    Help keeping my PCs alive!

    I did it to a party once for being foolish in dealing with an overwhelming villian- and they hated the villians so badly they abandoned their current adventure to go after them. It also taught them not to keep all their eggs in one basket. They began to leave extra supplies/weapons with trusted...

    Yeah, that is pretty good. I think Billy Zane would also be ok with the right director/script- he does not carry a role off well with a bad one of either. SD

    Can gazing creatures turn "off"?

    Yeah, the same thing struck me. I guess it makes sense- since the medusa is supposed to be a tragic figure, but I am going to just rule 0 that all the monsters have control of their gaze attacks. SD

    Help keeping my PCs alive!

    You already have your answer- the fight club! They are made to fight if they want their freedom- of course, the guild has no intention of letting them out alive... so they will need to do their best to escape during the session. Another idea is they take all their stuff, brand their faces-...

    How do I make it really "low-magic"?

    Salutations, Have you checked out the previews of FFG's Midnight? It looks to be low magic- and it may contain a way for you to run the game the way you want. SD

    DMs who want to stop Archers without being too mean.

    Six of one. Half a dozen of the other. I would consider it the same result. If you want to deal with any party effectively, then have the villians be intelligent. Have them gather info on their targets, and use wise tactics against them. It is kind of hard to shoot arrows when...

    What the **** is WotC thinking?

    My only complaint is it is one more low level combat feat... great. :rolleyes: SD

    XP costs - use them or lose them?

    I will do so when I get home this evening. SD

    So they went and butchered the 3.5 ranger...

    The concept does not bother me at all- it makes sense to have abilities tied to the situation. Of course, I have not allowed the ranger class in along time. I don't plan to do so in the future. SD

    XP costs - use them or lose them?

    Re: Re: Re: XP costs - use them or lose them? Odd- I thought the party benefited from the fighter being able to fight better. SD

    [Feb] What did you watch on DVD/VHS/theaters this month

    hmm- You are the first person I have seen say they liked the movie. I thought it was pretty bad. SD

    XP costs - use them or lose them?

    Love. Items are crafted on the power of love. Ok, a serious answer- iirc, the BoVD had an option of using souls to make magic items. That was a neat idea for a dark campeign. SD

    XP costs - use them or lose them?

    I have been doing it for sometime and it works great. The players appreciate being able to make a character that can make items for the group, but still have feats to be useful outside of item creation. My players tend to be magic-phobic- so it was a push that got them to try spellcasters. As...

    XP costs - use them or lose them?

    Perhaps you could offer some sources of bonus xp like I layed out above. Another option is there are just too many item creation feats- and most are redundant. If I can enchant a necklase, then why not a ring? So- I have the following creation feats: scribe scroll brew potion Craft Minor Item...

    PCs Conquer the World?

    The closest I ever had was a pc who became Overlord of a crystal sphere, but he was just a figure head for a council. He really held no power- just was well loved/feared. As a dm- I don't think I ever had a player try. *ponder* SD

    Would you like WotC or a d20 company to publish 3e conversions of classic modules?

    But players don't buy adventures. ;) I am sure there is a market, but considering the tight schedule of many publishers- I would rather their creativity be used to create- not upgrade another person's creation. SD

    I think you are being a snot, but I would be more open to Leo then Cage. I have trouble seeing Cage pulling off the regal aspect of Namor. Of course, I have trouble seeing any of the movie work. Namor is such a part of the Marvel universe- that taking him out of it diminishes him. SD

    Using a A Magical Medieval Society with non D20 games

    Salutations, I am glad to hear it. I have been saying a big hole in d20 is the lack of economic/government tools for the dm. I will be buying this product this weekend. Thanks. SD

    XP costs - use them or lose them?

    Well, I consider it investing xp. Not losing it. I balance it out and offer an incentive by giving xp for backgrounds and sessions summaries. SD
