Well, we have another pet peeve thread, so I figured we might as well have a thread where everyone says what they like about third edition/3.5. Ya' know, just keeping it positive... My likes? The ability system makes small differences in scores mean something. More customization through...

Wow, just reread the initial post, and realized my post was way off what the poster was looking for. Ooops. In most of the games I've played, I try to keep a balance of role-playing and out of character chatter, but it doesn't always work. I personally play D&D to see how the plot comes out...

In my experience, trying to change the way a player plays the game is just a prelude to frustation on both sides. This very well may be the only way he likes playing. I think it is more productive to say "Is this a player I want in my group?" For example, several people in my "clique" play...

Monte Cook has some ideas also on his website. http://www.montecook.com/arch_stuff64.html Basically, a magic item that adds one spell to the caster's spell list, but it has to be cast as a spell one level higher. The formula is a bit cheaper, at spell level ^2 times 100gp.

IMC, the "language" of magic depends on the caster's training. Elven bards might recite ancient poetry in elven, human sorcerers might call upon their elemental lords for assistance in the appropriate elemental tongue, and dwarven clerics intone ancient runes passed down from generation to...

I don't think it's so much giving the spell something extra, as it is reiterating the fact that undead are evil by nature, much like evil outsiders. After all Detect Good detects paladins, Detect Law finds monks and paladins, they just decided to note it specifically in the spell description...

You're forgetting one important thing. The multi-classed wizard is casting his spells with a caster level of 5, but he still has access only to first level spells. The wizard 5 has fireball, invisibility, hold person, etc. Caster Level only applies to spell duration, damage, etc. Wizard...

I've been having problems getting in a game lately, so I'd probably be down. I'll second the tip about Jester's Attic. The owner's a pretty cool guy, and he has a board just for game anouncements.

I voted #1 for two reasons. 1. I'm the standard puritanical American, and I believe nudity should be regulated... :D 2. For similar reasons stated above, I think we should consider not just our own views on nudity, but the people we're around as well. I don't wanna have to hide my books when...

Come on guys, don't let this die that early...

Cool idea. You know, this talk of the possesor sharing memories gave me an idea. What if the half-dragon gift isn't just a gift, but the shattered "souls" of full dragons that have "passed on"? Interesting way to keep players from having to fake not knowing what's going on. Next character...

I sent that email off for ya'. It's just over half a meg, so it may take a bit to download.

Eh? Then what about bards? :p In all honesty, I don't think I would have a problem with an arcane caster casting healing spells. I would probably allow either WoT healing, or a previous poster's idea of days of rest/per level. Either way, I'd say it's not a conjuration spell, as it wouldn't...

It was in Dragon annual #4 or 5, I believe. It was also on the cd that they gave out in dragon and dungeon. If you like, I can probably dig out the cd, and email you the pdf.

So, I got this itch to create a new campaign setting. I'm not gonna be running a game for a while, but I'd like to have something set up when I do. Here are some guidelines for what I'm looking for. 1. It has to allow pretty much any race/class/etc. that's out there, so it has to be mostly...

Hmmph. I wouldn't claim it as coddling to not have to deal with something that, for some, just doesn't add to the game. If I was the deep, immersive roleplayer type, playing a minority in a game that has racism as a major theme might appeal to me. But I'm not. I want to kick in the door...

Not sure I follow you here... With ya so far... Gotcha here... And here I'm utterly lost. Can you restate that another way? Also, any takers on the burrowing question?

Second that.

Eh, they also get an extra spell per day per spell level. So, one more spell of each level per day (including domain spells), spells known as a sorcerer plus domain lists.

Simple question... What is my speed in medium armor if I have a base speed of 50? How about 70? Also, the mineral warrior template gives a burrowing move rate equal to half your fastest movement. How does this work with speed of thought and/or barbarian fast movement? 30 ft * 1/2 then add...
