Two days ago I taught two people how to play DnD. One had done a lot of WH40K, the other a good deal of LotR cards. It was incredibly easy. Took maybe a minute for the basics, another four or five or skills. Neither had a spellcasting character, but they picked that up mighty quickly from the...

Rune Spell (Metamagic) You may transform your spells into trigerable symbols. Benefit: Only spells with a casting time of either one action or a full round action may be affected by Rune Spell. The casting time of the spell increases to 10 minutes, and the duration changes to "one year or until...

I'm pretty sure that there's a rule (3.0) that states that hits with off-hand attacks only add half the attacker's strength modifier, rounded down, to the amount of damage dealt. But I can't find it (I looked under the Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting feats as well as the attacking with two...

Yes and Yes. And l'shana tovah!

Against opponants at negative HP, wouldn't a simple attack be more effective than a CDG? Since a KOed character has a dex of 0, and as a prone character you get +2 to attack them, then you're almost sure to hit. If they're in negative HP, you don't need to deal more than 9 damage, which is...

But, you know, it's the worst movie that I've ever had the misfortune to see.

...CAN you carry a taknuke? How big are they, really?

It would be my favorite spell, if there were no Alter Self. As Presto is for 0 level spells, Alter is for 2nd level spells. Lets you breath under water, fly, change shape...

They're a light offhand weapon for dual wielding gnomes and halflings.

Indeed.

If you actually have medieval arms and armor lying around your house, as your post suggests you do, that is extremely cool. :cool:

In the campaign I'm currently playing in, my character (a shamanish type, Barbarian/Sorcerer) uses a scimitar, but has recently taken to firing arrows of spell storing prepaired with various nastiness. Our main fighter (half oger half orc) uses a Huge Greataxe or Large Trident, depending on...

My philosophy is "you can't ruin plans that don't exist." So, what I do in prepairing for a session is simply stat out ~5-6 major NPCs and have the opening scene in mind. The entire rest of the game depends on what the PCs do. Sometimes I have a few plot mini-archs or set pieces in mind that I...

Since interest has been expressed (and this thread is on page II), I shall summaraze the Feng Shui system. Basics All you need to play are 2d6, of different color. One is your Plus die, one your Minus die. When you want to do something difficult, you determine your Action Value--or AV--usually...

I think your best chance would be to get Adept followers and give them all wands of Lightning Bolt created by the party mage (ie, 10 damage dice) or something like that. Extra energy attacks are always useful, even if they're only 18 damage each (I'm assuming the target almost always saves).

! I lost power for a day and a half. Got it back 15 minutes ago. (and the first thing I do is surf the web at 11:00 at night! Typical. :p)

I tend to run humanocentric campaigns, so I voted Humans. But my GM, Corlon, loves him his sahuagin. Even when we fireball their ships, they just swim! Ngyargh!

GMS pitched the idea while while back on one of RPG.Net's forums (I think it was Tangency), but I can't for the life of me find the thread...

So, it's only 4 and a half months away--time for someone to start a planning thread? (Or turn this into the planning thread?) We're already getting requests. :) And I think I'll run something this time around. Star Wars set 15 years before the Naboo incident, using the Feng Shui system. :cool...

This idea just struck me, and I may never get to use it, but it is cool none the less: I'm imagining a campaign about the supernatural, but having actual supernatural elements quite rare. There are mad wizards and secret cabals, shadow demons and rune-covered blades of power--but not a whole...
