Let me put it this way: Let me put this other way: How many creatures seeking ultimate dominion over the multiverse are sorcerers, and how many are wizards? Yeah, sorcerers get the girls; wizards get the world. Mwahahaha Cheers, Al'Kelhar

The Devil always makes sense... to him/her/itself.

If you think Str is a dump stat and Dex is a "God" stat in D&D, don't ever play the horrific monstrosity that is d20 Star Wars... No, I don't perceive Str as a dump stat in D&D. The game mechanics don't tempt most PCs to dump it, and I have not seen it dumped in actual play. Int, OTOH, really...

Only four classes have ever been necessary: cleric, fighting man, magic-user and thief. Then they added elf and halfling, and things have been going downhill ever since. Cheers, Al-grognard-kelhar

[Sorry, "me too" post...] I'd also like people's thoughts and suggestions on any changes to Tomb of Annihilation for higher-level PCs. I intend on using elements of it in my modified Savage Tide campaign, but on current plans, it sits in a part of the campaign when the PCs will be around...

The question just does not make sense... Al'Kelhar (gamer of 30+ years and dice addict)

How does this compare against the current combo of Bard 6+/Life Cleric 1+ with Aura of Vitality?

After reading the first 10 pages to get the gist of this conversation, I apologise if the following's been said somewhere else in the last 136 pages... The attractiveness of rolling vs. point buy (or standard array) for PCs stats is always going to be a personal choice for any gamer and gaming...

Kuo Toa, according to D&D lore, are congenitally insane. I have used them largely as minions of greater Cthuhlu-esque masters, such as kraken and aboleths. I haven't seen much merit in kuo-toa as creatures with which PCs can interact on a basis other than "invade the submerged lair of the mad...

Amen to that, brother. Said many times over the past 87 pages. The Elephant in the Room is nothing more than a Windmill-Giant. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

"Why does WotC put obviously bad or illogical elements in their adventures? " How long have you been playing D&D, exactly?:) (Edit: I think Dannyalcatraz said it all on p2).

I think The Order of the Stick had it right. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

IIRC, the actors in the musical had all of their hair on display. The question is, given that they're completely hairless, do the slug-men even know exactly where on their bodies they should graft this marvellous magical hair? Cheers, Al'Kelhar

Yes, it is. I agree completely. But as well as AC being both arbitrary and an abstraction, we have to realise that is a foundation concept for the mechanics of D&D on which rest a lot of other arbitrary, abstract mechanical concepts - like using various abilities to adjust attack rolls and...

[Smacks palm against forehead. Again]. Guys, guys, you do know that AC in D&D has NEVER represented how hard it is to HIT something; it has ALWAYs represented how hard it is to HURT something. That's why every hit causes at least 1 point of damage (barring actual immunity to that kind of...

Bring back the Random Harlot Table for AD&D (5th edition). Cheers, Al'Kelhar

Why not The Blue Rajah? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DJWMVR_yfM Cheers, Al'Kelhar

Since "Major" and "Sergeant" are both perfectly common and reasonable surnames in English, there were, of course, both a Major Major and a Sergeant Sergeant in the town guard in one of my campaigns way, way back. (Yes, I nicked "Major Major" from Catch 22, although IIRC the character was...
