The year was 1982, 10 years of age, and I was in 6th grade. We all had to prepare class presentations on a topic of our choosing. One guy did D&D (the old basic set). However I was sick that day so I missed it. When I got back to school some friends were talking about it and so I went out and...

I like the environmental books that WOTC have produced. They're not perfect, and I'm sure others could "do better" however they have enough there to spark the imagination and make those climates interesting enough to play in. Even if it is just a showcasing of something from them - Even if it is...

List the poker hands and assign them level adjustments ... they may modify a spell by metamagic (multiple feats if possible) of equivalent level adjustment OR cast the spell at a higher level with the adjustment OR combine the two options. So ... Pair - 0 2 Pairs - +1 Three of a Kind - +2...

The way I designed the first campaign run was just to follow the series, however depending on the characters chosen, they either participated directly (earth force mainly), performed some duties etc that aided in completing the goals of the episode (for example when Garibaldi is "out searching...

Ah but you see ... you can also take the view point that .. 1. you roll 1d4 (the variable) 2. you add 1 to the result of that roll. (the non-variable) Thus you would empower the 1d4 and just add the 1. As I said it matters not, however empowering the 1d4+1 is much easier in gameplay I would...

There is a +1 enhancement called Twighlight that reduces arcane failure by 10%. I think it was in Complete Divine. D

Cool ... I still think that logically that +1 isn't variable but I don't really care that much :) Thank you very much for the help ... now I can try and create the character I was thinking of the other day. D

Thank you ... now I see ... you empower each roll. What was confusing me was the empower feat stating that it only empowers variable factors. So the + 1 from the missile isn't variable IMHO. So I was wonder if it wasn't something like (1d4) x 1.5 + 1 D

I've never used this feat before or even considered using it, so I really do not understand its operation. In the case of a magic missile for example cast by an 8th level Wizard (4 missiles) ... normally it is 4d4+4 ... and empower version would be 4d4 + 6? 4d4 + (1/2 of 4d4 roll) + 6? 4d4 +...

Okay ... so barring erratta, an Apostle of Peace, according to written rules, may use magic items for protection as stated in the PrC. Holy Symbols have been expressly eliminated from the list of allowed items thus by the RAW no Divine Focuses. It is still doable ... healing doesn't require...

True ... I was just trying to think how some of the "newer" rules in Complete X might affect the Vow of Poverty ... for example Divine Metamagic (Persistent Spell) could be "abused". Anyway ... thanks for the help. D

I have the book in front of me right now and I can only find the statement that they cannot have magic items. Chapter 2 has the rules on poverty, the feat description is in chapter 4. The feat description: simple weapons (a quarterstaff is indicated as a good example), simple clothes, food to...

Okay the answers so far seem to be implying things like 10gp that I cannot find written in the Exalted Deeds book. Am I missing something? Or is that more of a house ruling thing? For example what about a Cleric's Holy Symbol? Because the Apostle of Peace requires the Vow of Poverty but they...

The name of the feat implies you need to forgo all possessions and walk around with basically the clothes on your back, however the strict description in the book implies it is only a denial of magical items. Which is it? Okay strictly speaking as a DM I wouldn't let anyone walk around in...

A middle-aged scholarly wizard who is reincarnated as a Satyr and discovers the joys he missed while being a bookworm.

Actually this kind of combined weapon was prevalent during the renaissance. They had gunpowder weapons with a blade, or other weapon connceted to it. You had musket spears/axes, musket crossbows etc. The only thing is that they were generally one-shot weapons since loading times allowed for 1...

The method I used to use was like this: I had a campaign folder/book with a section on items. It was a simple list of a #, name, resource/module it came from, who had it at the time, and a cross if they had ID'd it fully. The players got a card with #, name only (some players would look it up...

I use beer tops. You can buy them at 100 for $1 here in Australia (75c US). I then use a marker pen to write on them like O1 ... OX for Orcs etc. You can also glue stuff to them as well. D

Personally GM-ed RIFTS for a couple of years, but I didn't like the system at all. It was quite haphazzard at best. The setting was interesting, my favourite source books were South America since it had some good bug hunting material in it as well as the Monster Hunter O.C.C. which was played...

Haven't you all figured it out yet? Uwe Boll is a tax deduction. Whenever a company or group of investors wants to burn money off they give him 20 odd million to make something crap. You'll probably find that they have insured their investment to regain their loss with profit or something. D
