he had lots of skill levels in physics. I statted him up as com 20 (you know, so he can beat up those lethal housecats). Not like Dnd is supposed to even resemble reality. My formula: INT x 5 + 50 = IQ

    Forcing rules to accomodate character concepts

    Absolutely. His example is Aragorn, Conan, and Boba Fetts... fine. Here's your opening scene. Aragorn, your boat was engulfed by sandstorm cast by Sauron as he climbed out of hell. You don't know how, but he's back. When the sandstorm died down you found out that he exiled you to Tattoine...

    Making Life Easier For the GM: Index of monsters & NPCs?

    Character optimization threads down a WOTC... ahem. http://boards1.wizards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=339 As a base then I customize it.

    Gnome Hooked Hammer

    There is no "one" Gnome hooked hammer. One may look like a starhook with a mace head on it, while another would look like a morningstar with hooks, however all of them can function as a hammer or a "hook." In fact one of them is a grappling hook with a handle and one of the times was replaced...

    Sell me on Complete Mage/Complete Scoundrel/Complete Champion

    Get it. It will be worth more in the future. Someday in the future you will need it and will not have it and will kick yourself. Someday a feat in this book will save your character's life. Someday it will inspire you, but not in the way the author intends. Ahahahahah!

    PHB2 Affiliations - How well do they play?

    Me? I just use them as plot hook generators, and use them as factions, so I can get some inter class rivalries. Druid summoners verses Druid wildshapers verses... or different flavors of Paladins, Pelor, Hiero, Saint Cuth, Crown Paladins etc...

    Wizard: Essential Class or Scared Cow

    Ah, you want a classless game. I suspect you support Gandalf Marx. "Down with all classes!" HInt, DnD is not real. It is a game. DnD doesn't even pretend to be real. It's a Gygaxian psychosis with rules. Why not? DnD is not real. Levels is part of the DnD laws of reality in this strange...
