Thanks guys. It wasn't entirely clear to me either way (reset or accumulate when levelling)

UA says you get 5+ 1/2 per level action points at each level Are these cumlative? So if a first level character levels up without ever using any action points does that character now have 6 or 11 action points?

I voted cleric. I used to hate clerics because your fellow players would look at you very funny if you had spells left that weren't healing spells and with 3.0/3.5 that doesn't have to be the case (or if you are evil you can buy/make healing wands now with clearly codified rules) Also...

The last campaign I ran the party was in a swamp looking for Swamplight Lynx claws so they could mitigate some of the XP cost for creating a headband of intellect. They find out there's a dragon in the swamp and they decide they want to go after it even after they find it's killed the hydra...

AMEN! We just wrapped up a campaign where we started at 12th level and worked our way up to 17th. Most of the people didn't have a grasp of how their character truly worked never mind the kinds of things high level characters need to do to survive. I think you really need to build your...

I picked other because I use D20 because the latest iteration of D&D is D20. That being said, I love the elegance and customibility of D20 and when 4th edition comes out if it's not D20 I won't move to the new system unless all I can find are 4th ed gaming groups.

here's what I came up with....

Right now I'd kill for one. I have some kind of digestive issue. Every time I've eaten for the last two weeks it's caused me horrible indegistion, heart burn and it's actually made it feel like I had a lot of pressure on my chest and it would get mildly difficult to catch my breath. I'm not...

My next campaign is going to have Rakhasas as the main Cabal of bad guys and in addition to real full-blooded Rakhasas there will be those who have Rakhasa ancestry. So I'm looking for a little help. I'm thinking they probably only qualify for an intermediate bloodline but I'm tempted to make...

Reminds me of this... http://www.theonion.com/onion3121/billgates.html

Balance for character effectiveness is nice and I try to discourage anybody from trying to "break" the system or their character. However, the most important balance is spotlight time or at least playing time. I absolutely hate spotlight hoggers that are constantly trying to monopolize the...

I once gave a first level party a wand of charm monster. Of course it only had 1 charge left and half the party started out the campaign charmed. It could have had 3 charges but when the big battle between both halves of the players started, 2 of the players made the will save I granted them...

Had this been a check box poll I would have selected 1-5 and 6-11 but I chose 1-5. I like having characters work their way up from first or second level and actually have an in game story to go with their back story when they start to get a little powerful. Plus it's hella fun to start using...

Title says it all...

I am starting to bite my tongue during games. I'm in a campaign where we started at 12th level and we've progressed to 16th and possibly soon 17th level. There's a lot going on at that level and the DM occasionally misses something, I normally wait until after the game and IM the DM with...

I just started playing in a game away from my normal group. We have been captured by Drow and are being tortured to extract Liquid Pain. As I am preparing to DM for my next turn in the big chair at my normal game, I plan on grabbing this idea, simple though it may be.

My last campaign started with 3 of the 7 players wanting to play savage species characters. Each of the "monster" characters were charmed by a man who was taking them into the mountains to keep someone from retreving something very dangerous. He was a bit of a bastard. He made the Frost...

As a DM I guess I perfer option 2. If players come in at a higher level I allow them to spend no more that 40% of their wealth on one item and no more than 20 percent on the other items. As a player I like this too.

This is far and away the biggest DM's tool I've ever used. It makes me estatic when my players think out loud. One, it means they are into the game enough that they aren't just waiting for things to happen to them and they are enjoying themselves. Two, having it be something "I've planned all...

Inspired by the things that annoy your pcs thread... I'll start the ball rolling with a few Having fellow players that the DM doesn't trust not to act on out of character knowledge so either the DM and a player have to leave the room or the player who isn't "there" has to leave the room...
