    Psionics are simply magic by any other name. Call it what you will.

    Surrounded

    It might be a wiser tactical choice to use the arrow on the smallest dragon: It has a greater chance of eliminating a combatant, even if one of the lesser ones.

    WotC sues Nintendo over Pokemon

    Woudn't it be impossible for another company to start making Pokemon cards, since Wizards holds the patent on turning cards sideways or upside down to denote in game effects?

    Wormtongue Spell (metamagic)

    What happens if the Bluff check is a failure? Does the spell miscast, or do the targers simply realize that they're being dwoemered and the spell works normally?

    how close to the rules do you play? poll #4 (alternate classes)

    We use only WotC stuff not because we don't allow other things, but merely as other stuff just hasn't really stricken our fancy enough to make us want to try it out, for the most partish kinda sorta.

    This week - a very possible TPK

    Here's one: That Wouldn't Be Fun. Think of something cinematic and cool instead. I like the ritual suggestion above, Don't Bother Me I'm Casting Big Magic is always fun. Heck, maybe he's just forging a magic item and can't fight or the creation process will go sour. But remember: killing off...

    Are playing the Iconic Party?

    We've...kinda. We've got a: • Fighter 5/Lasher 1 • Druid 6 • Ranger 6 • Half-Oger Barbarian 4 • Barbarian 1/Sorcerer 5 I guess the sorcerer/bbn could be a Mage Guy, and the Druid could be a Healer. Half-Oger is DEFINITELY a tank, through and through. The ranger's got a lot of skills, but not...

    how close to the rules do you play? poll #2(hit points)

    I usually do it "word for word." However, I have run one-offs where I've used Vp/Wp and Ken Hood's Grim and Gritty HP system. Normally, though, I just use them like the nice man tells me to.

    "Flurry" Enhancement

    There's one HUGE difference between Speed and Flurry though: You get the extra swing with Speed without having to take a full attack action. (EDIT: Well, not in 3.5, I guess.) +2 is looking good, right now. Nor the last... You stole my name, dammit. --Jeff.

    "Flurry" Enhancement

    In Oriental Adventures, there is a specific weapon called the Serpent's Tooth. It's enhancements are +2 and Initiative, and it grants the ability to let the user use it for a Flurry of Blows, making one extra attack with the Serpent's Tooth at the character's highest attack bonus but suffering a...

    Item: Deathstrike bow

    Eh? +5 base, +2 Unholy, +1 Distance, +1 Flaming: +9 total. 9 squared is 81. 81x2,000 is 162,000. Or was Unholy 3.5ed or Errattaed to be worht +1 bonus?

    I Need to Work on my Opening Scenes.

    You might have wanted to read the entire thing. Both new players have a background in complex games, and caught on extremely quickly. The level isn't a problem. If you have any useful advice, I'm all ears.

    I Need to Work on my Opening Scenes.

    Hey BSF! Those are some pretty nifty ideas. :) I like the concept of doing a cut scene to Murdok At Home, it could really give them a good idea of who this guy is; and that without revealing too much. One to Dorus I'm not so sure about, as he's less important to the central themes of the story...

    Continual Flame and Market price Ever burning Items?

    Does it ever state the speed at which Ioun stones rotate? Might an Everburning Grey Ioun Stone spin so fast that it creates a halo of light, like one of those glowy wands they hand out at Bar Mitzvote bent into a circle and hovering above your head, rather than a constantly flickering and...
