I Hate to say this folks... I was just at my local gaming store, and I am seriously not trying to sound negative here, but I looked through this book for about 5 or 10 seconds before putting it back on the shelf. It's a total waste of $30 to almost any D&D player or DM. Instead I bought the...

Re: Finally Here is one thing I have seen repeatedly that I do not come close to understanding. If the 3rd party d20 publishers start raising prices on their products, I for one will completely quit buying them, and I know that I'm not alone on this decision. I have plenty of money to spend...

You know, Josh, although I've found everything on this thread to be very interesting, I think what you just said has me roused more than anything else, if in part because it's the only thing I have never thought of even once. That is SUCH a good idea! And realistic, because that is how...

Yes! Please! For the love of Corean WHEN will it be out???:)

I just look at the D&D alignment system (the whole x-y axis thing) as being totally redundant. It's like, when I first saw it (about 15 years ago when I started playing) I thought it was a really cool way to capture 'morality,' basing it along 2 axes, law-chaos, and good-evil. Now I just see...

That was hilarious! :D All I've got to say is, "Damn, that better be a joke!"

haste within time stop I look at it this way. Time stop (note the name: time STOP) speeds the caster up infinitely. And that is not an exaggeration! Haste speeds the caster up a tiny little bit compared to infinity. So you are already moving at an INFINITELY FAST PACE with time stop. Let's...

2e broadsword I can tell you the stats for the 2e version of the broadsword. speed factor of 5, (or whatever a longsword was, they were the same); damage vs. small/medium creatures = 2d4; damage versus large/<and up> creatures = 1d6+1. I personally changed the dam. to large creatures to be...

(sorry to keep posting; I'm waiting for a database report to finish running) Even if the clerics are mostly evil and chaotic, and the wizards were good and lawful, or any other combination, it wouldn't affect the scenario, because just as clerics can create Holy weapons, they can as easily make...

Who said the war had to be fought hand-to-hand? Under D&D rules, nothing stops the majority of the fighting to be ranged attacks. That's basically how the British Defeated the more heavily armed cavalry of France in the (I think) 100 years war. If you want to consider a line of bowmen a...

a new proposal Since we might need to set-up a more rational battle-scene, how about this then: The "wizards" team can have fighters, rogues, wizards, and even bards (for some healing)~ in any combination. The "priests" can have paladins, clerics, druids, and monks (but no fighters). 90% of...

Re: Forgive Me! Can you imagine (no pun intended) Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson strolling down the road, singing in harmony: "The dog-gone Ring is mine.... mine, mine..."

ala KotDT I waste it with my crossbow!

One more thing I thought of. If the Mage leaders are sending in strike teams to annihilate civilians (probably the best tactic mentioned), then folks, here's some news: they are evil. And if they are evil, then *Holy weapons* will hurt them. Badly. Look in the DMG at the holy discriptor...

Re: The wizards win a marginal victory. I beg to differ. Have you ever heard of the American Revolution? The British were in "regular formation," the insurgents were skirmishers. You know the results. Furthermore, odds are that the theocracy forces would know about area-effect spells...

All this talk about Mike Tyson having low charisma, high STR, etc. has got me thinking. Mike Tyson probably has pretty high STR, yes. He would also qualify as a VERY high-level character (I'm tempted to say monk, but in a D&D world, he'd be a barbarian, I bet). So let's say he is a level 20...

I will probably buy it if it contains any kind of new rules or *quality* magic items, but if it just has a bunch of stats I'll never use, I doubt I'll buy it. I'm 100% with you in that I think portraying gods as physical, destroyable manifestations (no matter how difficult it may be) is...

I agree with uv23. The 3e game has only been around a couple of years now, and it already feels bogged down with wieghty optional rules. The game is only enjoyable to me when the story, plot and character development are interesting; adding new prestige classes, feats, skills or other rules...
