In my campaign if hit point damage takes you from positive HP to below -10 you are instead at -9hp and you will die in one round and you don't get a stabilzation roll. This has a lot to do with the fact that I am running a world's largest dungeon campaign and bringing in new characters is a bit...

players must roll at least 30% of their die. You don't roll at first level you get max. So... d4s and d6s ones count as twos d8s and d10s ones and two's count as threes d12 ones, twos and threes count as fours

Until I saw the spellbook D20 utility above I swore by Emas' sheets, just like you, solely for the spell sheets. My problem with them has always been that she's incorporated books we don't use into them and we've had to ignore/cross out certain spells. The utility above will make spell lists...

YOWZA!!!

I'm finding it harder and harder to specialize. There seems to be spells too good to give up from every school, just not at every level. This probably comes from using the PHB and all the complete books (and for one campaign, the Planar Handbook). Want to be a necromancer? Stuck for what to...

Thinking in my games isn't required but there is a recommended daily allowance. Failing to think will eventually make life very difficult for your character as there is usually more going on than is readily apparent.

My biggest piece of advice. Listen to your players speculate amoungst themselves. When they "figure out" something about what's going on and it makes sense, seriously consider it actually being what's going on (or at least 80% true) They will feel all smart for figuring out the plot, you will...

There was that episode of TNG where the 80s wallstreet shark was found criogenically frozen in space and they revived him. He was quite interesting as a strong willed hard as nails (mentally) person who was thrown into a situation where his entire outlook and worldview doesn't apply.

Damn skippy! If pressed, I'd even go as far as saying that SEA water has been touched by the god of the oceans and that's why it works better. If they try to argue, just bludgeon them with the nearest rulebook and remind them that D&D isn't real life and physics and chemistry don't always...

Here we mourn Signhe. Human Fighter 5. She rushed into battle with hobgoblins, was targeted by a hold person spell, couldn't summon up the will to shake it off and was dispatched while she was unable to do anything but watch a hobgoblin calmly cut her throat since she was totally cut off from...

I started a game about a year and a half ago where the DM just told us when we "dinged". I'm not entirely sure he was even keeping strict track as we generally just leveled after a significant game event like completing a mini-arch. I have taken to this approach in the two different games I'm...

I am currently running two games (Both the WLD) and playing in the weekly game. For the two games I am running we have the following books "in play" The PHB, all 4 complete books and I generally use just the MM but have occasionally thrown in a monster from MM3. The weekly game we have the...

That's practically sig. worthy

ooooh, that's extra spiffy. And here I've been using it to let the party fighter cast shield other on her scout cohort.

But the real question is... the the spell an (enlarged & hightened) lightning bolt or an enlarged (hightened lightning bolt) because if it's the second case then a sorceror casts a hightened lighning bolt as a full round action and the enlarging it requires an extra full round action to cast...

It's a testament to the adaptability of the D20 system that it could be done. I peeked at it at my FLGS and it doesn't look bad. I wouldn't play it and I'm a HUGE wrestling fan and an even bigger gamer but I don't want these two hobbies/interests to merge. Honestly though, maybe for a...

They make a great 5th character to a group. We've only just now picked up a "pure" arcane caster and we've suffered for it's lack until now. We are currently 11th level and we started at 6th. The warlock seriously needs to pick up virtrolic blast as his next invocation. SR is a bitch.

95-98% of what I've played has been D&D. Currently that's 3.5. I played champions 17 years ago for a summer that same GM then ran us through what I think was gurps but we didn't have character sheets. We just had the barest details about what our characters were and we gave the GM the order...

I am now letting the dice fall where they may. However... If you get taken from Positive HP to -10 or below you are instead at -9hp and will die in exactly one round. You do not get to make a stabilization roll, you need somebody else to stabilize you. Makes things really interesting when...

We have a warlock in the group we are playing right now. Until very recently, he was our only arcanist. Very, very limiting. The class is balanced and kind of funky but it's a definate "fifth player" kind of class.
