I wasn't very keen on the 3E idea from the begin with, but started lurking around Erich Noah's boards in the months before the release (think it was around 3 months before but I have no idea!) and it got me started on a the 3E mania and I haven't looked back since. I used to post as Zarrock...

When playing really tactically, the monks ability to maneuver himself easily into position for flanking and other supportive action - often tumbling easily through threatened squares and avoiding attacks of opportunity - is a huge boon to any party.... -Zarrock

We have a monk player IMC and his performances for the group are quite stunning (no pun intended). A cleverly played monk with lots of rank in Balance, Tumble and Jump is a terror on the battlefield simply because of their superior movement. I think the monk class is just right as it is....

The name was Hide Spell....

I own a ton of stuff, the rest of the group each own the PHB but nothing else...

I am. Liked the way he tried to do the right thing all the way - torn between all those people he loved. Sounds like quite a jump in character since the first book? The movie approach seemed more like the D'Artagnan were used to ... -Zarrock

I've copied the text from my site for ease of reference. I've got a Specific Critical Hit System tagged on to this as well that I'll post in case anyone's interested. The Severity Points rule is inspired by the optional rule Ryan Dancey presented long ago on Erich Noah's 3E News Site, were he...

I've got a detailed rework of the system for DnD on my Dragonstar site (link below). Just follow the New Rules, Game Mechanics and Severity Points links... I like the VP/WP system though...

I think your perception of what a paladin SHOULD be is much too narrow. Basically they're no more and no less than the righteous champions of law and good and to quote the PHB: "No one, no matter how diligent, can become a paladin through practice. The nature is either within one or not, and it...

And also - a true hero will act heroically no matter if people will hear about their acts or not. That's what I liked so much about Jean Valjean... In addition I'd like to add : John J. Sheridan from Babylon 5 as a nominee

Launcelot King Arthur Merlin D'Artagnan (especially as portrayed in The Man in the Iron Mask) El Cid Spartacus Beowulf Cu Chulainn Samson Ulixes/Odysseus Maximus from Gladiator and my own personal all-time favourite: Jean Valjean from "Les Miserables" - what a man....

Lots of good choices here. I only miss Dr. Hannibal Lecter - but I guess he's too much of a "hero" by now ;-) Also who wouldn't like to vote for the Devil after watching the Devil's Advocate... :p -Zarrock

Well said, Psion. These kind of spoiler posts are indeed becoming a bit to frequent IMHO. As for what else I would like to use the ELH for - the Advanced Dragons seem perfectly fitted to be used on the oldest dragons of the Dragon Empire of the Dragonstar setting. Those who know the setting...

Denmark, Århus (second largest city we have). Danish - no notable dialect except when I'm in my home region. Danish, English, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Spanish as well as my old local dialect - Danish mixed with some German and Frisian. Danish, English and German fluently. Swedish and...

I've got Monster Manual, Monsters of Faerûn, Legions of Hell, and Creatures of Rokugan. I'll buy Armies of the Abyss soon and Monster Manual 2 as soon as it becomes available - and probably Tome of Horrors as well... -Zarrock

I've got a pretty clear idea of how to use. I'm currently transferring the storyline of an old campaign of mine that ran several years ago to Dragonstar. It was very epic in scale and the full story arc stretched tens of thousands of years. The Epic Level Handbook and Deities and Demigods will...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Epic Levels from another Perspective True - my initial post didn't specifically talk about dwarves, elves and like races either - more Outsiders and other near-immortal races. Most Outsiders are extremely numerous and it's reasonable to assume that what normal humans consider...

Re: Re: Epic Levels from another Perspective Yes - if they are human it doesn't make much sense. In that case what did they do? Scour the planes for the greatest champions of a hundred worlds to enlist them in their service and then make sure the don't die of old age? I think I'll use Union -...

I have run FR exclusively for the last 3 years. In the coming months I kick my Dragonstar campaign in gear and I plan on going 50/50 between these two - depending on my own and my players moods of course... -Zarrock

I haven't received the ELH yet but I've followed the discussions here and on the Wizard's boards quite closely. Especially the complaints about the City of Union and what seems to be a guard composed of 30th level characters (and yes that thought had me baffled at first too). I brought up a...
