I did address this though. THAC0 was miserable from its inception and the change in how AC works and class bonuses were given made sense. The thing that did not change however is that the player still rolled a die to make an attack. When they streamlined saving throws, I think they did a...

Oh, I cheat. I cheat a LOT. I'll figure out a way to cheat.... every time if it makes for more compelling gaming. But that really wasn't the point. The point was is that saving throws are part of the DnD game. If you take them away, you are taking away a big portion of what is DnD...

So, does this mean that saving throws are gone? That's one of the big elements of the game. I really don't want my players determining success or failure of a particular save they initiated, I want that freedom as the DM. If I fudge, and I do fudge, I usually fudge in favor of the players...

I'd buy one now that they are discounted... Aluvial

I deal with this in a different way. I set a parameter up, some rules that the players must follow. This system works for me, because I give out an experience report to each player at the start of each game session. First, I set a quorum up for play. If I have 3 players, we need 2 people to...

I was irrationally irritated when they changed the "thief" to "rogue"... and because my typing/spelling is poor, I typically type/spell it "rouge," which just gets me all irritated again that it was ever changed to begin with... But then again, I was a young chap when I played a thief and...

That's it! Thanks so much. I looked and looked, of course, not in armor... but in so many books... Aluvial

I don't think if you bought them just for the errata it would be worth it. But if you bought them for the quality of the book, the feel of soft leather in your hands, nice gilded? pages, and a colored bookmark (red for PH, blue for DMG, green for the MM). I just love running the game out of...

Not there. I think I borrowed the concept from another type of item, and called it an amulet. Then again, who knows? I can't remember. A reminder for all DM's, make sure you have your player write down the page # of the item... Ugg, if I could only get my players to remember this...

I'm looking for an item that I passed out a long time ago to one of my PC's. I called it an Amulet of Undead Control, caster 13, Will? 20, control up to 26 HD. I can't find it of course. Does anyone know of this item and reference? Thanks Aluvial

I ran that monster a few years ago. I use the Wizard's Amulet freebie and then Crucible of Freya. I put those just west of Hommlet. Afterwards, I had the group go to Verbobonc and used some of the great resources that are out there for that. By then, they were levels 3-4 and ready to get...

Hmm... It looks like Wizard's took down my message post for age... Why do you think they would ahve done that? Aluvial

For my purposes, those categories are too broad. But thanks for compiling the data there. I'm still waiting for the Wizards poll to run. Unfortunately, they don't have polls. I'm doing it by hand. Aluvial

Thanks fr the responses so far... My hope is to get some more responses so that I can have a good representation of the folks here. I am going to run this poll in other places... Wizards is next. By the way, I'm 35. Aluvial

How old are you? I'm not sure if I've seen this poll before, but I'm really interested in how old the majority of gamers are, mainly DnD players. So, if you play DnD, how old are you? Aluvial

Does ammunition, especially arrow have a size? Or is it just the weapon that makes certain damage based on size? In other words, are there Small arrows? Aluvial

Don't. Put some type of gate to Greyhawk in and then run the adventure. Mord wants you adventurers with absolutely no tie to Oerth.... he gets them from where he wants. Aluvial

I'm excited about the big news... Anyhow, what about the rest of the convention? Is anyone there? What about some pics? Come on, I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of some cool display or something.... Hello? Aluvial

Not sure if people have seen this. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=welcome/conventions/gencon07 Aluvial

Hey! I resemble that remark... I just LOVE house rules... and luckily for me, it my house. Aluvial
