The problem is that the WoL balancing mechanic (as well as the one put forth by the game mechanics) strives to put balance in an area that is up to the DM to balance. The only way to legitimately balance a leveled weapon is to not give out as much treasure. The only way to do this is for the...

Thats assuming death is a rare thing in the campaign. adv1: 4 PCs start at level 1. All survive. Ends with all at 3rd level. adv2: 4 3rd level PCs, one dies, the rest level to 5, the replacement character because he is lower level gets tons more experience. He comes out level 3 adv3: 3 5th...

I dunno, the way I play, something like Blackrazor would really mess up a character's life. Also, all of the party would not be the same level because when I character dies I am in favor of having the new character start at level 1. I think my prob is that there is both unlock and sacrifice...

Man, so much for simplicity. I like the gets better as you level concept, but don't dig the "unlock" Video Game mechanic doubled up with the sacrifice stuff to use it concept. In fact just having it get better with level of the weilder is enough. I think I would just make an analogous...

what are the penalties all about?

Actually one could use the bloodlines from Unearthed Arcana to simulate a human that had a faint ammount of elf in his heritage. Just give a human Elf bloodline and you have your Tolkeinian "High Man." Aaron.

See "The Wilderlands of High Fantasy," "Players Guide to the Wilderlands" and "City State of the Invincible Overlord".

If imagination translated directly to political power, you would rule a large chunk of the world.

The reason it runs out: The problem is the nature of the world. To keep a world believable, the power levels increase in rarity as you go up. Typically the party is never set back in their experience gain, and generally the death of a character is somthing that many DMs try to avoid. Even...

I once figured out a way to cram greyhawk, 3e FR, Wilderlands and Blackmoor all onto the same globe. I think it would be fun to use different parts to make a setting. I would use the Red Wizards, Rary the Traitor, A bunch of individual locations (not nations or regions though) from FR and...

CAT people suck. If they are in a game they should be halfling sized. Tiger people and lion people - thats just cool.

The other thing that makes paladins hard to play in this society is that we have virtualy outlawed the emotions of hate and anger. These can be justified and righteous. Note that hate is not the trademarked hate as in being homophobic or racist or whatever, it is the hate that come from the...

Now they just need one for Classes (core and prestege), and one for Feats. Then all I would need to buy at the core level would be the three core books, spell comp, class comp, UA, DMG2, Draconomicon, and LoM.

context- JC is sending out his desciples with nothing but the clothes on their backs to spread the word... They have a high probability of getting their rears handed to them and is telling them to be careful but not to loose their inocence. "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves...

The problem is actually cultural. The truth is that Paladins are the only character class that are built around the idea that there is an absolute of right and wrong, good and evil. The modern west is becoming a relativistic society. Generally truth in the society is becoming a personal...

So far, the auctions have brought in about $700 for Damon. There are about 21-23 more auctions coming. I just spoke to Damon's mother at church last evening and Damon just got done with another visit to the hospital. The cancer was actually inside the lung and on part of his diaphram. They...

I brought this up a while ago and someone was dissing it saying it was not that good. I saw it at the HPL Film Fest this year and it was one of the only two films worth watching that I saw. The coolest part is when one of the sailors is swallowed by the non-euclidean geometery. REally really...

Keep in mind its one of goodmans competition mods, so it is supposed to be pretty difficult, ala Tomb of Horrors.

I thought they were simply made so if the gaming group was small you wouldn't have holes in the party. They are simply characters with main character syndrome. I have an image of Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas. Aragorn is a Fighter/Ranger, Gimli is a Fighter/Barbarian and Legolas is a...

Um... I hear the 3e Manual of the Planes is pretty good. PLanar Handbook is not all that bad. It compliments MotP in an ok way. If you can get it at bargian all the better. But if you have to go with one I would say Beyond Countless Doorways. Aaron.
