    Comments and questions on 3.5 from a Newbie

    Armour check penalty will be -8 IIRC, -6 Full Plate -2 Large Steel Shield, unless masterwork items in which case penalties are reduced by 1 on each. What skills are you going to give (total skill points are 16 if I've calculated correctly 1st level human 4 + (2+1 (for int) x4) - 16.)

    Do your PCs ever completely outclass the enemy?

    Sometimes, but often outclassed opponents will try and get away fast if they realise they're going to end up as kibble. If there are 6 characters are in full armour riding warhorses then they're not so likely to get ambushed by three 1st level bandits.

    Comments and questions on 3.5 from a Newbie

    Just going to say I am really enjoying this thread and it does make me think a lot about the rules and how we use them. My experience was a bit different, but I did come to 3.0 as something of a newcomer almost (I hadn't played D&D for something like 15 years, which is why I'm not sure I...

    What game mechanics etc. do you, the DM, forbid?

    Fairly few restrictions, except no classes or races from outside Core + Setting stuff without prior approval (in my Wilderlands campaign, plenty of human subraces to choose from and most non LA races can be allowed - I don't like LA races when I prefer to start from 1st level).

    Are gold coins universal?

    Usually I have worked on the basis of a gold is a gold, but I keep meaning to bring in different realms coinages for the different city states in the Wilderlands and when (if ever) I run my homebrew it will have different coin systems with different states and exchange rates.

    Which character archetypes are under-represented?

    None - after all isn't it always claimed that the feats and skills allow characters in 3.5 to be customised. ;) I don't feel any gaping holes, but a good Illusionist class would always be welcome to me.

    Dragonmeet in London - are you going?

    I was there too and I met up with DragonLancer, its generally easier to get you guys that are at the trade stands as you have to be in a fixed place. Next year I'll have to try and get a chance to introduce myself to you Zander.

    How many D&D/d20/OGL PDF's have you bought?

    There should have been a zero option - so far I've had plenty of pdfs for free, but not paid for many. There are advantages to writing reviews and I've found that being able to get at least some of what you want as pdfs for free is a big part of it.

    What are the "best" Dungeon adventures

    I haven't run or played many Dungeon adventures, but I liked Evil Unearthed from #83 IIRC (first 3e issue).

    Dm quit, should I take over?

    Well I'm just going to add to the chorus of mothball the 18th level stuff and start with a new campaign at low level, doesn't have to be 1st if you're experienced and have good rules knowledge, but I would keep to low (max of 3rd/4th).

    What happens when a character sheet is missing?

    In the game I gm I keep all the character sheets at the end of the session, in the game I play we have to email copies/post them onto campaign site regularly.

    What do you use for a character sheet?

    I use one of the Mad Irishman's ones - 'the ultimate character sheet' which fits everything onto two sides of paper.

    Opinions on gmail?

    Not sci-fi, but fact and I for one welcome our new google overlords! :) The reason that I don't use google search while signed in to gmail is to try and reduce how much information they hold about me and what I look for.
