    A rogue, a bard, a monk, and a ranger walk into a bar...

    Just have the Ranger take Handle Animal and the party pick up 2 or 3 guard dogs. They go along way for the first couple of levels as far as melee power goes. A hunting/archer type Ranger should love to have his pack of hounds.

    Bull Rush Questions

    Just because I know I will be asked, where in the RAW is that spelled out?

    Bull Rush Questions

    I searched this forum and found a few threads but none of them seemed to have an answer about what happens in the following situations: 1) Can you Bull Rush an opponent into an occupied square? If so what happens? 2) Can you Bull Rush an opponent into a square containing an object (Wall...

    Best 6th-level wizard spells?

    I would second the suggestion for Imbue Familiar. It makes all those casters who gave up their familiars very sad:) Keep the lil guy safe for 11 levels then watch out. Very versatile in the load outs you can give them, defense/offense/utility etc. Add in quicken for you self and you can end...

    When did gnomes fall from grace?

    This is why Gnomes were excluded from the early playtest builds of 3e. My guess is there arose sufficient fervor/gnome-love to force them back in. As I remember it though, the re-introduction was fairly late in the 3e beta cycle.

    Hound Archons

    Not to Hi-Jack but that does bring up the point that there are no age charts for any monster type that I am aware of.

    We're Going To Do Return to the Tomb of Horrors and One Player has Freaked Out!

    The point being that more then half the characters will not accept a res and therefor death is not a light thing, it is permanent.

    We're Going To Do Return to the Tomb of Horrors and One Player has Freaked Out!

    First off I have played and DMed both multiple times. They are brutal and Return is by far the worst of the two, as a PC in a low resurrection campaign I would not go unless there was an overwhelming in game reason. It would have to be something more than " because it is there". It would have...

    MMORPGs death of RPG

    Well I guess I will be the first to admit that WoW has induced about a 3 month hiatus in my current campaign. We still all play together online and are in the same guild. Plus with the advent of laptops and wireless broadband we will often gather a few of us under one roof the play WoW. I...

    Sin City

    It was everything the comics were when I first saw them. I give it a 9. If you go in expecting anything but Miller's exxagerated version of pulp/noir then you will be disappointed, but then again if thats the case the movie was not made for you. I also respect Rodriguez for dropping out of the...

    D&D 4E OT: Shadowrun 4E announced

    I have played all 3 editions although I was disappointed with many of the changes or lack there of in some cases of the 3rd edition. This has led to me putting the game down for a number of years. 4E has renewed my interest. I have a wait and see attitude about the whole decker thing. They...

    Why Startrek is Dead (Opinion Thread)

    I was one of the few in our house that appreciated the different type of opening for ENT. If the show had dared to be as refreshing it might have worked. I agree that Berman and Bragga need to be replaced ASAP. As a sidenote- I can't believe I am hearing the new BSG referred to as "good"...

    What class can you not bring yourself to play?

    I would say my rarest two played are bards and rangers. Everything else is fair game.

    What race can you not bring yourself to play?

    I have played all of the standards at one time or another. As far as not often I don't play Elves (incl. the 1/2 variety). I find that I have trouble achieving the perspective of a race that longed lived and why they would be involved in most adventuring situations. Oh and rarely halflings...

    How (Often) Do You Use Modules? Revised!

    I find modules and Dungeon to be quite useful. I may modify somewhat but I also enjoy running the big bads like Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil etc pretty much straight up. I think one of the recent issues of KoDT hit it on the head when they talked about "shared experiences" and how...

    Gonna play a scout. I can hear the other players whining already...

    I think they should probably have disable device, however I also think it already steps all over the rogue. I am hard pressed to see how it is just not outright better, esp. with a feat or PRC added in.

    You're a 3.5 Enchanter. What are your opposed schools?

    It depends if you are the only arcane caster. If you are the solo then I agree with Illusion and Evocation(it has been usurped by Conj. anyway..grumblegrumble). If you are not then I would choose illusion and necromancy and let someone else handle the astral at high level.
