Heh, actually the only time I've ever done this is making higher starting-level characters for a real campaign, and then, I really didn't min-max him that much (plus he was only 5th level).

Thanks! I'll give that a shot, when I find time. :) It seems I have 50 things I want to do at once these days. Plus my home computer is *really* frustrating. And it sucks. :p

Yes, I'll make the 10th-level fighter then. As far as creating items, yeah, I guess you can make items as per the DMG, but you have to pay full price for them, obviously (not half, as though a wizard made them for you). And make sure to list out the prices paid for each item, because that...

Well, I'm almost 100% convinced it's impossible unless you have a very special driver (which someone obviously had to write), because the sound files are very unique, and there's really no way to run them (aka 'hear' them as-is) without the driver. Short of that, you'd probably have to...

Well, here's a proposition (and if no one takes it up I will do so myself when I get home): make a 32 point-buy monk (any race) at 10th level (or 12th or some other fairly arbitrary but high level) and equip him from the DMG with the amount of starting cash available to that level-character...

While we are on the subject, I have tried to figure out a way to get the Baldur's Gate (I and II) music into some other file format, in other words to extract just the music (even with the background voices in it as well) so I could burn it to a CD perhaps. Is this even possible? If so, is it...

Ah, yes. Stupid me. I'm pretty dang convinced the the monk does suck at this point, and I'm convinced that they probably are worse than bards, at least rules-wise. I guess most likely the vast majority of gamers probably want them to suck a little, myself included. The idea of an unarmed...

How does he get an extra +2 with a crossbow? Don't halflings only get that bonus with thrown weapons?

Gilbert Godfrey... not an annoying dork? Hmm.... Wasn't that his whole schtick? I don't know of any other "comic" (I use the term loosely here to imply annoying dorks) who is actually a reject of the now-nearly-surely-let's-hope-to-God-defunct show Hollywood Squares. :D

Are you trying to tell me you've NEVER HEARD OF GILBERT GODFREY???

I agree with Ridley's Cohort. Not Ridley, mind you, just his cohort. :D Also, when making point-buy example characters, I suggest making them with 32 point-buy, since polls on this site have shown that the vast majority of groups use that character creation system, and an even greater number...

Monte, your list was nigh impeccable, I must admit. Kudos for having Dead Can Dance on there! I bought their CD after hearing about it on these boards, and I love it! If you are into more hard rock, I highly recommend Rush (their older stuff). I can't think of a better rock band for D&D...

Welcome to the EN boards, Katerek. I think this is the best place to be online. It's the only place I frequent, for the most part. the Wizards boards have too many members, you can never keep everyone straight, and rpg.net, well... let me just say I think I know where your...

Re: Other Famous Gamers First, you know BARE NAKED LADIES who play D&D? Wow, sign me up, man! Second, if the lead singer of Tool plays/has played D&D, then (a) it confirms all my admiration of the man and his band, and (b) it confirms my admiration for the game and all it's players. Third...

That's why I think all my suggestions work, and I don't think (m)any changes other than that are needed. I propose giving the ranger more power (in places he already has it, no less) at later levels, giving people a reason to continue playing as one, without changing the rules for those who...

Exactly. I'd go 1 level as a paladin, then the rest as a cleric. That way, every stat comes in handy. You'll need the high wisdom, the charisma will boost your saves and give you mega powers (in addition to undead turning, check out the Divine Might feat from Defenders of the Faith), your...

Are you kidding? Next time you see a 1-800-CALL-ATT commercial (with the fat black -possible lesbian- chick from Howerd Stern doing the voice over at the end, BTW), look at CT's arms. I gotta be honest, he actually looks kinda strong to me. Not weak anyway!

my changes for D&D 3.1 (not 4.0) 1.) All races have Favored Class: Any 2.) Half-Elves do not suffer a 20% XP penalty for multi-classing, ever. Thus they may take any amount of classes, to any level allowed by that class (class restrictions for multi-classing still apply). 3.) Rangers may...

Re: Re: Vin Disel panders to the DND. :) Those people are idiots. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. :p

Two things: 1.) It's true, if Vin has been a D&D player since he was 12, why is he suddenly now spending $800 on D&D stuff? 2.) If he is making a Conan sequel (which I for one will be excited about), then why would he need to specifically "pander" to D&D gamers?
