    Ability damage/drain and enhancement

    Yes, thanks! Anyway, what do you think about inherent bonuses, I mean, it is kind of permanent... and behaves a lot different than any other magical boost, would Wish be maed into ability drain or the character would drop even though he ahs a +6 inherent bonus?

    Ability damage/drain and enhancement

    I would follow the same idea of Cheiromancer, if the ability bonus is ever reduced to zero any enhancement bonus would not apply, that way only inherent bonuses would be kept and possibly damaged, else a wish will prevent any character from ever being killed by Con loss...

    What's the longest running "inside joke" at your table?

    Orcs-ni Not exactly on my group, but by then they all were. When 3rd Edition came out I converted and started DMing an adventure I had made, in it th orcs were a lawful evil tribe with two powerful leaders, a fighter and a cleric, the cleric wanted nothing but to dispose of the ther one, but...

    [Midnight] Going to run Crown of Shadow. Any advice, story hours, etc?

    Since I do not lurk much here that is no big deal too, although I have been an user for quite sometime before that... with a lot fewer posts too. In AtS.org, though, I have beaten a good limit and made 1872 (my last post) since 22nd of Sep, 2003. I am not a Crothian but I do have around 13...

    [Midnight] Going to run Crown of Shadow. Any advice, story hours, etc?

    Or I may drop by here and point them directly to you... ;) Check the following threads for great thoughts and additions to CoS, although there are surely more of them on the past threads, try making some searches on the boards, I used CoS and chapter for finding these, try Crown of Shadow twho...

    Master Monster List

    jgbrowning, As always, the XRP is making good things for good gamers... I hate how I have to read a thousand monsters to find one that fits the place my game is taking place, specially when you search one for the cold environment, the books I own are very very poor on it or have just high CR...

    What's a template?

    CR is a relative measure of the monster power, a CR 4 creature is meant to be a challenge for a 4th level party with 4 characters, note that this challenge is so that it would mean 25% of the resources of the party are spent in the battle. SRD stands for System Reference Document, the 3rd...

    Help a returning DM pick a setting

    Also, there is Dawnforge, by the same Fantasy Flight Games, I don't own the book from what I have read here and there it is a World in the Golden Age, heroic deeds and great events are yet to happen, if driws are going to become what we think of them or not, for example, is something yet to be...

    Help a returning DM pick a setting

    That is indeed a concern, although for someone who played previous editions that is no big deal, there were no CRs back then and I still sue the same method of dedtermining the opponents for my groups, check the monster and compare it to the party. You give very wise and good advice anyway, in...

    Help a returning DM pick a setting

    This is getting to the same but I join Derul and Calico with Midnight, for me it is all about being heroes when no one else can and fighting even when you don't think you can win... that said the rules change are magic system, core classes mantained are fighter rogue and barbarian only and...

    ENworld periodically slows to a crawl?

    I hope it really works out well, the only problem will be to identify what thread has a new post. Ok, checked the subscription in my account and there we can see what threads have new posts so I can see it is no big deal.

    Quick Draw and Threat Area...

    I am not sure but if it is not that way i would say that you have to attack with the weapon you are using to threaten. But since unarmeed strike does not mean punch, you could hold a weapon in both hands and still attack nearby...

    [Immortal's Handbook] CR, EL, and other Excel spreadsheets

    Oh I know, still experimental, embrionary state. I was just saying what I think would benefit it the most, the OGL should be there too, of course. Anyway, I got dizzy with all those calculations and formulas... guess that was the reason I left engineering for law study...

    So. 3E/3.5E, is it still D&D to you?

    The many incarnatiosn D&D had since this day have been all quite different, D&D 3.X is not an exeption. That given I still feel like each incarnation is a whole different game, they all are D&D to me, for D&D is something more than merely a ruleset, you could play a fighter in each incanation...

    [Immortal's Handbook] CR, EL, and other Excel spreadsheets

    Well, given that I am not matematician and that my knowledge of excel is a crap, i think that following the table would be a better choice, if it is intended to follow the same linesof the book. Also, I think that the excel calculator looks amazingly good, the fnal version could have a first...

    Gary Gygax health update

    Hye, get better, we still need old school to teach these newbies how a real RPG is done, not to say that we still haven't seen our share of the great and mighty E Gary Gigax yet! All the best wishes! Cheers, Nif.

    What are warning points.

    Hey, can anyone else see a market being born here? One might show up and say that he wants this that and that book of his wish list to actually make himself banned... now imagine what one would do if the one that was offering was a well known guy, like hong, piratecat or crothian!!! :uhoh:

    Is the boarder part of the square?

    allenw, Hey! Great explanation, I have yet to read that page, as I am currently reading the PHB and am using a hybrid of the 3.X versions. So it was intentional after all... thanks for the info, mind you! :D
