    Another TPK - Sigh.

    Same in my experience over the years. I've got players that will grant mercy and take prisoners. One character, has over 100 people that has rescued from evil humaniod tribes or what ever in her grove as she is helping to get them back on thier feet and reform those that have evil alignments...

    Getting Around in a Campaign

    Travelling IMC has been just about everything. Walking, riding, flying, wind walk, teleport, Ship, Tree stride, Transport via plants, Master earth, gates, portals, plane shift, astral ships...I guess the only thing I we haven't used is Shadow walk so far. RD

    Summoning Party Members

    I toyed with this sort of thing in 2E. The PC's were doing thier thing, traveling between citys when one of the fighters just disappeared. They were like 5th level single class characters at the time. The party went into paraniod searching trying to find the missing fighter. Meanwhile the...

    HOMEBREW DMs: How much of your campaign design is Reactive? Proactive?

    I went with 30% proactive / 70% reactive. Over the last 4+ years of the campaign, I have planned major events (story only not hard set details), and major NPCs, but everything else tends to be winged as I weave the story together as the players question or become involved in things. Besides...

    What level should a campaign end at?

    I believe a campaign should end when it feels like it should end. :D Having said that, I think it should more be determined by the players, DM and overall story. If the players don't buy into the game or story, then it will not last very long. If the DM loses interest, the campaign will die...

    WotC Map-A-Week: GONE!

    I guess they want to be able to do a map folio in which people will buy because it will have maps they can't get any other way. :D RD

    Am I the only 3.0 grognard left?

    Count me as another that sticks to 3.0E, however, more like 3.25 counting all the house rule tweaks to classes and stuff. I much prefer clerics being different depending on deity more than the domains give them. I customize Rangers and Paladins as well depending on the deity they follow...

    my new rules for combat: Parrying rules

    Understand the -4 AC only applies against the attack that's parried. However; so what, if your parry fails they hit you anyway. The series of feats are as I said above, training to do what you are already assumed to be doing, only your better at it. RD

    my new rules for combat: Parrying rules

    Well since I said Never was it an indication that I had trouble with the mess that was AD&D 1e and 2e rules. I personally had no trouble with them or the house rules I used to straighten them out to suit my needs or campaign at the time. However, The groups of players I have had during that...

    my new rules for combat: Parrying rules

    Actually I tend to agree with the idea of feats being an indicator of better training of something you already know something about. That is why you have Dodge, Weapon Focus and Specialization, Improved Trip, Sunder, etc... Since the combat round of D&D 3.X and even AD&D and before is a little...

    my new rules for combat: Parrying rules

    Improved Combat Reflexes doesn't give you the ability to use more than one AOO per target, it gives you unlimited number of AOO to use. The feat Expert Parry from Dragon #301 gives you the ability to parry any number of attacks from any number of opponents taking one AOO per parry to do so up...

    my new rules for combat: Parrying rules

    Actually the rule was made for those that took the Improved Combat Reflexes...a group decision after seeing what it could do in game when none of thier melee fighters could touch a BBEG (40th level Night Hag/Wizard/Rogue/Mind Bender using +6 Bladed Guantlets). Average party level was 33rd with...

    my new rules for combat: Parrying rules

    Actually they did a whole write up in Dragon #301 detailing a feat chain for parry. This was in the one about Swashbucklers, I've been using these feats for a while IMC and it does add a level of complexity to the game since more rolls are required. Also you have to do some tweaking on...

    Does your spouse/significant other game with you?

    I'm in the introduced the wife to gaming crowd. Although she already knew of the game due to her older brother years ago who played and had an awesome mini collection (in a glass shelf lighted bookcase) she had never played before. After we started dating and just before 3E came out I started a...

    WP/VP more dangerous or less?

    I've read over the rules for WP/VP and everything everyone is saying is what I concluded about them. IMC characters would be dropping like flys using them as written. Some of the changes I thought about to make it deadly but less of the one crit kill would be: 1: Leave the critical threat...

    [RPG] bank messed up

    Yeap...bank is all messed up... I went to check it today after collecting the salary and killing the vicious pink rabbit and what do I find? The same total in the bank as yesterday with 2 days 23hours and 35 minutes and 35 seconds to go to collect my interest of 17gp. RD

    A new feat - Improving Ally

    I've already allowed this kind of thing IMC, however, it takes 1 feat per class that you want to stack into your companion/familier/mount. So that a Wizard/Fighter/Arcane Archer would need 2 feats in order to boost his familiar equal to his character level. Add another class and it doesn't...

    Tricking the Willing...

    In the case you state, the character would get a save because they are traveling though an area that they know "might" hold danger of some form. Place a trap in their home in a highly traveled area and they are not expecting danger. Saves represent the awareness of the character (Ref)...

    [RPG] bank messed up

    Maybe I should check my bank a little closer tomorrow. I should be getting 17gp interest....have 349gp in the bank. I'll let everyone know tomorrow if the bank works or not. Very stange, hope it has been working as I would be without a whole lot of gold. No wonder I can't afford better stuff...
