    Never Trust a New DM

    My first DM'ing session was right out of a WotC adventure "Into the Dragons Lair" The PC's were all about 10th lvl, and had been following a local guide (secretly evil 10th lvl ranger, who was leading them to a trap) I suddenly tell them they are hit with a fire ball (from a hidden mage, hasted)...

    Are there any animals with a long life span?

    If you were a druid and hauled around a Joshua Tree you could expect it to live over 10,000 years. There are a couple that live longer, but that is the only one I remembered.

    Signs... A good d20 Modern adventure?

    Well, if holy water could kill me, I think I would stay away from water in general as a saftey precaution. Yes, eventually people were using water all over the world, but I'm sure the method spread very quickly, if through radio, morse code, horses... i dunno. The director left it intentionally...

    Character betraying party... thoughts?

    For some reason the only thing that came to mind when you mention party members betraying each other is the invisible man in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and what happens to him. If you read it you will know what I mean, if you don't, well... Erics grandmaw wouldnt like me to describe it.

    Signs... A good d20 Modern adventure?

    Thats because only holy water kills them :D The water they threw on the alien was in a preachers house (semi-stretch) and then they said that they learned to defeat the aliens from the Holy Land on the television. They were demons not aliens :) Anyway, the actual war with the aliens wasnt the...

    Has anyone sold their 3e books yet?

    Sold mine already to our local gaming shop. They have a used gaming materials sections which is quite nice actually. I got about 10-15 dollars a book in store credit, which I immediatly spent on a blood bowl team :D Brings me back to the days sitting in front of my gaming system playing Mutant...

    I've got the 3.5 PHB in front of me

    We should take discussion about his answers to other threads, so that it is easier for him to skim the board for quesitons, and not have to plow through discussion. With that, here is my one question: what does improved weapon specilization and focus do, and what are the pre-req's?

    "holy" weapons in a system without alignment?

    Just because you dont have alignments doesnt mean there are no concepts of good and evil, just that it is impossible to pin a person down to a single ideal like that. The best suggestion I could make regarding this would be to simply expand the way Bane works so that it incorporates groups or...

    Civil Defense!

    Where I live now in Florida, they never do any of that. I guess a hurricane gives you enough warning since they arent too difficult to spot. Interesitngly enough the city is literally covered in nuclear fallout shelters as a relic from the cuban missle crisis and cold war. When I lived in Ohio...

    Signs... A good d20 Modern adventure?

    I definatly agree. Take the blare witch for example. You never saw any part of her in the entire movie, yet (in my opinion) the original movie was very scary. I actually kinda didnt like the ending of Signs for that very reason, in that it really took the mystery away from the aliens by making...

    Old revisions thread (ignore)

    I noticed in the new Dungeon magazine that rogues and assassins get Hide in Plain Sight. Though it didnt say which level, it was built in to the character block.

    Hide in Plain Sight and Darkvision

    There is no mention of dark vision defeating HiPS. Would kind of make hiding in shadows in general worthless. Since it doesnt say under darkvision in the DMG that they can, and it doesnt under the HiPS ability, I would not infer that you can. Could open a dangerous can of worms :)

    One shot, one kill?

    I agree it's not that big of a deal. You also have to deal with the fact that if that one arrow misses, your entire round is wasted, instead of just missing one of 5.

    One shot, one kill?

    I could be completley insane, but I though I read that in 3.5e they were changing it so that you use the bow enchantment for the attack roll, and arrow enchantment for damage. If so then that solves that problem, but I am not certain about that change... I could also still be insane even if im...

    One shot, one kill?

    All I can think of that would be sort of within the rules, is you might want to use the feat "manyshot" but just describe it differently. Basicly you would be taking a -8 to attack, but doing 4x damage, while only applying things like sneak attack, or weapon specialization and PBshot once. It...

    Dragon #308 previews new ranger and barbarian!

    While I really like the new Ranger, I also feel it may be overpowered. If you break it down, at level 11 a fighter gets 10 feats, at 11th level a Ranger gets 9... Yes, they may be slightly more focused, but ontop of those 9 feats they also get 4 more skill points per level, spells, animal...

    [3.5e] Barbed Devil stats

    The tactics was the greatest addition to the MM, I agree. Though I think it might be unnecessary on some monsters like generic Mummies... Round 1: Shamble and Moan Round 2: Hit people Round 3: Go To 2 The Pit Fiend tactics were great, and I hope they keep their promise that the tactics wont...
