    Older Minion LF Younger Adventurer

    Personally, I think "minion" is a relative term. If you want to use a specific minion -- like Vampire Spawn -- against something outside of their normal level range, then they really aren't a minion any more. At that point, crack open the DMG, pick numbers appropriate to the level of the party...

    Lazybones's Keep on the Shadowfell/Thunderspire Labyrinth

    *sniff* *sniff* Is that a Halfling Warlord I smell? With perhaps a roguish companion... I've been saying since I got the PHB that halflings would make pretty good Warlords. :) And no gimped wizards? LB... I'll believe it when I see it. ;)

    Fluff me this: female tiefling + fey pact warlock!

    She was born a part of the lost royal line of the ancient Tiefling Empire. Her parents, proud of their heritage, pushed her to train in the ways of the Warlock, preparing her for her 'royal duty'. This despite the fact that they live in poverty, sure in their paranoia that their enemies are...

    The Doomed Bastards SH: Reader Input Poll (decide how the story ends)

    Dar. Allera may have the charisma and the wisdom, but Dar has more force of personality than any other three characters in this story hour (not counting the departed Varo of course...) I'm all for blowing the thing away. Of course, I'm also hoping for a 'happily ever after' for the healer and...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    The part that worries me is that the Antimagic Field should come back in 60 seconds. And lich paralysis is (Su). So hopefully the lich is a lot smarter than I am and has already thought of that one... :) Maybe Ozmad would have to re-cast the field, which he can't do while paralyzed?

    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    I would really recommend either: A) Not doing this. B) Making the CLW a daily power that uses a player's item activation uses as usual. Maybe I'm crazy here, but aren't there still potions that heal 10 HP in the PHB? Why can't you just hand out several potions if you're worried about his...

    Who else is watchinng Venture Brothers season 3?

    I've got the TiVo set up to catch them all. The only one so far has been the Monarch's 'trial' right? I loved the episode, but I got into Venture Brothers late (middle of season two) so I still occasionally get older episodes mixed into the current seasons. :)

    Lazybones's Keep on the Shadowfell/Thunderspire Labyrinth

    Oh, it started long before that. Clear back in "Travels" as a matter of fact... Still, having played through KotS, I'm looking forward to seeing this one through. Especially some of the nastier combats... :)

    Wulf Ratbane's DARK HERESY

    Any chance of more updates, Wulf? Dark Heresy is a great system and your crew is off to a really fun start... I was hoping to see more.

    D&D @ High Levels = No Problem?

    My issue with high-level game play is the time involved. A single, relatively short combat can take a great deal of real-time to resolve. It doesn't help that several of my players love highly complex, highly tactical characters and are always looking for EXACTLY the right spell, grapple, full...

    D&D, Dating, and Dr. Midnight (Thread #2)

    Wow. For thread necromancy of this magnitude, did you need a virgin sacrifice or just some blood rites? :)

    Need funny cake idea for gamer's wedding anniversary

    A blue circle, an orange circle, and a red scrawl underneath that says "The cake is a lie". Failing that, I think a giant d20 cake with a '1' showing would be quite cool.

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    What, no Holy? ;) Just commenting on the continuation of the story, LB -- really enjoyed our side trek with the villains, but it's *great* to see us getting back to Dar and Allera. Of course, I'm still waiting to see Varo resurface... :)

    Forbidden Kingdom-What Do You Think?

    While it may be both -- he *has* taken a lot of shots to the head over the years, after all -- I don't think that's the case. I work with a lot of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean engineers. The sense of humor between the different groups is very different. After an engineer has been here for a...

    OotS #548 is up

    I'm really not sure that Lord Kubota and the Linear Guild should be on that list. Lord Kubota especially -- he's out to destroy Hinjo and take over as ruler. I really don't think he has any designs on the Snarl or it's gates. He's definitely a 'side' in the general sense of being against...

    Battlestar Galactica-Final Season (4) 4/4/08--He That Believeth In Me

    I'll leave the speculation, the drama, and the episode description to everyone else. I just wanted to say: $&#* yeah, Battlestar is BACK! That episode rocked. (And I loved Tigh's scene on the bridge, even though I *knew* from the moment it started that it was some kind of hallucination.)...

    Fast moving melee character build

    The Pounce ability specifically calls out the full attack at the end of a charge. You can't Spring Attack on a charge, since the feat specifically calls out "using the attack action". A charge is it's own, unique action.

    Spells ruling: Shatter

    A crystalline creature is not a magical object, regardless of whether or not you allow Shatter to work on items currently under Magic Weapon. And since Shatter specifically calls out dealing damage to crystalline creatures, I'd call that a slam-dunk. I'm guessing you were joking anyway. :)

    Best Bluff of the Campaign (So Far)

    The best bluff I have ever seen... We were wanted by some corrupt officials in a town. They were offering a bounty significant enough that our 15th-level characters took note. It should be noted that the corrupt officials had previously tried to kill us -- and we had killed a bunch of the...

    When you want to strangle a player

    The main reason I wanted to post was just to express my condolences about the situation. It sounds like a really good game -- one that I would enjoy playing in. And to have him causing so much havoc because he's unhappy... ouch. Doubly bad because of your friendship being jeopardized...
