Never try to teach a pig to sing. It accomplishes nothing, and IT ANNOYS THE PIG

This is why every wizard should have a gauntlet. So you threaten. Never, ever know what you can avoid by taking an AoO

Exactly! So there's no real reason not to use the captured spell book, providing you are maxing out spell craft you can "hand waive" the need make spell craft checks by taking 10.

I prefer... 1) DMs with a firm grasp of the rules. 2) DMs who know the difference between occasionally presenting challenges that hose the players and DMs with a golf bag full of nerf bats. 3) DMs that can balance an encounter and don't throw the party in over their heads and then fudge roll...

I don't have my book of Vile Darkness in front of me, but there's a presteige class or two in there where the person is a very devout follower of a demon prince or arch devil. Why not have the corrupt noble be one of those, he can have taken Aristocrat levels until he presteiged. Makes for a...

You wouldn't have a link to the article. I'm sure it articulates a point I've been trying to make for a while much better than I've been with a few fellow gamers.

Oh and I just found this, which isn't where I got my stats from, but they are all there... http://www.spellbooksoftware.com/d20/summons/ Stats for all the SM and SNA critters

Absolutely, and somewhere I found word documents with all the summon monster spells and summon nature's ally spells, by level, with the accompanying stats. I give them to my players if they are going to summon things and I always have them if I'm the summoner. Makes life much easier. The...

A fellow player had her Druid leave the group in the exact opposite direction of the rest of the group after a party blowup. The party blowup happened due to poor tacticts fighting mummys. She never made it to a temple in time before she died of mummy rot :confused:

That would make a very fun one-shot, even if you didn't want a one shot.

For races of Stone, I actually found the book at B&N, read a bit there, and then decided to buy it. I also read midnight and decided NOT to buy it. Do I owe that dozen people money for their time?

A day, absolutely, if it was a job I was willing to take were it offered. A week or a month, no. That's too long. But a day, absolutely. I, infact, actually did that once and netted my self a job. I've also taken a job where I started for a month at a reduced pay and if I was working out...

No, but if somebody walked up to me and said, "here, this is the new B&R flavor, you should try it" I might have a bite That's all the justification you are going to get from me, because strictly speaking, you have the correct take on the issue and the higher moral ground. I'll just continue...

No but, I have been known to ask for that little plastic spoon of ice cream they give you at Baskin and Robins if I haven't tried an icecream that looks promising. Besides, I need to eat something and that's what resturants are for. I didn't know I needed Frostburn until I read it.

Flame away but.... When ever possible I download everything I am going to purchase before I buy it. If I decided I want the product, I buy it, otherwise I delete the PDF and save the bookstore the hassle of a returned product. Had I not done this I probably wouldn't own DMG II, Frostburn or...

It's happened to us on occasion. When you play a weeknight game and people have long drives home and jobs to goto the next day you can only play so long. Digital cameras and just plain writing on the battlemap keeps everything straight until the next session. In fact, right now, I am in mid...

I think if ever one of my players became a hunter of the dead I'd add Grave Strike to the spell list. It's not enitrely outside the realm of possibility given my penchant for undead (not like that you sickos)

My wife plays in 2 of the 3 games I play. The third game plays 1st and 3rd wednesday of the month. Back in June everybody else showed up at the 5th wednesday thinking the game was every-other week. I was supposed to come home from the Gym to put steaks on the grill for me and my wife. I...

I voted disallow but as always it's just the closest option in the poll. I designate books as "in play" for feats and core classes but I ask players to clear as early as possible with me their choices of Presteige classes. I don't want them building towards a presteige class I wouldn't want...

For reasons still misunderstood by me, the party 9, 6th level characters were hired to take out an archmage. Prior to this battle the Monk in the party had accidentally shot the Samurai several times and had been warned. During the battle we actually manage to kill the archmage due to the fact...
