Not wait, I forgot another best in-game moment. The cleric is hit by disintegrate spell, and fails the save. And takes 40d6 damage against his maybe 100 hit points. He tears up his character sheet (literally). We roll damage. He is a -50 or something. He keeps tearing up his character...

Interesting analysis, keep up the work. I didn't see where you explained how you came up with the 3E XP total. 3E XP is based on the current party level, so as the party goes up levels the XP goes down. Rather significant in an adventure where the characters go from 3rd to 6th.

Best moment 4th level barbarian versus Ogre Mage. Win initiative, crit, 60+ damage. Barbarian wins! (It has been a slow year.) Industry-wise, I think the best moment is Iron Heroes. Worst moment The mage player moved away so I retired my rather boring fighter to play a mage. Finally, I...

Magic Domain I'm going to overlook my major flaw (that a lot of these aren't outsiders, but instead merely extraplanar), and press on. Next stop, the Magic domain. The Magic Domain could be really easy if I wanted to just say "any summoned creature is pure freaking magic", but that misses the...

I like the idea of one feat per level after 10th. That way dipping is the same, but you have a reason to stick with fighter for 20 levels. Another good idea is BAB +21 and five attacks at 20th level. This one might get some to stick if you play near epic, but it is too far away for most...

My 12th level Elf Cleric Archer has an AC of only 18 (mithral chain shirt, +4 for dex). But then he uses magic vestment, shield of faith, and shield to get 27. (He can get shield because he has a wizard level.) Haste and cat's grace are also common, taking him up to 30. Next level, he'll get...

After a bad session, I usually write an email to my best friend who is in the group. Something along the lines of "did that game suck as much as I thought." We discuss it, and I narrow down how things went bad. For things like too slow or not getting into the flow or bad descriptions, I vow...

Well, "plan" might be a bit strong. I'll see if I ever get the core domains done first. I've been using the SRD. Are the Deities & Demigods domains the same ones shown on http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/divineMinionsDomainsSpells.htm? If so, I'm interested in doing a couple of those to fill in...

Hey, that's cool. I'm glad you like the idea. Right now I'm trying to figure out how it works with the various domains. I'm working up to the harder ones. I want to try Magic next. Then something esoteric like Luck, Travel or Knowledge.

I messed up I've made to mistakes that I just caught: First, I put Couatl as CG instead of LG. So I had to redo the Good domain, but while I noticed that the celestial template does not change the creature's type to outsider. This invalidates a bunch of the work I've done. I could replace...

Law Domain Now something tougher: the Law Domain. I can't fall back on the celestial template (well, I suppose I could), and the axiomatic template isn't core (and thus not in the SRD I'm using). Lesser Planar Ally (6HD or less) Azer Monk 4 Formian Taskmaster Achaierai (if Evil) Hound Archon...

That's pretty much how we have house ruled it in two different games with two different DMs. The double raging in the same encounter thing hasn't come up but twice, and the DM allowed the barb to rage again while fatigued (combining the two effects) and then be exhausted afterwards. It didn't...

Good Domain At first blush, the Good Domain is kind of easy, but then again there aren't that many creatures that are just plain good, so I have to include LG and CG as options. I wanted at least three options for each spell level, so I had to give the Celestial template to ordinary good...

Fire Domain The Fire Domain is quite easy as there are lots of choices in the MM: Lesser Planar Ally (6HD or less) -Fire Mephit -Medium Fire Elemental -Flamebrother Salamander (Any of these can be advanced to 6HD if desired) Planar Ally (12HD or less) -Large Fire Elemental -Efreet -Average...

In order to tailor planar ally creatures by god, I came up with the concept of a list of applicable Planar Ally outsiders by clerical domain. So gods that give out the fire domain to their clerics would have a specific list of creatures they send when planar ally spells are cast. The cleric...

I voted #3, although I don't know what the dead person's Fort Save is. Does he get benefit of a cloak of protection? This is one of the reasons I've house ruled that you save immediately to determine if the neg level is permanent or 24-hours. The other reason is to avoid people taking a...

What was the specific problem? Was it the art? The card images? The text of the cards? The names of the cards? I've seen other Magic to D&D conversions that haven't been yanked.

Twice I've been close to taking alertness, and once I was close to taking Skill Focus(combat casting). But I never did. In my group, one player took Negotiator. That's it in about 40 or so characters we've played. I'm not sure it would be any different if Skill Focus was +4 or even +5. The...

What happened to The Magic Project: http://mtgd20.blogspot.com/. It appears to have completely disappeared. Any news?

Wow! I took maybe two monsters from Libris Mortis, but I use MotP every game. I'm not bad mouthing Libris Mortis, it might just not fit my campaign. But how can you never use MotP?
